About Megaphone Downloader

Podcast networks restructure constantly, and favorite episodes can vanish without warning. Megaphone Downloader lets you save those episodes directly to your computer, preserving them in their original served format. There’s no transcoding or quality loss—what you hear is what you keep.

You don’t need to hunt for hidden feeds or rely on streaming apps. Just browse to a publisher’s page, and the extension silently identifies Megaphone-hosted audio. A simple click downloads the episode, and a desktop notification confirms when it’s ready.

Whether it’s an interview, a news segment, or a limited series, you can build your own archive. All processing happens locally in your browser—no credentials are stored or forwarded. Your collection stays yours, offline and secure.

How It Works

Download in 3 clear steps

Open the page, let the extension detect what is available, and save the file to your computer.

01

Browse to a page with Megaphone-hosted audio

Visit a publisher's podcast page, a network show listing, or any site embedding a Megaphone player. The extension runs passively in the background.

02

Extension detects Megaphone audio

It identifies Megaphone CDN URLs and media delivery patterns on the page, then surfaces detected episodes through the toolbar icon.

03

Click to download the episode

Select the episode and start the download. The original audio file is fetched directly from Megaphone's servers with no intermediary processing.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Megaphone Downloader in real workflows.

Critical tool for podcast journalism

I cover media for a trade publication and regularly reference podcast episodes in my reporting. Being able to archive Megaphone-hosted episodes locally means I don't lose sources when shows reshuffle.

Didn't realize how many shows use Megaphone

I had no idea most of my favorite shows were on Megaphone until this extension started detecting them everywhere. Downloads are clean and fast even on long episodes.

Never lose archived episodes again

A network pulled two years of archived episodes from a show I was working through. Wish I'd had this sooner. Now I download as I go — lesson learned.
