Published Apr 1, 2026 • Updated Apr 1, 2026

Roast delivers episodes via a private RSS feed. Add this feed URL to your podcast app to receive new episodes automatically.

Your feed URL is revealed at the end of onboarding. You can also find it on /my or /my/profile. Treat the feed URL like a password — anyone with the link can access your episodes until you rotate it.

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”.
  5. Your feed will appear in your podcast list. New episodes may take a few minutes to show.

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. Your feed will appear in Library. 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”.
  5. New episodes will appear in your library as they arrive.

Other apps

  1. Open your podcast app.
  2. Look for an option like “Add by URL”, “Add RSS feed”, or “Add private feed”.
  3. Paste your Roast feed URL.
  4. Subscribe or follow the feed.
  5. Refresh times vary by app — new episodes may take a few minutes to appear.

Troubleshooting

  • Feed not loading? Make sure you pasted the full URL including https://. Some apps strip the scheme.
  • No new episodes? Podcast apps refresh on their own schedule. Try a manual pull-to-refresh.
  • Need a new URL? You can rotate your feed URL from /my/profile. See How to Rotate Your Feed.
