How to play podcasts in the background on Xbox One

I love doing two things at once, like playing video games and listening to podcasts. And the Xbox One has become an ideal console for doing just that.

Microsoft updated the Xbox One this summer with a huge patch that introduced two important additions: background music, and Universal Windows Platform app support. The first now plays any tune during a game using programs like Microsoft’s Groove radio. UWP support, meanwhile, enables developers to release an app that works across Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox One. One developer has taken advantage of both of those capabilities so that podcasts play in the background on Xbox One.
