I get this question\u00a0all the time\u00a0<\/em>from friends, family, and readers: “How DO you listen to a podcast? How do you subscribe to a podcast? I want to do the podcast thing, but I have no idea how!” This post will break down exactly how to listen and subscribe to a podcast… and even how to leave a review for your favorite podcasts!<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I just got back from Anaheim, California where I was last week attending the Podcast Movement conference! It was an AMAZING conference and I loved learning from so many awesome speakers and fellow podcasters in the industry. While I worked in radio for a few years and have voiceover and recording experience, I just launched my own podcast<\/a> a year ago! Since I am a bit of a podcast junkie and listen to and subscribe to so many podcasts, I often take for granted the fact that not *everyone* is into podcasts and not *everyone* even knows *HOW* to listen or to subscribe to a podcast! In fact, I get asked many times a week “How do you listen to and subscribe to a podcast?!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So, I thought it would be helpful for those of you who are new to podcasts (or haven’t listened to a podcast ever!<\/em>) to share the basics of HOW you can listen to a podcast, the best places to subscribe, and even how to leave a review (which podcasters LOVE and appreciate!)<\/em><\/p>\n

How to subscribe to a podcast on an iPhone \/ iPad:<\/h3>\n

The iTunes Podcast App:<\/strong> The easiest (and honestly, the best) way to subscribe to a podcast on an iPhone is through the Podcasts app on your iPhone \/ iPad. It’s a little purple app that already exists on your device. You just open it up, search for the podcast you want to listen to (or look at the charts)\u00a0<\/em>and boom! You’re good to go. SUPER easy to use! You can subscribe to MY podcast, Business with Purpose, on iTunes by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is FREE.<\/p>\n

How to subscribe to a podcast on an Android \/ Google device:<\/h3>\n

Let me just say, if anyone from Google is reading this – Y’ALL NEED TO MAKE A NATIVE PODCAST APP.<\/strong> Come on, y’all. What gives? It’s 2017. Create a native podcast app on Android devices. It’s time. (It’s been time for quite some time<\/em>).<\/p>\n

ANYWAY. Moving on. If you have an Android device, the BEST way to subscribe to a podcast on Android is to go to THIS website that is literally called Subscribe on Android<\/a>. \u00a0There are links to Android podcast apps that you can download right to your device. So, a little bit of an extra step (beyond what you can do on an Apple device),\u00a0<\/em>but it’s still super easy.<\/p>\n

Google Play is Google’s main “music and podcast app” for Android devices.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Also, this is FREE.<\/p>\n
