How to Subscribe to a Premium Podcast

@wcarle: was this updated? I still can't find the API key when I search for it.

This is what Pocket Casts is giving me. The "Show is on a break or finished" seems weird.

Thanks guys!! Worked Well.

Hey @rorie, my podcast app stopped grabbing the latest premium episode. I checked the site and think that I changed my password. So I tried re-adding the feed to my app (Overcast). It gets stuck in a loop of asking me to enter my password and never accepting it.

@rorie: NM. I figured it out.

I was actually really curious about this but I have grown to love the ads and how the staff do them. Is there any audio that is premium only?

Looks like premium feeds are not working on the web versions of Overcast and Pocketcasts. Any suggestions?

Edit: This only effects Firefox for what ever reason, so back to chrome I go!

@skryerx: I had issues the other day with the premiums podcasts on my iPhone (Podcast app).

It was asking for my credentials, but it wouldn’t take them. Performed a password reset as a sanity check and still didn’t work.

At that point, I thought maybe removing them from my library and readding may resolve my issue. However, once I removed them - I couldn’t find the premium version on the Podcast app.

I submitted a ticket to GB support and they said “Sorry, we don’t support third-party apps. Try the forums.”

So, I made a post the other day and haven’t got a response yet. I’m here now because I was going to check to see if anyone had a suggestion and I found this thread before.

Still not sure what the cause is, but having support more or less hand-wave me to the forums where I didn’t get any response is really deflating.

I recently re-subscribed to Premium during this most recent sale and I'm trying to get access to the recent Hotspot episodes on the premium feed on Pocketcasts. I am able to re-subscribe to the feed but the feed itself won't show any of the new episodes that are available since I last had premium last year. Anyone know how I can get the feed to refresh and show the latest episodes?

I'm way back in 2010 for GB Podcasts, I know I know. When I catch up and hit the premium ones, (I'm a subscriber) is it worth it? Is the audio quality that much different?

@eekim1988: I am having the same problem as you. I tried using the feeds from the page with the big list of them, but they just bring up an error, while the feeds on the individual pages bring up old podcasts and won't pull in new ones.

@talonlardner: I actually had to email Pocketcast support. They reset the links for me somehow and now I can the new podcasts.

Hey ya'll, I am trying to subscribe to the Hotspot podcast and I am following the steps mentioned but cannot find any url similar to what is described. Nothing is labeled "podcast-xml" and any url I attempt to put into itunes does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

@neorub: The RSS button next to the Download button links to this URL for me:

https://www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium

You need to add your own api_key just like the other premium feeds but the link should provide it if you're logged in.

So I (probably to my detriment) use the Google podcasts app. Up until the most recent update I was subscribed to Giant Bomb Premium Podcasts (hotspot etc) it has seemingly disappeared off of the service. I can't find it in a search etc. I also don't believe this app allows for me to enter an RSS? Has anyone ran into this or can someone check to see if the premium podcasts are still feeding to google podcasts? Thanks!

I suck at this lol i am trying to put this into podcast addict and im not sure what im looking for specifically. When i copy the line with the api code the app comes back with an error. Any help please?

Anyone found a way to fix this? Just resubscribed and having this exact problem.

@lunarbeing:I actually had to email PocketCasts support and they refreshed the link on their end and fixed the problem.

Thank you- this was super helpful. I kept on the old version until today, but the additional advertisements started to drive me bonkers (I don't mind the Jeff Gerstman advertisements, but the others, ug.)

It's absurd that it works this way. That I had to come here to figure out how to even find the RSS feed.

Why can't I add it to my podcast app via QR code? CBBW works this way. What's the deal.
