A discussion about corporate and business podcasting with tips and guidelines

Thanks for the pointer. There are a couple of podcasts I listen to that are more entertainment-based than info-based, and I think you are right in that they lose more - the cadence and so forth I mentioned in my entry. But mostly I think it's a matter of getting used to faster speeds. It's all a matter of perspective. After a while, you are just accustomed to that higher speed, and so it sounds more "normal" to you, whether it's for entertainment or info. Also depends on how much else you listen to at real-world speeds, I suppose. As far as concentration, I don't think it requires 100%, but because it requires more, you do know when you are too distracted to listen to something pretty quickly, and perhaps it's a good thing, since you might want to turn the iPod off and let yourself process whatever it is your brain needs to deal with :)

Thanks Levi,

In the end, I guess it's all about choice. I can see your point that when you become accustomed to the faster speeds that it's not a problem. I spent some time in the Navy and I can read flashing light morse code and signal flags just because I'm used to doing it. I suppose listening to speeded up audio just requires the same exposure as learning anything new.
