What's your preferred playback speed: 1x, 1.5x or 2x?
GLEN POWELL, a Hollywood heartthrob, likes 1x listening speed: 'I want to hear people talk at a normal human rate.' Bowen Yang, an American comedian, prefers his narration fast and loose—'You can round up to 2x'—though he reckons 1.8x is the perfect 'Goldilocks' pace.
