Using your Personal RSS feed

Congrats! You have become a supporter of an awesome podcast! Now, you need to subscribe to your personal RSS Feed through your favorite podcasting app. We can help you with that!

Understanding your RSS Feed

Podcasts use RSS Feeds to store and share information. The personal RSS Feed that you have contains the premium content that you have access to because you are a supporter of the podcast. It is important that you don't share the RSS Feed because it is personal to you.

You can find your personal RSS Feed URL on your subscriber settings page.

Using your RSS Feed in Podcasting Apps

Now that you understand what this RSS Feed does, you can subscribe to it through your favorite podcasting app to access premium content on the go. The easiest way to do this is to click on the app icon shown on your Subscription Confirmation Page and scan the QR code with your phone. That will take you to the listening app, and allow you to subscribe to your Personal RSS Feed.

Note: Not all listening apps support a personal RSS Feed. That includes Spotify, PodBean, Podcast App, Podomatic, DoublePod, PodcastHD, and PodcastOne.

Manually Subscribe to Your Personal RSS Feed

If you can't scan the QR code, then just copy the RSS Feed URL and head to your preferred podcasting app. Just click Copy Link below the QR code to get your Personal RSS Feed URL. Then take that to your favorite listening app and subscribe directly to that feed!
