Many solo hosts want a low‑friction way to deliver subscriber‑only audio without a heavy tech lift or confusing workflows. In ten minutes you’ll get a concrete, repeatable method to launch and operate a private bonus feed: three vetted setup paths (host‑generated private RSS, checkout‑delivered feed, and newsletter‑first delivery), exact metadata and naming rules so bonus episodes appear professional in players, a one‑click publish checklist, and practical on‑air and welcome‑email copy. The episode includes one explicit copy‑paste example for non‑technical hosts (example header: Authorization: Bearer ABC123token and tokenized RSS URL: https://yourhost.com/feed/private?token=ABC123token) plus an accessibility checklist (transcripts and alternative delivery). A short guest clip option and a fallback: private player link workflow for apps that block private RSS. Finish with a micro‑challenge and clear show‑notes resource (/bonusfeed) so listeners ship a bonus episode this week.
