Downloaded and played with it a bit. Nice work on the app. Ability to adjust playback speed is a MUST HAVE for me.

@slackerini hi John, thanks for the kind words. We decided to launch with a bare bones player and really focus on the social aspects. As we go, we'll be adding in a more full-featured player with variable playback, queues, etc.

@slackerini I agree with offering different playback speeds

@slackerini we released a new version of the app with variable playback speed. Would really love if you'd try the app again and share your thoughts.
@adamontherun being a podcatcher can be dismissed by some as "being a feature not a product". How would you counteract Apple liking some of your features and implementing them?

@tapefinder Apple has proved great at making the best devices in the world with some solid apps. but when it comes to social, they haven't fared as well. As our core offering is social, this one doesn't have me too worried.
Google Ventures did a design sprint with Gimlet media exploring a similar idea. They posted a video about it which might have some insights you can learn from. http://youtu.be/iqGLrMjBLZ4

@ianmikutel thanks Ian, I remember Alex talking about this exercise in an episode of Startup, but didn't remember they played around with the idea of hosts posting content in app and users replying. I'll have to let them know they can try Remarks.
