You want to look for one that will let you access a large and comprehensive library of podcasts. You also want it to be a simple process to listen once you find the podcast you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nice thing about podcatchers is you can subscribe to a podcast instead of downloading individual episodes (you can also download if you prefer). Subscribing ensures you don\u2019t miss an episode, because the podcast app will alert you whenever there is a new one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, <b>you can easily download new episodes<\/b> with the tap of a button in your podcatcher. In some podcatchers, you can choose the option to have each new episode automatically downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"android device\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Android-device.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"apps-for-podcasts-on-android\"><\/span>Apps for Podcasts on Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.podcasts&amp;hl=en_US\">1.

TuneIn Radio<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TuneIn Radio is considered a radio app, but it\u2019s also home to an overgrowing directory of podcasts as more hosts add their show to the platform in an effort to be listed on Alexa and Amazon devices. Users of TuneIn can also access their subscriptions on smart watches, Google Home, and their desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/submit-podcast-to-tunein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to learn how to submit your podcast to TuneIn.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"android\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/android.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"download-straight-from-the-source\"><\/span>Download Straight from the Source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to use a podcatcher app, you can still manually download podcast episodes.
