      I work in construction, and if I'm working on a project by myself I can get through about nine and a half hours of podcasts and audiobooks in an eight hour day; with that said, those rambling podcasts don't interest me in the least, I prefer them to go from thirty minutes to an hour and thirty.

        nine and a half hours of podcasts and audiobooks in an eight hour day;

        Are you playing some of those at 1.5 speed or something, are you doing the much more sane thing and listening to two simultaneously, one on each earphone?

          Yea I'm listening at 1.2x speed, for me it's perfect and feels more conversational. Because I still work in construction, it can be dangerous to wear two ear buds in case somebody has to get your attention.

            I have a friend who is dyslexic but listens to books on tape at 1.5x. The only thing I can listen to sped up is You Most Remember This at 1.3x. It is the most well researched and edited film podcast out there, if you're into that -- like this summer she put out a nine part series on an unsung female film producer/ex-wife of Peter Bogdonavich, with an actress reading excerpts from a 300 page unpublished memoir -- but god. damn. does. she. speak. slowly.
