How to Speed Up or Slow Down Podcast Speed on iPhone and iPad
Step #1. Launch Podcasts app on your iOS device. Step #2. Play any podcast as usual → Tap on Podcast Name. Step #3. Now, you have three options–
1x – It is set as the default playback speed5x – It allows podcast to play 50% faster. I find it more convenient as it not just keeps the speed at a normal level but also maintains pretty good pitch and sound which can easily be understood2x – It doubles the playback speed. It becomes very useful especially in a situation when you want to listen to any episode fast. The only disadvantage of it is that it changes the tone and pitch of voices
In order to increase the speed by 50%, tap on the 1x button once. If you want to double the playback speed of the podcast, simply tap the 1x button twice. To slow down the podcast, just tap on the speed button. If the speed is doubled, tap on it once to get down to 1/2x. Tap on it again to go back to the default speed. Wrapping Up I find Podcasts app very useful as it’s easy-to-use. However, there are a number of third-party alternatives which offer better user-experience.
