(On that last point: Spotify has long refused to support premium podcast URLs, seemingly because they want to position themselves as the gatekeeper for paid podcast content. I'm sure they see this deal with Substack as a stepping stone along that path.)
It's sometimes taken multiple tries for Pocket Casts to successfully resolve new Substack feeds entered in that box, in my experience. I just kept trying (and reloading the page) until it eventually worked. Fortunately, once it was set up it's been working consistently.

Have you figured out how to get B & R premium feed in Pocket Casts? I can for my other premiums but not this one. Thanks
I did it by going to https://play.pocketcasts.com/podcasts and entering the private RSS URL in the "Search or enter URL" box.

Thank you so much. I will give it a try when home and let you know how it worked.
