I’m curious about your podcast preferences. Let me know, as I want to start running some polls here to get a better fix on what you enjoy and how I can tailor my content better.
Spotify is my main one for podcasts but substack allows for exclusivity for them which I may try out in the future. I know you do so for the SRA pod you have, and others do the same where they have it free for 2 weeks and then archived behind the pay wall after the period is done.
I have trouble listening to most podcasts and audiobooks due to a combination of an audio processing delay and sensory compensation (super acute hearing due to hyposmia).
Fast speech is a notoriously hard for me and background noise is generally a hinderance, even if it’s music. A good example of a easy to understand podcast would be Dale Hurst’s Season 2 finale episode on Spotify. It’s one of the rare podcasts where I haven’t had to rewind constantly to understand what’s said.
On the flip side, I read at four times the average speed so have no trouble plowing through a 200 page story in a day even with my busy schedule so written versions of the content would be very helpful for me.
Interesting, we are sort of the opposite. I listen to mostly podcasts and audiobooks but prefer to listen at 1.5 to 2x speed, but when it comes to reading, I am very slow and it takes me several times to reread a passage to fully comprehend it.
I will definitely see about finding a way to get a transcript for my podcasts and posting them alongside the audio.
I prefer Overcast to Substack for podcasts, but in general, I like the option to listen to newsletters.
Spotify and Apple Podcasts are my go to, but I’m trying to use Substack for audio more.

I use it to read my stories out--that, or the video--because I can't think of a reason to have a podcast.
