Maybe this will be unpopular, but I feel like speeding up podcasts is really disrespectful to the creator. It'd be incredibly rude to tell someone in real life that they're talking too slow, and in my opinion this is the same thing. Podcasts don't need to be so transactional.

> in my opinion this is the same thing

It definitely isn't the same thing. I kinda understand why you think that way, but it's pretty much completely illogical (see avoiding ever skim reading anything written by someone, or never fast forwarding any filmed media where a person is speaking).
