In the digital age we've become used to being able to access music and podcasts wherever we go. But most audio apps collect a LOT of data about you.

Apps that minimize data collection can help us regain control over our personal information, while still allowing us to enjoy the convenience of our smartphone. While these alternatives may lack some of the features or integrations of their mainstream counterparts, they better protect your privacy, and are worth considering for a privacy-aware person.

It’s important we make choices that align with our values and needs, and choosing privacy-focused apps is a good way to signal to the market that we value our privacy.

Without Naomi YouTube would be a horrendous experience.

My biggest struggle with such things is to convince my girls that the extra bit of work/inconvenience is worth it. While they see the problem of having to give up privacy, they also have difficulty dealing with the alternatives.

Great information as ever Naomi. I'm glad I don't stream music (I listen to records and CDs) and only read physical books but I do listen to podcasts. There's always something to be careful about when using it. Thank you once again.

Naomi Brockwell, Rob Broxman and the hated one the best sources of knowledge about data privacy. Thank you all for your essential contribution for our freedom and privacy.

we need Miss Brockwell and Snowden as advisors in an OS and Hardware please . that would rock 💎

[BrianThrives]

Thank you for the recommendations! Just downloaded AntennaPod.

[invisableobserver]

I don't own a cell phone, landline or even my own computer, I just click on these videos cause Naomi is so gorgeous & adorable. She does have good info to protect ourselves digitally from the dystopian narcissistic data suckers.

Beeun using Musicolet and AntennaPod on Android for a while and very happy with them. No-nonsense goodness! ;-)

[haydenkim]

Hey Nay. I love your videos. Whilst I find it difficult to action all of your recommendations I do what I can. I had a question/a video idea for you. What are the things one should do to maximise (I know they'll still get a lot of info regardless) privacy within the ios and Android systems when one first gets a new phone. For example your wifi and hotspot video was eye-opening. Something like that once done can't be undone. Thank you for your content!!!

Thanks for the lesson!! greetings from Fiji

[NicodemisFinch]

Great advice. Subscribed! I'm betting there's more where this came from.

[black_abysseus]

Ty for this! Just got a NAS and the video subject is just in time, as always, great video😊

[Bond]

The thing that puts people off messing with phones is what if something goes wrong. If it was a simple case of installing Graphene, most would do it. What stops them is not knowing if it will work and the things in place to stop you bricking a £1000 phone. Then there is how to restore it if it doesn't work.
That's the biggest barrier.

[allanpersinger]

Naomi, great episode as usual. Could you possibly do an episode about YouTube alternatives?

[S]

Love Your Content and just started reading the ebook well done

[dustoff]

Thank you for providing some alternatives to apps that insist on gather my perosnal information they have no business having.

[roadsideray]

That sucks about Spotify, thanks for the info =)

[allertvbarneveld]

I use my own Emby server for my music and movies. Its a smart idea to use a home NAS server.

Jellyfin is even more prived but I have Emby all ready installed so...

[ChefEarthenware]

Whenever I watch one of Naomi's videos, I'm reminded of what a good choice it was to not have a smartphone.

[Martin-lcsk]

I watch this channel on my phone, I guess that's essential use 😎
