Download podcast episodes

Download any podcast episode as an audio file by pasting the show's RSS feed URL (or a direct audio link) — the original file is streamed to your browser and saved with a readable filename, without uploading, converting, or storing anything.

How it works

You give the tool a URL, it finds the episode audio, and your browser saves the original file:

1. Paste a podcast RSS feed URL and choose an episode, or paste a direct audio URL (.mp3, .m4a, .aac, .wav, …) to skip straight to the download.
2. The episode audio is streamed through a same-origin proxy — needed only to get past the CORS and hotlink rules on podcast CDNs, and to preserve the download filename (which browsers ignore for cross-origin links).
3. Press Download and the original file is saved to your device, named after the episode.

Nothing is uploaded, converted, or stored on our servers.

Steps

1. Find the podcast's RSS feed URL (most shows and directories link it) or a direct link to the episode's audio file.
2. Paste it into the tool and press Load.
3. Pick the episode you want (skipped automatically for a direct audio URL).
4. Optionally press play to confirm it's the right episode.
5. Press Download episode — the original audio file is saved to your device.

RSS feed vs. direct audio URL

Spotify and Apple Podcasts page links don't work: Spotify doesn't expose a downloadable audio file, and Apple page links aren't RSS feeds. Use the RSS feed URL or a direct audio URL instead.

What file you get

Example

Paste a show's RSS feed such as https://feeds.example.com/my-show.xml, choose the latest episode, press play to confirm it, then press Download episode. The original MP3 saves to your device as Episode-Title.mp3, ready for offline listening or editing.

Privacy and rights

The only server touch is a thin proxy that streams the episode file to your browser, required because podcast CDNs block cross-origin browser downloads. The audio is never persisted. Podcasts are distributed via public RSS feeds — the same mechanism podcast apps use — so downloading a public episode for personal use is generally fine; only download content you own or are permitted to save.
