Playing podcasts inside an iOS app

Is there a way to fetch the user's Podcasts app library and display the podcasts they're subscribed to, identify them somehow, and use that identification to play them later from inside my app (either getting an audio file to put into an AVPlayer or somethign, or playing them through maybe a player class desgiend for podcasts), without going into the Podcasts app itself?

This is way outside of my area of expertise, but the Media Player framework does not you get podcast info. I’ve never used it myself, so I can’t offer any concrete advice, but it’s a place to start.
