  Certain podcasts from the Economist are not flowing through to the Pocket Casts app. I can see them on the Economist website & they have told me to use their app instead but preference is to use the one app for all my podcasts. I previously used Google podcasts & didn’t have any issues. I’m an Economist subscriber & should have full access to all podcasts. Podcasts include: https://pca.st/podcast/21f082b0-377d-013b-efb0-0acc26574db2; https://pca.st/podcast/9c854e10-26b7-012e-061c-00163e1b201c; https://pca.st/podcast/d88796b0-1a8e-0138-9fab-0acc26574db2; https://pca.st/podcast/bcc16900-33c4-0133-b637-0d11918ab357; https://pca.st/podcast/497fffa0-fd31-012e-e861-525400c11844

  After subscribing to Economists, you should be provided with a private Feed URL for the podcasts. You can enter this feed URL into the search bar of Pocket Casts and you should be able to listen to the full episodes on Pocket Casts.

  How can I access my subscription on other podcast platforms via RSS?

  1. Log in to your Economist subscription and go to The Economist’s podcasts page
  2. Navigate to your chosen show (or click Follow all podcasts)
  3. Select Other Apps and a confirmation screen will appear with instructions
  4. Copy the RSS link and add it to your podcast app—there is usually an option in the podcast app to Add URL or Add RSS to do this. Here are steps for some popular platforms:
     1. Apple Podcasts—go to Library, tap the 3 dots, tap the Follow a show by URL option, then paste the URL and tap Follow
     2. Pocket Casts—paste the URL into the search bar at the top of the page then tap the + icon
     3. Overcast—tap +, then Add URL, paste the URL and tap Add
     4. YouTube Music—go to Library then Podcasts, tap Add podcast, then Add RSS feed, paste in the URL and tap Add

  If you have previously added your RSS feed to your preferred podcast platform, and it’s now asking you to do it again, it’s likely your old feed has expired. We suggest trying to add the feed again.
