WavCast, Podcasts, radio, and local news
Your whole listening life in one place
Podcasts, live internet radio, and local news in one clean player, on iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. WavCast streams directly from open, public sources, hosts nothing, and locks you into nothing.
iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo
Every screen
The same library laid out for each screen. On iPhone Duo, WavCast uses the whole inner display, with your tabs in the side bar and two columns that meet at the fold.
Millions of shows, zero accounts
Podcasts
Search the open Podcast Index or paste any RSS feed. Organize with folders, smart playlists, and bookmarks, download for offline, and keep subscriptions and progress in sync through your own iCloud if you turn it on.
Thousands of stations
Radio
Live stations from the Radio-Browser community directory, sorted by mood, genre, country, and city, with now-playing text as it airs and a radio alarm to wake up to.
Headlines from 150+ public feeds
News
Local and world news as news podcasts and news radio, with headlines that link back to the original source and a short daily briefing. Detect your city or pick from more than 25 metros.
Listen your way
The player
Synced transcripts you can tap to jump around, chapters, speed up to 3x, Smart Speed silence trimming, a full equalizer, and a sleep timer. CarPlay, Apple Watch, widgets, AirPlay, and offline downloads.
With Apple Intelligence
Ask This Episode
Ask about anything that was said and get an answer drawn from the transcript, with timestamps you can tap. Summaries, generated chapters, and a daily news briefing run on Private Cloud Compute on iOS 27, or on your iPhone.

Honest by default
No account. Private by design.
WavCast 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 directly to your iPhone.
