    The inevitable Besser and Gabrus episodes are predetermined gold as well, Besser one should be sooner than later

    I feel like it's only a matter of time before Lin Manuel Miranda goes on there. Despite the politics of his work, he's a fairly talented and it could be pretty great.

    I didn't even realize how much I needed a Rachel Bloom episode (and it's such an obvious fit) but man, I NEED IT.

    Does anyone in here listen to podcasts on higher speeds? Coworker was telling me they listen to them at 2x, which seems insane for comedy podcasts. I can see it for something informational or an interview podcast but something like CBB at double speed seems very bad

    I've tried, it's awful. And you are right it's the worst for comedy, totally kills the timing.

    I will speed up certain ones, but only to like 1.3x or 1.5x at most.

    Never would I speed up a comedy podcast though.

    Ugh, no, but I've heard of people watching movies on 1.5 so they can watch more of them, which is ridiculous.


    Unrelated: John Cleese did an AMA and it's pretty great

    I am John Cleese: writer, actor, and tall person. AMA! • r/IAmA

    Sometimes I listen to podcast at half speed because everyone sounds very drunk and old.

    I think I've done it once or twice if I feel like an interview is dragging. But I definitely hit the skip 15 seconds button during ads (sorry Earwolf and Feral)

    Yeah, for the most part I always jam that 15 second skip button during ads with some exceptions (HH)

    With Special Guest, Talking U2 , Off Book and Spont all have the hosts do the ads so I actually like listening to them

  21. I recently started MBMBAM from episode 100 or so, currently around 175, and I never skip their ads. The Extreme Restraints saga is too endearing
