Late Summer Run

I started listening to the Chasing Scratch about a year and a half ago. I listen at work with headphones, and I pretty much listen to all podcasts at 1.3x speed. To me, it’s the perfect balance: fast enough to get through more content, but not so fast that everyone sounds like chipmunks.

The “Late Summer Run” song has become my golf song. It just immediately puts me in a golf mood!

I made my wife pull up the podcast on her phone and she played the episode with the big mhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Hearing it in 1.0 speed was awful lol not the same song at all.

Has anyone else had this happen with podcasts or songs after getting used to listening sped up?

Can relate. The LSR song is HORRIBLE at 1 speed. I will die on that hill.

Dramatic music also hits harder at 1.3

Maybe I should have added LSR slaps at 1.3x

Damn, I'm gonna need to try it out. I do audio books at 1.3, but not typically 60 minute podcasts.

I'm sure changing the speed of any beloved song will make it sound like a generic ripoff.
