If you are an Audible member who also lives inside Apple Podcasts, this one is for you. Audible has officially launched a connected subscription that lets you stream nearly 700 premium titles directly in Apple Podcasts, across 135 countries, with more on the way.
What you get with Audible on Apple Podcasts?
The catalog is genuinely stacked. You get ad-free access to Audible Originals spanning true crime, investigative journalism, celebrity-led audio dramas, and personal growth series. That includes award-winning shows like Dr. Death and Hysterical, as well as star-powered productions like Kerry Washington’s The Prophecy and The Big Lie, starring Jon Hamm.
Marshall Lewy, Head of Audible Content for North America, says the goal is to meet listeners where they already are. He also said, “by making select shows and episodes available widely, we have the opportunity to introduce new listeners to the extraordinary audio storytelling Audible offers right inside the Apple Podcasts app.”
How to connect your Audible account to Apple Podcasts
If you are already an Audible member, open Apple Podcasts, and your subscription should link automatically. You can also search for any Audible premium show and connect from there at no extra cost.
New subscribers can sign up directly through Apple Podcasts by searching for a show like Dr. Death or OnlyFantasy and subscribing via the Audible app. Your membership then works across both platforms.
The connected subscription is currently live for US and UK members, with Australia, Japan, and Canada joining in June 2026.
Apple Podcasts has been on a serious upgrade spree lately, with its iOS 26.4 update bringing native video streaming, Picture-in-Picture, and offline downloads. That overhaul also introduced dynamic ad insertion for creators.
Audible, meanwhile, launched a new Standard membership plan at $8.99 per month for first-time listeners. Between the two platforms, there is a lot to look forward to as a listener.
