Apple Podcasts User Guide
for macOS 27
Get started with Podcasts
Learn how to find podcasts you’ll enjoy, watch or listen to episodes, follow your favorite shows, and share your thoughts with ratings and reviews.
Watch video podcasts
Follow along with a transcript, adjust playback speed, watch full screen, or pop the video into picture-in-picture while you use other apps.
Listen to a show—wherever you go
Didn’t finish that show during your lunch break? Take it with you when you get in your car, then finish listening on your HomePod or on Apple Podcasts on the web.
Search. Follow. Play.
Find podcasts by searching categories, show names, topics, and more. Follow shows or play episodes right from your search results.
Read along with transcripts
View the transcript for an episode, or search for a specific word or phrase. You can also select a section in the transcript, then share the episode with someone else—the episode starts playing at the point you selected.
To explore the Apple Podcasts User Guide, click Table of Contents at the top of the page, or enter a word or phrase in the search field.
