How the private RSS feed works
Every StarCast account gets a private podcast feed. Subscribe once in any podcast app and every episode you create shows up automatically.
StarCast has a built-in player, but you don't have to use it. Every account gets a private RSS feed — a personal podcast that only you can subscribe to. Add it to Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or any other podcast app, and every episode you create shows up there automatically.
Why RSS?
Podcast apps already solve the hard parts of listening: downloads for offline playback, playback speed, sleep timers, position sync across devices. Instead of rebuilding all of that, StarCast speaks the protocol those apps understand. Your generated episodes sit in the same queue as your regular shows.
How it works
Your feed lives at a URL that contains a long random token:
https://starcast.ai/api/feed/<your-token>
- The token is the key. There's no login step in a podcast app, so the secret lives in the URL itself — a 32-character random string that can't be guessed or enumerated.
- Only finished episodes appear. The feed lists episodes that are ready to play, newest first, with titles, descriptions, and audio enclosures like any other podcast.
- It updates itself. Create a new episode and it appears in the feed; your podcast app picks it up on its next refresh.
Keep it private
Treat the feed URL like a password — anyone who has it can listen to your episodes. Don't post it publicly. If it ever leaks, you can rotate the token and the old URL stops working immediately; just re-subscribe with the new one.
Copy your feed URL from the studio, paste it into your podcast app's "add by URL" box, and your listen-later queue lives where you already listen.
