This would be a killer feature for a podcast app. I can't stomach NPR content unless it's sped up to almost 2x, with the exception of a few fast talking hosts.

It's pretty jarring to me how slooooow my regular podcasts sound when I accidentally play them at 1x. They're shockingly hard to listen to. Occasionally I'll want to share a bit from a show with somebody else, and when I play it at 1x I worry the hosts have had a stroke.
Aside: I play most of my podcasts in VLC. A killer feature there would be per-podcast default speeds. Some shows have hosts with unfamiliar accents and I have to play them slower than shows with accents I'm more used to. I change it manually per-play, but that would sure be a nice preference. (Probably a violently too-specific feature for a general media player like VLC.)
Overcast has per-podcast default speeds.
I'll check it out. Thanks.
Be comforted by the fact that most somebody elses listen to humans talk at 1x speed.
