Listen Faster Through Your Podcast App
The Podcasts app on your iPhone and other podcast apps allow you to listen to the show at different speeds. Want to hear all two hours but in less time? On the Podcasts app when you are playing an episode, you will see in the controls for managing the episode (where you see the play button, fast forward, rewind and how much of the episode has played, etc) on the left side there is a 1X. Click the 1X to listen at 1.5X, 2X or .5X. Our listeners who speed through the show prefer 1.5X. The show you love in less time. But make it extra fast or super slow for hilarious fun.
