LISTEN to 365 Bible Podcasts

You can subscribe to the two podcasts above using virtually all podcast apps and streaming services!

• • • Important note: Some podcast aggregator apps only keep track of 200 episodes. If you subscribe within the first 200 days of the year, you should be able to find and start at episode 001 using your app.

    • But not all podcast apps have a search box! If you have to scroll down to find the first episode, and especially if the player doesn't remember the last episode you listed to, get a better app!

    • In case your podcast app doesn't have the day number that you want, you can always find everything at dailybiblereading.info or dailygntbiblereading.info.

    • Here are things I look for in a good podcast app or streaming service:

      • Does the app have a search box or is the user forced to scroll way down to find older podcasts? AND does the app allow you to sort the DDeeper podcasts from oldest to newest. (That way you can easily start at Day 001.)

      • Is there a limit to the podcasts available, like just 100 or 200? Good apps will let you see all of the approximately 380 podcasts in our feed.

      • Does the app show the episode notes nicely formatted? Or do you just get a blob of text? The best apps show line spacing, and can contain clickable links. Some even allow for bold text and other niceties.

      • Are there speed controls? I like apps that let you choose 10% speed increments. 50% increments are useless. You really won't remember much when listening at 1.5 speed. I like and recommend listening at 1.2 or 1.25 speed. (I find my own podcasts too slow without speeding them up a bit!)

      • Does the app play ads on the screen while you listen, or does it force you to see ads at startup? Find an app that doesn't bother you with ads, or one where it is cheap to turn off the ads.

      • I haven't found a podcast app yet that has a bookmark feature, which would allow the user to quickly find his/her last-played and next-unplayed episode out of 365+. The solution is to have one app dedicated to listening to the DBRP and another for all you other podcast listening

I have only been able to compile this information for some Android apps. (Some of these, especially the streaming services will be the same for Apple devices as well.)

• • • AntennaPod This is the podcast app that I used daily for several years. It shows episode notes nicely formatted. It also has easily activated speed controls in 25% increments. This app is not as full-featured as Podcast Republic, but it does not show ads. 

    • Amazon Music is one of my newest favorites. It is very simple to use. I highly recommend this app if you want to listen to the DDeeper podcasts using an Alexa device. My complaint about this app is that you will see LOTS of advertising.

    • Podcast Republic! This app is available for both Android and Apple devices. This app checks all the boxes for me, except one. Podcast Republic is very customizable (and this makes it also rather complicated to learn). When you first start the app, the programmer did a brilliant job of giving popup hints that help you learn what to do. Podcast Republic allows you to set the order you want your podcasts to play, and whether you want the app to stop after playing each one, or whether you want it to keep going to the next episode. You can easily set the playing speed for individual or all episodes. (I like 1.2.) Podcast Republic makes it easy to see episode notes and episode artwork. It does show Google advertisements at the very bottom of the screen, and I felt it was worth $4 to turn them off permanently. The one thing I haven’t found in this app is how to keep it from forgetting my place if I switch to play The World and Everything In It after listening to my Bible reading. So I use Antennapod (my previous favorite app) for all my other podcasts.

    • Podbean You can easily subscribe by searching for Daily Bible Reading or Daily GNT Bible Reading. The episode notes are easy to display. Commuters: Podbean is a good choice for a driver who wants to set the app playing and let it go automatically from one episode to the next. To do this, use the sort setting to display the episodes in ascending order. 

    • Podcast Addict I have never seen a fuller featured podcast player. Episode notes are easy to find and nicely formatted. You can configure more than just the speed of playback in this app. It only remembers the last 100 podcasts. It was easy to find and subscribe to my podcasts.

    • Spotify It is easy to find both of my podcasts using the Spotify app. All the back episodes in the catalog are available. The episode notes show as a blob of unformatted text, shown with white text on a black background. I don't find any controls for playback speed.

Here are Apple apps that I know to be good. Apple users, please send me information!

• • • Overcast This is a very fully-featured podcast app, and I believe it may be the most popular of the Apple podcast apps.

    • Podcast Republic See the Android section for my description.

    • Castro This is a simpler podcast app with nice features.

    • Apple purple icon bundled podcast app: This is not the best app, but it is the one all Apple users have. Episode notes show as a blob of unformatted text.
