How do I listen to episodes on my podcast app?

If you're subscribed as a listener to a publication, you can listen to episodes directly on your favorite podcast app.

Note: At this time, Spotify does not support private RSS feeds.

How do I get started?

Access your private podcast feed URL anytime on the settings page for your subscription.

You can add the publication to your app using a link you receive via email or you can manually add the feed URL to your app. 

Using a link sent via email (on your phone)

1. In the podcast setup email you receive from Substack, click on "Add to podcast app" and a new tab will open on your browser.

Note: If you tap your preferred podcast app and it does not load, please try manually adding the podcast feed URL to the app itself.

2. Select your podcast app and your unique private RSS feed should automatically populate in the show URL box.

3. Follow the show and you can now access episodes in your Library.

Tip: If you're a paying subscriber, episodes will be labeled "Premium" and you'll be able to play and listen to every premium episode for that publication.

Manually add a private RSS feed to your podcast app

On your account Settings page:

1. Click on the publication you'd like to listen to on your podcast app.
