I guess I don’t know how SoundCloud works for podcasts. Is there any way to get an RSS feed?

I just typed ‘Historiansplaining’ into the search box of my podcast app (AntennaPod) and it just popped up.

This is also in the Apple podcast app, although it looks like the episodes there might be older.
I don’t really find him using the term “Dark Ages” for his early medieval episode encouraging, though, especially since that area is not his specialty and the episode description seems like a wildly outdated take on the period. A lot of my own podcast consumption has been related to that period, and I have the impression that he may be speaking out of turn on a subject he doesn’t understand as well as he does his area of specialization. But I haven’t actually listened to it yet, so I’ll still give it a chance.
Thanks!
