WavCast brings podcasts, live radio, and local news into one clean player. It is a client and a tuner, not a catalog. It reads open, public sources the way a browser or an RSS reader does, and streams each show or station directly to your iPhone. Nothing is hosted, mirrored, or rebroadcast, and there is no account to create.

Podcasts come from the open Podcast Index and any podcast RSS feed, so you can subscribe to anything, or paste a feed URL directly. Organize with folders, smart playlists, and bookmarks, save episodes, and download for offline. Your subscriptions and listening progress sync privately across your devices through your own iCloud.

Radio is powered by the Radio-Browser community directory, with live stations you can browse by mood, genre, country, and city, and live now-playing text as it airs. Local and world news arrive through public news feeds, both as news podcasts and as news radio, with headlines that link back to the original source.

Built for real listening: variable speed up to 3x, Smart Speed silence trimming, chapters, synced transcripts, a full equalizer, a sleep timer, and bookmarks. Lock Screen and CarPlay controls, an Apple Watch app, Home Screen widgets, and a Share Extension round it out. WavCast is free and ad-supported. WavCast Plus, 9.99 dollars a year with a 7-day free trial, adds ad-free listening, unlimited on-device AI transcripts and summaries, importing your own audio files, and per-show sound with Voice Boost and Mono-Mix.
