You can listen to podcasts on your desktop computer, mobile device, or even through your smart home speakers, like the Echo or Google Home.

If you plan to listen to podcasts on your desktop or laptop, you can do so in two ways: through a web player platform (such as Spotify Web Player) or by using a desktop app (such as Apple Podcasts or the Spotify desktop app).

It is convenient to use a web player because you usually do not need a specific operating system or web browser, and you do not need to download a podcast to listen to it. You can simply stream your chosen podcast online through the web player itself.

Here's how to listen to a podcast using Spotify Web Player. All you need is an internet connection, a web browser, and a Spotify account.
