Are you an avid listener of podcasts? Do you enjoy hearing a few people chat about everything from sports to entertainment to the best kind of quadruple stack cheeseburger? (Iโm not sure if thatโs a podcast yet, but it definitely should be.) Then Iโm sure youโd like an easy way to have all your podcasts directly on your phone.
โBut wait! I have an Android phone. I canโt subscribe to iTunes podcastsโ, you may say.
Well, fear not, as Google Play Music, the main music service from Google (couldnโt you tell from the name?) is fully equipped for your podcast needs. But I know what youโre saying now. โI wish I had a mildly informative article to teach me how to find the podcasts I want on Google Play.โ Well, youโre in luck again. Because youโre reading such an article right now. (Is your mind blown?) Letโs take a look at the world of Google Play Music podcasts.
The Basics
After opening the Google Play Music app, you need to tap the small box in the top left of the screen. You know, that box with all the lines that every single app seems to have. Youโll get a number of different options, such as โBrowse Stationsโ, โListen Nowโ, and โOrder Sandwichโ. The last oneโs my favorite feature. Simply tap on โPodcastsโ and let your journey begin.
And Then What?
Once youโve taken a look at some of the most popular podcasts, you may want to narrow down your search. Simply tap on โAll Categoriesโ and scroll around. They have everything from Business to News & Politics to plenty of other things that are way too highbrow for me to listen to.
Additional Tips
If you donโt see anything available that sparks your interests, simply search a keyword of something you enjoy. Big fan of the 90โs? Check out 90โs Percentile. Love trivia? Give Good Job Brain a listen. Huge fan of actor Todd Bridges? Iโm sure thereโs a podcast about him called Toddcast. Wait, nevermind, Iโm taking that idea.
