StopRansomware: The Basics of Ransomware, Double Extortion, and Getting Ready

In this episode, we break down what ransomware is, how modern attacks often escalate into “double extortion,” and—most importantly—what an organization can do to prepare, prevent, and respond using CISA’s StopRansomware Guide. We’ll focus on practical steps: backups, incident planning, hardening common entry points, and the first moves if you’re hit.

Why this workflow

Private delivery without publishing a show.

Poddy gives your account a long, private RSS feed URL containing your completed episodes. Add it to a compatible podcast app and new briefings can appear alongside the shows you already follow.

The feed is designed for personal listening. It is not submitted to public podcast directories, and possession of the private feed URL controls access in supported apps.

How it works

From source to private episode in three steps.

01

Generate a private episode

Create an audio briefing from a supported public URL or document.

02

Copy your personal feed URL

Open podcast feed settings and copy the private RSS address associated with your account.

03

Subscribe in a compatible app

Add the URL manually in a podcast app that supports private RSS feeds and wait for it to refresh.

Structured for listening

Keep the useful detail without reading every line aloud.

The episode changes the format, while the original source remains the place to verify exact wording and detail.

Use your existing podcast habits

Keep playback speed, queueing, downloads, and listening controls in a familiar app.

One ongoing feed

New completed briefings can appear in the same subscription when the app refreshes.

Private by design

The feed is not a public show and uses a long personal URL that should be kept secret.

Know the limits.

Audio is useful for orientation and review. The source remains essential when precision matters.

  • Not every podcast app supports adding a private RSS URL manually.
  • Anyone who obtains the private feed URL may be able to access its episodes, so treat it like a password.
  • Feed refresh timing is controlled by the podcast app and may not be immediate.
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about personal podcast feed.

What is a private podcast feed?

It is an RSS feed available through a private URL rather than a publicly listed podcast. In Poddy, it contains the completed episodes for your personal account.

Which podcast apps support private RSS feeds?

Support varies by app. Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, and other apps commonly allow manual RSS subscriptions, while some services may restrict them.

Can other people find my feed in a podcast directory?

Poddy does not submit personal feeds to public podcast directories. Keep the feed URL private because the URL itself provides access.

When do new episodes appear?

Completed episodes are added to the feed, but the time before they appear depends on when your podcast app refreshes the subscription.

Try it with one source from your queue.
