Listen to NotebookLM Audio Overviews as a Private Podcast

Private podcasts let you publish NotebookLM audio, or supported local audio, as episodes on a private RSS feed and subscribe in any podcast app that accepts a custom RSS URL. It is an online feature that requires a paid Pro licence, a connected website account and an available cloud service.

If you only need to keep the audio, use the free original audio download. The download keeps the source's actual format; it does not mean the extension transcodes audio to MP3.

How do I create a show and subscribe?

1. On the podcasts page of the workspace, create a show and set its name, description and category.
2. Choose NotebookLM audio to publish, or upload supported local audio, and check each episode's upload status.
3. Copy the show's RSS address and subscribe with your app's add a show by URL feature. System-linked app shortcuts may not be available on every device.
4. In the workspace you can play and organize episodes, and configure automatic sync and what happens after listening where those settings are supported.

Is a private RSS link encrypted?

No. A private RSS link is not end-to-end encryption. The address contains a random access token. Anyone who has the full link may read the feed and its media without signing in to your Google account. Do not put the link on a public page, in a screenshot or in a shared document.

If the link leaks, use the show's key reset to invalidate the old address, then update your app's subscription. Resetting cannot recall files that an app has already downloaded or that someone has already saved. The cloud service stores the uploaded audio, cover art and show / episode metadata; see the privacy policy.

What are the storage and file limits?

• A single audio file can be up to 100 MiB; show artwork up to 5 MiB (PNG / JPEG / WebP).
• Supported audio must pass an actual file-type check. Renaming the extension does not make a file supported.
• Deleting an episode frees its storage. Copies already cached by an app do not disappear when the cloud copy is deleted.
• One-time Pro is not unlimited cloud storage, and the two plans have different podcast capacity. See the pricing page for the actual terms and availability.

When does automatic sync run?

A show can sync by notebook, collection or tag: the extension checks for new audio and uploads it. An automation action can also publish.

Checking and publishing happen in the browser extension. They need the browser running, the extension enabled, valid NotebookLM and website access connections, and available storage. Audio is not moved from the cloud the moment Google generates it, and sync does not continue while your computer is off. If something fails, check the error in the workspace and retry.
