Most popular podcast apps support the RSS link on Android, including Beyond Pod, Google Podcasts, Podcast Addict, and others. On the iOS side, it works with Apple Podcasts, OverCast, Pocket Casts, and more. Certain apps, such as Pocket Casts, require extra steps, while others, such as PodBean and Spotify, don’t support RSS links. Refer to thedocumentation on Patreonto find supported podcast apps.
