We intentionally went with a download-only method rather than streaming. We found that people find more joy from their music when they own it and curate it, vs. being streamed whatever the algorithm serves up. We also wanted to empower you as the account owner to be able to have complete control over the content on your Wisephone.
Downloading an episode from Apple Podcasts is achievable, but you will need a computer to do so. Please follow the steps below to successfully download your favorite episodes.

If you are using a Mac you will want to open Apple Podcasts
(*If you do not have a Mac, a web browser should work for these steps as well)

Type the podcast name into the search bar and hit return
• If you do not have a Mac with the Apple Podcasts app, you can simply go to Google and type in the podcast name + Apple Podcast - ie: Pumped Up Parenting Apple Podcast. Then click on the link, and it should take you to podcasts.apple.com/NAME. Now COPY the link in the URL field at the top of your browser and proceed to Step 4.
