How to listen to YouTube in Apple Podcasts
Apple Podcasts can't play YouTube directly, but it can follow podcast RSS feeds. Convert the channel to RSS, then follow the feed in Apple Podcasts.
How to Add an RSS Feed to Apple Podcasts
Add a private podcast RSS feed to Apple Podcasts on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. This guide is for listeners following a feed by URL, not creators submitting a public show through Apple Podcasts Connect.
Pocket Casts Guide: How to Listen to YouTube Channels as Podcasts
Pocket Casts is widely regarded as one of the best podcast players, celebrated for its Trim Silence engine, Volume Boost, and seamless multi-device sync. While it cannot play YouTube URLs natively, you can easily convert any YouTube channel or playlist into a private podcast RSS feed with PigeonPod, unlocking audio-first listening with full podcast player superpowers.
Why Pocket Casts updates PigeonPod RSS more slowly
If you subscribe to a PigeonPod RSS feed in Pocket Casts, you may notice slower first-time loading, slower new episode visibility, or delayed updates to custom titles and artwork. In most cases, this is normal and does not mean your RSS feed is broken.
