Philosophy Podcasts - RSS feeds

Below are RSS feeds for various philosophy podcasts. Please note that by default, the Chrome browser doesn't render rss feeds properly, although it can be configured to do so. MS edge also doesn't display RSS feeds properly.

If you prefer to consolidate your feeds, rather than viewing one at a time, a website such as the "The Old Reader" can help. I like two features of the Old Reader: It provides a fairly generous limit of a 100 feeds for free, and it is well-suited for audio in that it usually renders mp3s in a direct play format (which most other rss consolidators don't do).
