Yourcast Bot

Yourcast Bot turns Telegram into a functional podcast player. Search for a show by name, subscribe to the ones you like, and the bot delivers episodes as regular voice or audio messages you can play with Telegram's own built-in player — including the speed controls and background playback most people already use for voice messages. There is a companion channel and chat for updates and discussion, which is a reasonable signal of an actively maintained project rather than an abandoned side effort. For someone who already lives inside Telegram and does not want to install a dedicated podcast app just to follow a couple of shows, this closes the gap neatly: no new account, no separate notification system, episodes just show up in the chat you already have open. It will not replace a full-featured podcast app with smart speed adjustment, chapter markers or offline sync for hundreds of shows, but for casual listening to a handful of favorites it works well. Because it only aggregates and delivers publicly published podcast RSS feeds rather than pirating paid content, it sits on solid legal ground — podcasts are, almost by definition, meant to be freely distributed audio.

How to start

  1. Open @yourcastbot and search for a podcast by name
  2. Subscribe to the shows you want to follow
