Attention! New podcast feed for The Kim Komando Show

[Komando Community]

Sorry to hear some of you are still having trouble.

Please note that not all podcast players will support adding subscription based feeds.

For iOS: Apple Podcasts, Downcast, and Overcast are the applications we have tested.

Please see my walk-through for setting up Apple Podcast by clicking here.

For Android: Podcast Addict, Beyond Pod, and Podcast Republic are the applications we have tested.

Please see my walk-through for setting up Podcast Addict by clicking here.

I am having the same problem as jjramon.

@elliot1975 What error are you getting in Downcast? I just made a walkthrough here which may help.

Apple Podcasts

We recently found a possible bug in the app when trying to test the feed: If you remove the feed and try to re-add it, the app will return an error that the URL can not be found. The only solution we found to getting the app to accept the URL again is to reset the phone. The app seems to be retaining some bad data under certain circumstances and not clearing it out. This does not happen in all instances, but we were able to duplicate this on two different iPhones. Our IT team has reached out to Apple to see if they know why this may be happening and if there is a work around.

It is worth noting that in most cases you should not encounter this error.

However, if you are getting an error in the Apple Podcasts app that says the URL can not be found, this may be the reason. In that case, you can use another app like Overcast (free) or Downcast (paid). Both support adding subscription-based feeds.

Removing the feed and reseting the phone worked. Thanks.

I couldn’t find Overcast, spent the $2.99 for Downcast and now I’m subscribed and able to listen, hooray! I’m glad it was able to be replicated and it wasn’t just me!

I sent you an email response earlier as well. I know there is a lot of information in this thread, but there are setup steps and information for multiple apps in this thread. You mentioned you are using iTunes before. For iTunes, there are only a few short steps:

Choose “Subscribe to Podcast” from the File menu and insert the podcast feed URL: https://community.komando.com/feed/tkks/
Enter the username and password you use to log into this website (community.komando.com) when prompted.

That should be it!

You can remove the old outdated feed by selecting it and then hitting the Delete key on your keyboard.

Hope that helps!
