I also love Pocket Casts, particularly with the "skip pauses" feature. Often podcasts are full of short pauses... to date, I have saved 9 hours of time with the feature enabled!

I’ve saved 18 hours, and over 2 days by playing at 1.5x speed! Whoa. I listen to podcasts more than I thought!

I too am a podcast addict and listen at 2x-3x on most of my podcasts (the non fiction ones).

According to Pocket Casts, variable speed has saved me 281 days, 2 hours. Removing silence 3 days, 23 hours.

(@rustyshelf, if you're out there, how do I rank? :-) )

2.2x and silence skipping. I've saved 180 hours according to podcast addict on the silence skipping alone and probably another 400 on speed.

I'm at 42 days 5 hours total. I love love love Pocket Casts stats, and think they should be more prominent.

I've listened to 37 days, 9 hours total, and have saved 28 days 22 hours.

- 1 day 5 hours from skipping - 25 days 19 hours from variable speed - 1 day 12 hours from remove silence - 8 hours 28 minutes from skipping intros

I'm most surprised by hour much "remove silence" has saved me.
