Speed talking

I love all that you do and stand for. I have one question do you speed up the talking on the Podcasts? I have a really hard time with how fast everyone is talking. It’s not just your podcast. It does happen on quite a few ones, but I just can’t listen because of that. again thank you for the work you do.
