Why are my podcasts playing back slowly? People sound drunk or spacey even as you can tell what they are saying. It’s like there is a slow forward instead of a fast forward. Problem is new today. All podcasts, including shows downloaded before the last time I listened to podcasts.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Hello mgmeme,

Based on the article above "Use Apple Podcasts on your iPhone or iPad" you can adjust the playback speed by tapping the playback speed button and choosing a speed: Half speed, normal speed normal, one and a half speed, or double speed.

The speed adjustment is not new its been there since I had my first iPhone 10+ years ago.
Many thanks. I found it by accident. Is it new? I must’ve bumped it, but had never noticed it before.
mgmeme,
Yes it's a new feature that was part of the new operating system. Enjoy!
Take care!
Podcast playback is slow
