I am a few classes into Hubert Dreyfus’s 2007 ”Man, God, and Society in Western Literature” Berkeley lectures ( [https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_itunesu_461120619](https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_itunesu_461120619)).

The Internet Archive's advanced search can return RSS which podcast apps understand, but it seems like it it's for subscribing to new collections, not for turning collections into podcasts.

So I think this is the best I can do? [https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=identifier%33Aucberkeley_webcast_itunesu_461120619fl%5B%5D=identifier&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&callback=callback&save=yes&output=rss](https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=identifier%33Aucberkeley_webcast_itunesu_461120619fl%5B%5D=identifier&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&callback=callback&save=yes&output=rss)



So, I upgraded my pocketcasts subscription to a tier that supports hosting arbitrary files, downloaded all of the mp3s from the archive, uploaded them to pocketcasts on the web, found them on my phone (profile, files, sort by name) and off I go.

A little tedious and so-close but not there with just advanced search.

Alas.
