Frequently asked questions about Podcasts
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a series of audio episodes on a particular topic that are released regularly and can be accessed at any time. Unlike radio programmes, you listen to podcasts on demand, whenever and wherever you want. Topics range from True Crime and Comedy to Science and History, as well as Personal Development and News.
Where can you listen to podcasts for free?
Audible offers access to thousands of podcasts, including exclusive Originals, as part of a free 30-day trial subscription. In addition, Audible also has a selection of free audiobooks available without a subscription.
Which are the most popular podcasts?
The most popular podcasts change regularly, but some genres remain consistently in demand: True Crime, Comedy, Knowledge and Society are amongst the most listened to categories. On Audible you'll find current podcast charts as well as editorial recommendations by genre and mood, including many exclusive titles that aren't available on any other platform.
What are Audible Original Podcasts?
Audible Original Podcasts are exclusive productions that are only available on Audible. They're produced with well-known hosts, journalists or authors and cover genres from True Crime to Entertainment and Knowledge. All Audible Original Podcasts are included in every Audible subscription.
Which podcast app is the best?
The best podcast app depends on what matters to you: selection, usability or exclusive content. The Audible app offers thousands of podcasts, an offline function for downloading, adjustable playback speed, a sleep timer and bookmarks. Additionally, you have access to hundreds of thousands of audiobooks. The app is available for iOS and Android and can also be used via Alexa-enabled devices.
Are podcasts included in the Audible subscription?
Yes. Podcasts are included in both Audible subscription models. With the Standard subscription you listen to podcasts and choose one audiobook each month from the entire catalogue. With the Monthly subscription you additionally receive a monthly credit for an audiobook that's yours to keep permanently, plus unlimited access to the listening catalogue. Both subscriptions start with a free trial month. Current prices and terms can be found at audible.de/ep/vorteile.
Can I listen to podcasts offline as well?
Yes. In the Audible app, podcasts can be downloaded and played without an internet connection. This is particularly practical for commuters, travel or places with poor reception. Once downloaded, episodes remain saved in your library.
What's the difference between a podcast and an audiobook?
A podcast is released in episodes, often on a recurring theme, and is regularly continued. An audiobook is the audio version of a book with a clear beginning and end. On Audible you'll find both: thousands of podcasts, including exclusive Originals, and hundreds of thousands of audiobooks in one subscription.
