Should we expect more podcast series like the companion podcast to For All Mankind? Bloomberg reported last year that Apple is investing in a range of original podcast series. As reported, Apple is starting with a TV+ companion podcast. According to the report, Apple is also planning “original programs that could eventually be adapted into future TV+ video content.” Apple also has a free Apple News Today podcast that delivers headlines to subscribers in short sound bites.
Apple is also marketing For All Mankind in a novel way with the first TV+ AR experience. For All Mankind: Time Capsule leverages Apple’s augmented reality framework on iOS to create an immersive and interactive experience on iPhones and iPads. The app takes place in between season one and season two to serve as unique bonus content for fans of the series.
Listeners can subscribe to For All Mankind: The Official Podcast for free on Apple Podcasts or through the show’s RSS feed on other podcast player apps. Read our spoiler-free review of season two and watch our interview with the cast and creators here.
