If you have an M1 Mac, you can run many iOS and iPadOS apps – so, for example, our favourite mobile podcast app, Overcast, runs on our Mac too.
Podcasts weren’t invented by Apple, but they wouldn’t exist without it: podcasts were made specifically for listening to on iPods, hence the name. The first podcast was uploaded in 2004, and according to Podcast Insights there are now 1,950,000 shows and 47 million episodes.
