Playing Podcasts on your Computer:
The most obvious way to listen to a podcast is to play it directly through that podcast's website on your computer. Most Podcasts have a play function directly on their episode pages. Navigate to the podcast page, look for the play button, and listen. As long as you have speakers or headphones connected up, this is an easy method. Of course, the disadvantage is that you're stuck sitting in front of your computer, which can be a bit of a chore when it's an hour-long show. But, if it's a short episode, or you can play the podcast through your PC speakers while doing something else around the house, then it can be a quick and reliable.
Listening to Podcasts on your Smartphone:
The most convenient way to listen to a podcast is through a mobile device. There are a range of devices that can do it. First off, if you have a smartphone, you have an ideal podcast listening platform right in your pocket. Use the Apple Podcasts app if you're on an iPhone or and Ipod - it's on there already, just search for the little purple icon. Otherwise, if you're on Android or Windows, download podcast app. Then, subscribe to a show in there, and away you go.
How to Listen to Podcasts in the Car:
The car is the most common place to listen to a podcast. It makes sense - it was always a big radio listening space, and Podcasting is the new radio.
But, how do you listen to a podcast in the car? First is via Bluetooth connection. Most modern cars are set up to connect to your phone so that you can make hands-free calls. That same connection can also play audio from your phone. So, connect via Bluetooth as normal, and then play something from your Podcast app. Does it play over the speakers? Great!
How Do I Subscribe to a Podcast?
Subscribing is where the power of podcasting really kicks in. When you subscribe, shows start automatically coming to you. Next time you load up your app, the latest episodes are all there, ready to listen to. It's amazing! If you're listening on your computer, then the easiest way to subscribe is through the iTunes app. It's available for Mac or PC. If you're on your smartphone, then simply use your mobile listening app. The Apple Podcasts app on iPhone allows you to subscribe, super easily, and the other types of phone have similar apps.
