Title: can I have a podcast feed separate from blog feed?
Post by: Ann Kelley on November 13, 2018, 12:33:50 pm
Because I have to create podcast as a post, my podcasts and blogs share the page. Can I create a separate feed for podcasts so that they are not mixed with blogs?

By default, the top level /feed/ RSS feed of your website contains everything. PowerPress creates a default podcast-only feed for you at /feed/podcast/  You can see this URL by going to PowerPress >> Settings, Advanced Mode >> Feeds tab, the URL is listed towards the top of the tab in the Podcast Feeds section.

You can also try selecting the "Do Not Enhance Feeds" option at the top of the Feeds tab. But that may not necessarily keep your podcast episodes out of the top level /feed/ RSS feed.

Thanks! If I change my podcasts (including past podcasts) to feed/podcast/ will itunes discover them automatically? My blogs show up on a wordpress page using a "blog" template. I assume that I need to create a page for the podcasts to be connected to. How do I make sure that it is connected to /feed/podcast/?

Have you already submitted a feed to Apple Podcasts? If so, what is the URL to the feed you submitted?

In powerpress settings it says this is what was submitted to Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-for-the-uprooted/id1281646856

 and that my podcast feed url is https://justmoved.org/feed/podcast/

Your Apple Podcasts is already working off of this feed URL:
https://justmoved.org/feed/podcast/

I don't see why you'd need to change anything.
