I agree with your comments below. Additionally, I also use the Downcast app to listen to audio books in addition to podcasts. However just because I may not like a new app or a new app doesn't have a feature I want or like, I won't call it stupid, or anything like that.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I find the regular speed to
be mind numbingly slow and boring. Even Apple's version of fast playback for
their podcasts and audiobooks is still slow to my ears. This is why I'm
probably still going to stick with Downcast since they offer the fastest
playback speed at 3 x.

I've even written the Downcast guy requesting a faster playback speed in
future releases to which he said that he'd take it into consideration.

Calling this feature redundant and stupid seems rather harsh and
unwarrented. Besides, if one feels that they may have missed something, they
can just go back to the normal playback speed or press the all powerful
rewind button.

I listen to as many podcasts of tv shows as I can so I can bang them out in
a faster time and actually prefer to listen to them this way because I can
speed them up as opposed to having to listen to it at normal speed on the
tv. Kind of like DVR on crack without the video. Really quite convenient.
