Lots of podcasts anymore have subscriber-only exclusive episodes. Is there any reliable place to find those? I’m interested in locating the episodes for podcasts like Savage Lovecast, Swindled, Dr. Death, and Sex and Politics.
Only thing I can think of is subbing once then canceling. Download all the episodes while you were subbed. Do that once a year or so and you get a deal?
I feel like podcasts are too niche to have a scene that rips and uploads episodes.
Too niche and the people who are paying for premium podcast content also probably feel more like supporters of content creators then someone buying a big studio movie.
The only one I ever looked for was Sam Harris’s podcast. All I did was search “making sense with Sam Harris RSS”, and one of the top results was the official RSS feed lol. I was looking for a pirate feed but found the official. Which if you can’t afford it you can email and get for free so I don’t think he really cares if its that easy to find.
TLDR: try searching podcast name + RSS and maybe you’ll get lucky.
I was just looking for a solution to this last night. No luck so far though.
I’d say try requesting on private trackers of the same country/language, or trackers related to the specific subject. I’ve seen multiple packs of mainstream premium podcasts ripped from a national premium podcasts app being uploaded to some private trackers for content of the same language.
