How do you listen to podcasts? I recently discovered a cool way to listen to podcasts on your iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, and smart-speaker called Stitcher. Not only is Stitcher a podcast app, but it’s also a podcast network. The app doesn’t have the most extensive feature set or settings for playing podcast episodes, but it does a good job allowing you to listen to any podcast you desire.
