For anyone who spends a lot of time driving or flying, listening to podcasts can be a lifesaver. After all, it’s a great way to get information without any eyestrain.
So how does it work when you’re on the road?
There are a few options. One is basic podcast listening straight from a website, which means it’s streaming. Of course, that uses bandwidth, and without Wi-Fi or a network connection, it’s not an option.
The better alternative is to download the podcast to your smartphone or tablet.
iTunes is always a good place to start, and if you subscribe to a podcast, it’ll automatically pull it down for you when a new episode appears.
Apple devices come with a built-in app called…Podcasts. Search for a broadcast and download it from there.
Stitcher has a great app that plays podcasts and radio shows, and you can customize your own playlist.
Audible.com, which is better known for audiobooks, also has a fair amount of podcasts in its library that are available for download.
