Interesting. I wonder why that is happening. Oh dear.

You are doing a lot to motivate writers and give their stories TLC..

A discrepancy I noticed is between the actual listening time and what is credited by Medium as reading time.

For example, my "Ginger" story on the Daily Cuppa is a 1-minute read. However listening time for the story is 36 seconds. When someone listens to the story throughout I guess you will get the 1-minute credit for reading time. I they read it at normal read it will not be a full minute.
