Ezra Klein puts it best

31. Well, you can always listen for a while and come back for another session if you like the first part

You can also listen at 1.5x speed or double speed, but that drives me crazy, so I just listen in real time.

I don't always finish them, but when I have time to take a long walk, sometimes The Ezra Klein Show is just the ticket. The time goes by before I realize it. Or my wife and I will listen to them together at home sometimes while eating breakfast. She's a huge Ezra fan.

I have 10 or 15 podcasts in my regular rotation. I don't listen to every one every week, but some are a half hour or even less. The hardest one to plow through sometimes for me is David Plouffe's Campaign HQ. It's usually interesting, and he has good guests, but it's really inside baseball, and he has a tendency to rattle on sometimes. So I usually check that one out only once every few weeks.
