Podcast Search & Playlist Builder

Hi everyone 👋

I wanted to share a tool I’ve been building that makes it easier to find exactly the podcast episodes you want and get them onto Yoto the way you want - without managing audio files or relying on a desktop-only workflow.

In my testing, this also helps overcome some of the issues with podcasts not playing properly on Yoto.

🔗 Use the tool: https://kidspodcasts.com

✨ Key Features:

  • Cross-podcast search & discovery - fuel your child’s interests by finding relevant episodes across 100+ podcasts

  • Filter by age brackets - no more guessing if something is age-appropriate

  • Mix & match episodes from different shows and topics to build a custom playlist

  • Mobile-friendly - no installation, desktop browser, or extension required (works on mobile, tablet, and desktop)

  • Easy MYO card setup - generate a custom RSS feed to load playlists onto MYO cards (no file wrangling so you can make a bedtime card in under 1 minute!)

  • Offline option - bulk-download episodes if you prefer offline listening

  • Fixes playback issues - helps overcome Yoto playability problems with many “problem” podcasts

💡 Tip:

If the RSS feed isn’t generating, it’s usually because the URL is too long. I’ve set the custom RSS feed limit to 10 episodes, which is typically safe - but some podcasts have very long URLs. If this happens, try reducing the number of episodes in your playlist or download the playlist instead.

I’m continually adding new podcast feeds - if there’s something you’d love to see included, please give me a shout!

P.S. This is my first coding project, so if you have design ideas, feature suggestions, or functional improvements, I’d love your feedback. I’m learning and iterating as I go!
