Imagine a radio show you can listen to when you want and where you want.
That’s a podcast!
You can listen anytime, pause in the middle if you get interrupted, and listen from wherever you are with your phone or smart speaker.
Worried about using up your data on your phone? No problem! If you set up any of these podcast services, and subscribe to my podcast, you’re all set.
You’ll be able to listen even if you don’t have internet service!
So how do you subscribe to a podcast service? And which one? Here’s a simple guide:
ITunes This is Apple’s podcast service. It is by far the most popular. It’s a purple icon that is usually pre-installed on your Apple phone.
To subscribe to Accessible Housing Matters on an iPhone using the Podcasts app:·
Step 1. Click the Podcasts app and then click the magnifying glass in the bottom-right corner to Search.·
Step 2. Type “Accessible Housing Matters” in the search bar at the top.·
Step 3. From this screen, click our large icon in the middle of the screen
Step 4. Once on the “Accessible Housing Matters” page appears, press the Subscribe button. This is free and will keep you from missing any new episode that we post.·
Step 5. The most recent episode may download automatically, but you can be sure you have all the episodes by clicking the download icon (cloud with down arrow) next to each episode. This is also free, and will allow you to listen to all the episodes right away.·
Step 6. You can view and play all of those episodes by clicking the Unplayed icon in the bottom left of the screen, which displays any downloaded episode that you haven’t listened to yet.·
Step 7. Then just click the one you want to listen to first and it’ll start playing.
It’s that simple! Once you have it set up, the newest episode will show up each Monday, as long as you have subscribed. You can just click the purple Podcasts app on your phone, click into the Unplayed section on the bottom left, and a new episode should be waiting for you (already downloaded and ready to play without using any data).
But wait! I hear you say. “I don’t have an Apple phone!”.
No worries….there are several great podcast apps for Android phones that you can use instead. Download any of them from the Google Play Store.
These include:
Google Podcasts
Spotify
Stitcher
Once you start using a podcast app, you’ll quickly find that there are thousands of interesting podcast shows on every imaginable subject…including podcast versions of radio shows you may be familiar with also!
However, if all this is simply too much, you can always just come back to this website, and listen to the episodes straight from here!
