## Pocket FM Description
Pocket FM is the world's #1 audio series platform and the ultimate audio entertainment destination for 200M+ listeners worldwide. Whether you are an audiobook lover, a podcast fan, or just someone who wants great stories — Pocket FM takes you further. This is original audio fiction: episodic, binge-worthy, and built by 300,000+ creators including the world's best authors, storytellers, narrators, and voice-over artists. PocketFM reimagines audio storytelling beyond radio and FM.

With over 100,000 hours of original audio content across every genre, Pocket FM is where great storytelling lives.

A new kind of audio entertainment

Pocket FM sits at the intersection of audiobooks, podcasts, and on-demand audio streaming — and goes beyond all three. Like your favourite podcast, new episodes drop every single day across hundreds of active shows. Like an audiobook, every series is rich with character, narrative depth, and world-building. Like a live audio broadcast, there is always something fresh to tune in to. But unlike any of those, Pocket FM is built purely for binge listening — episodic, cliffhanger-driven, and impossible to stop.

Stream audio content over Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, LTE, or any mobile data connection. Pocket FM is optimised for low-bandwidth networks so the story never buffers, no matter where your signal takes you.

Genres include:

Romance
Drama
Fantasy and Sci-fi
Romantasy and Werewolf
Thriller
Horror
Mystery — new audio series added every week

Make every moment count

Your morning commute. A long drive. The gym. Cooking dinner. Bedtime. Pocket FM turns every free-ear moment into the highlight of your day. Listeners tune in for an average of 110+ minutes daily — because once a great story starts, it is impossible to stop.

Smarter listening, powered by AI

AI Recaps — Missed a few episodes? Get a personalised audio recap built from your exact listening history, so you never lose the thread of a story.

Characterbot — Go deeper into the stories you love. Chat with an AI-powered version of your favourite characters — about the plot, their world, their choices. Build a level of immersion no audiobook or podcast has ever offered before.

A world-class entertainment platform, built for every screen
