What we tried to do was to load the page as quick
as we could by having the episodes maybe for
the current month or the last five episodes possibly,
and that means that the page loads quickly. For
example, James Cridland does a podcast called
Podnews Daily that has over 2 ,000 episodes.
I'm sure you wouldn't want us to wait. for 2
,000 episodes to load before you could start
to use the page. We talked about searching for
episodes by title or finding a guest. One of
the other ways of searching for an episode is
by date. 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 fans owning 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. And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder
of TrueFans. Episode six, we looked at what
you see when looking at the screen you see when
you are looking at the podcast as a whole rather
than a single episode. And over the next few
episodes of Fanzone, we'll look in more detail
about all the things you can do from the show
screen. Just like with the episode screen, if
you scroll down, you'll see some tabs. And we've
been talking about those tabs at an episode level.
For the previous few episodes, and now moving
on, we're going to talk about that tabs at the
show level. Some of them might have the same
name, but they'll be slightly different. The
first tab we see is episodes where, not surprisingly,
you can see a list of the episodes of that podcast.
I was going to say all the episodes, but it might
not be all at first glance. I just wanted to
mention as well that in that list view, you will
see icons. They are the same icons that you see
on the episode screen. that we have talked about
in the previous few episodes. So you've got your
heart icon, your comment icon, etc. So you can
easily do those from that screen as well. So
we've clicked on that tab and I can see some
episodes. Also on this screen, I can see a search
box and a filters symbol. Can you tell me more
about what those do, please, Sam? Yes. So the
search box allows you to search for... episodes
for longer podcasts you have a view all button
at the bottom where you could see a list of all
of the episodes but it may be that it's paginated
so maybe the episode you're looking for is on
screen two three four or five so instead of you
having to click the button you could type out
the title of the episode you might be able to
type out a guest as well so for example if you've
listed a guest with your episode you can also
search for the guest within that episode. Brilliant.
And then why do I need a filters button? Under
the filters icon, you get two options. The first
one is the ability to see view all. Again, if
you want to see all episodes. What we tried to
do was to load the page as quick as we could
by having the episodes maybe for the current
month or the last five episodes possibly. And
that means that the page loads quickly. For example,
James Cridland does a podcast called Podnews
Daily that has over 2000 episodes. I'm sure you
wouldn't want us to wait for 2000 episodes to
load before you could start to use the page.
So we limit the amount. So View All gives you
that option. New would just allow you to filter
out any podcast. And you may have listened to
some of the podcasts or some of the episodes
in that podcast. And so you may just want to
see the new ones that you haven't listened to.
Resume is clearly you've started to listen to
a podcast and you now want to filter it by just
show me the podcast I've started and therefore
I can resume. And replay is I've finished this
podcast, only show me those podcasts I've finished.
Maybe I want to start listening to one of those
again. So new resume and replay are the three
states of the play button that you have and you
can filter it so you can just limit the episodes
by one of those. And I see here, once you've
clicked on filters, you can also search for a
date. Yes. So one of the things we talked about
searching for episodes by title or finding a
guest, one of the other ways of searching for
a episode is by date. So you might say, here
we are in April 2025. I know there's a podcast.
It was in January 2023. Well, again, you could
go to the bottom of this screen and click the
pagination and click, click, click, click, click
for ages. Or you just type the date in and that
will then give you the episode that you're looking
for. Brilliant. All makes perfect sense as usual.
Thank you so much. 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.
