Can't 2x speed my Podcasts in iPod w/iOs 6

Hi all --


Since the new, separate Podcasts feature was added to iOs 6, I can no longer play back Podcasts at 2x normal speed on my iPod Touch (4th G).


Anyone else experiencing this problem, and does anyone have a fix?


Thanks

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6, Podcasts 2x speed playback

I am experiencing this problem and have no solution but revolution.


I have a 3rd gen iPad and am mourning the loss of such a great, time-saving feature. Having control over the podcast playback speed allowed me to listen to so much more content during those precious moments when listening to podcasts is possible.


Variable speed podcast playback needs to come back.


I'm with you, Lord John.

Phew! Apple kept the variable speed playback feature. It's just not readily seen. I don't know if the iPod will have a similar setup, but on the iPad, you can get to the playback speed button by swiping your finger up from the bottom of the podcast album art. You should see a little, dark tab there. It reveals a screen underneath that looks like an old fashioned two-roll tape player.
