Idk about ios, but this works on android https://youtubevanced.com/

Ad free, plays videos in background and after closing screen

That link is fake, whoever downloads from there better compare checksums, because God knows what they may put in that APK.

The real website is vancedapp.com but the project is discontinued. Revanced on GitHub (only) is continuing development.

It's not the official site but still offers an apk that still works the same.

I meant the Lex Friedman podcast. Can that play this too?

Maybe there’s an option to download the audio off safari somehow, but it doesn’t seem like it through any of the standard controls.

It's a normal podcast (RSS feed and everything, not exclusive to any big platform to my knowledge), so you can listen to it on your favorite podcast app!

If you play it through YouTube then yes this will work
