How to Link Any Podcast to a Yoto Card

Create your own podcast Yoto card by linking any podcast on the web to a MYO Yoto card.

Are you ready for some fresh Yoto content? For free?

I love making podcast cards for my kids. The great thing about podcasts is that the content is always changing. The bad thing about podcasts, the content is always changing. One reason we have a yoto is to be able to filter the media that reaches our children's ears and eyes. Finding podcasts I can trust is SUPER important, which is why I have chosen to link trusted sources that have great stories and build Biblical literacy.

Intested in doing this too?

You're in the right place. Let me show you how.

Link Any Podcast to a Yoto Card

While Yoto has a selection of podcasts in their app, there is a whole wide web of great podcasts that are available for our listening pleasure. Many, that most of us have not even discovered.

In an attempt to be gatekeepers of the content that enters our homes and our hearts, it is my desire as a mom to put podcasts in front of my kids that I know and trust. With that in mind, I set out to both find good content and learn how to link it to our MYO Yoto cards. Having podcast cards in our Yoto card library allows for changing and fresh content without continue effort from me. It's like having a fresh card each time a new episode drops.

To link a podcast to a Yoto card you will need one important piece of information: the RSS link.

You're also going to want some MakeYour Own Yoto cards. Keep in mind that MYO cards can be linked as many times as you want, so you can change which podcast they play anytime.

Where to find the RSS link

Often times you can find an RSS link on a podcast's website. It will look similar to a website address (URL) with a series of letters and special characters. It may contain words like RSS "feed" or "link".

I have included a list of RSS links to our favorite and my recommended podcasts at the end of this post, but if you can't find the one you are looking for you can find a podcast RSS feed using a third party site such as Castos or Get RSS Feed. Sometimes a good Google search can prove fruitful too. Try searching the podcast name plus RSS feed.

Paid Podcasts

If you are having a hard time finding a specific podcast, especially on certain platforms like Spotify, it may be hidden behind a paywall. These podcasts have different access options because of the subscription cost to access their content, and cannot be linked to a Yoto card.

Adding the RSS Feed in the Yoto App

Once you have the RSS feed for your podcast. It's a simple process, but slightly different than a normal MYO card.

First, you need to find the podcast tab in the app. Open up the Yoto app and navigate to "podcast" . You may have to scroll (swipe) to the side to see all the options in the menu. At the time of writing this post, the podcast tab is bright blue.

From there, chose the "add a podcast" button. This will direct you to the Yoto website "Add Podcast" page. Insert the copied RSS feed code into the box and click "Get Podcast Details". The podcast should pop up. Then select "save" to add it to your podcast menu on the app.

Linking the MYO Yoto card to a Podcast

Once you have added a podcast to the app, you can find your podcasts under the podcast tab/menu in the Yoto app. (Follow the same process to find it as you did above.)

1. Once you find the podcast you want to link, select it.
2. Under the podcast description you will find a "link to card" icon (you may need to scroll down the page depending on how long the description is).
3. Follow the prompts to link to a MYO card using either your phone or Yoto player.

That's it! You did it!

Using A Podcast Card with WIFI

Now you can use your MYO podcast card just like any other card. Use the right button on your player to select past episodes just like you select tracks on a typical card.

Keep in mind, that using a podcast card will require internet connectivity. The Yoto does not download the content to it's internal memory like it does with other cards, so without internet the MYO podcast card will not work.

Podcast RSS Feed List

I have complied a list of my favorite and trustworthy podcasts below. Simply copy and paste the text of the RSS that you desire to use (you do not need to follow the link).
