Podcast platforms: iTunes (Apple Podcasts), Google Play, and Spotify

There are three major platforms where you can listen to podcasts:

  • iTunes
  • Google Play
  • Spotify

Let’s start with iTunes.

iTunes (now Apple Podcasts)

How to open the Apple Podcasts app (formerly iTunes) on your iPhone or Apple device

If you have an Apple phone or computer, you’ll want to use this. First, open up iTunes. If you’re on a phone or tablet, look for the Podcasts app. From here, you can either browse through categories or search for a specific podcast. Let’s search for Stay Paid.

And that’s it. Once an episode is published, you’ll be able to listen right away.


Google Play

Let’s do the same thing for Google Play. If you have an Android phone or tablet—like a Samsung or HTC—you’ll want to use this.
