A note on comprehension. Most listeners adapt to 1.5× within a few episodes. Above roughly 2×, recall starts to drop on dense or unfamiliar material — fiction and conversational shows hold up far better than technical ones. If you are re-listening to something you already know, speed costs you very little.
