Yeah, I did that. Got 404-Not Found. I wonder how many hours of my life I am expected to spend futzing around with this in order to get something I PAID MONEY FOR?

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry to see you are having an issue. Is it regarding the Audio RSS Link feed? Patreon recently alerted us to a problem some podcast feeds are having ingesting the feed. If that is the issue the best way get the feed working again is to unsubscribe/delete and the resubscribe with that url from the Audio RSS link box on the homepage patreon.com/skepticsguide - please use desktop to get the link.

Hi Tom, sorry you are having this issue. If you go to patreon.com/skepticsguide on desktop you should see the Audio RSS Link box on the right sidebar. I don't believe it is available on the mobile app even in the latest update. Let me know if you still have issues.

There's tons of great content that I can get without this bullshit.

Hi folks - been struggling with this one. I am on an iPhone, tried the above and had a few problems: an iPhone asks to "add a podcast by URL" and then when I look for the link I don't see that there is any "audio rss link" on this patreon page. I've tried adding by my link via my email and it doesn't work. I've been disconnected since January but still paying my monthly fee. Starting to get pretty annoyed. Anyone know a solution to this?

For anyone still having a problem with the RSS feed I got Podcast Addict to work again:
1) unsubscribe
2) add a podcast, the circle with the +
3) rss
4) clear the url field remembered from last time
5) go to a browser on a pc to your patreon account sgu page overview tab
6) on the right, in the "audio rss link" box, click the "Copy" link
7) paste it unformatted into something you can access from your phone, I used a new Google doc
8) back on your phone which is still in the add podcast url dialog hit home to background Podcast Addict
9) open your Google doc and copy your url
10) switch back to Podcast Addict
11) paste into the url field and press "add"
12) open the SGU podcast
13) drag down to refresh
14) long press on episode 719 since that is when the problem started
15) "Mark older episodes as Played"
16) Download and enjoy episodes since 719
Bobs your uncle

I like the idea of an appeal to drama fallacy.

FYI, had this issue and went to look for the link mentioned but it doesn't show up in the overview section on the iOS Patreon app or web page. I had to look for it on a desktop browser and send it to myself to be able to update my phone's podcast app.

Having issue for past 2 weeks of patreon rss feed not updating. Only affects SGU not other similar podcasts.
Edit: Had to delete old one and reenter different url from Overview page to make work but is ok now. (BeyondPod)

Thanks for pointing that out. I listened again and I can clearly hear Evan emphasizing the t in chlorite. I had never read or heard the word chlorite before and so my brain just converted the t to d. Even though I did rewind before the original post to make sure I had not misheard.

Except they didn't say sodium chloride, but sodium chlorite, which is the base of MMS. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement</a>

RT is not a newspaper it’s a YouTube / TV channel and a website.

Guys, sodium chloride is just plain old salt. Not bleach.
