YouTube is rolling out new Premium features aimed at podcast listeners. An auto-speed option is available on Android and will come to iOS soon, adjusting playback speed during slower speech and information-dense moments. Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers in select countries can use Ask Music in the YouTube Music app, which generates personalized radio stations or playlists and now includes podcast recommendations based on mood, genre, or shows already enjoyed. Premium users on Android also get an on-the-go mode that provides easier access to listening controls for videos playing in the background, including skip back and forward. iOS support is planned for the coming months.
