Pocket Casts acquired by NPR

I love Pocket Casts! Here are my top feature requests (I’m on iOS so some of these features may exist already on other platforms)

- Let me search within a podcast (search titles as well as descriptions). I just found out about Planet Money but it has nearly 1000 episodes. The internet can help be find highly recommended episodes, but there’s no easy way to jump to these in the app.

- please let me set playback speed.

I also have a faint hope that this acquisition would allow Pocket Casts to go open source.

It took me about a year or so before I found this functionality. No idea why it's not with the rest of the settings but heyho

Play a podcast episode and tap on the "now playing" bar to open up this screen http://i.imgsir.com/1OMb.jpg

The settings are hiding here http://i.imgsir.com/GZAL.jpg

The playback speed is a feature in the Android version (pretty much the deal breaker with other podcast apps for me) so hopefully that's in progress for the iOS one too.

There's an option to set playback speed on iOS as well. It's there in the bottom left corner of Now Playing screen.
