About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful solution for podcast creators who use ARD Audiothek. It automates the process of creating and serving a dynamic RSS feed for your podcast episodes. By fetching the overview page of a specified ARD Audiothek show, it intelligently extracts all episode links. It then navigates to each episode's page to gather essential details such as title, description, audio URL, and publication date. Finally, it consolidates this information, cleans up any duplicate links, and formats it into a standard RSS 2.0 feed, complete with iTunes-specific tags. This ensures your podcast is easily discoverable and playable on all major podcast platforms.
