The Race

Important update for anyone who listens to our podcasts via Spotify

Added 2025-04-24 16:45:52 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone, we have more news for you on what's going on with our feeds on Spotify, for those of you who listen to your members-only content by linking your Patreon and Spotify accounts.

Many of you will be aware that recently Patreon introduced a much-requested feature that allows us to create multiple show feeds so people can customise the shows they get served in their podcast apps of choice.

This was a welcome development that offers more flexibility. However, on Spotify, this change has resulted in the single feed that contained everything no longer updating.

If you want everything that's included in your membership tier you can still access it all, you just need to add each individual members-only show feed. As you can see below, we've created feeds for all of our shows!

These feature ad-free episodes of all the main shows, plus any members-only bonus content associated with that show.

NOTE: "The Race Members' Club" feed is no longer updating. This is the original feed you will have added when you first linked Patreon and Spotify.

We have told Patreon that we think people should have the option to have one big 'everything' feed OR to customise by picking and choosing the shows they follow.

This functionality exists when you link your feeds to other podcast apps via RSS, where there is still a 'Combined' feed that includes everything. So we are a little puzzled about why this option wasn't included for Spotify users!

We hope this update clears things up. Apologies for the confusion in recent weeks. And if you see anybody asking why their Spotify feed is no longer updating, please share this post with them if you get there before we do!

Thanks for all of your support. We want to make sure you get the best experience possible with us, and while the addition of customisable feeds was a welcome one, we've gone back and forth with Patreon on this for a month now and have made clear that we know some of our members would still like one feed that includes everything.

If the situation changes, we'll let you know!
