I've never done much with podcasts at all. I picked this one as my first foray into that world because I like the 3 dudes involved. I've finished the first episode with Dax Shepard. Don't know much about him but it was entertaining.

But god almighty, are these 4 dudes on coke?? It was like listening to the speed talker from the '80s commercials or some dude that does the speed talking disclaimers at the end of a radio commercial. Absolutely unreal how fast they were talking and was a little hard to follow at times. I thought maybe I had a FF setting on that sped it up kind of like Audible has, but don't see anything.

Do they always talk at this pace?

Hi,
This is 100% not a troll. But I don't like podcasts as a media format and never have at any point over the last 10-15 years that they've been a thing. Anyway, I picked out a popular podcast to try it and I hated it.
See you next Summer!

i listen to all podcasts at 1.5x speed and don't think of the Smartless guys as talking any faster than other podcasts i listen to.

i enjoy Smartless, it's certainly in the rotation, but it depends a LOT on the guest for me.

I listen to it when they have good guests, and they get more A list than most, but it isn't my favorite. Just too much slobbering over their guest and banter that isn't particularly funny. I think having 3 equally contributing hosts is too much. Much prefer Conan when it comes to an interview format podcast.

I do 1.5x for most podcast but Shapiro is by far the worst one at that speed. Normally I don't notice but there's some occasions where I hear somebody not on a podcast that I listen to and am like "Whoah, that's their voice?"

Lol. So there is a speed setting. I found it and mine was set to 1.5x.

Jesus, I thought I was losing my mind.

I LOVE podcasts so I'll give this a go!

It is mostly podcasts, documentaries and true crime for me…

I do look forward to wherever the new bond comes out on hbo max or some other service!!!

If you like true crime, listen to Cold season one and In Your Own Backyard

That's in my lineup…it was very good. My backyard is now SA, though, but I remember the whole crazy LISK mess.

The podcast on the Susan Powell unsolved case is very good. That whole family (sans the one sane sister) was effed

They filmed their road tour and released it on HBO. I highly recommend, it's hilarious.
