If you use Apple Podcasts, you can now catch up on your latest shows right from your browser.

Apple has launched a web app for its Podcasts app, and you can access it right now at podcasts.apple.com. The app works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, MacRumors reports.

If you’ve used the Podcasts app for Mac or iOS, the web app should feel pretty familiar: there are sections like a Browse tab where you can see featured podcasts, a Home tab where you can check out episodes from the shows you follow or that Apple thinks you might be interested in, a Top Charts tab, and more.

When I first visited the site, I signed into my Apple account, and all of the shows I follow on the Podcasts app on my iPhone were there. I can’t seem to find a way to speed up playback on the web app, which is a shame for 2x sickos like me, but I appreciate that the web app is an option, at least.

The new Podcasts web app follows the launch of an Apple Maps web app last month. Apple offers web apps for Apple Music and Apple TV as well.
