This week, I listened to 63 hours and 30 minutes of podcasts.

You read that right: I listened to over 2 and a half days’ worth of audio this week. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s been A Week.

Usually I spend a lot of time outside, but with this heat wave I’ve hunkered down in my office and have filled my ear holes with delicious delicious podcasts. I did spend a lot of my day on Saturday (yesterday) at a 2-year-old’s outdoor birthday party, so keep in mind that most of this listening happened Sunday the 16th through Friday the 21st, over 6 days vs 7.

But don’t worry: I didn’t actually listen to podcasts for that long. Remember, I listen at 1.5x speed with silences trimmed to most podcasts. Some I do listen to at regular speed (like this week’s episode of How To Act Fereldan and the upcoming episodes of The Deposition 😘), but accounting for the time saved for trimming silences, it probably averages out to 1.5x speed overall.

All this to say that I have two new statistics to add to the tracker: Listening Time at 1.5x Speed and Approximate Daily Listening at 1.5x Speed…. I think Approximate Daily Listening is also new since last week? That makes it three!

So… lots of listening, new data, lots of flagged episodes, no summaries this week!
