Episode Feeds Available on Podiobooks.com
For the last three years, we’ve had a “default” feed on Podiobooks.com that we’ve not publicized. It originally started out as a feed for sharing three episodes with your friends, but later, we expanded it to include all the episodes for a given book.
We didn’t publicize it because we thought that the majority of the folks who used the site would want a customized feed on a schedule. Initially, that was the case, but as we’ve grown, we’ve had more and more people stymied by the system, looking to subscribe via a regular RSS feed.
Now they can.
On every book page, we’ve enabled the “auto-discovery” of the default feed of every book. Hit a book detail page and look up in the bar where you’d type a new URL. See that small icon on the right hand side (I assume it’s there for IE users)? If you click it, it will give you the RSS feed for the book as-is. You can’t change the delivery time or any of the cool features of our custom feed (and that’s still there, same place on the page), but you can quickly subscribe to a book and follow along.

I assume that this feed would immediately get you all available episodes, and then any new ones as they came out.

It would, yes. Just like a traditional feed.
