How to listen to Podcasts

In this short guide, I'm going to share with you the simple steps of how to listen to a podcast using either your phone, tablet or computer.

I'm going to start by being really honest here, I never really used to listen to many podcasts. Before starting my own, there were maybe 2-3 that I had listened to on a regular basis and even then, drifted in and out as my mood changed.

Someone recently messaged me and said they would love to hear the Weight Loss Warrior success stories but don't "own a podcast to listen to them". I realised at this point that despite the weight loss community being literally millions of people on Instagram, there are many who do not know how to access content on a podcast or have not ever listened to one.

The best thing about podcasts is that they are FREE. You can search almost any topic and find someone speaking passionately about it, from growing herbs to collecting stamps...It's all there.

If you are here because you would like to listen to the WLW podcast, follow the simple steps below and you'll be joining our warriors share their success stories in no time.

Choose your device and platform

Podcast episodes are played on what is known as a "Podcast player". These can be apps like Spotify and iTunes, or within websites on the internet. You can access Podcast Players using a mobile device, tablet or computer/laptop.

Our website, the very one you are on now has a podcast player. If this is a good solution for you, simply click here and you will be taken to all our latest episodes. Below is an example image of what you will find when you visit our podcast page, all you need to do is pick an episode and click on it to play. It really is that simple

If you want to listen to podcasts on the move using you phone, it's also really easy to get started.

iPhone

This is easy as you already have "Apple Podcasts" preinstalled and ready to go. All you need to do is look through your apps to find it.

Once you have located the app, you can type "Weight Loss Warrior Podcast" in the search bar and select an episode. You also have the option to "follow" the podcast and get notifications every time a new episode is published!

Android

The built in App that comes on Android devices is called Google Podcasts. To be honest it's not that great and can be a bit clunky. I'd recommend a really easy alternative like "Pocketcasts", or Castbox. You just need to search for them in the app store and download them. The whole process takes less than 2 minutes and you can start listening straight away.

Spotify & Amazon Music

If you already listen music on Spotify or Amazon's platform, the WLW Podcast is there already and waiting for you! Simply search for my name Carl Radley or, "Weight Loss Warrior Podcast" and you will see our blue WLW logo!

In all the cases, you also have the opportunity to "follow" the Podcast. This helps you as you will easily find episodes when you open the app and can even get notifications when a new episode launches. It also helps the growth of the podcast as it indicates people enjoy listening and will have more chance of being suggested to others who are looking for something similar.
