podcasts.so

A full-featured podcast player for iPhone that also helps you find what to listen to — by topic, by place, and by what is actually being talked about. Free on the App Store, iOS 15.1 or later.

A real podcast player, first

Queue, playback speed, sleep timer, downloads, and CarPlay — and you can change what you are playing from without pausing or starting over.

Follow topics, not just shows

Follow a subject, a place, or even a search, and new episodes that match it come to you as they publish. Topics are extracted automatically from episode titles, descriptions, and transcripts, so you can follow a subject across every show that covers it instead of following shows and hoping.

Podcasts on a map

See the places being talked about and find episodes near you — or anywhere you are curious about.

Your show's shop, in your podcast app

The products and shops hosts actually mention, gathered in one place instead of scattered across show notes.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

One clean list of what is new, what you started, and what is waiting — without the clutter.

What it costs

The app is free. Pro is an optional subscription at $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year, billed through the App Store.

Bringing your shows across

podcasts.so imports an OPML file from apps that can export one, including Pocket Casts, Overcast, AntennaPod, Castro, Podcast Addict, and Apple Podcasts on the Mac. Apple Podcasts on iPhone and Spotify offer no export, so those shows are added by search. You can export your own subscriptions back to OPML at any time.
