Hello Video! You can update to iOS 26.4 now to watch your favorites, on Apple Podcasts. I've had the privilege of working side-by-side with many of you to collaborate, iterate, and get shows ready for distribution. To see for yourself go to apple.co/video-podcasts.

2025 was Apple Podcasts’ best year yet, achieving record listeners, plays, and subscribers. Celebrating 20 years, Podcasts drove innovation, growth, and content recognition. It honored this milestone by curating “20 Years, 20 Podcasts We Love,” and introduced new accessibility and discovery features: enhance dialogue, new playback speeds, automatically created chapters, timed links, and expanded transcripts to over 125 million episodes in 13 languages. Podcasts also launched its “Best So Far” editorial list and awarded its Show of the Year to The Rest Is History — a first for a UK series. apple.com/newsroom/2026/…

@LyceumPeripatos @adamcurry @TrueFansFM I like that Adam thinks it’s more complex that it really is. Truth is I’m a fan of the show and I just notice the art isn’t updated and reach out.

@tedhosmann Thanks for the follow! :) It was funny to hear @adamcurry's comment on how you help him now and then, with the podcast artwork and the RSS feed. @TrueFansFM clip✂️from the latest episode of Podcasting 2.0. truefans.fm/podcasting-20/… #value4value #newpodcastapps #modernpodcastapps #podcasting

Fun fact: If you logged in to Apple Podcasts when it launched in 2005, you could choose from around 3,000 podcasts to listen to. Among them was The Daily Source Code, hosted by Adam Curry—'The Podfather,' who helped shape the early podcasting landscape. #ApplePodcasts20

Let’s hear it for our 2024 Show of the Year, Hysterical. 👏 Seasoned podcaster Dan Taberski delivers an incredibly thought-provoking series about the 2011 mysterious illness outbreak in LeRoy, New York and its connection to other misunderstood events. 🏆 apple.co/SOTY24

@morrell2400 @Apple When you scroll forward or back the text gets smaller so you can see more on the screen. If you wait a few seconds the text resume to normal size.

@Apple can you explain or tell me what the functionality is behind this in transcripts of podcasts? I’m not complaining just generally curious why the text is smaller and shifted to the left sometimes.

Developing a new metric for measuring readability of transcripts: how researchers on our team looked to create the best possible transcript experience on Apple Podcasts. machinelearning.apple.com/research/human…

@littleblue_dino @stephenrobles @appleinsider @ApplePodcasts Tap the title of the episode in the player and it takes you directly to the episode page with notes.

Anyone on iOS 17 listening to the @appleinsider show in @ApplePodcasts?? That episode artwork on the Listen Now tab is 🔥

@SteveStewartMe Its not something you create - its the Saved folder that 'smartly' collects the saved episodes in one list. Like the Downloads folder too.

@tedhosmann Wait. How can you create a Smart Folder in Apple Podcasts? Is that what the "New Station" is?

Do you “Save” podcast episodes? I rarely ever listen to an episode more than once, so can’t come up with a good reason for this feature.

@SteveStewartMe Library has a Smart Folder of just Saved episodes too - so my most common use is in CarPlay. Just a couple taps to Library and Saved to find something interesting that’s not the usual followed shows.

@SteveStewartMe All the time. Anytime I see an episode I’m interested in listening to but not necessarily interested in following the show I’ll just save the episode. The episode is pushed into my Up Next queue and I’ll listen when I get a chance.

@mayalau Doesn't mean anything? This means EVERYTHING! Great job...and don't look too quickly 👀 but I spy a top 10 Business podcast now. 🤩

Sorry I'm just excited ... Of the 5 million podcasts in existence, we are at #165 in Apple Podcasts right now, and #14 in Business podcasts. (I know, it maybe doesn't mean anything, I know, I know ... but still). Thank u everyone who has been listening to Other People's Pockets!

@KMacMusic @MikePosner @TheGapBand But that episode also has Fisher Stevens @fisherstevensbk aka “The Plague” from Hackers too!!!!! 🤯 I’m going to need to sit down for this. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop…

@tedhosmann @MikePosner @TheGapBand Love MP. Had a really deep convo with him on the show. One of my favorite artists - & humans - ever 💜

Really proud of what the team has built for @ApplePodcasts Subscriptions. apple.com/newsroom/2021/…

I'm really excited to be working on this new chapter for Apple Podcasts.

@StephenWilson Stop. Collaborate. Listen.

What is the "best advice" you learned and love to pass on to other people?
