On the importance of RSS feeds

RSS feeds are one of the information sources on the Internet that meet elementary quality requirements:

1.	RSS feeds identify their contributions with informations about publisher, authors, date and other data.
2.	RSS feeds allow users to choose publications that they are interested in. This sets them apart from information that is individually preselected or specifically designed for users.

RSS feeds for podcasts are lists (catalogs) of current audio files from a provider and their description with title, author, date, etc. These lists are standardized. You can find a representation of the RSS standard at https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html for example

In order to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed, you must first look for the Internet address of the feed. RSS feeds have a file name that is identified with the extension .xml or .rss.
The names of individual podcasts have other endings, such as the widely used .mp3 (for files in the format of the same name ). RSS feeds are not audio files themselves, but offer lists of current audio files (podcast lists).

You can subscribe to RSS feeds on various radio stations. These broadcasters usually have special Internet pages for their podcasts , on which the addresses of the RSS feeds can also be found. Commercial feed readers are usually linked to this address. You can also copy the address manually in order to paste it into other applications.
Some broadcasters display the address directly for their RSS feeds. Others hide them behind a 'subscribe' button and / or allow access via 'direct link'. Here are three examples for the address of German RSS feeds:
http://podcast.hr-online.de/hr2_doppelkopf/podcast.xml
www.swr.de/~podcast/swr2/programm/podcast-swr2-wissen-100.xml
www.deutschlandfunk.de/podcast-interviews.695.de.podcast.xml
