Podcast playback faster than 1x speed on iPod

Podcast playback faster than 1x speed on iPod

I listen to several MP3-based podcasts on my 3rd Generation iPod Nano and many of them are in a pure talk radio format (mostly talking, generally no/little music). I've been trying to find a way to speed up the playback of the podcasts. I know for audiobooks you can choose to have them played back faster, but I don't want to have to deal with converting every downloaded podcast over to an audiobook before syncing it to the iPod. I've also seen this question about speeding it up in iTunes, but I'm looking for speeding it up no matter where I'm listening to it.

Although jjeaton's answer didn't give me all that I needed, it did point me in a great direction. I wrote up a blog post about it, but the gist of it is that I ended up using SOX and Powershell to automate the process. Read the blog post for more details about it.
