Podcasts are a great source of entertainment and information which you can listen to even while you are on the go. Mobile devices have become the popular device to use for listening to podcasts. The iPhone for example has a native Podcast app which allows you to easily choose from the different podcast categories which you can then stream or download.
If you constantly listen to podcasts you will soon notice that your phone will be running out of storage space. This usually happens if you download the podcasts into your device, especially if these are videos. To free up storage space you should delete podcasts from your iPhone that you have already listened to.
