There are several ways of subscribing to a podcast or programme depending on the device you’re using. Click on the links to find the advice that best suits you: 

Subscribing on BBC Sounds means you’ll see a personalised feed of your favourite podcasts and programmes in My Sounds. You will need to download episodes individually. 

You can subscribe to a podcast by using an RSS feed. RSS feeds allow you to stay updated when something new, like a podcast, becomes available.
To be able to subscribe, your browser will need to be able to support RSS feeds. Many browsers will already be able to support RSS feeds by default, or you can choose an RSS extension. This is essentially an extra piece of software that can be easily added to the browser. You can find an RSS extension to suit you in your browser Settings > Extensions and searching for RSS, or online by searching for RSS + ‘browser name’ 
The process may differ depending on the browser, extension and service that you choose.
*If the podcast you’ve chosen doesn’t have a Podcast tab, it’s likely this is a BBC Sounds Exclusive podcast, meaning it can only be downloaded using the BBC Sounds app for mobile or tablet. In this case it won’t have an RSS feed but can still be streamed on the website, or downloaded via the app.

If you’ve got podcast software installed on your computer (such as iTunes, Juice or gPodder) you can use the URL for the podcast feed to subscribe to your chosen podcast.

You can subscribe to podcasts on the BBC Sounds app. Or, on iOS devices, you can install a podcast app or use Apple’s built-in Podcasts app which can be set to download episodes (you can set a limit to the amount you wish to automatically download) in the app’s settings.
Alternatively, open the Podcasts app on your iOS device and search for the BBC podcast you’d like to subscribe to.
