# Adding one or multiple external podcast feeds to Steady

You can add a paywall to an external RSS feed to offer it to different membership plans

Juggling multiple shows? Want to make your podcast premium without switching hosts? **Steady integrates with external podcast platforms** to give you full control over how your shows are managed and monetised, no re-uploading required.

# Through our podcast dashboard you can

-   Connect **any externally hosted podcast feed** to your Steady project
    
-   Create **separate premium feeds** for each of your podcasts
    
-   Grant access to **each feed** for a specific (or several) **membership plan(s)**
    
-   Submit feeds to **Spotify** and/or distribute them via **RSS**
    

If you only need a single feed, and aren’t tied to an external host, you can still choose to [**publish your podcast directly on Steady**](https://help.steadyhq.com/en/articles/6265624-offer-exclusive-podcast-episodes-with-the-rss-feed). But if you're looking for more advanced setup options, here’s everything you need to know.

# **How to add an externally host podcast**

1.  Go to your Steady dashboard and head to [**Podcasts**](https://steady.page/backend/publications/default/podcast/edit)  
    ​
    
2.  Click **“Add podcast"**  
    ​
    
3.  Choose where to host your podcast
    
    -   You can continue to publish and host one podcast on Steady.
        
    -   You can add unlimited podcasts hosted **externally.** Choose this option here.
        
4.  Add your **unlisted RSS feed** into the URL field.  
    ​
    
5.  To verify that you own the RSS feed, we’ll send a verification code to the **email connected with the feed.** Enter the code to proceed.  
    ​
    
6.  Select the **membership plan(s)** that should get access to this feed.  
    ​
    
7.  Decide how to distribute:
    
    -   **RSS only** — for members who prefer to listen on apps like Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or Pocket Casts
        
    -   **Spotify + RSS** — so your members can listen on Spotify too

# Managing multiple podcasts on Steady

There's no limit to the number of external podcast feeds you can add following the steps above. This means you can **handle multiple podcasts within one Steady project,** each with its own settings and access rules. Here's how to manage each of them.

-   On your [Podcasts](https://steady.page/backend/publications/default/podcast/edit) page, you will see the list of all your podcasts.  
    ​
    
-   On each individual Podcast page, you can manage which membership plan should get access to which feed.  
    ​
    
-   Your members will see one or multiple podcasts on their membership card (and on the thank you page and in the email we send to them after purchase).  
    ​  
    A membership card with two podcasts would look like this:
