Lol no! I always use 1x on podcasts. In this case specially because i am no native english speaker and the content is very dense (on the more interesting parts I would even rewind to listen twice). On top, I agree with the other comment that his storytelling skills are great and worth savoring.

But even on brazilian, humorous podcasts i dont speed up. I listen while doing chores and the ocasional commute. No hurry. I took about a month to finish this one.

Agreed with several points in this thread. Your English is good!

I can understand how keeping it at a normal rate is beneficial as deep as he goes on the material.

I've found the audio has to be clean and clear to take advantage of higher speeds of listening. Takes practice, but almost every podcast I enjoy I do 1.5x+.

Yes, thanks!

It is better in written form. Two tips: always review it after writing and use Grammarly (https://www.grammarly.com/).
