FAQ: How do I add a Bulwark+ member-only feed to my podcast player?

In addition to newsletters, The Bulwark produces a number of podcasts including member-only shows and ad-free editions of our public shows. Each of these podcasts has a home on Bulwark+ site, here.

Bulwark+ members can listen to these shows through the site via your browser, via the Substack Mobile app or you can add your own private RSS feed to your third-party player of choice (like Pocket Casts, Apple Podcast, Podcast Addict or Overcast.)

There are now two routes to adding your personal RSS feed to your player app:

  1. Add shows individually or as single super feed found at the bottom of the page, here, or*

  2. Go to the show home on the Bulwark+ site and click on any recent episode. Just beneath the play button, you’ll see a link to “More Options” or “Listen on." Click the option that best suits you and follow the instructions.**

*Make sure you are logged-in to Bulwark+ with the email tied to your paid account before you add your private feed to your player, otherwise you might inadvertently add an open feed that doesn’t include ad-free and member-only shows.

** You’ll want to delete any existing free editions from your podcast player to avoid confusion.
