BitePods

Clip any Apple Podcasts episode

Paste an Apple Podcasts link and BitePods opens that exact episode. Mark the moment, and share a link that plays on any phone or browser, iPhone or not.

Works with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and any RSS feed or MP3 link. No account needed.

How to clip a Apple Podcasts podcast

  1. 1

    Copy the episode's link

    In the Podcasts app, press ··· on the episode, then Share Episode and Copy Link. A link to the show works too, and opens its episode list.

  2. 2

    Paste it above

    BitePods reads the episode off Apple's page — its exact title and its own audio file — so the episode that opens is the one you were listening to.

  3. 3

    Mark the moment and share

    Drag the two ends, type the times, or press Mark as it plays. Clip it and copy the link, or download the moment as an MP3 when the episode is one.

Good to know

  • Plays from the publisher's file

    Apple doesn't host the audio; the show does. The bite plays from the same file the Podcasts app plays.

  • Subscriber-only episodes

    Episodes behind an Apple Podcasts subscription are not in the show's public feed, so they can't be opened.

  • Timestamps in the notes

    Many shows list their topics with times in the episode notes. BitePods shows them as chapters, so a named moment is a bite in one tap.

Questions

Can you clip an Apple Podcasts episode?

Yes. Paste the episode's Apple Podcasts link into BitePods, mark where the clip starts and ends, and copy a link that plays just that part. It works for any episode in a show's public feed.

Can I share part of a podcast from the Podcasts app on iPhone?

The Podcasts app shares an episode, or a point in it, but not a part with an end. Copy the episode link, paste it into BitePods, and share a clip with a start and an end that plays for anyone, on any phone.

Can I download the clip?

Yes, as an MP3 of up to ten minutes, cut from the show's own file, when the episode is an MP3 (nearly all are). Nothing is kept on our side.

Do I need an account?

No. BitePods is free, with no sign-up or sign-in.
