TUG podcasters - call to action!

[TUGBrian]

so ive recently discovered you can utilize youtube to convert your long form videos into podcast format for those of you who prefer audio listening, it was actually so easy im simply waiting for the other shoe to drop on me doing something terribly wrong here....but thats where you come in!

for those of you who subscribe or listen to podcasts regularly, does this youtube "podcast" feature work for you? or is it just showing the youtube videos themselves?

see if the link above works, and if you can slot it into your usual podcast feeds/subscriptions/etc id certainly appreciate it! if this does work it would be a super convenient way for more owners to listen to the tuesday livestreams in just audio format!

edit: if the youtube link doesnt work in your podcast/streaming platform...you can try this one: https://media.rss.com/timeshareusersgroup/feed.xml

looks like ill have to manually upload all the audio files to the big podcast networks, though hopefully tomorrow for any of you who do subscribe to those you should be able to find the Talking Timeshares with TUG podcast soon (if not already) on spotify/apple/pandora/etc.

On desktop and I think even in the YouTube app, they show up as videos.

yea, i thought perhaps i was doing something wrong as thats how it shows for me. disappointing for sure...but i suppose you get what you pay for.

sadly for all the other podcast platforms its going to require me to manually download all the audio clips from the weekly livestreams, then manually upload them. thatll take a bit! though the last 3 should all be live shortly (or at least thats what it says)

Yea, my podcast app just says it's not a valid feed URL. I think you need to provide an RSS feed of the audio files and then any app can import it. I didn't try searching in AntennaPOD though.

 

[TUGBrian]

what app do you use? did you mean trying to paste the youtube link above? yea i kinda figured that might be the case.

here is an open RSS feed you should be able to plug in: https://media.rss.com/timeshareusersgroup/feed.xml
