What is RSS?
RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. It's a great way to subscribe to a source of information or entertainment, such as a podcast, and get brief updates delivered to you. These sources are called feeds.
By taking an RSS link and putting in into your preferred podcast app, you will be able to automatically download new episodes of your favourite 4ZZZ shows, to listen to whenever you want.
Not all podcast apps support RSS, such as Spotify, go here for a list of ones that do and don't (The apps in the 'do not support authentication' section will not work with our feeds).
