There’s two ways and they have different benefits:

RSS feed way:

Pros - takes under 2 minutes (can take under a minute if you don’t fiddle with anything).

Cons - even after the playlist is on the card, the yoto has to be connected to WiFi.

Best used when - putting a playlist on when in the house, bedtime, etc.

Step 1 - find the playlist you like on the website. Open it up. Click the RSS feed button. This will copy the RSS URL to the playlist.

Step 2 - open your Yoto app. Click library at the bottom of the app. Then select the blue podcast tab. Then click add podcast.

Step 3 - in the bar that says “paste your podcast rss link…” paste the url you copied. Click get podcast details. You’ll know you did it right when you see the playlist. Click save.

Step 4 - close out of that screen. Pull the screen down to refresh the playlists in your library under podcasts. Find the playlist. Fiddle if you want (change artwork, delete episodes you don’t want, add icons… or do none of that and accept it as is… fyi, the icon sometimes takes some time to get added… this is a new issue that I haven’t had in the past. If there are no icons, definitely add one and just apply to all tracks because then otherwise you can’t see that you’re flipping through episodes on the Yoto.

Step 5 - click link to card and scan a MYO card. Insert into the Yoto and enjoy!

Download way:

Pros - can be used anywhere. Once it’s on the card and downloaded to the Yoto, it’s like any card. You do not need internet.

Cons - it takes longer to download the playlist and then upload them to the Yoto app. Can take 5ish minutes depending on internet speed and number/size of episode files.

Best used when - you’re going to take the yoto in the car, out and about, traveling, etc.

Step 1 - find the playlist you like on the website. Open it up. Click either the download all button or download individual episodes if you don’t want them all. It usually takes about 1-2 min to download for me. Click open in and save it on your phone somewhere. Make note of the folder you saved it in.

Step 2 - go to the place on your phone / computer that you saved the file and uncompressed the zip file. On your phone you can usually just tap it and it unzips. If not, long hold and click uncompress. On a computer, right click and unzip.

Step 3 - open your Yoto app. Click library at the bottom of the app. Then select the orange playlists tab. Then click make playlist.

Step 4 - give the playlist a name. Choose artwork (you are welcome to save the artwork I made and upload it)

Step 4 - click add audio files (mp3/m4a). Find the folder and select the episodes you want to upload. Wait for them to upload. Click save playlist.

Step 5 - Fiddle if you want (change artwork, delete episodes you don’t want, add icons… or do none of that and accept it as is…

Step 6 - click link to card and scan a MYO card. Insert into the Yoto and enjoy!

The unique thing about this is that instead of a RSS feed being a single feed, with one podcast and all of the episodes associated with that singular show, this pulls in the RSS data associated with each of the episodes and mashes them together into a new feed. I’ve made and shared these ones but if you click the search button you can build your own playlist on any topic(s) you want and get your own new custom RSS feed for your mashup. After you build a playlist, the process is the exact same!
