How To Listen To A Podcast On Your BlackBerry
A question that we get regularly here on RIMarkable.com is “How do you listen to a podcast on your BlackBerry?”
If you have a relatively new BlackBerry, one capable of running BlackBerry 6 or higher, the easiest way, arguably, is with the native BlackBerry Podcasts app.
Chances are your device already has BlackBerry Podcasts installed, but, if you don’t, you can download it OTA, or, pick it up in BlackBerry App World.
To listen to a podcast, all you have to do is:
- Open up the Podcasts App
- Click on “Add Podcast Channel”
- Enter the URL of the podcast feed (ex. SMRpodcast.com/showfeed)
- Click Subscribe
The latest episode of the podcast should download to your device.
