I've listened to this a few times (usually play it for someone while we're driving) and it always makes my blood boil. Water. Just fucking water

2020-01-31 02:07:12 +0000 UTCClive - a personalized RSS feed comes with your Patreon subscription! The RSS feed is a URL / link. It’s a little tricky at first to set up but so convenient. It’s basically a copy + paste job to get your RSS link into the Apple podcast app. The easiest way for me to do it was to login to Patreon from a laptop (not my phone). The RSS link was in the top right hand corner of the podcast’s Patreon page (that may have changed now, but you’ll find it somewhere on the page). I copy and pasted that link into an email. I got on my phone to open the email and then copy and pasted the link INTO the APPLE PODCAST app. In the app, click “Library”, “Edit”, then “Add show by URL” ...you’re done! You’ll find previous Patreon content there & all new shows will automatically update when they are released. One tip: lastly, I’d unsubscribe to the main show to avoid confusion. Hope that helps! You can also try emailing the team, they may have an easier way to do it.
