BRX Pro Tip: 1.6X Podcast Speed
Stone Payton : And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, you listen to our radio programming here at Business RadioX and podcasts from all over a little differently than some of us do. Say a little bit about that.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, I listen to all my podcasts at 1.6x, at the speed of 1.6x. I don’t listen to it at the normal speed as people talk. And this lets me listen to more podcasts in less time. Right now, I use Spotify as my main way to listen to podcasts and music, but when I listen to podcasts, I use Spotify. And we as a family pay for the premium family plan so we don’t have to listen to commercials so that’s important to me as well.
Lee Kantor: So, what I do with podcasts is I adjust the speed and I try different speeds, and I like 1.6x, which is just right for me. And that allows me to listen to a 60-minute podcast in 37.5 minutes so I can listen to more podcasts in less time and still get the idea of what’s happening. And it still allows me to pause it and take notes and things like that if something interesting comes up. But it just gets rid of all of the kind of the gaps and time and pauses and things like that, and it goes at a speed where I can still understand what they’re saying, I can still listen and comprehend what they’re saying, but it just gets rid of all kind of the extra time. And so, I get more information in less time.
