![]() To subscribe and listen to the podcast please use one of the following apps. From left to right you’ll see the Pocket Casts app, Apple’s Podcasts app and my favorite which is Overcast on the right. ![]() They are now the same files in both feeds. These replace our old Enhanced podcasts and are now available from the main feed and the mp3 audio feed. ![]() MP3 Chapters from Episode 590Īll episodes from 590 onwards are now MP3 audio files with Chapters and embedded images. See, I told you it wasn’t that interesting.There are multiple ways to view the images that Martin discusses in the Podcast, so we’ve created this page to help you find the best way that suits your listening and viewing style. Note: This method will inform the new program what podcasts you’ve been subscribed to, but it won’t transfer other metadata, like which episodes you’ve already listened to/downloaded.Īnd if you’re really, really curious what exactly an OPML file looks like when you open it, here it is: Select OPML as your file format and email it to your device.Ī cursory internet search reveals that a lot of popular podcast apps support OPML, so if you’re switching apps and you’ve got A LOT of subscriptions to re-subscribe to, do take advantage of this convenience. Control-click on the “Podcasts” item in your sidebar (if the sidebar isn’t visible, you can unhide it from the View menu), and an “Export” button will appear. If you’ve been using iTunes to subscribe to Podcasts, you’re in luck. (And I’m guessing all those apps use OPML.) Pretty cool how Overcast will even recommend other apps you might like if Overcast isn’t your deal. In Settings, click on “Export OPML” and a list of compatible apps will automatically come up. Click on the “More” button at the bottom of the home screen, then click on “Tools.” Select “Export Feeds to OPML” and you’ll see the option to send the file directly to a different application, no email required (unless you really want to use email). On an android device, you might need to first save the file to your phone’s internal storage, then open it in the new app.ĭowncast for iOS makes things a little easier. Open the message on your device, click on the attachment, and then use the “send to” feature (the little box with an arrow pointing up) to send the list to your new podcasting app. ![]() Just enter an email address you can check on your iPhone or iPad, and it’ll send the OPML file as an attachment to that address. In Pocket Casts, for example, the option can be found in SETTINGS > SYNC & BACKUP > EXPORT. Look in the settings of your current/old app for the option to “export to OPML.” (If you must know, OPML is a file format that works well with RSS feeds, which are the heart of podcast subscriptions… but don’t worry about the specifics, you won’t be tested on this.) (Note: Apple’s default Podcasts app, sadly, does not allow this.) If only there were an easy way to get the new app to know what podcasts you were already subscribed to… Wait, there is! If you’ve been using a third-party podcast app like Pocket Casts, Instacast, Downcast, etc., there’s a good chance it’ll allow you export all your current subscriptions into a single file you can then import into your new app. Speaking of podcasts, let’s say you’ve gotten a brand new podcast-playing app for your iOS or Android device. ![]()
