Podscribe’s RSS prefix is https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/

You can use the Podscribe prefix either before or after an existing prefix. We recommend testing the combined prefix in your browser before changing your RSS feed. For example, here's one way to use Podscribe with Podtrac:

We strongly suggest using HTTPS for all redirects. If you're unable to do so, please use HTTP for all redirects, as some podcast apps like Google Podcasts will not redirect from HTTPS to HTTP.

Scroll down further to learn how to combine the Podscribe prefix with your existing one(s). Find your publisher and follow the instructions below. For ease, click on your publisher below to go directly to those instructions below.

Self-Hosted

If you independently host your podcast, you need to add the Podscribe prefix to each enclosure url tag in the RSS feed.

Please ensure that you use the HTTPS url provided—not HTTP—if your episodes are served via HTTPS.

Sample enclosure tag without Podscribe prefix: <enclosure url="https://myhost.com/me/episode.mp3" length="123456" type="audio/mpeg" /> Sample enclosure tag with Podscribe prefix: <enclosure url="https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/myhost.com/me/episode.mp3" length="123456" type="audio/mpeg" />

To get started, you will need to have customizable prefixes enabled for your organization. If you do not have that option in the "Podcast Settings" page, please contact Megaphone via Live Chat to enable this feature.

Please follow Megaphone's instructions for custom prefixes here: http://support.megaphone.fm/podcast-tab/custom-prefixes

Click the box to “Enable custom prefix for your feed URLs”, then enter the Podscribe prefix in "Prefix": https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/

Choose a category in the dropdown menu. Save changes and you’re done! Here’s their support doc about this, if helpful.

To integrate Podscribe, email your provider's support address using the following template:

Hi __________,

I started working with Podscribe to measure my downloads and other information. To do this, I would like to add this URL prefix to all my enclosure tags:

Please treat it as you would a Podtrac prefix, so that enclosure URLs look like this: pscrb.fm/rss/p/podcasthosting.com/show/episode.mp3

Finally, please ensure that the prefix's scheme (HTTPS vs HTTP) matches the scheme of my episode files (and any other prefixes, if applicable).

Thank you!
