You're subscribed on one device but want to access your private podcast on your tablet, second phone, or other devices too. This is totally doable, but the process depends on how your creator set up your access and which apps you're using.
What You'll Accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have:
β Your private podcast accessible on all your preferred devices
β Understanding of your options for multi-device access
β Knowledge of how to sync between devices if possible
The process varies depending on your specific situation, but most solutions take just a few minutes.
Step 1: First Check If Your Podcast App Syncs Across Devices
For example, if you open Apple Podcasts on your tablet, you won't need to resubscribe. You might want to switch to a podcast player that is cross-platform. Here's a list.
Step 2: Check if your Subscribe Link Works on Multiple Devices
Some invitation links work across devices, others are single-use.
Try your existing link first:
Open your original invitation link on your new device
If it works, you can subscribe normally
If it says the link is expired or invalid, you'll need a fresh link
Step 3: Contact Your Creator for Additional Access
If your link doesn't work on multiple devices, reach out to whoever shared the podcast with you.
What to ask for:
A fresh invitation link that works on multiple devices
Or separate links for each device you want to use
They can easily generate new links from their Hello Audio account
What Happens Next
Once you're set up on multiple devices, you can listen to your private podcast anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will my listening progress sync between devices?
A: Only if you're using the same podcast app with the same account on both devices. Apps like Spotify and Apple Podcasts can sync progress, but others might not.
Q: Do I need to pay extra to listen on multiple devices?
A: No, there's no extra cost to you as a listener. Your creator controls access, and they can easily add additional devices if needed.
Q: I'm using different podcast apps on different devices. Will that cause problems?
A: Not usually, but you won't have synced progress between the apps. Each app will track your listening independently.
Multi-device listening is definitely possible. It just might require a quick message to your podcast creator to set up additional access.
