Apple Podcasts

Spoken-word streaming service

Apple Podcasts is Apple's app for discovering, subscribing to, and listening to podcasts.

It comes preinstalled on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

The app also functions as a distribution platform—podcast creators submit their shows to Apple Podcasts to reach listeners.

Before rebranding in 2017, it was simply called Podcasts or iTunes Podcasts.
