I enjoyed listening to this audio!
I like the history part and also the myths.

I like how the author makes it clear that the real (speed reading) would not compromise your understanding of the text.
It is kinda short audio so you don't wait too long to get into the techniques and fun part.

It was interesting that I actually used to use one of the techniques (using my finger) without even knowing that it is a technique :)
