If you’re on an iPhone or iPad …

STEP 1

Launch the “Podcasts” app on your device. It’s the app with this icon:

NOTE: If you can’t find this app, swipe all the way left on your home screen until you’re at that weird Search/News page thing. Tap the search field at the top and type in “Podcasts.” Apple’s Podcasts app should show up in the search results below.

STEP 2

Tap the Podcasts app icon, and after it opens, tap the Search field at the top, or the little magnifing glass icon in the lower right corner:

STEP 3

Type the name of the show you want to rate (e.g. Is Your Head on Straight) into the search field, and press the Search button.

STEP 4

In the search results, click on our show!

STEP 5

Scroll down the page until you see Ratings & Reviews

STEP 6

Tap the purple “Write a Review” link:

NOTE: You may need to log into iTunes at this point. If so, enter your iTunes password (annoying, right?).

STEP 7

On the next screen, tap on the 5th star to the right. This is how you give the show a 5-star rating:

STEP 8

Next, press the Send button in the upper right corner of the screen. That’s it! THANK YOU!

If you’re on a Windows or Mac computer …

The computer needs to have the iTunes program downloaded and installed. It’s free, and you can download it for either Mac or Windows at this link:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Once you have that taken care of, proceed with the steps below:

STEP 1

Launch the iTunes program on your computer. The iTunes icon looks like this:

STEP 2

In the search field in the upper right corner of iTunes, type the name of the show you want to rate (e.g. Is Your Head on Straight), and press Enter.

NOTE: You should make sure the Store tab is selected, and that you are searching for “Podcasts”

STEP 3

After searching, locate the show’s image under the word Podcasts and click on it.

STEP 4

On the next page, to the right of the show’s image, there are three tabs: Details, Ratings and Reviews, and Related. Click on Ratings and Reviews.

STEP 5

Click on the 5th star to the right. This is a 5 star rating. You did it!

You can then click the “Write a Review” button below the stars and write something nice about the show.
