10 Alternatives to Apple's Podcasts iOS app
If you're a podcast fan, you have many ways to listen to your favorite shows. You can download them to iTunes and listen to them on your Mac. You can sync them from iTunes to your iOS device, and listen to them with Apple's Podcasts app. You can subscribe to them on the Podcasts app, and download them only to your iOS device. Or you can use one of a number of third-party apps on iOS.

"We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. The days are always dark enough. There is no need for us to emphasize the fact by spreading further gloom."
- George M. Adam
"He is a man of sense who does not grieve for what he has not, but rejoices in what he has."
- Epictetus
"Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow."
- Bill Moyers
