headphones and the number 1.2x
What is the correct way to listen to podcasts and audiobooks? It's at a speed of 1.2x.
  • Listening to audiobooks and podcasts at 1.2x speed is ideal.
  • It's not so fast you lose track — and you can finish a 10-hour book in 8 hours and 20 minutes
  • Spotify provided data showing that 98.5% of people never change the podcast speed. Tragic!

How we actually engage with technology in our lives is often intensely personal.
