Split Feed

Splitting a feed allows you to take one large show and create smaller, niche "Spin-off" feeds.

Scenario: The "Interviews Only" Feed

Imagine you have a weekly podcast that includes news updates and long-form interviews. You want to create a separate feed that contains only the interviews.

Step 1: Add Your Main Show as a Source

  1. Add your main RSS feed as a source in your project.
  2. Wait for the sync to index all your existing episodes.

Step 2: Create Your "Spin-off" Output

  1. Create a new Output Feed titled "My Show: The Interviews."
  2. Give it a specific slug like my-show-interviews.

Step 3: Selective Mapping

  1. Go to the Library and filter by your main show source.
  2. Identify the interview episodes.
  3. Map only those interview episodes to the new "Interviews" Output feed.
  4. Leave the news updates unmapped (or map them to a different output!).

Step 4: Maintaining the Split

As you release new episodes on your main show:

  1. The plugin will detect the new episode.
  2. Go to your library.
  3. If the new episode is an interview, add it to your spin-off output.
  4. If it's a news update, ignore it or add it to its respective feed.

This allows you to cater to different segments of your audience with tailored content.
