Podcast playback is slow

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.

Hello mgmeme,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you have a question about your Podcasts. We would be happy to help!


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.


Cheers!
