How to start listening to the PT Crab Podcast

Congratulations! You're a King Crab supporter about to get the PT Crab audio feed delivered to your ears. Get ready for some sweet sweet sounds. There are two ways to listen to each episode. There's an okay way, and a great way.

Okay way - Head to the Issue's page here on PT Crab. We post all the podcasts right on the PT Crab page, so you can always listen to them on our site. This totally works, but isn't ideal.

Great way - Subscribe to the podcast to have it delivered to your podcast app of choice. You've been sent an email with your own personal, private link to the PT Crab audio edition. It came from Captivate.fm, so give Captivate a search in your email inbox in case you can't find it. (If you can't find it at all, send me an email to send it again. Luke@PTCrab.org). You'll just need to copy that link into your podcast app of choice. Here's how:

Once you copy your custom RSS link, you’ll need to add it to a podcast app player or RSS app in order to listen to the episode.

In the next section, there's a list of podcast apps that work with the RSS link you’ve received.

Each podcast app differs in how you add the link to their player, so I’ve provided the instructions next to each podcast app. These instructions come from other sources, not from me. If you run into any issues, feel free to send me a message, I may be able to help solve your problem!

How to find the episodes once you subscribe

Each podcast app is different, but generally, you can find the episodes by searching for a section that says Episodes, Shows, or Library within the podcast app.

General audio RSS troubleshooting

Since the RSS link relies on 3rd party apps, you may run into a few hiccups while trying to listen to the show.

If new episodes are no longer appearing or updating in your podcast app, try the following:

  • Refresh the feed on your podcast app. Many apps utilize the pull-down feature to refresh the feed or provide a button to refresh.
  • Unsubscribe and resubscribe using the same custom RSS link from your email.
  • Uninstall and reinstall your podcast app.


If you are receiving the error message “URL/server cannot be found”. The RSS link may have been mistyped or miscopied which typically causes this error in the app. Please try copying/pasting the RSS link again.

If these troubleshooting steps don’t work. Try a different podcast app or RSS feed reader to subscribe. If this still doesn't work, let me know as it may be a problem with the feed itself.

Don't share your private link. This link is provided specially for you and contains an authorization token that links it directly to your account. If you share it with anyone, they are stealing content from PT Crab that you're paying for. And you're not someone who would steal, right? I thought so.
