Really thorough and pithy walk-through! Allison's tutorials are the next best thing to having. a 'de-confusion' magic wand.
(^-^#.)
I've used Overcast for years but still have been frustrated by some of the UI. Between the new overcast features she highlighted (like the privacy overvire ?) and demystifying some of the UI quirks the app has always had (like how to access the episode chapters) she has absolutely re-invigorated my love for Overcast!
Allison addresses how use a creator-provided url to access 'premium' subscription podcast episodes. However, do anyone know how to access 'premium' channel episodes in Overcast if one subscribed via Apple Podcasts App?
A separate 'subscriber' url isn't given as far as I can tell.... but it would be great if I didn't have to switch back to using the Apple Podcasts App for the 'ad-free' version of my favorite podz.
Either way Thanks again for such a great tutorial and making one of my favorite apps even better!
