I use PocketCast to listen to podcasts. On the PocketCast app I set playback speed to 2x. But when I connect it to Sonos it only plays back at regular speed. How can I make the Sonos play it back at a faster speed?

+1 how is this extremely basic feature not available?

I shouldn't have to walk around my house playing podcasts on my phone's speaker when I have $2000 worth of Sonos speakers throughout the place.

Please add this feature. Sort of shocking to believe this isn’t available in the year of our lord 2021.

returning my Sonos order with a volume of 3000€ because this feature is not available but an absolute must.

I dont even understand how this is possibly not available - my 5€ bluetooth box can do this.

Adding my support for this request. I am very disappointed that I cannot listen to podcasts through my Sonos system. I have relied on PocketCast for years for podcasting, and listening to them without playback speed increased just isn’t going to happen.

It's ridiculous that you still don't have this. Seriously regretting my Sonos One purchase just based on the obvious user features you've declined to implement.

+1 for this. I've got used to listening to podcasts at 1.5 speed sonos sounds like everyone is in a slow time warp. Please allow varied speed. Google cast capability would solve this too.
