How to Use WaveSphere Podcasts Well

Search shows, open episodes, use speed and queue, share links, and understand that episode files stay on publisher hosts.

WaveSphere Podcasts is the on-demand half of the product. It is not a live FM replacement. Here is a full usage guide.

Enter the mode

From the sidebar or mobile “Pods” tab, open Podcasts. The UI switches: radio chrome hides, podcast branding applies, and a dock controls the active episode.

Search and select

Search hosts or topics (examples: technology, Hindi, cricket, TED). Results appear as covers. Open a show to see episodes. Pick an episode to play.

Playback controls

• Seek bar and time labels
• −15 / +30 skip
• Speed 0.75×–2×
• Share episode deep link
• Add to queue; when an episode ends, queue can continue
• Sleep timer still stops audio

Continue listening

Progress can be remembered on-device. Returning later may prompt resume. Clear site data if you need a privacy reset.

Limits

Episode files are not hosted by WaveSphere. If a publisher removes a file or blocks hotlinking, play fails. Search coverage depends on public directory APIs.
