Podcasts are very popular.

In a podcast, several people often talk to each other about a certain topic, such as a murder or simply what they experienced that week.

Furthermore, the podcasts for listeners actually work exactly the same as the individual songs. You can add an episode of a podcast to your playlist and you can also find them in the library. If you would like to see a podcast with images, you don’t have to do anything. Podcasts play automatically with video. If you don’t like that, you can enable the option that the podcasts should switch to audio versions if possible. We also know that from music: you can also determine whether you want to see the video or just listen to the music. Handy for when you’re in the car or on the bike.
