How to subscribe to
The BitterSweet Life Podcast
(or any podcast)
We’ve had a lot of listeners ask us how to subscribe to The Bittersweet Life podcast. It’s simple but takes a couple of steps, so we’ve broken it down for you below.
Your smartphone may already have a podcast player installed. If not, there are plenty to choose from. Katy and I recommend Overcast, one of the most user-friendly and steam-lined options that is available for both Apple and Android devices.
Download it here or search for “Overcast” wherever you get your apps.
Now that you have a podcast player, it’s time to get some podcasts!
1) Open the Overcast app.
2) Tap the + symbol in the upper right corner to search for podcasts.
3) Type The Bittersweet Life (or whatever podcast you’re looking for) into the “Search Directory” bar at the top of the page.
4) Tap on the show and then hit SUBSCRIBE. (It’s literally that easy.)
5) A DONE button will appear letting you know it worked. Just tap DONE and start listening! (The app will also automatically download the latest episode.)
BUT WAIT!! What about all the earlier episodes I missed?
It’s easy to get to those too.
1) Tap The Bittersweet Life in your podcast list. That will take you a new screen with The Bittersweet Life logo and show description at the top.
2) Tap ALL. This will show you a list of every episode ever made. Episodes may appear oldest-to-newest or newest-to-oldest, depending on your settings.
3) Scroll through the list to find episodes you don’t have. Look for titles that are faded-white. Those are the ones you don’t have yet. (You’ve already downloaded the bright-white titles.)
4) Tap the episode you want and either push play (center option), or download the episode for later (downward arrow on the far right)
—optional—
5) You can also download episodes by tapping the (i) icon that appears to the right of each episode’s title. Here you can read more about an episode, find additional links and host contact information, and download the episode. Just tap the downward arrow in the upper right corner of the screen.
We hope this helps you listen to The Bittersweet Life and other podcasts for years to come. If you need help, just let us know. You can reach us at bittersweetlife@mail.com
