    I’m typically looking to entertain myself with a podcast and skipping silence would be like cutting parts of scenes in a movie because “nothing is happening”.

    It’s probably more of an issue with the cheap Bluetooth devices I’ve tried to use.

      Sorry I still don’t see the issue.

      Aren’t those skip silence trimmers just a few seconds of nothing?

      I have always had them on with Pocket Casts and honestly I wouldn’t know better 😅

        Some people don’t mind watching syndicated reruns of TV sitcoms that have been sped up to provide more time for commercial breaks. I find that it ruins the experience for me. Conversations have natural pauses and cutting them out in a podcast similarly ruins the experience for me. Google podcasts has this feature and I intentionally don’t use the feature.
