What to do if the source is unavailable
A podcast show landing page might not be the RSS URL; subscription-only audio and unavailable enclosures cannot be imported anonymously. Upload a permitted episode MP3 or choose a feed import and optional Follow in Sources.
When LongScribe helps with Podbean
Podbean AI Content Assistant already generates transcripts and chapter markers. LongScribe is an independent public RSS importer for selecting and exporting episodes.
RSS-first support
Podbean support is feed-based. LongScribe does not assume every marketing page or private dashboard URL is playable; the feed must expose public media enclosures.
Good for recurring shows
Saved Sources can deduplicate episodes, cap imports per check, and keep a podcast archive searchable inside LongScribe.
Access controls still apply
Private feeds, paid-only feeds, expired links, blocked media and over-large feeds can fail closed rather than being guessed.
Example prompt after transcription
Ask Library: compare how this podcast discussed a topic across recent episodes and show supporting transcript excerpts.
Use Sources for recurring podcasts
Open Sources to preview a feed and choose whether to import once or follow future episodes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste the Podbean RSS feed into the one-off URL box?
No. RSS is a list of episodes, not audio. Use Sources to preview episode enclosures and choose the ones to import.
What if the Podbean feed cannot be imported?
A podcast show landing page might not be the RSS URL; subscription-only audio and unavailable enclosures cannot be imported anonymously. Upload a permitted episode MP3 or choose a feed import and optional Follow in Sources.
Can LongScribe transcribe Podbean podcasts?
Yes, when you open Sources with a reachable public RSS feed and select episodes with accessible media enclosures.
Can I follow the feed for new episodes?
Yes on paid accounts by saving the feed as a Source and enabling Follow.
Does this bypass private podcast access?
No. LongScribe only uses public media URLs the feed exposes and validates redirect targets before download.
