A podcast is basically a pre-recorded show that you can listen to on a smart speaker, phone or computer on a date, time and place to suit you.

There are hundreds of podcasts out there. Some by really famous people, as well as loads with normal folk like us. All are different lengths of time. Some a few minutes, but some maybe up to an hour!

The only thing you need to listen to a podcast is the internet. If you have a smartphone it’s dead easy. Look for your 'Podcasts' icon on your phone. Then open it by clicking on it. Now you can search through the podcasts, they should be FREE. Or you can listen through your computer or laptop - just type in ‘Potty Plotters Plotcast’ in the search bar or click on one of the links below.
Elaine: There are various places called podcast players where you can find podcasts, like Apple Podcasts and Spotify – they are podcast players. They store all the podcasts ready for you to listen to.
Julia: Not a penny, it’s all for FREE! People who make podcasts do it for either the love of it or for money which is made via companies who 'sponsor’ episodes.
Elaine: We just love to share our allotment passions, but if Mr Nemaslug or Mr Muckman is reading this, please do get in touch 😂
Julia: The reason we ask you to ‘subscribe’ or ‘follow’ us is, so you don’t miss any episodes. Every time you go into your podcast player (via the app for your phone, or their website if you are listening via a computer) you will get a little notification to say there’s a new episode out from us.
Elaine: We understand the anxieties about pressing a button you don’t understand. So if you’re not sure about subscribing or following us, just get your pen out and mark in your diary ‘Potty Plotters Plotcast’ every Wednesday starting from Wednesday 1st February 2023. We know that system will work!
Julia: Although we do talk a lot, each episode we release is between 20 and 30 minutes... and include; a bit of learning, hints and tips about growing plants and a good laugh too. As that is what learning should be – fun!
