Find the RSS feed of a Pocket Casts show
A Pocket Casts share link opens a show, not its feed. Paste one to get the RSS address behind it.
Links that work
- A share link: pca.st/…
- A show: pocketcasts.com/podcast/name/…
- An episode share link, which finds its show
- Web player links: play.pocketcasts.com/…
How the feed is found
- Find the show
A share link is followed to the show, and the Pocket Casts catalog gives its name, publisher, and address.
- Use the catalog
When that address is itself a feed, it's the answer.
- Match by name
Otherwise the exact title and publisher are matched in Apple Podcasts. When several shows share the name, the feed with Pocket Casts' newest episode wins.
Good to know
- Why won't a private show work?
- Private shows, such as members-only feeds, aren't in the public catalog, so there's no address to give.
- Can I check the feed too?
- Yes. The result links to the feed checker, which lists the problems that stop a show updating in podcast apps.
