TuneIn and IHeart Radio announced a partnership that will add the 850 iHeart Radio stations on TuneIn. TuneIn and iHeartMedia Partner on Strategic Technology and Content Distribution Deal What are the differences of the 2 apps? Other apps like Audacy (formerly radio.com) has all the CBS radio stations and they do not share their content anywhere else. All 3 of these apps also have podcasts (including ours) listed too so you are seeing a trend here. They all have ads too with TuneIn and iHeart offering a premium subscription with no ads.

The Google Podcasts added a cool feature providing suggestions at the bottom of items that were discussed in a podcast.
