Apple Podcasts Now Available on the Web

Apple today announced the launch of a Podcasts on the web feature, which works in Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on Macs, PCs, and other devices. Podcasts on the web allows users to search for, browse through, and listen to podcasts with access to the Up Next queue and library when signed in to an Apple Account.

Apple Podcasts on the web works like the ‌Apple Podcasts‌ app, and users can subscribe to and get updates for their favorite shows. Apple has long had a podcasts feature that allowed podcasts to be listened to on the web when embedded in an article, but now there is a dedicated website on devices without a Podcasts app.

podcasts on the web
You can check out Podcasts on the web by going to Apple's podcasts.apple.com site. Note that if you have the Podcasts app installed on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the website will open the app automatically rather than directing you to the web.

Podcasts on the web comes a month after Apple introduced Apple Maps on the web, which serves as an alternative to Google Maps.

As well as having these as separate websites it would be great if they were added to iCloud.com as extra apps.

Music, Maps, Podcasts...
Is TV+ coming next ? Netflix has a website where you can watch their content, it would be equivalent.

It basically confirms that the native app was just a web wrapper (except from the toolbar on the left which is native).
A bummer : It's also only available in English - no other language. I don't understand why since the app seems to share so many assets, and the app is localized in so many languages already.

Kind of unrelated, but I’d love if they brought Safari back to Windows. Would be great to sync tabs across my Apple devices and PC.
