Paid tier of a podcast except what you get is •less• content because they actually put each episode through a proper editorial process and trim it to 1/3 the original length
@inthehands For certain kinds of podcasts, yes, when delivering facts or analysis is the point. For other kinds, where the listening is the experience, it would be like listening to music that was edited down to 1/3 the length.
@ahltorp Speaking as a composer, I also hear a lot of new music that could benefit from being edited to 1/3 its length. I place a high aesthetic value on distillation.
