Accessing Your Energy Transition Show Member Feed with Corporate or Institutional Restrictions

If you’re having trouble accessing your member feed URL or using our subscription wizard due to corporate or institutional security settings, you’re not alone. Some organizations have IT policies that can interfere with our podcast members-only feed subscription process. We apologize for this frustration—we wish there was a simpler way, but these are standard limitations when dealing with various IT security policies.

Common Issues You Might Experience

• The subscription wizard freezes when trying to generate your member URL

• Copy and paste functions are blocked or restricted

• Pop-ups or external links are blocked by your organization’s firewall

• The “1-click subscribe” buttons don’t work on your work device

1. Listen on the Web (Always Available)

Good news: You always have access to all episodes directly on our website! While we work on getting your feed wizard working, you can listen to any episode by:

1. Logging into your account at energytransitionshow.com

2. Browse and play episodes directly from your browser

3. This works on any device and bypasses all institutional restrictions

2. Use the “1-Click” Subscribe Button

On our Member Podcast App Subscription Wizard, after logging in, look for the green “Mobile (iOS)” or relevant platform button. This should open your podcast app directly without needing to copy and paste.

Note: If your company restrictions block pop-ups, this may not work, but it’s worth trying first.

3. Use a Personal Device

If you have a personal device (phone, tablet, or computer) that isn’t managed by your company:

1. Log into your Energy Transition Show account from your personal device

2. Generate and copy your member feed URL

3. Subscribe using your preferred podcast app on that device

4. Try Apple Podcasts Desktop (Mac Users)

If you have access to a Mac computer (either personal or work), you can:

1. Subscribe to the member feed in the Apple Podcasts app on your computer

2. The show should automatically sync to your iPhone via iCloud

3. This bypasses mobile device restrictions while still getting episodes on your phone

5. Use Alternative Podcast Apps

Some alternative podcast apps might not be subject to your organization’s data transfer restrictions:

• Pocket Casts - Supports private RSS feeds and available for iOS/Android

• Overcast - Popular iOS podcast app with RSS support

• Mimr - Another option that supports private feeds

These apps often allow you to paste your member feed URL even when the default podcast app is restricted.

6. Contact Our Support Team for Manual Feed Generation

If the subscription wizard continues to freeze or fail, our support team can manually generate your member feed URL for you. Important: This process requires us to reset your password for security purposes, so please let us know if that’s okay when you contact us.

Email support@xenetwork.org with:

• Your request for manual feed generation

• Confirmation that you’re okay with a password reset

• Your preferred podcast app (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.)

7. Try a Different Browser or Incognito Mode

Sometimes corporate restrictions vary by browser or can be bypassed temporarily:

• Try Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge if you normally use a different browser

• Use incognito/private browsing mode

• Clear your browser cache and cookies for our site

8. Access During Off-Hours or Off-Network

If possible, try accessing our subscription wizard:

• During lunch breaks using cellular data instead of company WiFi

• From home using your personal internet connection

• Using a mobile hotspot if available

9. Contact Your IT Department

As a last resort, you can reach out to your corporate IT or security team and ask them to issue an exception for our URLs:

• energytransitionshow.com

• transition.show

• xenetwork.org

Explain that you need access to generate and copy a private RSS feed URL for a professional podcast subscription. Many IT departments can provide temporary or permanent exceptions for legitimate business resources, though this process can take time.

Still Having Issues?

If none of these workarounds solve your problem, please contact our support team at support@xenetwork.org with:

• A description of exactly where you’re getting stuck

• Screenshots of any error messages (if possible)

• Your operating system and browser information

• Whether you’re on a work device or personal device

We can sometimes manually send your member feed URL via email or help troubleshoot specific technical issues.
