I'm not familiar with podcasts. Where can i find these?
This is a joke right, you're waiting for someone to tell you to "Google it?"
Well done.
+1 for Google recently killing their podcast app.
Do you have an iPhone or an Android device? Folks usually access them on phones! They’re just basically audio stories, fictional or nonfiction, informational or INCREDIBLY STUPID, but hilarious.
If that sounds fun, I can recommend some things!
Please do
I’d you’re on Android, you have an app called Android Podcasts. If you’re on an iPhone, I highly recommend the free app Overcast because it’s infinitely better than Apple Podcasts.
What kinda stuff are you interested in? My podcast list is mostly comprised of non-annoying true crime, interesting tech stuff, and the dumbest comedy garbage I’ve ever heard (and I very much love how dumb it is.)
Never heard of that. There's Google Podcasts, but Google discontinued it recently. I'd personally recommend AntennaPod, but there's other alternatives as well.
+1 for AntennaPod!
Thank you! I was misinformed. I had the first two android phones but switched to iPhones after my partner got theirs, and because phones stopped having physical keyboards, I hated the way Android typed. It’s better now but with a stock system I’m more into privacy now. I’ll keep AntennaPod in mind for reccos in the future!
Hmm interesting, I use Apple Podcasts and have no issues with the app. What does Overcast do better in your opinion?
I loved Apple Podcasts until a few years (maybe almost a decade ago..) when they really wonked up the interface. I tried a couple different applications, but ended up on Overcast. It has a fantastic interface and gosh darn LOUDNESS EQUALIZATION (“Voice Boost”, they calls it) so podcasts that have both quiet and loud parts or aren’t mastered well are actually listenable in like, a car.
I’ve seen Apple podcats recently and it got better! But I still think overcast is vastly superior.
I see. Thanks for the details!
There's a lot of places to listen to them. I just search "search engine podcast" and a bunch of places show up.
