How can I playback podcast at faster than 2X?

After years or listening at 2X, there are many podcasts for which this speed is not enough. I need to listen at 2.5X and 3X speed.

How do I do this?

Apple Podcast fast forward When double clicking using Apple wired headphones to fast forward a Podcast, it now remains at 2x speed instead of reverting to normal 1x listening speed. This necessitates going into the podcast app to change speed to 1x normal speed. Is this a new “feature” in the Podcast app?

Podcast headphone control When using headphone double click to fast forward, the podcast playback speed remains at 2x speed instead of returning to normal playback speed. I have to go to the podcast on the phone to return the podcast to normal speed. This change occurred with iOS 17 update. Anyone else experiencing this?

Podcasts not appearing in Listen Now, but visible in Latest Episodes This issue is affecting my experience as a long time Apple user. The original Podcast app (one key reason for using Apple) was more robust than the current app sharing a code base across IOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, and macOS Sonoma 14.1. I am having to check Latest Episodes to find out if there are podcasts to listen to, instead of Listen Now, as the podcasts are not synchronised between these two views. It never used to be like that and the quality of experience has regressed. I hope someone takes a look at this app, and fixes this issue. Right now, I prefer to use the podcast app on my old iPad Air running 15.6 as it is more consistent and reliable.

This is what keeps me on Spotify most of the time since I can go for quicker speeds also you can choose up to 0.1 notch at a time versus 0.5 notch at a time. I wish Apple Podcasts would do this as well.
