> Imagine trying to complain that the "information density" of The Tonight Show Starring Jim Fallon--or hell: The Howard Stern Show ;P those are largely comedy though right? Comedy is too dependent on timing to worry about information density. It also depends on why you tuned in. If you start a podcast in order to hear a bunch of people chatting and joking for an hour that's one thing, but when you hit the play button with the goal of learning about something it's more like a lecture that contains 20 minutes of information padded out to an hour.
