iHeart: Music, Radio, Podcasts

Music, live radio and podcasts in one app

iHeart: Music, Radio, Podcasts brings several forms of listening together: live AM and FM radio, on-demand podcasts, music playback and personalized discovery. It suits listeners who move between local stations, talk programming and music without wanting separate apps for each. Radio content can include music, news, sports and other spoken programming, while the podcast library covers a broad range of shows and topics.

What you can listen to

• Live radio: Stream local and national stations instead of relying on a traditional tuner or a strong broadcast signal.
• Podcasts: Browse and play shows from the app’s built-in catalog, keeping spoken-audio listening alongside radio and music.
• Music discovery: Find curated listening based on your habits rather than choosing every track manually.
• Sports and talk: Follow live commentary, sports coverage and talk-radio programming where available.

Who it fits

This is a practical choice for people who want one audio hub for commuting, background listening or keeping up with familiar stations. It is especially useful if your listening changes throughout the day: a local broadcast in the morning, a podcast later and music when you want a more hands-off session. Users focused only on a simple offline music player may find its wider radio and podcast focus less relevant.
