- 03:02:19 Just switched to iCatcher! for podcasts. Found via @OvercastFM. First I've seen with a randomize feature! Killer for me! Thanks @joeisanerd!
- 03:09:32 Retweeted @OvercastFM 03:03:11 @abulsme @joeisanerd I shouldn’t be happy about this, I suppose, but I am. Use the one you like most! in reply to abulsme
- 03:19:47 .@OvercastFM @joeisanerd I had used @pocketcasts 4 long time. Love OC's smart speed, but needed streaming. Have wanted random 4ever though. in reply to OvercastFM
- 03:27:45 Retweeted @joeisanerd 03:27:12 @OvercastFM @abulsme I agree. Use what works best for you. in reply to OvercastFM

- 04:19:46 Retweeted @pocketcasts 04:18:36 @abulsme @OvercastFM @joeisanerd seems like a good way to go. Let's face it they are all dirt cheap, even with IAP, etc :) in reply to abulsme

- 14:15:12 Retweeted @OvercastFM 13:51:40 @pocketcasts @abulsme @joeisanerd I’m also glad to hear that you don’t like Smart Speed. :) in reply to pocketcasts
- 14:15:19 Retweeted @OvercastFM 13:52:38 @pocketcasts @abulsme @joeisanerd That’s the thing. You can buy all of the top podcast apps for under $20 total. Might as well try them all. in reply to pocketcasts
- 14:27:24 Retweeted @scottaw 14:26:34 @pocketcasts @abulsme @OvercastFM @joeisanerd that's how I feel about anything over 1x. It's consumption obsession rather than listening. in reply to pocketcasts
- 14:29:22 @scottaw @pocketcasts @OvercastFM @joeisanerd I have listened at 1.5x for so long that listening at 1x feels like swimming in molasses. in reply to scottaw
- 14:35:41 Retweeted @scottaw 14:34:24 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd anything over 1x is literally saying "you're too slow, I can't stand you, let me change you." in reply to OvercastFM
- 14:35:44 Retweeted @scottaw 14:35:20 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd I realize that's probably an extreme opinion… <symbol> in reply to OvercastFM
- 14:37:32 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd Not at all. It is just saying that you can listen and absorb faster than most people speak. in reply to scottaw
- 14:39:28 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd On the podcast I cohost, I have encouraged people to listen at 1.5x. I take no offense. :-) in reply to scottaw
- 14:42:34 Retweeted @scottaw 14:42:16 @abulsme @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd which is arrogant. How is it not? in reply to abulsme
- 14:43:22 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd Because you aren't claiming any sort of superiority or anything. It is true of most people. in reply to scottaw
- 14:44:56 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd Listening to speech easier than creating speech, and can be done faster. Not slam on speaker. in reply to scottaw
- 14:45:01 Retweeted @scottaw 14:43:02 @abulsme @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd why would I want a conversation with someone who's telling me that I'm too slow for them? in reply to abulsme
- 14:46:16 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd A conversation or anything live obviously different animal. A podcast is inherently one way. in reply to scottaw
- 14:53:00 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd So why shouldn't listeners all consume at the speed most comfortable for them? in reply to scottaw
- 14:55:21 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd For podcasts that are music based, or performed drama, or similar, dynamic a bit different. in reply to scottaw
- 14:55:34 Retweeted @scottjal 14:45:41 @scottaw @abulsme @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd because you aren't in a conversation with them, they are listening only. in reply to scottaw
- 14:57:47 .@scottaw @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @joeisanerd I slow down on some of those, but others may not. Same applies, whatever the listener likes. in reply to abulsme
- 15:23:52 Retweeted @OvercastFM 14:32:12 @abulsme @scottaw @pocketcasts @joeisanerd People accustomed to 1.5x+ who listen to ATP’s livestream always complain that we sound drunk. in reply to abulsme
- 16:00:00 Retweeted @DKatri 15:58:55 @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @abulsme @joeisanerd for something I listen to 4 or 5 hours a day $20 is no big deal. in reply to OvercastFM
- 16:06:22 Retweeted @gepeto42 16:06:09 @scottaw @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd disagree. I can’t stand 2x, but natural sounding 1.2 in Overcast saves time. in reply to scottaw
- 16:19:34 Retweeted @scottaw 16:15:45 @gepeto42 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd that's my point. Saving time is what it's all about. It's a value judgement. in reply to gepeto42
- 16:19:43 Retweeted @gepeto42 16:16:32 @scottaw @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd it’s a quality one, a lot of podcasts would have empty space cut in post. in reply to scottaw
- 16:19:49 Retweeted @scottaw 16:17:26 @gepeto42 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd that's smart speed, not 1.5x. in reply to gepeto42
- 16:19:53 Retweeted @scottaw 16:18:17 @gepeto42 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd smart speed I see differently because it doesn't alter people's voices. in reply to gepeto42
- 16:19:57 Retweeted @scottaw 16:18:46 @gepeto42 @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd it also doesn't completely cut the pauses. It's very well done. Keeps the essence. in reply to gepeto42
- 16:19:59 Retweeted @gepeto42 16:18:51 @scottaw @OvercastFM @abulsme @pocketcasts @joeisanerd Yeah. Then we are saying the same thing I guess. in reply to scottaw

- 18:39:37 Retweeted @scottaw 18:06:16 @vichudson1 this is what bothers me: https://t.co/FB4YSgCQUk in reply to vichudson1
- 18:39:55 Retweeted @scottaw 18:07:15 @vichudson1 it's the attitude that you're too slow, my brain is faster, I can't wait for you. I see people do it to each other all the time. in reply to vichudson1
- 18:40:52 .@scottaw @vichudson1 In person, this would of course be rude. You wouldn't tell someone to please speed up. in reply to scottaw
- 18:41:50 .@scottaw @vichudson1 Listening to something prerecorded is completely different. Why would you NOT listen at speed most comfortable to you? in reply to scottaw
- 19:59:23 Retweeted @scottaw 19:04:58 @abulsme Comfort has NOTHING to do with it. It's about speeding it up to shorten the listening time. At least be honest about it @vichudson1 in reply to abulsme
- 19:59:26 Retweeted @scottaw 19:05:41 @abulsme if we needed to hear things really fast to be comfortable, our ears would work differently. @vichudson1 in reply to abulsme
- 20:02:51 .@scottaw @vichudson1 Both. Yes time savings helpful. But changing speed also makes it easier (more comfortable) 4 me to absorb content. in reply to scottaw
- 20:04:26 .@scottaw @vichudson1 Ideal speed will vary by content & by person listening. But generally won't be same as original speed. Why not adjust? in reply to scottaw
- 20:05:49 .@scottaw @vichudson1 it isn't the ears, it is the brain. And everybody's brain IS different. Everybody processes things in their own way. in reply to scottaw
- 20:07:35 .@scottaw @vichudson1 Live, the listener MUST adapt to what is there. With a recording, playback can adapt instead. This is good, not bad. in reply to scottaw
