Podcasts are audio or video files that are downloaded to a mobile device and listened to or watched. Many can be listened to and watched on the web. The name Podcast came from Apple. Many years ago when Apple just had the classic MP3 player, Apple began supporting and listing Podcasts in their iTunes app. The Apple Music player was called an iPod. Also these sound files were usually regularly released like broadcast TV shows, so these files were called Podcasts.
I use two different programs to listen to Podcasts on my devices. I use Overcast and Pocketcast. I used Pocketcast for years when Overcast came on the scene. Overcast got great reviews, mostly because the developer was very well known in the tech community. So I got it. I switch between the two every couple of months. The latest Pocketcast is very well done. Both Overcast and Pocketcast work well on the iPhone and iPad. Overcast has a web player, while Pocketcast has both a web player and a Mac downloadable app for playing my podcasts on my Macs
I subscribe to 42 Podcasts. They are a mix of religious, tech and politics. A few are daily, most are weekly.
There are three Podcasts I listen to every weekday.
Armstrong and Getty is a morning radio out of Sacramento, CA. Their 4 hour radio show is reduced to a 2 hour podcasts. They cover all the political news in Washington and California. They are funny, off-the-cuff and libertarian. They want a smaller government and regularly rail against uncle Jerry. This is a great place to the daily news on what is happening
macOS Ken is 15 minute Podcast released every weekday morning. It covers Apple news.
The Briefing is a 15 minute Podcast put out by Albert Mohler. He goes through the news and responds to it from a Christian worldview.
Two political Podcasts from orthodox Jews I listen to are:
Rabbi Daniel Lapin puts out a Podcast every weekend. He explains world events using ancient Jewish wisdom
Ben Shapiro is a conservative speaker that has been banned from Berkeley. He speaks to the political events of the day from a conservative point of view.
There are a few weekly religious podcasts that I listen to
Reformed Forum is a group of pastors who discuss the Bible and theology
Theocast is a group of reformed pastors from Nashville who discus the Bible and biblical themes
Wretched Radio is a segment from Todd Freil’s radio program
The Bible Project is by two men who teach about the Bible
For tech Podcasts I listen to
The Mac Geek Gab which is a Mac centered podcast every Sunday
The Mac Observer Daily Observations is a 20 minute discussion on the Apple news of the day
DTNS is Tom Merrit’s Daily Tech News Show. It is a staple of the tech news every day
I listen to these podcasts when I am driving or eating lunch. Most Podcast players allow the user to change the speed and I listen to most podcasts at 1.5% speed. I have read articles that listening to speech at a faster than normal speed keeps the mind young and stalls dementia. I’ll let you know.
