How do I add a podcast to Radio Thmanyah?
We build the "Radio Thamanya" library to be as rich as possible, and we add podcast programs by indexing direct podcast links "RSS"; so you can find any program quickly and easily, and the app becomes your main station for all audio content. If you don't find the program you're looking for, it hasn't been indexed in our library yet, or its official source hasn't provided a direct "RSS" link for it.
You can manually add a podcast to the program library in the Radio Thamanya app in two ways:
- Search for the podcast name directly within the app.
- Add it manually via the direct podcast link "RSS".
First Method: Adding the Podcast Through Search
This is the easiest method, and we always recommend it first.
- Open the Radio Thamanya app.
- Tap the "🔍" icon in the bottom menu.
- Type the podcast name.
- Select the podcast from the search results.
- Tap continue.
The podcast will then appear in My Library, and you can easily return to it at any time.
Second Method: Adding the Direct Podcast Link "RSS"
If the podcast doesn't appear in the search results, you can add it manually through the direct podcast RSS link.
- Search for the podcast in one of the specialized databases like: "https://podcastindex.org/".
- Copy the RSS link of the podcast.
- Open the Radio Thamanya app.
- Tap the "🔍" icon in the bottom menu.
- Tap the "+" icon on the left of the search field.
- Paste the link in the designated area.
- Complete the addition by tapping "Continue".
ℹ️ The "RSS" link is what identifies the app to the podcast and automatically fetches its episodes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an "RSS" link? The "RSS" link is a unique link specific to the podcast, which helps any app recognize the podcast. If you add this link to Radio Thamanya, the podcast and its episodes will be displayed to you within the app.
2. What should I do if the manual podcast addition via "RSS" link doesn't work? If Radio Thamanya doesn't recognize the "RSS" link or the podcast can't be added, contact support.
3. Is the podcast I add manually via the direct "RSS" link exclusive to me? The podcast appears in your program library, and you can share it from within the app with any other app user. Adding the podcast doesn't necessarily mean it will appear in search results for other users.
4. Can I share a podcast in the Radio Thamanya app via a link? Yes, you can share any podcast in Radio Thamanya with others "even those you added manually" by tapping the "" icon next to the "continue" button at the top of the podcast page. Once shared, if the person taps on it and has the Radio Thamanya app, they can open the podcast page within the app and follow it.
5. What is an "OPML" file? It is a file exported from other podcast apps, containing a list of podcasts you follow in another app, and it can be used to import them into Radio Thamanya all at once.
6. When should I use an "OPML" file for import? You can use it if you want to transfer more than one podcast at once from another app to Radio Thamanya instead of adding them one by one.
7. Does my library update automatically if I change something in "Apple Podcasts" after import? No, changes you make in "Apple Podcasts" after import do not automatically transfer to Radio Thamanya, because direct synchronization between the two apps is not currently supported. For example, if you unfollow some programs in Apple Podcasts, they will not be unfollowed automatically in Radio Thamanya.
8. Why do podcasts appear in "Radio Thamanya" that don't represent Thamanya? The "Radio Thamanya" library relies on the automatic addition of podcasts via indexing publication feeds "RSS" to be rich and cover as many programs as possible. This means the library may include programs from different entities that do not represent Thamanya. We review and block inappropriate or offensive content as much as possible, but your reports to the support team help us reach them faster. If you encounter an inappropriate program, report it, and we will review the report and take the necessary action.
