Read my lips:

An audio show that can only be played in an Apple player on an Apple device is not a podcast.

@daniel_bohrer @Klaxun @jaredwhite Nope, it's still there. I dropped my YouTube account address (https://www.youtube.com/@KevinGamin) into my Feedly and it saw an RSS feed. I was able to subscribe to it.

@kevingamin @daniel_bohrer @jaredwhite maybe it's just the app I use. Podkicker wasn't able to subscribe to that.

@Klaxun @daniel_bohrer @jaredwhite Yeah, the app might not see the videos as downloadable files, so these would not be true podcasts you could subscribe to.
