I listen to most podcasts at 1.3 to 2.0 times faster than normal so I can be productive and efficient at cramming information into my skull.
If you also do that, do me a favor and take a break from that habit on this particular podcast episode.
Why?
Because speeding up music ruins it. I spend many hours integrating music for your listening pleasure. Besides, I edited out 60% of my one-hour interview. Therefore, in a sense, it's already sped up!
As a bonus, I'm Beta Testing a new segment called...
Question of the Week!
