> Why would anyone go for a podcast rather than a playlist/track?
This is the biggest mystery to me too. Why not just use a 10-hour-long (or whatever) YouTube clip?

YouTube is also a worse choice if you want offline access, such as on an airplane or when camping
NewPipe (from fdroid repositories) can play audio from YouTube while the screen is off.

There are many sleep videos which have a dark screen for this reason, you can add "dark screen" to the search terms and see the choices. Although it's not quite the same as having the screen off, it's close enough in my experience.
But it turns out that slowing down white noise on Google does change it noticeably. Speeding it up does not.
Someone smarter than me could probably infer some things about how YouTube implements speed shifting from that.
Discovering new white noises? Washing machine, hair dryer, forest, see, bar, wind, workplace noises?
For work, I could see that I would like to experiment with different variations of white noise sounds, and see which one helps me the most to concentrate. I'll try out this podcast on Monday.
Those are noise, but not white noise. White noise has all frequencies at equal intensity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise
This is like how white light has all frequencies of (visible) light. There are other "colours" of noise too, like pink noise and blue noise, that have different mixes of frequencies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise
My sloppiness came from the fact that, as I have seen, in the YouTube noise video world, 95% of the videos have the "white" label in the title, even if they aren't technically white.
