    Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.

    yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.

        Many podcast apps also have a “skip silences” feature.

        I don’t use it, but I know others find utility in it.

          Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)

          Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with the use of pauses for narrative effect

            Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I don’t use the feature :)

            I think many of them are adjustable in terms of how aggressive they are at cutting out silences.
