How to Make Yoto Podcast Cards
For many people, the biggest hang up about getting a Yoto Player is that they don’t want to spend a bazillion dollars on building up their Yoto card collection.
Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make sure your child has plenty to listen to on their Yoto Player.
For one, there is the free music station that will play music around the clock (separate stations for day and night and you can choose what time your Yoto Player switches to the night time station).
Second, there is the free daily Yoto Podcast which has fun stories, jokes, and music.
And third, you can make your own cards with your child’s favorite podcasts so they can listen to new and old episodes anytime they want for the high high price of free!
Here’s how to make Yoto Podcast cards – it’s so simple!
How to Make Yoto Podcast Cards
First, you’ll need a Make Your Own Card (or use the card that came with your Yoto Player).
Then go to the website of the podcast you want to make a card for and look for the RSS feed (it usually has a logo that looks like this:
If you can’t find it, grab the link from Spotify or Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and pop the link in to this site which will generate the RSS link for you.
Once you have the RSS link (I promise, that was the hardest part), go to the Yoto App and choose the Podcast tab from the top.
There you’ll see a section called “My Podcasts” with a big blue button that says “Add A Podcast.” Click that blue box.
In the screen that opens, you’ll paste the RSS link and then it’ll generate the podcast. Press the orange Save button.
Now when you go back to the app, you’ll see the podcast in the “My Podcasts” section. Tap the icon for that podcast and then when it pops up, click the three vertical dots in the top right corner.
Choose “Link to a Card” and follow the instructions and voila! You have a podcast card. It’ll generally have 10-20 back episodes on the card and will update as new episodes are added (if your Yoto Player is connected to the internet).

Can you find the RSS feed for Greeking Out? Promise I’ve tried to Google it… 😉
Here you go: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ESP4751925729
Also, for reference, it’s the first result when you google “Greeking Out RSS” – click this link and you’ll see the search results so you know what you’re looking for the next time you’re looking for a podcast RSS feed: https://www.google.com/search?q=greeking+out+rss
Also, I’d love to know what you were Googling and where things went off the rails for you so I can better help prevent issues in the future!
I’m not sure what went wrong…I found the podcast on several platforms, but every time I pasted the link into the RSS finder I kept getting an error message.
My guess is you’re pasting the RSS link into the “Make Your Own” section, rather than the Podcast section. If that doesn’t work, send me an email at janssen@everyday-reading.com with a screenshot and I can help troubleshoot.
Would not car travels work for podcasts by using a hotspot from your phone so that the player could connect in the car?
We love our Yoto and the MYO card option for podcasts, thanks to you! Do you know if there is any way to load older episodes of a podcast onto a MYO card? My son loves Circle Round but is sad when some of his favorites leave the card.
I don’t know how to do that!
I tried to use the link to generate an RSS and it did not work, and unfortunately I think it charged me. We tried to Google it but with no luck. I’m looking for the Come Follow Me Kids podcast and Truth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids. Thanks.
CFMK RSS is https://anchor.fm/s/661b3db4/podcast/rss
Truth Seekers is http://www.sherilynrgrant.com/feed/podcast/
Am I able to link 2 podcasts to the same MYO card at the same time? Right now, when I link 1 podcast, it automatically deletes the other. I was hoping I could make a card of all my son’s favorite podcasts in one place.
As far as I know, no
We are new to Yoto- just gifted to my 5 year old for his NYE birthday! If I do this, am I understanding correctly that he can listen to old episodes as well as new/future episodes of his favorite podcasts? Thank you for the help! I love your site/instagram- SO very helpful!
Yep!
Hi! I am trying to look up the RSS for Nat Theo and when I go to her site and click the RSS icon, it takes me to the site for RSS and I need to sign up? It is probably something simple that I am just not getting? Thank you for any help!

Hi, I’m trying to link a Spotify playlist to a card but it won’t generate an RSS code. It’s for Disney stories https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QIEmVxbsCqPYcjcuujvkY?si=G2WuDNMGQnuVlwg3ysbjkQ
Can you help please?
I don’t think you can do it from Spotify.
