    Thank you Mike! I'm old. I assumed that all podcasts cost money, so I've been hesitant to "click" any buttons! I've been dying to read all the great classic literature that I haven't read, but my eyes are failing! So I decided to search RUclips for info on how to listen to podcasts! YOU JUST CHANGED MY WORLD! A thousand thanks! You're the sweetest!

    Thank you. Have not paid much attention to podcasts over the years but now that I have retired and am looking for things to do, listening to what people have to say or teach has been a new pursuit of mine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about podcasts.

    Thank you for all this info. I help out a woman who has MS. She is at the point she can not use her hands or legs and uses a computer on her wheelchair to make phone calls, operate her tv… all using her eye movement to move the cursor. She was a teacher and loves to learn.I suggested she look into listening to podcasts that interest her, but I didn’t know where to begin. You have been so helpful!

    Hey Mike,
    I have recently started listening to Podcasts. I knew they were there, and I knew what they were, but I never really listened to any of them. I started listening to a motivational one, and it has been great. I have received some recommendations from both my sister and my niece, and I really hope to give them a try. I think podcasts are great and more people should listen to them. This video will definitely encourage people in this direction.

    Thank you. I was in the “ I have heard of podcasts but didn’t have a clue what they were” you have just answered every question I had. I do a lot of walking and although I love listening to music, sometimes a change would be good. I will give it a try on my lunchtime walk tomorrow. Liked and subscribed. Thanks again
    As a follow up two weeks later. I wouldn’t have believed that it could be so easy. I’ve been listening to a Podcast about the benefits of walking, while walking and leaning French while going to sleep. I’m loving it and I’ve only scratched the surface. Thanks again.

    Thank you for your video answering most of my questions re: Podcasts. However my main question was Not answered. Do you have to pay for to listen to these podcasts? And if not, how does the Podcast creator make any money? With RUclips one gets ads during the video unless they subscribe to RUclips Red on a monthly basis and the Creator of the Videos makes money based off the revenue the ads bring in. However, how does that work with Podcasts?

      Thanks for watching. Google Play is/was the official music app for Android phones. However, it looks like that may no longer be available. Fortunately, there are other available podcast apps that are available for Android phones (e.g. Google Podcast, etc.). You can find them in the Google Play app store on the phone.
