Apple Podcasts can now be streamed from the web. Apple announced on Monday that its Apple Podcasts app is now available on all major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari) in over 170 countries.  

The new dedicated web experience aims to make it easier for anyone with a web browser on any device to access podcasts.

This is the second app​ Apple has ​announced a web version for in the last month.​

Feels like someone found a (really) old to-do list and decided to knock it out.

Or, a play to appear more open for regulators (look ma, no proprietary hardware required!).

Or, Apple just finally decided to take advantage of the massive lead it had in podcasts (better late than never?).​

Or, more access points means more users means more ad dollar potential.

Or, all of the above.​
