Podcast Players & Listening Apps

Podcast players and apps are where listeners find and play shows. This page lists podcast player apps and listening platforms, including video platforms that carry podcasts and audio discovery apps. Podcasters can use the list to see where their audience may listen, and listeners can use it to compare podcast apps. Use the subcategory links to look at open RSS players, non-open RSS players and mobile apps. Open a profile to see what each one offers and to find similar apps.
