Download your podcast data

Your podcast is yours. You can download every episode's audio, transcripts, chapters, artwork and episode details at any time, also after you cancel.

How to download

  1. In Podhome, open the menu under your name (top right) and choose Account settings

  2. Choose the Export data tab

  3. For each show, click Metadata & transcripts, then each Audio part

Each download is a ZIP file. Two downloads can run at the same time. If a download says the episode list changed, refresh the page: an episode was added or changed since you opened it.

What's included

Metadata & transcripts (one ZIP per show):

  • show.json: show details, categories, people and links

  • episodes.csv and episodes.json: one row per episode with the title, description, publish date, season and episode number, duration, GUID, status and audio file name. The CSV opens in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets

  • transcripts: one SRT file per episode, named like its audio file. Episodes that only have an HTML transcript get a plain text file. Transcripts hosted somewhere else are listed with their link instead

  • chapters: Podcasting 2.0 JSON chapters

  • artwork: your show artwork and episode artwork stored in Podhome

Audio: every episode with audio, including drafts and scheduled episodes. You get the clean episode file without dynamic content. Files are named by publish date, episode number and title, for example 2026-11-11 - E042 - My episode.mp3.

About 2 GB per audio part

Audio comes in ZIP parts of about 2 GB, so a big back catalog doesn't turn into one huge download. An episode is never split over two parts. A single episode bigger than 2 GB gets a part of its own. The Export data tab shows the estimated size of each part.

Who can export

Users with the Owner or Admin role on a show can download its data. Contributors see the show in the list and are asked to contact an owner. Roles are explained in Team and users.

After you cancel

Downloads keep working when your subscription has ended or your account is locked for payment. Exporting doesn't change anything in your show. Downloads by you are not counted in your analytics.

Scripted backups through the API

For regular backups, call GET /api/export_manifest on the Podhome API with your show API key in the X-API-KEY header. It lists every episode with its file name, size and a download link for the audio and, when there is one, the SRT transcript. Links work for 24 hours. Use page and page_size (up to 200) to go through a large show.

curl -H "X-API-KEY: your-key" "https://serve.podhome.fm/api/export_manifest?page=1&page_size=200"

The manifest can be called 10 times per minute for each API key. Your API key is in show settings under Integration.
