Patron-Specific RSS Feeds

Added 2016-09-13 21:15:59 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone,

Something pretty great just happened. I got an email from Patreon telling me about a new feature that will make things much, much easier. They've just enabled private, secure RSS feeds.

Each backer gets an individualized RSS feed that serves them the audio files they already have access to. For example, if you back at the $6 level, you can listen to the latest Exquisite Suffering and WOFFTRAX. If you back at the $20 level, you will get those shows AND Try This and Adaptation Decay. I'm led to believe that, if the $6 backer decides to up their pledge, their feed will populate with the new shows, and vice versa.

What this means is that it's now easier than ever to listen to the premium shows you back us for. Just grab the link from the Duckfeed Profile Page and drop it into whatever podcast app you use.

Two Considerations:

I'll be getting rid of the Exquisite Suffering page on SquareSpace sometime soon, since it's now redundant.
The Early Release feed will remain off-Patreon for logistical reasons, unless I can figure out a way to make it work great. You can continue to access it from this Patron-only post.

Thanks for being understanding about the clunky way I handled this stuff in the past. There truly weren't any great tools for handling private content. Patreon has done something really great by stepping up showing support for podcasters in a big way.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll need time to figure this out fully, but I hope it makes things better for everyone.
