A free year of Pocket Casts Plus

· By · 1.9 minutes to read

Pocket Casts is one of the most popular podcast apps for good reason. It’s designed brilliantly; it’s easy to use; and it has curated lists by some of the biggest names in podcasting, helping listeners discover more new shows.

It offers powerful features like filters, an up-next queue, support for smart speakers, silence-skipping and volume boosting.

And it also has three great features from Podcasting 2.0, making podcasting better:

  • Your new shows appear instantly, the minute you publish them, thanks to technology called “podping”. Podping is supported by large podcast hosts like Buzzsprout, Captivate, Transistor, RSS.com, Spreaker and Blubrry - letting Pocket Casts know as soon as you publish.
  • Your chapters are better with Pocket Casts, because it supports the new enhanced chapters format. Supported by podcast hosts like Buzzsprout, RSS.com, Blubrry and Transistor, it means chapters can be continually enhanced with new information, without fiddling with audio files.
  • And now, transcripts are supported by Pocket Casts. Your show’s transcripts, produced by you, are now visible in the app: making it easier to search through a podcast for that thing you wanted to hear again. Transcripts are supported by many of the largest podcast hosts, including RSS.com, Blubrry, Buzzsprout, Ausha and Spreaker. (If your podcast host doesn’t offer free transcripts, get some here.)
