Volume 47 · Kevin O’KeefeRecommended podcast platforms
Kevin O’Keefe asks: Hi again, Gary. Another question, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this. First, what podcast platform do you recommend we use? I’ve heard that you listen to other podcasts as well. Where do you listen to podcasts?. Apple is clearly the market leader, but I don’t think it’s made its own platform any better, and it doesn’t seem to be a priority. The search feature in Apple is horrible. Have you found others better?
I went and checked my analytics, and here is the breakdown of which apps people are using to listen to the podcast over the last month:
Beyond that, 500 different apps are where people listen to the show.
Personally, I do not care what you use to listen to the show. For me, it is all the same. I use Apple Podcasts to listen to podcasts, but not because I think it’s the best; I just started using it when I got an iPhone.
Likewise, some people use Spotify because it is what they use to listen to music.
There are many 3rd-party podcast apps out there, and they depend on your operating system and phone. From reports I’ve heard, many of them, like Overcast, are better than Apple or Spotify.
I will say that even though Apple Podcasts is the most popular app, Apple limits it to 2000 episodes. So, if you are trying to join the completionist club, over 300 episodes, as of the time of this recording, won’t be accessible.
On the website, I’ve been embedding episodes from Spotify for those first 300 episodes so people can access them.
