Why RelayPlay Treats Podcasts Differently

Latest, Catch Up and Hold have been at the heart of RelayPlay since day one. In this episode, you'll learn why these listening modes exist and how they work together.

Shownotes

Why does every podcast have to be treated the same?

In this episode, we explore the idea behind RelayPlay and the three listening modes that have been part of the app since the very beginning.

๐ŸŽง Latest

For podcasts where staying up to date is what matters most. With Autoskip enabled, RelayPlay jumps straight to the latest episode. Without Autoskip, missed episodes are simply caught up before you're automatically back on track.

๐Ÿ”„ Catch Up

Perfect for podcasts you want to listen to from a specific starting point. Episodes are gradually added to your normal listening flow, so catching up never feels overwhelming.

โธ Hold

For podcasts you want to save for later. Whether it's for the weekend, a road trip, a vacation, or listening together with someone else, new episodes patiently wait until you're ready.

With RelayPlay 1.3, these three listening modes become even more central to the overall experience.
