Frequently asked questions

Is this the official Armstrong & Getty app?

No. This is an unofficial, fan-built companion app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Armstrong & Getty, iHeartMedia, or their affiliates. All show content and audio belong to their respective owners. For the show itself — stations, live streams, contact — visit armstrongandgetty.com.

Is the app free?

Yes. It's free, with no in-app purchases, and the app adds no ads of its own. The show's sponsor breaks are part of the episodes and play as published.

Can I listen to the show live in the app?

No. The app plays each hour after it's posted to the official podcast, usually the same morning. To listen live, see How to listen to Armstrong & Getty.

Why is the show one big daily episode instead of separate hours?

The official podcast posts each hour as a separate episode, mixed in with extras (here's how the feeds work). The app assembles everything posted for a show day into a single episode, in the order it was posted, so you can listen straight through, and you can tap any segment in the episode's segment list to jump straight to it.

Can I listen offline?

Yes. Tap Download Episode on any day and the full show is saved to your device. Downloads play with no connection at all, and the trash icon removes them when you're done.

How does Chromecast work?

Tap the Cast icon in the top-right corner and pick a speaker or TV on your Wi-Fi network. The Cast device streams the episode directly from the internet, and your phone stays the remote — you can even leave the room. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network. If no devices show up, check that your phone isn't on a guest network or a VPN. On iPhone there's also an AirPlay button, which sends the show to AirPlay speakers and TVs.

Playback stops when my screen locks — what gives?

It shouldn't: the app plays in the background with full lock-screen controls. If playback is being killed on Android, check that battery optimization isn't restricting the app (Settings → Battery), then email me if it keeps happening.

Do I need an account?

No. There's nothing to sign up for — install the app and listen. See the privacy policy for the full story on data.

Is the app available on the App Store and Google Play?

Yes — it's on the App Store and on Google Play.
