Playback speed on podcast basis

[MariaAlmeida]

Hi.

I am a heavy podcast listener but I listen to them in different languages.

For me it is easy to listen to portuguese content in 1.5 but the spanish sweet spot is 1.2.
Even not considering the language there are hosts and podcast specific subjects that I can listen in 1.5-1.6 but others I need to decrease.

I find it would be helpful to have a podcast specific speed time configuration. Like a metadata for that podcast in my account and it changes to my configured speed time if set, otherwise use my account's default.

Is this a feature that is planned to happen or that you would find interesting to implement?

Best regards,

A platform's happy user

If different speakers in a podcast have different speaking speeds and you adjust the speed during playback, one speaker appears too fast or too slow, which hinders the listening experience. It would be desirable if the speaking speed could be adjusted for each person. Alternatively, standardization of the number of words per minute could also serve as a setting.

To be honest I am not that concerned about that. From my experience if it is a specific topic + languange podcast I can follow through on the discussion. However I might like to listen to The Daily Podcast in 1.5 because its news and Darknet Diaries in 1.1 because it is more technical and harder to grasp. My suggestion was to have the speed as a podcast basis and not as an account configuration.
