Top 5 Chrome Tools for Podcasts and the Spoken Word:
There's no better place for perusing the world's spoken-word media than Google's Chrome browser, for which numerous tools are available to make the task a rewarding one. Case in point? Although it's still in beta, the Audials Live Radio & Podcast app is a fast way to browse through podcasts, global news and talk streams. It also provides a simple way to drill down and browse hierarchically.
A desktop is a fine spot for browsing the world's spoken-word media, and the Chrome browser is a fine tool to do it with.
This week's All Things Appy takes a look at the top must-have, free apps for the Chrome browser environment. We include some for Internet radio, some for podcasts and one for quickly grabbing a podcast feed.
Google's Chrome apps and extensions for its browser are obtained in the Chrome Web Store. Select a new tab in the browser, then choose the Chrome Web Store link in the lower right corner of the page. Use the on-page search box to find the app you'd like to use.
Within Google's Chrome Web, apps are generally self-contained whereas extensions can provide pop-up functions or interact with the Web page.
Stitcher has 4 1/2 stars out of a possible 5 from 61 reviewers in the Chrome Web Store. The app has 19,386 users.
Stitcher, the service, serves you over 15,000 podcasts and radio shows and is predominantly talk- rather than music-oriented the way some of the other radio resources out there are. Strong features include discovery, where the app guesses what you like.
