82: Pocket Casts: Best Podcast Player in the World?

from Fresh Fusion · host Jared White

Hello my friend! Are you enjoying this podcast? You can now support the show and share your appreciation with ☕️ Buy Me a Coffee! In this episode I take a deep dive into (my) history of playing podcasts over the decades, and how I eventually arrived at using Pocket Casts as my preferred podcast player of choice. Pocket Casts is chock-full of great features, not the least of which is support for playing videos (apparently not a universal feature of third-party podcast players). Listen to how I use Pocket Casts from day-to-day, as well as my thoughts on the UI design of this multi-platform (and now partially open source!) software. CORRECTION: in the episode I talked about Nebula offering RSS feeds for their video channels, but unfortunately these are just standard “news” feeds to let people know about new releases. They are not true video podcasts (aka you can’t subscribe to them in your own podcast player). Bummer!
