Listen to podcasts through Plex! (Still in beta, though)
August 08, 2025
Plexis one of the most powerful media apps available today. Although most people use it to stream music, movies, TV shows, and other media they have saved on a computer (whether illegally or legally), you can now use it to stream media you don’t have saved: podcasts!
The podcast features of Plex are still in beta at the moment, but it looks like it will be perfect for you podcast addicts out there. Currently, you can listen to podcasts using the Plex Android and iOS apps, the Roku channel, and Plex on the web. Plex assures us that more platforms are coming soon. Here’s what the (newly redesigned) mobile app looks like:
One of the unique features of listening to podcasts through Plex is cross-platform playback. If you use the mobile Plex app to listen to half of a podcast while you’re driving home, you can fire up that same episode on the Plex Roku channel once you arrive. The Plex Roku channel will know where you left off and automatically start right from that spot in the episode. This is an awesome feature!
The Plex app will also let you download podcasts for offline playback, which you may do on a per-episode or even per-show basis.
