Just native Podcasts it belongs to a very well-crafted application, which also works perfectly on iPhone, Mac, iPad or Apple Watch. However, there are also those who expect a little more from the application to listen to their favorite podcasters, and the following lines are intended for these users.

Spotify

Few people don't know about the most popular music streaming service, yet many don't know that Spotify can also be used to listen to podcasts. In order to be able to follow individual creators, it is necessary to pay a monthly subscription to Spotify Premium, where you can choose from tariffs for one, two or six people, or activate a subscription for students. It is true that compared to Apple Podcasts, those on Spotify are a little less clear and certainly offer far fewer functions. For example, searching for individual episodes and remembering where you just left off is thankfully not missing. The advantage is that you have both music and podcasts together in one application. In addition, you can install Spotify on both iPhone and iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, some smart TVs and speakers.
