Subscribe to a show or channel in Podcasts on iPad

In the Podcasts app, subscribe to, change, cancel, and share your podcast subscriptions. Paid subscriptions allow you to support the shows you love, and they often include premium extras, early access to new episodes, or ad-free listening.

Note: Not all subscriptions and channels are available in all countries, regions, or languages. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.

Share Apple Podcasts subscriptions

When you subscribe to podcasts channels, you can use Family Sharing to share your subscriptions with up to five other family members. Your family group members will automatically have access to the channels you subscribe to.

If you join a family group and a family group member subscribes to a show you already subscribe to, your subscription isn’t renewed on your next billing date; instead, you use the group’s subscription. If you join a family group that doesn’t subscribe, the group uses your subscription.

Note: To stop sharing a show subscription with a family group, you can cancel the subscription or leave the Family Sharing group.
