[…] correct your feed (I’ll explain how to do that in a moment), these are the three ways to make your feed, in order of my recommendation. 1. PowerPress feed PowerPress automatically provides a podcast-only feed. It will usually look like “theaudacitytopodcast.com/feed/podcast/” (assuming you have your permalinks set to something other than the defaults). Find it under PowerPress > Settings > Feeds > Podcast Feeds. This is my top recommendation for a podcast-only feed because you can do great things with this feed. Activate PowerPress’s Custom Channels to change the title or enable the “Feed Episode Maximizer.” By default, this will grab any podcast episode you’ve entered into the “Podcast episode” widget in a WordPress post. If you run multiple formats, like audio and video (as I do), then I recommend creating a separate channel for the alternate format. With multiple channels, /feed/podcast/ would only be your default channel. If you enable the custom channels (to use Feed Episode Maximizer or change the podcast title), you don’t have to enter any extra information as it will pull from your default PowerPress settings. Or if you use FeedBurner’s SmartCast, then it will override most of the podcasting information you enter. 2. Category feeds I don’t recommend using a podcast-only category feed unless you’re running multiple podcasts through a single site. Category feeds don’t currently offer the Feed Episode Maximizer. To setup this option, create the category for your podcast. I recommend simply calling it “Podcast.” If you have more than one podcast, then create more descriptive category titles. This RSS feed would look something like “theaudacitytopodcast.com/category/podcast/feed/,” where “podcast” is the slug from your category name. If you have only one podcast on your site, then you can set your podcasting settings in the default PowerPress settings (PowerPress > Settings) and it will apply to your category feeds as long as “Enhance All Feeds” is selected (PowerPress > Settings > Feeds > Enhance Feeds). You do not need to enable Category Podcasting if you are enhancing all feeds. For running multiple podcasts on a single site, setup each category and enable the Category Podcasting feature in PowerPress. Then add podcasting to each category and enter its appropriate feed information (title, description, cover art, etc.). Now place only podcast episodes in this podcast category. Any blog posts you place in this category will still go out to your RSS feed, but this feed won’t include anything outside your podcast category. 3. Yahoo! Pipes You still have an option if you can’t use #1 or #2, or you’re using a third-party service that doesn’t give you much control. This solution uses more third-party tools and will, unfortunately, slow down how quickly your feed updates and introduce the possibility of more errors. You’ll need to use both Yahoo! Pipes and FeedBurner. Yeah, it’s that ugly. You can clone my own Yahoo! Pipe, or follow these instructions to create your own. Create a new Yahoo! Pipe. Drag in “Fetch Feed” from Sources. Enter your source RSS feed (not your FeedBurner feed). Drag in “Filter” from Operators. Click and drag the bottom handle of “Fetch Feed” to the top handle of “Filter.” Click and drag the bottom handle of “Filter” to the top handle of “Output.” Set the “Filter” module as follows. Permit items that match any of the following First rule: item.enclosure > is > Click the + button for a second rule: item.description > Matches regex > http://.+mp3 Repeat #3 for other formats in your feed (like “mp4” or “mov”) Save and run the pipe. Right-click on “Get as RSS” to copy the RSS […]
