RSS feeds

The address of the show itself, with nobody in between.

Paste one of these into any podcast app and it will fetch new episodes for as long as we keep publishing them. No account, no tracking redirect, no company deciding what you see.

The feeds

One per show. Copy and paste.

Each of these is generated from this site, so it is always in step with what is published here. Every episode carries its audio, its length and its description.

If you have never used a feed

It is genuinely this simple.

  1. 01Copy the address. The Copy button above puts it on your clipboard. It is just a web address that happens to be written for machines.
  2. 02Open your podcast app. Look for “Add by URL”, “Add a feed” or a plus sign. Every serious app has it, buried at slightly different depths.
  3. 03Paste and confirm. The app fetches the show, the artwork and the whole back catalogue, and checks for new episodes on its own from then on.

Why we bother

Because a feed cannot be taken away.

A platform can delist a show, change what it recommends or disappear. A feed is a text file at an address we control. If we ever move, we redirect it and nothing on your end breaks.

There is no tracking redirect in front of the audio. Your app asks our server for the file and gets the file. We know an episode was downloaded and nothing else, which is all a podcast has ever actually needed to know.

Apps that work well

Any of these will do.

On a phone

Pocket Casts, Overcast and AntennaPod all take a pasted feed in about four taps. AntennaPod is free and open source, if that matters to you.

On a computer

Apple Podcasts on a Mac takes a URL from the File menu. On Windows or Linux, gPodder is unglamorous and never breaks.

In something else entirely

A feed is a feed. If you read it in a news reader or pull it into a script, that is a use we like rather than one we tolerate.

Or read it

Every episode is also in writing.

The whole catalogue is transcribed and searchable on this site — useful when you want to quote something, or when the sound has to stay off.
