# Podcasts

Bookhoard is not just books: it also runs your podcast subscriptions. You
subscribe to feeds, episodes download for offline listening, and you can
play a run of episodes back-to-back — a feed, or a hand-picked sequence.

## The Podcasts page

Open **Podcasts** from the sidebar. The page is your subscriptions:

- **Continue** — the episode you were in the middle of, ready to resume
- **All Feeds** — every feed you subscribe to
- **Search** narrows your feeds and episodes
- Each feed's page holds its episodes, with **Download All** for grabbing
  everything at once

Subscriptions live in your **Podcasts library** (feeds manage it themselves —
you won't see it in the regular library switcher, and it never mixes into
the book wall on **All Books**).

## Subscribing to a feed

1. Click **Add Feed** on the Podcasts page
2. In the **Add Podcast Feed** panel, paste the show's **RSS feed URL**
3. Choose the **Library** the podcast belongs to
4. Optionally: check **Download all episodes now** to grab the back catalog
   immediately, and pick the **Download order** for new episodes — **Feed
   order**, **Feed order (reversed)**, **Oldest first (pub date)**, or
   **Newest first (pub date)**
5. Click **Add & Subscribe**

From then on Bookhoard watches the feed: new episodes appear as the show
publishes them, downloaded according to the order you picked.

## Playing episodes

Click an episode to open the audio player. The player keeps your place,
supports bookmarks, a chapter list where the show provides chapters, and
playback speed — the same speed and resume-rewind defaults you set on your
[profile](profile-guide.md) apply here.

To play many episodes in a row, use a collection: episode collections have a
**Play as Sequence** button and their own listening order — see
[Collections](collections.md).

*Finding your way back:* **Podcasts** is the sidebar page whose header reads
"Your subscriptions" — the only page with the **Add Feed** button.
