The pain
Long podcasts are expensive when your calendar is already full
A 2-hour episode condensed to 15 minutes gives you 105 minutes back every time you press play.
Where your time disappears
Full episode120 min
EssenceCast output15 min
You recover 1 hour 45 minutes
Per episode, with only the high-signal moments left in the final cut.
Your best ideas hide in the middle
Long episodes bury signal under intros, sponsor reads, and unrelated stories.
You pay with attention
Context switching for two hours drains focus, especially when only a few moments matter.
Learning cadence breaks
Busy schedules need short, repeatable listening blocks that fit real life.
