[quote=Yoda]Oh I'm good with tangents. I'm talking about long pauses, ums and ahs getting left in, and small breaks to clarify things that add nothing. That kinda stuff. Just a lot of "air" and wasted time between the actual content of the discussion.

Most podcasts, this stuff isn't noticeable, until you compare it to a tightly edited one side-by-side. And then it's really, really noticeable and hard not to notice for, well, the rest of your life. As a result, I can be really, really impatient with podcasts, even ones I normally love. It's why I find myself listening to "Conversations With Tyler" a lot (and not EconTalk as much, even though I think it's great otherwise).[/quote]

[quote=seanc]I can’t do the 1.5 thing even with podcasts. The voice change is just too distracting[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]If your podcast doesn't have tangents then you are dong it wrong.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]If everyone edited their podcasts that way there'd be very little benefit to listening to them faster.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]That thing about listening to podcasts at 1.5x speed is very effective, with some (dense) exceptions. Though this is largely because most podcasts are poorly edited, if they're meaningfully edited at all.

This is one of the reasons we don't do ours regularly any more, I'm constitutionally incapable of NOT editing them thoroughly to cut out all the extra cruft and it's mentally exhausting, and time consuming.[/quote]

Sorry, I am watching a film at 1.5 speed on another screen as I type this.[/quote]
This should warrant a ban from MoFo.[/quote]

Could be worse, we got a whole thread dedicated to not even watching a movie but commenting on it….oh wait, that’s what you do all the time[/quote]
