Xiaoyuzhou (小宇宙播客) : Home to Chinese-language podcasts, pairing subscriptions, comments and curated picks.

Xiaoyuzhou launched in March 2020 as a standalone podcast app from the team behind the Chinese social app Jike, focused purely on Mandarin shows.

Listeners subscribe to programs, follow new episodes and leave comments tied to specific moments, while a waveform view shows where most listeners paused to make long-form talk easier to navigate.

Its audience skews to young, educated city listeners drawn to interviews, news commentary and long-form conversation. The interface and catalog are entirely in Mandarin, which limits how much non-Chinese speakers can get from it.

Can I access Xiaoyuzhou from the US?

For sure. Xiaoyuzhou is accessible from the US. The app is available on international app stores. Content is predominantly Chinese-language podcasts. The platform's recommendation algorithm and clean UI make it easy to discover quality podcasts even for intermediate Chinese learners.
