That’s great news, I haven’t updated yet. I’m downloading it now.

It says: “Episodes in English, Spanish, French and German have transcriptions.”
But hopefully this list will expand with time.

I hope that I can copy/paste the transcriptions to LingQ, that would be probably more reliable and faster. Or maybe even import it directly.

Just updated my iOS, and opening Apple Podcasts for the first time after the update. This is what Apple promises, but as noted, it’s not for all languages yet – and not for my target Russian.

Downloading the audio should be easy enough if you have yt-dlp installed, e.g. I chose the a random episode from the website: This American Life: 825: Yousef on Apple Podcasts
And it worked just fine, yt-dlp ‘URL’
But I don’t see the transcripts on the website. I don’t have the app.

Updated as well. You can easily select all text and copy/paste it to LingQ as new lesson.
Website and Mac don’t have this update yet. It’s a matter of time.
