Play podcasts in app

Call me crazy, but being able to play a podcast

in Echo

might keep you from having to build a ton of integrations—and users would be a LOT more likely to “Echo” if they didn’t have to switch apps (better retention/engagement).

Playing episodes is live on iOS and Android! I appreciate the patience on this :D

I kind of like having it separate. This way, I can use different podcast players and keep them a bit cleaner and send single episodes from Podyssey to my player. I like having the discussions with all sorts of Podcast listeners, independent of what app they use to listen. I like having compatibility with other podcasts apps, but still having this engaging community and discovery platform.

Kimberly H. Wolfson: Glad to hear! We adding a player in the next version, but we keep the ability to open the episode in your player of choice and we will always be about the community and discussions no matter what player you use :)

This is probably the most requested feature and will be built into the iOS and Android apps over the next couple months.

Hey Sam. I am closing this ticket for now. We do want to make it easier for users to echo out great episodes. We are currently building in "Share to Echo" from the share screen on your current podcast player.
