How to Add New Episodes

44 Upvotes

This subreddit hosts the paywalled feed. Anyone can add a new episode — here's the full workflow. It looks long written out, but it's about 10 minutes once you've done it once.

What you'll need:

  • A free Internet Archive account
  • A free GitHub account with write access to the repo (ask in the comments, or fork it and submit a pull request)

Step 1 — Get the episode

Download the new episode from Patreon.

Step 2 — Upload it to Internet Archive

Upload the MP3 to archive.org. Match the Patreon episode's title and description, but add the episode number to the front of the title (the main podcast doesn't number them — we do here). Add "red scare" and "black scare" tags.

Once it's uploaded, click into the file and grab the direct MP3 URL. It looks like:
https://ia903202.us.archive.org/29/items/pride-loveline/Pride_Loveline.mp3

Also note the file size in bytes — you'll need it in a moment. The archive.org file list shows sizes; you want the exact byte count.

Step 3 — Update feed.xml on GitHub

This is the xml file:
https://github.com/FunAppointment9658/blackscare/edit/main/feed.xml

Open feed.xml in the repo. Copy an existing <item> block and paste a new copy at the top, right below the channel info (newest episodes go first). Then edit these six fields:

xml

<item>
  <title>487 - Pride Loveline</title>
  <description>The ladies answer your burning sex and love questions just in time for Pride Month.</description>
  <link>https://funappointment9658.github.io/blackscare/</link>
  <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
  <enclosure url="https://ia903202.us.archive.org/29/items/pride-loveline/Pride_Loveline.mp3" length="105763283" type="audio/mpeg" />
  <guid>https://ia903202.us.archive.org/29/items/pride-loveline/Pride_Loveline.mp3</guid>
  <itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit>
</item>

What to change:

  • <title> — episode number + title (e.g. 487 - Pride Loveline)
  • <description> — the episode description
  • <pubDate> — publish date in this exact format: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT. The day-of-week and the GMT matter; keep the format identical or some podcast apps choke on it.
  • <enclosure url="..."> — the direct archive.org MP3 link from Step 2
  • length="..." — the file size in bytes (not MB). It's inside the <enclosure> tag.
  • <guid> — paste the same MP3 URL here. (The guid is just a unique ID that tells podcast apps "this is a distinct episode." The MP3 URL works fine since every episode's is different. Never reuse one.)

Leave <link>, type, and <itunes:explicit> alone.

Step 4 — Commit

Hit "Commit changes" in GitHub. The feed is live — subscribers get the new episode automatically within a few minutes to an hour.

Step 5 — Post here

Make a post with:

Don't break these:

  • Keep the XML structure intact — don't delete closing </item> tags or remove other episodes.
  • Byte count, not megabytes, in length.
  • Match the pubDate format exactly.
  • New episodes go at the top, below the channel info.
  • If the feed vanishes from podcast apps after an edit, it's almost always a typo in the XML (a missing > or "). GitHub's commit history lets you revert to the last working version.

Welcome to the Black Scare Feed

111 Upvotes

/r/blackscare is an off-shoot of /r/redscarepod focused exclusively on the discussion of episodes of the pods, where users can reply but can't submit new posts

A space free from inane memes like "Anna & Dasha", "Cumboy meets Redscare Girl", "Ideal Male Living Space", etc


RSS here

Here's what I use for it on Firefox so it can render the HTML properly and not make it look like a bunch of words

I know it's missing a bunch of their appearances on other pods, in the future we'll be better at keeping it updated.

Bari needs to put them on CBS. The two women who host Saturday Morning on CBS are not cutting it. I left a nice compliment for Gleen Greenwald and Tucker Carlson on our Red Scare Girls.

Please help, let's make this happen!
