The future of podcasting shouldn’t be locked behind walled gardens. It should be free, open, and available to everyone—on any device, without restrictions. That’s why we’re excited to announce that the Pocket Casts Web Player is now accessible to all, no subscription required.
Podcasting was built on an open, decentralized standard, RSS, which means that anyone can create, share, and listen to content freely, without needing a specific platform’s approval. But today, major platforms are shifting away from open standards, moving creators into proprietary systems that limit distribution and control discovery through algorithms.
At Pocket Casts, we stand for the open podcasting ecosystem. We believe:
By making our Web Player available to everyone, we’re reinforcing our belief that podcasts belong to the people, not corporations.
Starting today, anyone can stream any podcast episode directly from our Web Player, no account or subscription needed. Just visit the site, hit play, and enjoy.
For those who want a more personalized experience, creating a free account unlocks additional features like:
These changes also apply to our Mac and Windows Desktop Apps, giving you more ways to listen on your terms.
If you want to elevate your experience, Pocket Casts Plus offers exclusive features designed for podcast enthusiasts who want total control over their listening experience.
We’re not just making our Web Player open, we’re making a statement. Podcasting is one of the last open corners of the internet, and we’re here to keep it that way.
With this move, sharing podcasts is easier than ever. No paywalls, no closed platforms, just open links that work anywhere. Whether you’re sending a must-listen episode to a friend or embedding a show on your website, Pocket Casts remains committed to giving all podcasters, big or small, the tools to reach their audiences freely and without barriers.
If you believe in a future where podcasting remains open, and accessible to all, join us.
