what's up Applewhite nation Brian song here and I gotta say the number one question a lot of you guys and gals asked me specifically about the Apple watch is how do I play podcasts on my Apple watch and the answer isn't as easy as you think Apple yeah they have their own podcast app through iOS or you know you can get podcasts through the iTunes app but there's no way to directly get them onto your Apple watch because Apple doesn't have a podcast app for the Apple watch believe that yeah it's true so we've seen a few apps out there I met they're limited because of apples restrictions on third-party developers but really the one that just dropped and is really worth checking out is called outcast now it's $0.99 and really what makes it special is that you can use your Apple watch Series three LTE or Wi-Fi connection either one and directly download podcasts to this watch so let's just kind of take a look at the app again it's only $0.99 and what's kind of cool is they give you two audio files that explain how the app works so you can always listen to those but let's go into the search mode you can just here add an actual podcast type in the name of it you know I'm a big Warriors fan so I got a shoal of lawyers plus - I see you athletic alright but we check this out we go in you can search for any podcast it pulls from a database then you can directly download it to your watch here's another tip disconnect or turn off the Bluetooth on your phone because it actually will download faster directly through LTE or Wi-Fi otherwise if your phone is paired to it it's gonna do a Bluetooth transfer which is extremely slow so that's just something you should be aware about it now after that point all you have to do is you cannot play the podcast directly through the watch you actually have to use headphones so whether there are air pods or Fitness headphones sync them get them paired and that's how you listen to the actual podcast one of the caveats I talked about is how Apple restricts third-party app developers from having full access to everything on the Apple watch so this might seem a little wonky it's not that bad but it's the only way to go around this once you play a podcast you'll need to go to the now plane or the music player here and to change the volume level you can only do it from here you can see I'm changing the volume level the podcast is getting louder in my ear this is the only place you can do it you'll see like a majorly our song here in the cute it has nothing to do with this you just need to focus on the volume control here and then you can go back to outcast and there you go if you're someone who likes to listen these things on the go when you're working out it's a great app to check out you can change the colors the look you can even skip around the podcast by five-second durations one minute and thirty you can jump around and this is really the best podcast app solely dedicated for your Apple watch and you guys gotta check it out
