Yes it helps

Podcast backlinks can still have value in 2026 especially if the podcast is relevant to your niche and has a real audience the SEO benefits alone may not be huge but they can help with brand exposure, referral traffic and natural authority signals I would focus on relevant podcast rather than getting podcast links just for the backlink

depends on podcast bro
but yes in general they have value

podcast links are valuable & trending right now

They absolutely still have value if the podcast site has real, active traffic and contextual relevance. If they are just profile links from low tier directories, they won't move the needle, but a link from a popular show notes page brings real authority.
