but a podcast has a flow that makes you inherently aware of how much time is passing unless it has absurdly long and flexible runtimes (and I do listen to some 4+ hour podcasts weekly). Something like 99% Invisible is amazing but the condensed 15 minute episodes and you constantly listening to a loop of intros and closers can wear after a while. iirc the History of Rome was really good at keeping the intros, exits, sponsored content and all that stuff as minimal as possible though, I definitely binged it but even then the fact that it was originally presented in these 15 minute chunks made it kind of exhausting at points. You need to get onto the LBJ ones! Not quite as good but it's pretty damn good.
