I’ve been trying to catch up on the old episodes (7 to go) so I generally listen on 1.5 speed. 2x is way too fast and 1.5x lets me get through an entire episode during the commute.
The other day I accidentally set the player to 1/2 speed. What followed was quite humorous. Everyone sounded drunk! Even some slurred speech. It was quite consistent. didn’t seem to matter who was talking.
I need to go back and listen to the alcohol episode this way!
