Apple's New Podcasts Web App: Listen Anywhere, Anytime

For those who thrive on having a podcast playing while tackling their to-do list, here's a quick but noteworthy update that's sure to brighten your day. Apple has just made it easier to tune in from anywhere, and if you're all about convenience, this is one you'll want to check out.


Apple has just launched a web app for its Podcasts platform, and you can dive into it right now at podcasts.apple.com. According to MacRumors, the app works across major browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. So, whether you're on your PC at work or using your favorite browser at home, the experience should be smooth sailing.

If you're already using the Podcasts app on a Mac or iOS device, the web version will feel like home. It's got all the usual suspects—there's a Browse tab where you can explore featured podcasts, a Home tab to keep up with your regular shows or see what Apple suggests for you, and a Top Charts section to catch up on what's trending. Essentially, it's the Podcasts app you know and love, just now with the added convenience of being web-based.

Signing in with your Apple account pulls in all the shows you follow on your iPhone, so you don't have to go searching for them again. However, a quick heads-up for those who like to speed through their episodes—there doesn't seem to be an option to adjust playback speed on the web app just yet. A bit of a bummer for the 2x playback fans, but hey, it's a solid start.

This new Podcasts web app comes right after the launch of Apple Maps as a web app last month. It seems Apple is on a bit of a roll with their web offerings, which also include Apple Music and Apple TV. So, if you're someone who enjoys having easy access to Apple services on any device, this new addition is definitely a win.
