                          Do You Use It? Podcast Apps

   Adam Engst

   Podcasts featured prominently in TidBITS last week due to Apple's
   addition of podcast transcripts in iOS 17.4 (see '[1]iOS 17.4 and
   iPadOS 17.4 Add Podcast Transcripts, Fix Zero-Day Vulnerabilities,' 6
   March 2024) and the sponsorship of [2]Listen Later, which converts
   articles into personal podcast episodes (see '[3]Text-to-Podcast
   Service Listen Later Sponsoring TidBITS,' 11 March 2024).

   Transcripts are available only in Apple Podcasts, whereas Listen Later
   creates a podcast feed you can listen to in any podcast app. That
   caused me to wonder if Apple's Podcasts app has gotten good enough that
   third-party podcast apps are no longer as attractive as they once were.

   So, this week's Do You Use It? poll asks, [4]what is your preferred
   podcast app? Or do you not listen to podcasts at all? In the comments,
   please tell us what you like about your favorite, and if you chose
   Other, let us know what it is.
