I heard about Earshot Podcast from the Tech-VI list. I have taken the liberty of including the full description from the app store, where Michael Babcock explains the various subscription options right in the App Store description, which is too seldom done.
>From the Tech-VI list and Michael Babcock: Big news! Earshot Podcasts was officially approved by Apple and launched on Wednesday! I've been a little quiet because #ACB2026 has kept me busy, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who tested early versions of the app. Your feedback, bug reports, and ideas helped make this launch possible. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think. Download Earshot Podcasts: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earshot-podcasts/id6770760602 Thank you again to everyone who helped get us here. This is just the beginning. Description from the App Store: Earshot is here: a podcast player built VoiceOver-first and shaped by the blind community. Follow, queue, and listen your way. Free for up to 10 shows. Earshot is a podcast player built accessibility-first. Every screen, button, and gesture works fully with VoiceOver, so blind and low-vision listeners get the same fast, complete experience as everyone else. Listen your way: * Follow any podcast by search, RSS feed URL, or OPML import * A Smart Inbox that gathers new episodes from the shows you choose * Queue with reordering, grouping by podcast, and auto-advance * Per-podcast playback speed that remembers your preference * Chapter support with a chapter list and previous/next navigation * Sleep timer for winding down * Bookmarks to save a spot and jump back later * Transcripts when a podcast provides them * Auto-download recent episodes so they are ready offline * Adjustable skip-forward and skip-back intervals * Listening stats to see how much you have listened Organize a big library: * Folders to group your shows * Mark all as played, plus multi-select to clear things out fast * Resume right where you left off on every episode * Import your subscriptions with OPML, and export them any time Built for VoiceOver from day one: * Configurable Quick Actions that populate the VoiceOver rotor, so your most-used actions are one flick away * Clear, consistent labels on every control * Full Dynamic Type support and respect for your system settings * No unlabeled buttons, no inaccessible screens Earshot is free for up to 10 podcast subscriptions. Earshot Plus removes the cap for unlimited subscriptions: $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49.99 once for lifetime access. An optional in-app tip jar is there if you would like to support development. No ads, no third-party trackers, ever. Earshot was built with AI coding assistance. I am a blind developer who directed AI agents to help create the accessible podcast app I wanted to exist, then tested every build by hand with VoiceOver. Feedback from blind and low-vision beta testers shaped the app throughout development.
