That depends completely on the podcast, it's weird to impugn an entire category of media because you've picked bad podcasts. Podcasts like The Economist, Slow News Cast, Sensemaker and The Inquiry have basically no wasted time whatsoever. They are punchy as any radio story, which is why I prefer this category of podcast. I for one can't stand to listen to long rambling repetitive conversations from guys like Huberman or Rogan, which is why I don't listen to them.
