We added podcasting support to FrogRadio 1.4.0 for macOS and released it recently. We are now adding syncing, via iCloud, to the app which will allow you to keep your podcast subscriptions, listening positions, etc., synced up between multiple Macs running FrogRadio. The new syncing feature is in the testing phase and will be released soon.

If you have not tried listening to podcasts on FrogRadio it's quite simple! First, turn on Podcasts in Preferences. Then use the search panel to find something you want to listen to. You can enter the name of a podcast you know or try entering a subject you are interested in. Then check the search results folder to see what was found. To subscribe to a podcast, select it and the press the favorite ⭐ button. FrogRadio will the add the podcast to the Podcasts folder and show new podcast episodes as they are published.

Podcast listening is not yet supported in FrogRadio for the iPhone but that will be coming soon…

SomaFM just introduced a reggae channel! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It’s available in FrogRadio of course, just click here, after reloading stations from the File menu or restarting. The channel is called “Heavyweight Reggae”. Here is Rusty’s story of the new channel:

When Dion and I first discussed a reggae channel over a year ago, he suggested a format that "would cover Jamaican music of the 60s, 70s and early 80s, specifically, what I like to call Heavy Reggae."

As for the name and logo, Dion says "Jamaicans have lots of songs about boxers and boxing matches. Prince Buster was a boxer before his musical career took off." And Heavyweight Reggae was born.

Our first task was getting together the base music library. "So much music was created in Jamaica during this time, that the music potential is seemingly limitless. Like Soul, there is much out there that you cannot find on CD or digital formats," says Dion. SomaFM loves deep tracks and hard-to-find gems. Heavyweight Reggae pulls from the station's and his personal collection of CDs, digital and vinyl sources.

Enjoy!
