In this quick episode, we take a step back to appreciate how much podcast listening apps have improved and why that’s such a win for listeners and independent podcasters.
Updates from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Overcast, and Fountain, had three big themes:
- Discoverability: making it easier to find new shows you’ll actually want to listen to
- Interactivity: likes, comments, and recommendations that help great episodes spread
- Quality of life: smarter playback controls, enhanced dialogue, chapters, and fewer accidental taps
It feels like podcast apps are finally competing on listening experience and we think that’s a really good sign for the future of podcasting!
Don't forget to send in your tips as we start planning an episode on how to start a podcast in 2026. If there’s something you wish you’d known when you started, send it our way!
