Tools that make it easier to add sources to your feed reader

• FiveFilters: Create Feed and other services.
• https://rssgizmos.com (including feed freshness checker, OPML maker, and OPML peeler).
• Feedsearch, an API service for searching websites for their RSS, Atom or JSON feeds.
• GetRSSFeed. Shows RSS feed URL for Soundcloud or Apple "podcasts".
• FetchRSS. Works well for those Soundcloud "podcasts", but this site requires registration (which suggests that this site is creating their own feed endpoint instead of simply exposing soundcloud's already existing (but well-hidden) RSS endpoint).
• rss discovery engine, pre-alpha, by Brandon Quakkelaar (via Rubenerd)
• https://feedle.world a search engine for blogs and podcasts
• Explore RSS feeds in your own neighbourhood (interesting project) via https://mastodon.social/@paulcuth/112020399228840502
• https://siftrss.com - Nifty! It even supports regular expressions. But no source code?

Is the podcast you want to listen to hosted on Soundcloud? First of all, double-check that the podcast is not also hosted somewhere else (more often than not that is the case, and then you can simply avoid Soundcloud).
Soundcloud makes it really hard to discover the podcast's RSS feed. It is not shown anywhere on the page, nor in the HTML source.
Based on a feed URL we already possess and that channel's Soundcloud landing page, I think the following method is necessary to manually construct the hidden RSS feed endpoint for any Soundcloud "podcast":

1. Open the HTML source of the Soundcloud "podcast", for example https://soundcloud.com/user-268302561.
2. In the HTML source, find the user ID property, which looks like this soundcloud://users:819898639 (I suggest search for soundcloud://users).
3. Copy the numeric part, and construct a URL like this: https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:819898639/sounds.rss.
   Take a moment to reflect on the awfulness of siloed web services and do your best to avoid encouraging them in future.
