How to Download Apple Podcasts to MP3

Copy the Apple Podcasts show URL
Open Apple Podcasts in your browser (podcasts.apple.com) or on your iPhone. Navigate to the podcast show page. Click the Share button → Copy Link.
The URL looks like: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/show-name/id123456789
Paste into the input box above
Paste the Apple Podcasts URL into the field at the top of this page, or use the main tool.
Click "Load Podcast"
The tool queries the iTunes API to find the RSS feed associated with the show, then loads the full episode list. This takes about 5–10 seconds.
Select episodes and download
Check individual episodes or click Select All for the full series. Click Download Selected. Episodes save as MP3 files named with the show and episode title.

Tip: You can also paste the podcast's RSS feed URL directly — this is even faster than using the Apple Podcasts link and skips the iTunes lookup step.

What Apple Podcasts Can I Download?

This tool works with any Apple Podcasts show that has a public RSS feed. Nearly all podcasts listed on Apple Podcasts are publicly distributed via RSS.

✅ Any podcast listed on podcasts.apple.com
✅ Podcasts hosted on Anchor, Buzzsprout, Podbean, Libsyn, etc.
✅ Independent podcast shows with their own RSS feed
✅ You can also paste the direct RSS feed URL for the fastest download
❌ Private or password-protected podcast feeds
❌ Exclusive shows on other platforms that aren't listed on Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts vs Spotify — Which Link Should I Use?

Both Apple Podcasts and Spotify links work with this tool. In general:

Use Apple Podcasts links when the show is available there — the iTunes API lookup is very reliable and fast.
Use Spotify links when the show is only on Spotify or you already have the Spotify URL open.
Use the RSS feed URL directly if you know it — this is always the most reliable method.

If a Spotify link doesn't work, try the same show on Apple Podcasts (podcasts.apple.com) — most non-exclusive podcasts are available on both platforms.

Download Podcasts from Other Platforms

This tool isn't just an Apple Podcast downloader. It also works with:

Spotify Podcast Downloader — paste any open.spotify.com/show/... link
RSS to MP3 — paste any RSS feed URL directly for the fastest download
Other platforms — Xiaoyuzhou, Ximalaya, and any podcast with a public RSS feed

How This Tool Finds Apple Podcast Episodes

Apple Podcasts doesn't expose RSS feeds directly in their URLs, but every podcast listed on Apple Podcasts has a unique numeric ID (like id123456789 in the URL). This tool extracts that ID and queries Apple's iTunes API (itunes.apple.com/lookup) to retrieve the podcast's RSS feed URL. It then fetches the RSS feed and presents the full episode list for download.

This means the tool works even if you don't know the RSS feed — the Apple Podcasts URL is enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download Apple Podcasts episodes to MP3?

Copy the Apple Podcasts show URL (podcasts.apple.com/...), paste it into the input field above, click "Load Podcast", select the episodes you want, and click Download. Each episode saves as an MP3 file. No Apple ID or account needed.

Do I need an Apple ID to download Apple Podcasts?

No. The tool uses the public iTunes API to find the podcast's RSS feed — it never accesses the Apple Podcasts app or your Apple account. Anyone can use it, regardless of whether they have an Apple ID.

Is this Apple Podcast downloader free?

Yes, completely free. No account, no payment, no software to install. Paste the link and download instantly.

Can I download individual Apple Podcast episodes?

Yes. After loading the podcast, you can check individual episodes to download just what you want. You can also select all episodes for a batch download of the full series.

What if the Apple Podcasts link doesn't work?

Try finding the podcast's RSS feed directly. In most podcast apps, you can find the RSS feed under show info or settings. You can also search "[podcast name] RSS feed" on Google. Paste the RSS URL directly — it always works faster and more reliably than Apple Podcasts links.

Can I download Apple Podcasts on iPhone?

Yes. This tool works on iPhone and Android browsers. Open podcastdownloadrss.cn in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone, paste the Apple Podcasts link, and download the MP3 directly to your phone.

Is it legal to download Apple Podcasts episodes?

Podcasts are distributed via public RSS feeds specifically for listeners to download and listen offline — that's the technical foundation of how podcasts work. Downloading for personal offline use is standard practice. Do not redistribute or use downloaded audio commercially.
