premium on Android

So, I just changed over to android,and am struggling to figure out how to listen to the premium podcasts, as there's no iTunes. Is there a way to access it on Android? Or will I just have to listen to it in a browser? Any and all assistant would be greatly appreciated

Try Pocket Casts its a podcast app for android that will allow you to subscribe to any feed by pasting its URL into the search box.

I use PocketCasts. It can be a little tricky to get working. Tap Discover, then the search box at the top right. put in the feed url with your username and password attached:

http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/

worked for me.

The Bombcast is

I will also recommend Pocket Casts. You can set it up to auto-download the newest episodes as soon as they're put up and it works really well. It also syncs with servers so it knows where you paused/started listening.

Yeah, I went through about a dozen podcast apps on android, and pocket casts was by far the best. Getting premium GB stuff on it is easy, just follow @clayton_bomb's instructions.

There are a few apps with more robust feature sets, but Pocket Casts is way better from the design/usability perspective.

The sync feature on Pocket Casts is awesome if you listen on multiple devices.

They've launched a webplayer at https://play.pocketcasts.com/ (on-time fee of $9) which allows you to listen to your podcast on your computer as well.

Why not just accessing the website and then downloading the mp3 instead of streaming? I do the same with the videos. On my Galaxy S4 I just hold the 'download mp3' button for a second or two until a menu shows up and select 'save link as'. Then just remove the mp3 afterwards.

I'll put in my vote for PocketCasts as well. I've used a bunch of other podcast apps, and this one has worked the best for me.

I used BeyondPod works fine add the feed address go to advanced options put in your username and password let the app do the rest!

PLEASE USE HTTPS SO THAT YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD ARE NOT TRANSMITTED IN PLAIN TEXT. This is not a perfect solution that will protect your password (the server's logs will have the full url you accessed), but it will at least protect it from someone snooping on your network - and given that you're using a phone, the likelihood of you connecting to a hostile network is much higher than in your own home.

...That said, I'll back up Pocket Casts; it's a great experience, and it works cross-platform so you can switch ecosystems as often as you like (I use iOS for phone and Android for the tablet that stays at home).

You can try antennapod too. It works pretty well for me

Am I the only one who actually really likes listening to the ads? I could listen to the premium feed, but Jeff's businessman voice is soothing.

@nick_verissimo: I also still listen to the regular bombcast versus the no ad one.

Just click on the download button, press and hold when it starts playing in a new window, then download.

All these fancy podcast catchers, you kids.

I listen to the regular podcast as well, I just use the premium feed for the other podcasts. I actually really like the ads, but I miss small businessman a lot.
