Which one do you use? I’m an Overcast person.

@martinfeld I’m currently using Pocketcasts, which works quite well for Android. I actually wish I could try Overcast though — I’m an avid listener of ATP and Under the Radar so I’m up to speed with the latest changes even though I’m not a user.

Do you have an iPad or a Mac with an M1 chip? You could try it on such devices. 🙂

@martinfeld Actually I do have an iPad. So yeah I should give it a try there.

@martinfeld I imagine this is due those two being the only player/platforms that have the ability to leave reviews?

@Burk Yes, that’s a great point, Jason.

@Burk @martinfeld Ah, that’s a good point. I didn’t consider that, that does make some sense.

I probably should have put this in the original post, but I guess my gripe is more towards links that the podcasters post on the socials, such as Twitter. I saw one for a podcast that I wanted to listen to but they only had links to Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and not to their feed or website so I couldn’t easily subscribe in Pocketcasts.

@Burk @martinfeld Our Hemispheric Views website has a bajillion customised links for all the podcast apps.

Will be interested to know how you like it. It’s queue management is so different than Pocket Casts.

@canion Yeah, that’s exactly the way to do it: post a link to that page on the socials, so that listeners can follow the relevant link for their particular app (plus, already a subscriber to Hemispheric Views 🙌).

@mcg Yeah, I’ve heard a bit about it and it sounds interesting. Might be a good idea for a blog post after a try.

The “find us on…” messaging has little to do with podcast players and everything to do with who aggregates podcast listings and offers a review system. Apple was the only one you’d hear about for years until advertising began in earnest and companies like Spotify started buying their way into the ecosystem.
