Questions
- How is the time saved estimated?
- We assume an average episode is about one hour and that reading a briefing takes about 4 minutes. Your real numbers depend on the shows you follow and how many episodes you still choose to listen to in full.
- Do I have to stop listening to podcasts?
- No. The idea is to read briefings first and keep full listening for the episodes that are genuinely worth your time.
- Is the calculator free?
- Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no account and stores nothing.
