PODCASTS
Your podcasts,
on every screen.
Search millions of shows, subscribe to your favourites and pick up every episode right where you left off — on your phone and your TV. Free to browse and listen, with an Up Next queue and a sleep timer for winding down.
HOW IT WORKS
Find it, follow it, never lose your place.
Find any show
Search millions of podcasts, or browse the top charts by category — Comedy, News, True Crime, Technology, Sport and more.
Subscribe to your favourites
Follow a show and it lands in “Your Shows”, synced across your phone and TV. The free plan keeps one subscription; Media unlocks unlimited.
Listen, and pick up where you left off
Stream episodes with background audio and lock-screen controls. Your position follows you across devices, and an Up Next queue lines up what plays next.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything a great podcast app should do.
Discover millions of shows
A huge catalogue from Apple’s public podcast directory — search by name or browse top charts by genre. No extra account, no setup.
Subscriptions that sync
Follow shows and they appear in “Your Shows” on every device, kept in sync through your Combust Media account.
Continue listening
Every episode remembers exactly where you stopped — resume on your phone, finish on your TV, without losing your place.
Up Next queue
Line up episodes across different shows. When one finishes, the next in the queue plays automatically.
Sleep timer
Winding down? Set a timer or a custom length and playback gently fades out and lets your screen sleep.
Built for the big screen
Podcasts is a full mode on Android TV too — search, subscriptions, Continue Listening and Up Next, all designed for the remote.
PRICING
Free to listen. Media lifts the limit.
Podcasts are part of the Media subscription — £5/year. Searching, browsing and listening are always free, and the free plan lets you subscribe to one show. Media unlocks unlimited subscriptions across your phone and TV, alongside radio, live TV and your own playlists. See plans →
QUESTIONS
The short version.
Where do the podcasts come from?
From Apple’s public podcast directory — the same catalogue most podcast apps draw on. There’s nothing to set up and no separate account.
Is it really free?
Yes — browsing, searching and listening are free. The free plan keeps one subscription; Media (£5/year) unlocks unlimited subscriptions across your devices.
Does playback keep going in the background?
Yes. Audio continues when you leave the app or lock your phone, with lock-screen controls — and the app-wide sleep timer if you’re drifting off.
Can I download episodes for offline?
Not yet — episodes stream over the internet for now. Offline downloads may arrive in a later update.
Does it work on my TV?
Yes — Podcasts is a full mode on Android TV with search, top charts, your subscriptions, Continue Listening and Up Next, all built for the remote.
