We've improved the way you get our premium episodes!
🕑 Added 2025-02-19 17:14:01 +0000 UTCThis episode is a quick announcement to let you know that the way you get Duckfeed's premium content is changing.
Patreon now offers individual feeds of all of our backer-only shows. This gives you control over what your podcast player downloads, and what you ultimately listen to. Since Patreon itself has this feature, we will no longer be using the individual show feeds on Fireside for our premium content. Those feeds will no longer be updated.
Here's what you need to do: You will now need to subscribe to each show you want to listen to individually through Patreon. The process is very simple, just go to the Membership tab on our Patreon page. I've also created a detailed guide for you in the pinned post on our Patreon page.
The delivery of public episodes isn't changing at this time. (So to get both the public and premium episodes of Watch Out for Fireballs!, you will need to subscribe to both the feed provided on Patreon and the public feed on watchoutforfireballs.com. I apologize for this duplication, there just isn't a way to handle it better at the moment).
Very little else is changing at the moment. You will still get email notifications about every episode we post, regardless of what shows you subscribe to.
If you miss the combined feed of all of our shows, what we called the firehose, we're sorry that it went away. You can recreate the effect either by using an RSS feed combiner service, or using features in the podcast app you already use to group shows together into one list of episodes. This feature is called Stations in Apple Podcasts, Overcast calls it Smart Playlists, Podcast Addict calls it Playlists. Pocketcasts doesn't have an option for this as far as I know.
Patreon's multi-show RSS feature is still in testing, and there may be hiccups. This is also just one of many changes Patreon is making to make podcasting on their platform better for everyone, so expect more features in the near future. If you have any feedback about the experience, please write at info@duckfeed.tv.
To sweeten the pot if this change makes you want to back us for the first time, or to become a patron again, use the code MULTIFEED (all one word) to get 20% off the first month of a new subscription.

Big “THANK YOU!” for figuring this out. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Now I won’t forget about Patreon for a few months, and have to binge to catch up.

now i can fall asleep listening to RLH and not be woken up suddenly and spookedly by Unfilmable! Not bad!
Trevor Burn
This worked perfectly. Now I can properly let pocketcasts autodownload stuff from the premium feeds and not waste time cleaning up shows I don't listen to.

Pocket Casts has a filters feature that you can then pick which feeds go into it. I use it for shows that for example have a free and a premium feed to combine those into one feed.

Glad that you've found a new premium feed method that works better for you. I don't have the time to figure out podcast aggregator stuff right now, so I'm probably gonna take a break for a couple months, but I'll be wishing ya all the best and I look forward to catching up later on this year when I do have a bit more time.

Thanks for all your hard work and diligence on this, Kole! Really appreciate the thorough explanation and instructions.

Someone else asked for this as well, so I'm working on it. - K

Yeah, the episodes will be available on the Patreon website and in the app just like normal. - K

It might be taking a moment to sync with Spotify. That's all I can think is happening, since the episodes are categorized properly in our system here. - K

Will episodes still be posted on patreon I'm currently stuck fighting with patreon support because the website is being weird and not allowing me to access any of the RSS feeds

I think you need to do it in the browser. In app it's an upcoming feature.

This is excellent, thanks Ducks. One minor request--do you think it would be possible to have some sort of cover art variant for premium WOFF, just to differentiate it from the main feed? Just something as simple as inverted colors or some sort of visible mark would be helpful. But no worries if not

Idk if I’m missinh something but I don’t see every episode of bsc on Spotify anymore. Even when I specifically search for one (ep 221 for example)

All I see in the membership tab is the different tiers. A little confused. Sorry if I'm massively overlooking something.
