      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.
