If you're frustrated with your current podcast player, Overcast may delight you with how it lets you tailor your podcasting experience. Maybe you've tried Overcast before but found the interface confusing. The app has gone through a major redesign, and in this tutorial Allison guides you on how to use the power of this flexible application with lots of examples.

Overcast will run on iOS and iPadOS 17 or newer, watchOS 10 or newer, and you can use it on a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or later.

• The free version contains small banner ads at the bottom of the player

• Overcast Premium is $10 per year

In this tip show, Rosemary introduces you to some new Shortcuts Actions in Overcast, the popular podcast player. You learn what options they support, and how you can integrate them with actions from other apps inside Shortcuts. Rose also goes over a few real-world examples.

Overcast is a popular third-party podcast player, which we covered back in June of 2019.

In this tip, Rosemary revisits its Smart Playlists feature on iOS. You learn about sort orders, including and excluding specific episodes, and how to prioritise podcasts.

If you listen to a lot of podcasts but want something that offers more options than Apple's Podcasts app, Overcast may be for you.

In this episode, Mike dives deep into Overcast on iPhone – since this is the primary place people download and listen to podcasts.

He covers numerous ways to discover and download podcasts and shows you all the ins and outs of the Overcast interface. You learn how to search for podcasts and build your library, record Overcast-friendly Siri shortcuts, create Smart Playlists, upload files via Overcast Premium for testing, and much more.

Overcast is the latest (and many would say the greatest) audio podcast player available for iOS.

Beautifully designed with some unique features, Overcast is well worth a try and is my current favourite audio podcast player.
