How can I watch podcasts on Substack on Roku? I read online that it was available but can't find it

I googled "how can I watch substack programs in Roku" and article showed up saying it was possible, but I can't find anyway on site to connect to it! No apps or streaming services on Roku. Any ideas?

    There's a ton of web sites that claim to explain how to watch "something" on a Roku. In every case I've seen, the only way it works is to screen mirror a computer, phone or tablet to the Roku. If there is no app/channel in the Roku channel store, there is zero way to watch something that isn't there. On occasion something like a podcast might be available within a different app/channel, but the article would need to state that clearly. 

    You cannot "sideload" an app that isn't available in the Roku channel store. You cannot "jailbreak" a Roku to do something outside their closed environment.

      OK then, how can we wirelessly screen mirror a laptop to the Roku? Barring that how can we do it with cables?

        Windows laptops can easily screen mirror onto a Roku. I can’t speak to other operating systems.
