How To Add The Private Feed

Use the private RSS URL in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Snipd, or any client that supports private feeds.

Roast uses a private RSS feed, not a custom in-browser player.

Your feed URL is revealed at the end of onboarding, after you confirm your email and complete the setup wizard. You can also find it later on /my or /my/profile.

General steps

  1. Copy the feed URL from the onboarding wizard or /my/profile.
  2. Open your podcast app’s “Add show by URL” flow.
  3. Paste the full URL exactly.

Overcast

  1. Open Overcast on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the “+” button in the top-right corner.
  3. Select “Add URL”.
  4. Paste your Roast feed URL and tap “Add”.

Apple Podcasts

  1. Open Apple Podcasts on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
  2. Tap “Library” at the bottom.
  3. Tap the “…” (more) button in the top-right corner.
  4. Select “Follow a Show by URL”.
  5. Paste your Roast feed URL and tap “Follow”.
  6. Apple Podcasts may take up to an hour to refresh.

Snipd

  1. Open Snipd on your phone.
  2. Tap the Search tab.
  3. Tap “Add private feed” (or look for the RSS icon).
  4. Paste your Roast feed URL and tap “Subscribe”.

Other apps

Look for “Add by URL”, “Add RSS feed”, or “Add private feed” in your podcast app, then paste your feed URL.

Treat the feed like a bearer credential. Anyone with the URL can use it until you rotate it. See Podcast Player Setup for more detail.
