If not Apple podcasts, what podcast app do you use?
I have used Pocketcasts for a few years now; its design has remained slick and user-friendly throughout this time. The trending podcasts section is very good, if a little slanted towards the US market. Apple podcasts (Australia) is naturally better for seeking out trending Australian podcasts.
iHeartRadio Android app.
I’m another Pocket Casts user
ICatcher!.
It’s a little outdated but does the job and I’ve got about 400 episodes of various podcasts in there that I wouldn’t know how to move to another app.
Have heard Overcast is good.

10 Speaks delves into true crime
10 Speaks has today released its first true crime podcast Where’s William Tyrrell? . The podcast, featuring 10 News First journalist Lia Harris in conversation with Natarsha Belling, investigates the mysterious disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrell from his foster grandmother’s house in Kendall, New South Wales, on 12 September 2014.
It is produced in consultation with William’s foster parents, who also feature exclusively in the podcast. It is the first time his foster parents have given an interview about the case in four years.
Lia said: “I was one of the first journalists on the scene in Kendall when William disappeared and I’ve been following the case closely ever since. I’ve become determined to uncover the truth, particularly as I have come to know his foster family so well.
“This podcast will include an unprecedented in-depth interview with his foster parents as they speak about the devastating day William went missing, what life has been like for them over the past four and a half years and what they hope for the future of the investigation. They, like me, hope this podcast will shed new light on the case and help bring them some much-needed closure.”
Network 10’s director of news content Ross Dagan said: “We have a fantastic team of journalists here at 10 and now, with 10 Speaks , we’re able to extend their talents into the audio space.
“ Where’s William Tyrrell? reflects Lia’s brilliant inquiring mind, hard work and unwavering dedication to the story. It delves deep into the baffling disappearance of William with the support of his foster parents – that is incredible access. For anyone who has followed the case, this is a must-listen fresh perspective. We all hope it helps us get closer to uncovering what happened to William, particularly in the lead-up to the August inquest.”
The podcast, researched, produced and presented by Lia Harris, is available from today on Acast, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with new episodes dropping each Monday.
Excerpts from the interview will air exclusively on 10 News First nationally on Monday at 5.00pm, with extensive supporting coverage on 10 Daily .
The launch of Where’s William Tyrrell? by 10 Speaks follows the debut of The Western Front , a weekly AFL podcast hosted by 10 News First Perth presenter Tim Gossage and reporter Lachy Reid, and The Professor and The Hack , a weekly podcast focused on politics hosted by 10’s network political editor Peter Van Onselen and national affairs editor Hugh Riminton.

Seven releases second true crime podcast: Pendulum
From the creators of one of Australia’s most talked about podcasts, The Lady Vanishes , 7NEWS has released its second true crime investigation Pendulum .
Pendulum is a Seven Studios production delving into the mysterious death of Margaret Kirstenfeldt four decades ago.
Margaret was a vibrant young woman with plenty of friends. She was a daughter, sister, wife and a mum to two small children. On the evening of February 10 1978, the body of the 21-year-old was found by a teenage motorcyclist on a neighbour’s lawn in the tiny Queensland town of Sarina. Her throat had been slashed, she was stabbed, there were signs of sexual interference and her dress was bunched around her hips.
It’s now been 41 years since Margaret’s death and the circumstances remain a mystery. Expert opinions have swung wildly and now the pendulum is swinging again - from murder to suicide and back again. This true crime cold case has baffled those closest to her. Could a killer still be on the run?
Margaret’s brutal death is the focus of a 20-month investigation by Seven’s multi-award winning Brisbane news team - 7NEWS crime editor Paula Doneman , producer and writer Sally Eeles and audio producer Marc Wright to help Margaret’s mother and siblings search for answers.
7NEWS crime editor, Paula Doneman , said: “Margaret’s family have relived a devastating chapter in their lives in the hope that the truth that has eluded them for 41 years, will finally be within their reach.”
Pendulum is available through ACAST or your preferred podcast platform.
The Lady Vanishes has been downloaded close to 4 million times. And as a result of the podcast, the investigation into the disappearance of Marion Barter is currently under review by the NSW Police Homicide Squad.
Former Seven Adelaide reporters Amy and Sophie Taeuber, who lost the jobs after alleging sexual harassment in the Adelaide newsroom (which Seven has denied), have released a new podcast called Outspoken. The sisters now own an Adelaide PR agency, The PR Bible.

I tried listening to Pendulum today however it was terrible in execution and just incredibly boring. I wanted to keep listening to see if it got any better but I ended up turning it off about 10 mins before the first episode finished.
The Lady Vanishes has also got incredibly boring and drawn out of late with no new episodes or information and just the conversations available to listen to, they should have just paused it and resumed when they had some actual news to share.
At least The Lady Vanishes is having some results with NSW Police reopening the case.
