So I like to listen to podcasts while at work. Nope, I don't find it distracting if it's specific podcasts. I like the background noise.
BeardedSpice is awesome for wiring up your Mac play/pause controls to things other than iTunes. Like thePocketcasts web app. Unfortunately it broke recently, but here's the steps to fix.
Extra bonus: it now works in the Pocketcasts Beta
Beardedspice repo issues. Sign In Github overview activity issues monsmjelde monsmjelde OPEN. The free BeardedSpice application can run in the background to control web-based media players. If it's running when you select a supported browser (Safari or Chrome) as your source, Airfoil will communicate with BeardedSpice to provide metadata and remote control of the audio in the browser.
