First world problem – I usually listen to podcasts on the iOS podcast app. The EconTalk archives on that app go back to 2015, a lot of the recommended episodes are older.
I can download episodes in my iPhone browser, but the in-browser player only plays at 1x. Turns out I can’t stand listening to podcast audio at 1x anymore (needs to be at least 1.5x to be palatable).
Any thoughts about how to access old episodes at high playback speeds on an iPhone?
Not sure about iTunes/iOS; probably I’d need to submit the podcast to Apple for approval which I don’t have enough permission to do :) Maybe there are non-Apple-protected apps? Or switch to Android.
I had this same problem and finally cracked it (navigating the iOS podcast world stumps me).
Step 1: In iOS podcast app, tap “search” in lower right and enter “econtalk”
Step 2: The app populates the archives going back to 2006, tap on the year you’re looking for, such as 2007 and scroll for “Weingast on Violence, Power and a Theory of Everything.”
Step 3: Tap the three dots to upper right of episode and choose “Download Episode.”
Step 5: Repeat for all the other archived episodes you want.
Step 6: Now for the trick- to locate your downloaded episodes, go to the app’s main menu and tap “My Podcasts” at the bottom. Disregard the first appearance of “EconTalk,” and instead scroll down past all of the podcasts that you subscribe to. The archived talks you’ve downloaded will appear close to the bottom, aggregated by year.
Painful. I’m sure there’s a smarter way to do it, maybe Dominik’s suggestion below, but this should work for you.

From the post:
“To get the old ones you need to subscribe to their archive feeds for previous years: 2006: For iTunes. Or, add this feed. Etc...”
I’ve made a feed with Wiblin’s top 10 episodes for easy importing into podcast apps.

Looks cool, but I wasn’t able to figure out how to use this after 5 minutes of trying. Have a little guidance?
