(Re-)Subscribe for upcoming articles, reviews, radio shows, books and seminars/webinars In the meantime, I know that there are many good podcasts apps available on different platforms, but its simplest to recommend a single one that is great and works on so many platforms, rather than having to recommend a different one for each platform. It is sad that Apple has removed this capability in its Apple Podcasts app and I hope Apple corrects this soon. Having rich episode notes (including italics, bold and human links ) is something I value greatly, both as a content creator and and a content consumer. This is key both for branding and to protect you in case of any potential future disputes. does this as standard, without any extra charge or hassle. Also, unlike many other podcast hosting offerings, with, your RSS feed always uses your show’s own domain, nobody else’s. If your current hosting company doesn’t offer rich episode notes, with italics, bold and human links, consider the offers available at where the episode notes indeed support italics, bold and human links. Your current podcast host doesn’t support rich episode notes? ![]() (Pocket Casts doesn’t charge for the listing or the link.) That’s what I have done already with my CapicúaFM show and some others. To facilitate having listeners subscribe free to your show in Pocket Casts, you can (and should) list your podcast’s RSS feed with Pocket Casts and then create a direct link to it to include in your podcast’s website. Pocket Casts is available free from both the Apple AppStore and the Google Play Store.

Some other podcast consultants have suggested that we should downgrade our episode notes to match the lowest common denominator of these weak podcast consumption apps like the Spotify player and now the Apple Podcast player too. This is one of many deficiencies I have previously criticized in the Spotify player too. ![]() As a result, words we often have in our rich episode notes like what we display in italics, words in bold and human links like this one are now sadly castrated: The words that were in italics or bold sadly become plain text, and the human links become just powerless words without any of their prior powers. Sadly, Apple removed a key feature from the latest versions of Apple Podcasts: rich episode note s. What Apple sadly removed in Apple Podcasts ![]() Ahead, I’ll clarify what feature Apple strangely removed from its own Apple Podcasts app but still flourishes in the free premium app I recommend. ![]() The alternative app even offers a free listing and direct link for your show(s). It’s a premium -yet free- alternative podcast consumption app which is exempt from the new Apple Podcasts deficiency and is multiplatform for Android, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and even Apple Watch. Fortunately, I have free suggestions for both listeners and creators. The recent downgrade in the Apple Podcasts app for iOS is bad news for listeners and producers. ![]()
