Editor’s Note: The choice of podcast apps is the writer’s & this Website may or may not endorse it. We normally don’t publish “best” or “top” lists simply because the word “best” is a rather non-tangible quality that varies from person to person. That’s why, if you may have noticed, we’ve not headlined the above report as the “best” or “Top” 5 apps. We also feel lists are also unfair to others in the same business. The writer has simply chosen these apps based on a combination of factors like their popularity, ease of use, quality of features, etc. So those apps which have not found place on this list, fret not. It may be due to lack of editorial space, more than anything else, that you are not in this story, that’s all.
