Add Apple Podcast link does not work
-
Hi there,
I’m trying to add https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/die-paarfl%C3%BCsterei-das-liebesleben-der-anderen/id1709435635 to the index, but https://pocketcasts.com/submit/ says it looks like a webpage (duh). Does “Enter your podcast feed URL or Apple Podcasts link” mean something else? I can’t find a pure RSS feed for the podcast otherwise. -
I ran into this myself. This is Apple’s fault, not Pocket Cast’s. I had payed for an ad-free subscription to one of my favorite shows through Apple Podcasts, but when I switched to Pocket Casts while using my work phone (Galaxy Z Fold 5), same thing happened to me.
Turns out that subscribing the way I did (and presumably you) means that Apple has it so that you can only use the subscription in Apple Podcasts. I gave them an earful over this and you should too.
In my case, a lot of my shows are on Wondery, History Hit, and Noiser, so I just subscribed on their websites directly and cancelled the Apple subscriptions. It cost a little more, but they work everywhere I want.

I found a workaround: I could subscribe to the podcast on Google Podcasts and then export an OPML file from there that Pocket Casts could use.

Thanks for the update, @madigenscom!
Good feedback @drtbell5df55239a9, much appreciated :)
As mentioned already, some paid feeds added to Apple Podcasts can’t be added to Pocket Casts using the Apple Podcasts link, you would need the actual paid RSS Feed to submit to our system.
