podcast feed

Subscription audio channel

A podcast feed is the technical file that allows podcast apps to find and download episodes automatically.

It's a URL pointing to structured data—typically RSS format—that lists episode titles, descriptions, audio files, and publication dates.

When you subscribe to a podcast, your app checks this feed for new episodes: Copy the podcast feed URL into your preferred app.
