Sam Sethi: If you want to report an episode for any reason,
maybe the language is a bit fruity and it wasn't marked
explicit. You've listened to all
the bit that you wanted to and now you want to take it off
your queue.
Claire Waite Brown: Welcome to Fanzone, your bite sized guide to
getting the most out of the TrueFans podcast
app. In each episode we'll discuss an
aspect of the app and hopefully answer any
questions you may have about it. Plus,
when you listen to Fanzone in TrueFans, you
can earn as you listen and use your
earnings to support your favourite
podcasters. I'm Claire Waite Brown,
independent podcaster and all round podcast
enthusiast.
Sam Sethi: And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder of
TrueFans.
Claire Waite Brown: When you're listening to an episode of a podcast
on TrueFans, you will notice the
icons that are under the play or
resume button. We've already talked about
the first few of those icons and now we're going to talk
about the final icon. It's a dot, dot,
dot in a circle, which suggests
to me there's a few extras in there. Is that right,
Sam?
Sam Sethi: Correct. Yes, there are. So the first one
is very simply, if you click on it, you go
back to the show, so you go up to the podcast
level. The, uh, next one is if you want to share
this episode with friends. Oh, I really enjoyed this
episode. Share it to social media wherever you want.
You can mark an episode as played. Now, why
would you do that? Well, it may be that you've got it in
a list that you want to get through. You've listened to
all the bit that you wanted to and now you want to take it off
your queue. Remember, there's one, uh, user
setting as well that makes this really useful. You can
set that we hide all shows
that are marked as played or completed
so that you can see in a podcast episode
list what you haven't, uh, listened to yet.
Um, so you can hide stuff as well. Being marked as
played goes straight into your history tab in your
profile, so you can go and see a history of what
you listen to, how long you listen to it, and by
month as well and year. So it's a nice way of just keeping a
record of what you've been listening to. After
mark as played, there's the create note option. And, um,
we'll talk more about this in detail in a future
episode. The next one down is the
download icon, so you can download the
audio and listen offline.
And finally, if you want to report an episode for
any reason, maybe the language is a bit fruity and it
wasn't marked explicit. Or maybe there was a comment made
that you thought was wrong. Then you can report that back to
both the creator, uh, and us at, uh, TrueFans.
Claire Waite Brown: Fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks so much for listening. There are lots more episodes
of Fanzone for you to get stuck into and that show
you how to make the most of the fab features that this
forward looking podcast app has to offer
podcast listeners and creators alike.
We'd love to hear from you. You can send us a comment
on TrueFans, more about that in the Fanzone
episode on comments or email
suppor@truefans.
