When you subscribe to a paid podcast, you get a private RSS feed that you can use to listen on the listening app of your choice.
You can find your private feed in the confirmation email you receive after subscribing.
Paste your private feed into the listening app of your choice. Here's how on a few popular apps:
Apple Podcasts
- Go to Library.
- Select Add a show by URL.
- Paste your private RSS feed.
Google Podcasts
- Click Add by RSS feed on the left of the page.
- Paste your private RSS feed.
Overcast
- Tap the + icon in the top right of your screen.
- Tap Add URL at the top of your screen.
- Paste your private RSS feed.
Other listening platforms
Look for an option to Add a show by URL or Add by RSS feed.
Note: Your private RSS feed only works in these listening apps that Spotify for Podcasters directly distributes to. If the app you listen to podcasts through isn't listed, we recommend listening to your subscription through Spotify as an alternative.
