What Are Audio Feeds?
As a member, you get access to special audio feeds:
- Easy German Podcast (Members Feed) Includes the Vocab Helper with translations, a link to the interactive transcript, and bonus content at the end of every episode.
- Easy German Videos (Audio Feed) Lets you listen to the audio from our YouTube videos as a podcast feed, perfect for learning on the go.
How to Subscribe
- In your podcast app, make sure you first unsubscribe from the public podcast feed and/or the Patreon podcast feed
- Sign in to the membership platform
- Head to the “Audio Feeds” settings in the membership platform:
- At the top, select which feed you’d like to subscribe to (”Easy German Podcast” or “Easy German Videos”)
- Select your preferred podcast app from the list (see below for recommendations)
- On Mobile: Tap “Open in… (Podcast App)”
- On Desktop: Scan the QR Code with your phone
- Once you are subscribed, make sure to enable “automatic downloads” for new episodes
How the Vocab Helper Works
When you listen to the Easy German Podcast Members Feed in a supported app, you’ll see the most important words and their English translations appear every minute while you listen. This feature helps you follow along with new vocabulary without leaving your podcast app.
Note: The Vocab Helper only works in any podcast app that supports mp3 chapter images. We recommend using one of these apps:
- On iPhone: Overcast, Pocket Casts or Apple Podcasts
- On Android: Pocket Casts or Podcast Addict
FAQ & Troubleshooting
I’m not receiving any new episodes
Did you join as a member via Patreon? Please make sure to delete / unsubscribe from your current podcast feed (it includes “Patreon” in the title), then re-subscribe via our membership platform as described above.
If you have not logged into our membership platform yet, you can find out how to do so in our switch guide for Patrons.
Episodes are missing from my feed
If episodes are missing from your private RSS feed, please first make sure you have an active Easy German membership in the Learner Membership or Conversation Membership:
If this is the case, please try deleting / unsubscribing from the feed and then re-subscribing to it as described above. If this doesn't help, please contact us!
Why can’t I subscribe to the members-feed in Spotify?
Spotify does not currently allow users to add private RSS feeds manually. This means our members-only feeds cannot be added to Spotify. We are working on a solution, but for now the only way to listen is by subscribing in a podcast app that supports RSS feeds.
