Increase playback speed of podcasts downloaded to Apple Watch

[johnpabstjr]

I listen to podcasts and audiobooks at 1.5x to 2x speed. I recently got an Apple Watch Ultra 2 so I could leave my iPhone at when out for walks, etc. I downloaded several podcast episodes to my watch but could only listen to them at 1x speed when away from my iPhone. This is unusable for me as I am accustomed to a higher playback speed. 
Please add the ability on the Apple Watch app to increase the playback speed when not connected to an iPhone.

Hey Spotify PMs - I will churn and switch to Apple Music specifically because of this bug. Playback speed is a foundational feature for an audio player and you can’t just not build it on one platform. The Spotify app on Apple Watch is unusable for me without this feature. It just cost you a customer.
