If you’d like to look at episodes you’ve listened to recently, check out your Listening History!

Listening History displays the podcasts you’ve listened to on Pocket Casts in chronological order, with the latest episode at the top. This feature makes it easy for you to revisit and share your favorite podcast moments.

To view your Listening History on either the Android or iOS mobile app, follow these steps:

1. Go to the app’s Profile tab.
2. Tap “Listening History.”

The mobile apps will show the last 1000 episodes you’ve played.

You can view your Listening History on the web and desktop apps by clicking “History” on the app’s left-hand sidebar.

Alternatively, on the web app, you can directly visit this link to your Listening History.

To quickly find an episode in your Listening History in the Android or iOS app use the search bar. Search results will show up to 100 relevant episodes from the Listening History only.

1. Go to the app’s Profile tab.

4. Tap the X icon to erase the keyword.
