Podroll
<podcast:podroll>
This element allows for a podcaster to include references to one or more podcasts in its <channel>
as a way of “recommending” other podcasts to their listener. It’s normally shown in user interfaces as “creator recommendations”, or “shows you might like”.

Examples
<podcast:podroll>
<podcast:remoteItem feedGuid="29cdca4a-32d8-56ba-b48b-09a011c5daa9" />
<podcast:remoteItem feedGuid="396d9ae0-da7e-5557-b894-b606231fa3ea" />
<podcast:remoteItem feedGuid="917393e3-1b1e-5cef-ace4-edaa54e1f810" />
</podcast:podroll>
Above, the simplest way to use a podroll, using the one mandatory value for the remoteItem
.
<podcast:podroll>
<podcast:remoteItem
feedGuid="29cdca4a-32d8-56ba-b48b-09a011c5daa9"
feedUrl="https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/231452.rss"
title="Buzzcast"
/>
<podcast:remoteItem
feedGuid="396d9ae0-da7e-5557-b894-b606231fa3ea"
feedUrl="https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1538779.rss"
title="Podnews Weekly Review"
/>
<podcast:remoteItem
feedGuid="917393e3-1b1e-5cef-ace4-edaa54e1f810"
feedUrl="http://mp3s.nashownotes.com/pc20rss.xml"
title="Podcasting 2.0"
/>
</podcast:podroll>
Above, a recommended podroll entry. It includes the feedUrl
as well as the feedGuid
, to help podcast apps discover shows without the GUID if they need to. It also includes a title, which is helpful for humans, and potentially for display in the app.
If information differs, information discoverable from the GUID always takes precedence. RSS feeds can change; the GUID does not.
While the remoteItem includes an optional itemGuid
, it is not expected that a podroll would normally link to individual episodes.
(Humans: you can put a GUID into the search box on the Podcast Index website).
