So I add the premium podcasts RSS URL to my pocket casts app and it adds a premium podcasts channel but the latest episode on it is Box Office Bomb Episode 8. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here and if it's the app's fault or the RSS
Trouble with Adding Premium Podcasts to Pocket Casts App
It looks like the latest episode in the feed is the Premium Bombcast from 9/30, as it should be. I know that there are plenty of podcast apps that don't play nice with authenticated feeds, unfortunately. You might want to try subscribing to: http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/
@rorie: Would you happen to know which podcast apps would work well with that? Looks like pocket cast is a no go
@colourful_hippie: No idea, sorry! Podcasts are not my jam.

Lies. I have used pocket casts for a years now. It works fine with it.

Might have to use an https in that url instead of http.

https will make sure your username/password are sent over the server on pocket casts securely, with encryption. It's not mandatory, but advised. Be sure to have the final forward slash in the URL, it won't accept it without it. Also, some characters within your password will break the link. I can't remember which do, so I have limited my password to just numbers and letters.
@rorie: https seemed to have made the difference, all is well now. Thanks, Rorie!
Hey all, thought I'd bump this thread instead of making a new one. I'm using Pocket Casts as well and I'm having trouble getting the latest Power Bombcast to show up on the feed. I tried using https instead of http for the subscription, but no go (Dan & Danny's Thanksgiving Adventure, is the last one). Anyone have any luck making the subscription work properly on the app? Thanks.
Just had this issue earlier this week, here's the solution from an older thread:
This link worked for me to get the premium podcast into Pocketcasts.
http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/
Just like what was said above replace 'USERNAME' and 'PASSWORD' with your own username and password.Then go to add podcast and click search then paste the whole url into the search bar.
Thanks to the guys who figured this out earlier.
@morning_br: Nice.
