  How do you set it up for podcasts ? Say The Darknet Diaries for instance.

    Podcasts are actually typically primarily served by RSS, whatever podcast app you are using just indexes them and manages downloads. So typically you can go to the website of the podcast, e.g darknetdiaries.com/subscribe/ and if you scroll down on the subscribe page you’ll see a link to their rss feed. Just copy the link from the feed into whatever reader you use and you’ll be updated in your reader app when new episodes are released.

      Awesome thanks. I’ll start doing this as it seems easier to manage.

    The easiest way is to use RSS for podcasts is to use a dedicated app. AntennaPod is what I use (Android) and I can’t recommend it enough, it has a search feature to find the RSS feeds for whatever podcast you like and add them to your subscriptions.

      Yeah I don’t get what he says about using a RSS feed/reader for podcasts.

      I’ll see what iOS equivalent I can find. Thanks for the pointers.

    I use AntennaPod as my client, but you can use anything.

    One can do an Internet search for the podcast name and rss to find the RSS feed.

      Thanks. This is second mention for that. I’ll see if the iOS version exists.

    A podcast client already uses RSS under the hood to get updates for your podcast subscription. I recommend AntennaPod if you use Android. Love Darknet Diaries btw!
