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

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
