I'm not that starved for content that I need to speedrun it. 1x speed is fine for me.

You don’t have to listen to everything.

I know. The few shows I have are enough for me.

I drive a lot for work, so I listen to a lot of audio books and podcasts. I got to the point that listening at 1.5x sounds normal. It doesn't feel like speedrunning, I don't even do it to get through stuff faster, it is just that people talk so ... slowly.

1.5x is probably my happy medium where I can still take stuff in. 2x is just to fast for me. Age might have something to do with that as well.
