Been using the Beeb's RSS feeds in the browser for years. This morning - nothing. Looking at the site, there's no RSS symbol in the navigation bar and none on the page. I'm wondering if the feeds have been dropped to get more hits on the pages. It ain't going to work with me - I'll just not bother.

Maybe tits all to do with the https conversions. I'm not sure what is going on with the bbc these days they seem to be going off on tangents doing things with no actual real aim. Brian

Internal ticket already raised. Shouldn?t be too long before it?s fixed. HTH.
I received the latest edition of Crossing Continents at 11:30 today.
I think RSS is dying a death. Few people seem to use it now.
Used to use it, but these days iPlayer Radio does anything I need, and more conveniently (e.g. download straight to phone).
I get loads of podcast downloads through it, using Podcast Addict (on Android) as the aggregator.
IPlayer doesn't give a taext summary of news headlines. I don't want to watch vids but just have text if possible.
They're back!
I meant that many originators of podcasts now seem to have stopped or switched to some other mechanism.
