Castro allows you to compress the silent parts of a podcast, They claim it can reduce podcast listening time by 10-20%. (I haven’t measured.) I’m fairly sure other podcast apps have the same feature.

It’s a great feature. I was a years-long Castro subscriber until I switched to Fountain.
Not just the silent parts but the entire format - not a fan. The new trends is to literally browse and checks things while you’re recording. It takes so much longer to get to their point. I personally don’t care to wait for someone to browse for 5 mins to find something.
