Wesley Fryer, writing on his Speed of Creativity blog, explains how he imports RSS feeds for podcasts from iTunes into his preferred podcast player. This is necessary because he prefers a player other than iTunes.
My situation is similar. I have an android phone and want to use the phone to listen to podcasts during our frequent, long car trips. I recommend the Fryer tutorial, but I did find one change I had to make for my situation. I could not find the URL for the podcast I wanted as described by Fryer and I am not certain why. What I found worked was to use iTunes to locate the desired podcast and then I was able to locate the URL for one episode. This address worked as a way to subscribe in my podcast player.
So, to demonstrate, I decided to use the Fryer podcast “Moving at the Speed of Creativity” (same name as his blog). The address identified in iTunes was https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast415-igniting-create/id78007370?i=316357907&mt=2. I sent this address to my phone in an email so I could copy the address to my player.
My podcast player of preference on my phone is Podcast Republic.
Podcast Republic asks that you search for the desired feed – in this case I am searching for an episode and not the collection of episodes, but this seems to work.
