As part of this, it has received a total revamp, separating its tabs into three sections: Home, Explore, and Activity. Under the Home tab, you’ll see your favorite podcasts that you’ve subscribed to, making it far easier to access your frequent listens. With the Explore tab, as you might have guessed, is where you search for podcasts. You’ll also be fed recommendations based on your past listening and favorited podcasts. The third and final tab, Activity, provides you with a combined overview of your listening history, anything in your queue, and any downloads you have going. This whole redesign is a welcomed one, and with the current coronavirus pandemic, the release on iOS is certainly timely for those looking to listen to their favorite personalities while working from home.
