Podcast URL to share

My podcast link (when you click the share button) is currently showing the RSS feed link and not the podcast show url. How can I fix this?

That is only happening because you manually subscribed to your podcast with your RSS feed - that is how Apple Podcasts works - if you manually subscribe to a show - where you Added in the RSS feed URL under library.


If you unsubscribe - and then delete your show from your Apple Podcasts library - and then go and search for your show and subscribe / follow to it now - you will get your shows Apple Podcast ID.

That's weird as it always worked for me in the past. It's also weird because I'm annoyed that with my version of Apple Podcasts I'm blocked from detecting the RSS URL which I sometimes need for diagnostic purposes.


If you still have the email you received when your podcast was accepted that will give you the URL.


If you search for your podcast by title in Google uou may be able to locate the web preview page, the URL of which should be what you want.


Otherwise I can only suggest contacting Podcasts Support - https://itunespartner.apple.com/contact/?content_type=podcasts

You don't say which platform this is. I just tried this on Appe Podcasts on a Mac and 'Share' (in the menu from the 'three dots') prepared an email showing the image and title, and linking to the podcast page.


However as there is no 'share' button as such I would guess you are using the Podcasts App on iOS. I can't comment on this: ths best place to ask would be in the forum for it: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ios_apps/podcasts

This is on iTunes platform. So when you click the 3 dots and either choose to "share" or "copy link", it will provide the RSS link, rather than, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-strong-not-skinny-podcast-show/id1566884737 .


It needs to have the latter, because RSS link does not lead to my podcast, that's just for my set up.
