In this episode, we provide step-by-step instructions for listeners to locate and add a podcast to their podcast application. We guide them on how to open the app and add a podcast, as well as how to initiate dictation using the side button on their phone. After adding the podcast, we discuss the options available, such as subscribing, accessing the list of episodes, and getting details of the podcast. We highlight the description of the specific podcast we’re discussing, which is “Talk tech if you’re blind or partially sighted and have an interest in technology. This is the show for you.” We express our desire for the phone to provide a summary or description during the search but mention that unfortunately, it doesn’t provide a notification. We encourage listeners to go into the podcast itself to see the details and inform them that there are 26 options available, urging them to proceed by double-tapping.
