A recent change to my schedule has me commuting an extra two hours a week. Instead of looking at the extra time as an annoyance, I decided to make more use of the Podcasts app on my iPhone. However, the more subscriptions I have, the less organized they are in the Podcasts app. I have a variety of Podcasts on my iPhone, but I don’t want to be listen to meditation Podcasts while I’m driving down the road. That’s where the ability to create your own stations comes in handy. You can organize podcasts into stations that allow you to easily find the type of podcast you want to listen to. Here’s how to organize podcasts into stations on iPhone.
