Feed subscriptions

Point PodRead at a blog once, and new posts become podcast episodes automatically. You do not submit each article yourself.

  1. Copy the blog's address

    Copy the site's address from your browser. PodRead reads the page and finds the feed for you. If you already have the RSS or Atom link, copy that instead. Both work.

  2. Subscribe on the feed subscriptions page

    Paste the address on the feed subscriptions page and click Subscribe. The feed's latest post converts to an episode right away. When you subscribe from an episode, only the posts after it convert.

    Heads up: Older posts are not converted. If you want one, submit its URL as a regular episode from the URL tab.

  3. New posts land in your feed automatically

    We check subscribed feeds hourly, so a new post becomes an episode within the hour. Each check converts up to 3 new posts per subscription; if a feed publishes more between checks, the extras are skipped rather than flooding your podcast feed.

  4. Pause or resume any time

    Manage everything from the feed subscriptions page. Pause a feed to stop checking it, then Resume when you want it back. Each subscription shows when it was last checked and how many episodes it has created.

Paused and error states

Each subscription shows a status badge so you know what's happening.

  • Active We're checking the feed hourly and converting new posts.
  • Paused Paused means we've stopped checking. Either you paused it or you ran out of credits. Click Resume and we'll check the feed again shortly.
  • Error Error means the last several checks failed (for example, the feed moved or is down). We keep checking, and the subscription recovers on the next successful check.

Give a site its own podcast

Turn on Give this site its own podcast when you subscribe. PodRead creates a second podcast named after the site. New posts become episodes there, so they never mix with your main podcast. The new podcast has its own RSS URL, artwork, and title. Open it from the Own podcast chip on the feed row. A credit pack unlocks this.

Credits and access

Free accounts can hold one feed subscription. A credit pack removes the limit. A free account gets two episodes a month. Feed episodes count toward that monthly limit. When you reach the monthly limit, the subscription pauses. Buy credits, then resume it from the feed subscriptions page.
