Every podcast has an RSS feed. Here is how to find it.

Podcasts are the one medium where RSS is not optional: the feed IS the podcast. Apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify are just readers with a coat of paint. But most of them hide the underlying URL, so here are three ways to recover it.

How to do it

1. Look it up on the podcast's own siteMost shows link the feed in the footer or under a "Subscribe" / "RSS" icon. It usually lives on the hosting provider's domain: feeds.transistor.fm/…, rss.buzzsprout.com/…, anchor.fm/s/…/podcast/rss, rss.libsyn.com/shows/….
2. Use the Apple Podcasts catalogueApple's directory is public. Search the show on podcasts.apple.com, copy the number after /id in the URL, and query itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=NUMBER&entity=podcast — the JSON response contains feedUrl, the show's real RSS feed.
3. Paste the show's name into a readerFeed readers (including ours) resolve podcast names through the same directories. If the show exists, following it by name finds the feed for you.

Verified podcast feeds we crawl

Live feeds from our own crawler — the post counts are measured over the last 90 days, not copied from anyone's marketing page. One click follows the feed in HushFlow Reader; the URL works in any reader.

Questions people actually ask

Does Spotify have RSS feeds for podcasts?

Spotify consumes RSS feeds but does not expose them. A Spotify-exclusive show may have no public feed at all. For every other show, the feed exists at the hosting provider — find it via the show's website or the Apple Podcasts lookup.

Why would I want a podcast's RSS URL?

To follow the show in any app you choose — a feed reader, a self-hosted player, or a podcast app the show never submitted itself to — and to get episodes the moment they publish, without an algorithm in between.
