YouTube has introduced massive quality-of-life updates for podcast listeners with Premium.

​The new "Auto speed" feature intelligently speeds up or slows down playback based on the pace and density of the speech. Additionally, an "On-the-go" mode provides a stripped-down, audio-centric interface for easier lock-screen navigation.
