Thank you for the transcript. I can read things a lot faster than most people say them, so I almost never listen to podcasts or watch, say, TED talks, because I get really frustrated with how slow they are.
There are various tools for speeding up audio while leaving it listenable. The tool to use depends on your platform, but you can find quite a few options by Googling.
I use VLC to listen to audio and watch videos at about 2x speed. VLC has keyboard shortcuts to change the speed and pitch gets adjusted automatically.
Keypad + or—to change speed in increments of 0.5x and “[” or “]” keys for increments of 0.1x

In this case, Feynman is worth listening to slowly. There is something about the way he explains this that the transcript does not do justice to.
agreed.

You can’t skim audio either. But, yes, that might help. (I just like text, I guess.)
