I listen to podcasts at 2.7x speed. There is a funny jump, from the speed where you still vocalize to something faster. It feels like it&#x27;s pumping it directly in to your brain :)<p>2.7 is the speed I can jump in any time, if I speed up incrementally I can easily go to 3.2 or something.<p>(i use windows media player for the speed up, best real-time sound stretching I found)
