podcasts the shows you listen to say a lot about us from serial and this American life to the Nerdist WTF and savage love if you've got time to listen it for the commute to work or to make your gym workout go by a little bit faster there's a podcast for you but how you listen makes all the difference when it comes to enjoying podcast as a whole the simple truth is that Apple's built-in app just isn't very good and Android doesn't even come with its own podcast app good podcast apps make it easy to find new shows keep track of every episode and make listening effortless thankfully the App Store and Google Play have you covered if you've got an iPhone or iPad the best podcast app is overcast overcast is a clean straight or design that's easy to use but more importantly it's got some really nice features that focus on listening smart speed gets rid of silent moments and dead air in your podcasts and that cuts down on the overall playback time more than you'd expect and if you're the type who likes listened shows sped up overcast as the most natural sounding results and voice boost normalizes the volume when both ends the podcast so no one here is gonna be too loud or too quiet overcast also has a basic web version if you absolutely have to catch that latest episode and it lets you pick up where you left off on your phone the one downside to overcast is you can't stream shows on the fly every episode has to be downloaded in advance there are other apps down Castro Castro that do offer streaming but you won't find it with overcast if it argue that Castro is a bold more colorful design but overcast still is the best package of features and simplicity on Android the best podcast app is pocket casts it's a full-featured a powerful player that makes it dead simple to find new shoes set up automatic downloads or make playlists of shows you haven't heard yet podcasts is also available on iOS at 6 podcasts across Android and iOS so if you have two phones or say an Android phone and an iPad that's probably your best option but the standout feature of pocket pass is definitely its design the app looks great it's got fluid animations and it changes colors based on your podcasts artwork overcast may pack in more features but pocket cast is way nicer looking just like an iOS there are more options pot kicker dog catcher and podcast addict all do the job but none have quite the same appeal as podcast if you want day best Android podcast app it's podcasts so do yourself a favor and stop listening Apple's podcasts app or searching Google Play for the best way to listen to wait wait don't tell me overcast and pocket casts are the two best thought past apps out there and best of all they make it fun finding shows that are worthless you
