Podcasts | How I listen
I listen to most podcasts on my phone while commuting, cycling, or walking. I use the app Pocket Casts which has iOS, Android versions. Your feed list, listened/archived and current episode listen progress is stored in the cloud, synchronised to each device, and for the Plus version I purchased, desktop apps & browser sessions. It is great to log into any device and have your podcasts there ready to go.
The best podcast listening accessory are my, recently acquired, Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones. Awesome to hear podcasts without being cut off from the world, especially when biking or walking, best of both!
I stack up the playlist manually for those podcasts where I don't listen to every episode. My favourite podcasts are set to auto-download and 'Play Next" so they jump the manual queue to be heard when fresh. It means the optional ones take a bit of time to hear but they are usually not topical.
Podcasts in my feed
I can’t share my actual podcast feed as it has subscription details embedded but these are the podcasts I actively listen to now or in my feed as have listened to over the years. Obviously, I don’t hear every episode of all of these, and some are now dormant but there in the hope they come back!
(To make this list I exported the feed list from Pocket Casts to OPML, opened it with Excel (it's an xml format), split to delimited columns and copied the title list and this is here so I know!)
