Some areas are not covered by Deezer podcast but I think we need to have ability to add RSS feed as providers share them publicly. It is my choice what I want to hear in app and won’t be re-distributed as configuration will be stored locally. Don’t know why it stucked in development! Deezer has no support of shows in Poland...messy. In this area Spotify and Itunes are much better.

Thank you for your honest feedback @SzymonKw. It has to do with territorial rights, but I'll take your comments to the right teams here at Deezer 

I don’t understand needed permissions from the artist to appear? I have private RSS feeds for podcasts from Patreon that other happs handle no problem.

After the carousel of different streaming services I’ve tried since Google Play Music, I’ve found Deezer to be the best and closest in functionality. I really, really wish there was more of a podcast selection, or the ability to add RSS so I can consolidate my music/podcast apps.

That said, I’m no lawyer nor offering legal advice, but at least with Creative Commons licensing, there doesn’t appear to be any requirements for a “podcatcher” to obtain approval from the podcaster if it’s being made public via an RSS feed. Deezer is even listed on the “Podcatchers” Wiki page as a podcatcher! 😄 So maybe something has changed in the 2-3 years this was first requested?

Also, technically you (Deezer) wouldn’t/shouldn’t be advertising/displaying user-added RSS feeds on Deezer, therefor not needing to alert the publisher. They would/should only exist within each user’s profile.

I do see how this could still be a problem IF a user tried adding a paid-subscription RSS feed they aren’t authorized to be accessing, but surely that could be covered under a few additional ToS  lines?

This is such a huge gap in functionality. Like why even include podcasts if users can’t add their own, like in EVERY other major podcatcher. It’s such an oversight, if you want me to use deezer for podcasts but aren’t offering a comparable library to other providers (through no fault of your own, I get that) then you need to let me add the missing podcasts via RSS. Is the expectation that you should use Deezer for some podcasts and spotify/google podcasts/pocketcasts for others? Why on earth would I do that? I’ll just use the other app for all my podcasts and likely switch to that music streaming service out of frustration at some point as well. The solution seems so simple and the problem seems like a pretty significant one to anyone who uses deezer and listens to a fair few podcasts.

Please !!!! 🙏

Logged in for the first time just to bump this.

This is currently the only thing stopping me from switching to Deezer!

I can have all of my favorite podcasts (including paid tiers) together with music in Spotify, and won’t be likely to switch until I can have everything in one place on Deezer.

Would love to make the switch to higher quality audio but not worth having multiple services to consume my content.

Cheers

Bump! 
:-)

This is really needed and would be worth starting to be a paid member of Deezer!

🤞for a quick solution :-)

When will manually adding the Podcast RSS Feed be implemented? I just want to be able to use Deezer to play all my Podcasts even if the creator didn't publish it like I can on Apple Podcasts that enables you to add Podcasts by RSS links.

I agree this would be handy - I love having all my audio in one app.

Hi all,

I would like to add a RSS-Url from Steady to Deezer to hear my podcasts without advertising. Is there a way?

Best

@Lechasseur I am afraid that is not possible.
Apologies for the inconvenience

That’s very bad. We NEED this!!!

5 years since the initial idea and still nothing? Come on, Deezer! 

Bumping this.

Just started using Deezer Premium and at least two podcasts I listen to often are not available, one is from the BBC. How is this possible?

Just subscribed to a podcast through Substack. They have a handy guide on adding the RSS feed to basically every other podcast provider out there, but not Deezer.

I don’t understand what is preventing Deezer from adding this functionality that everyone else has by default? Someone who distributes their podcast via Substack or Patreon, etc, does so for the pricing/payment model. Substack, Patreon, and others then provide the RSS link for you, the subscribers, to listen in your app of choice. If the link is being distributed and the ability provided to add it to apps, clearly the podcaster wants their podcast to be listened to… by paying subscribers. 5 years ago it was said the approval was needed by the podcaster to add the podcast. Providing the link to subscribers feels like a tacit agreement, approval if you will, for the subscriber to be able to listen to the podcast in their app of choice.

Another bump - I subscribe to a podcast's patreon and get an RSS feed for bonus episodes through that. Why can't I add it to Deezer?! It's putting me off committing to a paid subscription when my free trial ends.

It's a shame it's not available as it's nice having one app for podcasts and music though I appreciate this doesn't suit everyone. If you'd like to listen to your patreon stuff in your music app I'd suggest either Spotify (which works with patreon without even using the RSS link) or YouTube Music which lets you add the RSS link in the podcast library.

Thanks Rob, I'm trying out Deezer as an alternative to Spotify (don't want my subscription money going to Daniel Ek's AI war drone investments). Youtube Music might be one to try tho!
