Plugging in earbuds to queue up a true-crime, comedy, or news episode — letting someone else's voice fill the wait while you watch the gate number for updates.

The Essentials

Tips

  • Start with a show's most popular or recommended episode rather than episode one, since many podcasts hit their stride well into the run, and a weak first episode can turn you off a show you'd otherwise enjoy.
  • Download episodes over Wi-Fi before a commute or flight, since streaming a podcast on mobile data or with no signal at all can leave you without anything to listen to when you need it most.
  • Use a dedicated podcast app rather than a general music player, since podcast apps track your listening position automatically and let you adjust playback speed, both of which are awkward to manage otherwise.
  • Subscribe only to a handful of shows you actively want to keep up with, since an overloaded queue of unlistened episodes creates a sense of obligation that makes podcast listening feel like a chore rather than a leisure activity.
