Yes. To listen to NotebookLM Audio Overviews in a podcast app, create a show on the Podcasts page of the Ultra Exporter workspace, publish the audio to it, and subscribe to its private RSS address. This output is part of Ultra Exporter Pro. You get a private RSS feed. Add its address to a podcast app that accepts custom feeds, and each Audio Overview you publish appears as an episode.

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Connect Pro: open the extension's account panel and sign in with the Google account you bought Pro with.
3. Open the workspace or the Studio panel and find the finished Audio Overview.
4. Choose **a private podcast feed** in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
5. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get a private RSS feed. Add its address to a podcast app that accepts custom feeds, and each Audio Overview you publish appears as an episode.

Anyone with the full RSS link can listen, so keep it private. If it leaks, reset the key to invalidate the old address.

## Limits to know before you export

- The download keeps the audio's actual format. The extension does not transcode audio to MP3.
- The Audio Overview must have finished generating.

## Can NotebookLM export Audio Overviews on its own?

Gemini Notebook lets you download an Audio Overview one file at a time. It has no playlist, no podcast feed and no bulk download. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it free to listen to NotebookLM Audio Overviews as a private podcast?

No. This output needs Ultra Exporter Pro, available as an annual plan or a one-time purchase. Remaining free exports cannot unlock it.

### Which podcast apps work with the private feed?

Any app that can add a show by URL, such as Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts or AntennaPod.

### Can I get a transcript of a NotebookLM Audio Overview?

The extension downloads and publishes the audio; it does not transcribe it. If you need text, add the audio back as a source or use a transcription tool.

### Can I handle several Audio Overviews at once?

The workspace lists Audio Overviews across notebooks so you can download or publish several without opening each notebook.
