Yes, it does. It's got the same features that were present when the podcasts section was included in the music app. Similar to the audiobooks section as well. You've got to be playing the actual file to be able to click on button to access the additional playback speed features. I don't use this app and didn't use the podcastign or audiobook feature so can't recall where you're exactly supposed to click, but it is there. Maybe artwork or something. That said, the playback speed options are so limiting and really not all that, that you're not missing much if you do in fact want to speed up the rate of playback. You'd be better off with one of the more feature rich podcasting apps like Downcast or iCatcher if this were the case.
The Apple podcast app is fine and completely accessible, but is pretty basic.
