By default, for your safety and security, RSS.com does not include your email address in your podcast feed. However, there may be times when you need your email address visible in your feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this video, I’ll show you how to “temporarily” activate your email address in your podcast RSS feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Why Your Email Address is Hidden<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, podcast feed ownership was verified solely through email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue with having email addresses included in public RSS feeds is they were scraped by bad actors, leading to spam and phishing scams.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With recent advancements, there are now multiple ways to verify ownership of your podcast. As a result, keeping your email address visible all the time in your show’s RSS feed is no longer necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, at RSS.com, your email address is turned off by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporarily enabling your email address is easy to do. Just follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to your podcast dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    <\/span>Visibility Period<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once you enable your email address, it will be visible in your feed for the next 12 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During this time, you can complete tasks that require your email address for verification, such as setting up distribution<\/a> or sponsorships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
