OMG IS THIS GOING TO BE A PUBLIC RADIO APP NOW?! Going forward our aim is to make it better, like we always have, year in, year out. No, today nothing about the app is changing. OMG ARE YOU TOTALLY GOING TO RUIN THE APP AND MAKE US HATE YOU?! The app is beautifully designed, fast, and works wonderfully across iOS, Android, and the web for people with multiple devices running a mix of software. Everyone’s got their favorite way of listening, which is why show hosts have basically taken to just saying something to the effect of “available wherever you get your podcasts.”įor those of us who’ve used and enjoyed Pocket Casts, this should be good news and points to a promising future. Separate from that, you’ve got excellent options like Overcast on iOS and other apps from smaller developers. Apple has its own hugely popular Podcasts app for iOS, Spotify is trying to get people listening to them inside its streaming music app, and Google also offers podcasts as part of Google Play Music. The move comes as more and more tech companies are trying to serve as the central destination for podcasts. That team of stations and podcast producers are responsible for some of the format’s biggest hits like This American Life (duh), Serial, Radiolab, and Planet Money. “This unprecedented collaboration furthers public radio’s leading role as an innovator in audio discovery and distribution, while ensuring the continued support and growth of one of the most popular listening platforms on the market,” the companies said in a press release announcing the news.
Pocket Casts, widely considered to be one of the best mobile apps for podcast listening, has been acquired by a collective group that includes NPR, WNYC Studios, WBEZ Chicago, and This American Life.
