[Podcasts] Adjust Audio Speed of Podcasts (1.5x or 2x)

[pduffy]

I have just discovered podcasts in the Spotify mobile app and as an avid podast fan I'm delighted to finally see this feature!

I would love to be able to alter the speed of a podcast, to play at 1.5X or 2X the default speed as per the default apple podcast app I currently use.

As many podcasts I listen to are very long (up to 2 hours), until such time as the playback speed can be altered I will use the apple podcast app to listen to podcasts.

YES PLEASE. 

This would mean I could exclusively use Spotify instead of Spotify, Soundcloud, Podcasts App, etc.

I am in a premium trial for Spotify and was looking into podcast playing faster, unfortunately without this option Spotify will not meet my needs.

Is there and update on plans to add this feature?

Not only for podcasts, but for musics in general that'd be a great addition to spotify.

Please, podcasts are unlistenable at 1x. Would love to use Spotify for podcasts but will go elsewhere until this feature is added.

This feature is offered through Apple podcasts and quite frankly would only help your services and please your customers

This is a huge feature that is preventing me from using Spotify as my primary podcast app.  Please reconsider.

I agree that this would be a great feature. I also listen to longer podcasts, and would love to be able to speed it up.

[bruxomania]

I think this would be a great feature, even with music.

[Mhaynie]

Spotify needs this feature to be relevant.

I am musican and I need this feature to slowdown the music and practice with the song
