RSS feed for ARD Audiothek podcasts — n8n Workflow

Medium complexity Trigger11 nodes🏷️ Miscellaneous👁 1,534 viewsby Tom

Overview

This workflow builds a valid RSS feed (which is an XML feed under the hood) for ARD Audiothek podcasts. This allows you to subscribe to such podcasts using your favourite podcatcher without using the ARD Audiothek app.

The example builds a feed for Kalk & Welk, but the workflow can be easily adjusted by providing another podcast URL on the Get overview page HTTP Request node.

To subscribe to the feed, active your n8n workflow and then use the Production URL from the intitial Feed Webhook node
