Audioteria vs Podtastic

Audioteria is an app that takes you straight to audio dramas made by some of the best independent producers in the world. Not only is it convenient, but you’ll be supporting stories that their creators believe in passionately enough to want to share them with you via this unique new platform. At the moment, audio drama on other platforms tends to get lost in the melee of podcasts and audiobooks; are misbranded or labelled and easy to accidentally overlook. We want to put all that great full-cast drama listening in one easily accessible place. We will also offer enhanced audiobooks and audiobooks – made by all manner of independent, creative people and companies – but our focus is on pure drama and narrative storytelling. Most importantly, some of our audio dramas will be exclusive to Audioteria and won’t be available anywhere else. Download and start listening now!

You’ll be able to browse everything through the Audioteria app, then head to the website to purchase. After you’ve checked out (or subscribed), your drama, book or series will automatically download to your phone or tablet ready for listening straight away. You can listen offline whenever and wherever you like! A quiet afternoon on the sofa with a cup of tea, while cooking, on public transport or heading out in your car – connect via CarPlay, Bluetooth or USB and lose yourself in an audio movie.

At launch there will be a wide range of titles to choose from, but over time this will extend to hundreds more titles as well as collections from featured producers. Get listening!

The independent podcast app built for listeners, not advertising companies. Listen to more of the shows you love; your data stays private, and you control how you listen. SMART SKIP Skip past the bits other listeners skip. Smart Skip spots commonly skipped topics using aggregated listener data, so you spend more time on what matters and less on the filler. The more the community listens, the smarter it gets. SMART SUMMARIES Every podcast and episode gets an AI-generated summary that evolves over time. Discover new shows you'd never have found. Quickly decide if an episode is worth a listen, before you press play. Summaries update as podcasts grow, so you always have the latest picture. SMART TOPICS Key topics are automatically highlighted across your favourite podcasts. Jump straight to the sections you care about most. No more scrubbing through episodes looking for the good parts; Smart Topics surfaces them for you. Share a topic timestamp with a friend in a single tap. ALSO INCLUDED Skip Silence trims silences and dead air from every episode without changing how natural the host sounds. Pair it with adjustable playback speed (0.5x–3x) and pitch correction to fit even more into your day.

Your small monthly payment goes a small way to covering the costs, while sending a big message to these platforms that you want to keep podcasting open. Start free.
