# How do I listen to a podcast?

Find a show, play an episode and keep listening while you browse.

You find podcasts on the **Podcasts** page. Open it from the **Community** menu, or go to [Podcasts](/podcasts) .

1. Browse the shows, or type in Search shows.
2. Press a show to see its Episodes.
3. Press Listen on an episode.
4. Press Play.

## Using the player

- Back 15s and Forward 30s skip through the episode.
- The speed buttons play faster, up to 2x.
- If the episode has Chapters, press a chapter to jump to it.
- Some episodes have a Transcript. Press Download transcript to save it as a text file.

On a computer you can use the keyboard. Press Space to play or pause. Use the left and right arrow keys to skip, and the up and down arrow keys to change the volume.

## Listening while you browse

Once an episode is playing, a **Now playing** bar stays on screen as you move around the site. Press **Close player** to stop it.

## Carrying on later

If you stop part way, the episode page offers **Resume from** a time, or **Start over** . This is remembered on the device you used. It does not carry over to another phone or computer.
