Many years ago I was working part time in the Apple mini store in the Galleria. That place is long gone replace by the huge store they have now. Back in those days all we had were iPods, these thick single use devices that only could play music. Some customer of mine mentioned these things called podcasts, he explained them as radio shows but much cooler. The downside is you needed special software to download the episodes, then transfer to iTune and then load to your iPod. While it sounds like an easy process it often failed.
I was hooked. I listened to Earth Core, a sci fi novel which featured one chapter per week. Back in 2005 this was so cutting edge.
Fast forward many years later and podcasts are as common as a first grader with the latest iPhone. Listening to these shows is super easy, all you need is Spotify or just a web connection. I know you could use the podcast app on your iOS devices as well but this post will shows you how to listen on any device.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find your podcast in some of the apps. I usually just get lazy and google it. I found this by searching Wow in the world podcast and found their official site. I can now click one of the buttons to launch the show! Many of these buttons are app specific but clicking Spotify or Google Podcasts should open it on your laptop in a flash.
