  overcast also supports audio file uploads landing in an "uploads" playlist; if the OP wants a super low-friction way to seed the parents' listening, that could be one way. just grab the mp3 versions of a few episodes and drop them in there, don't have to mess with getting them to subscribe to things. an annoying misfeature I have noticed with a lot of podcasts is that the feed URL only includes the latest N (usually 100) episodes, and if you want to listen from the beginning you have to do so "by hand" by visiting each episode's web page and either downloading the episode or listening in the browser. For one podcast with a predictable URL format for episodes, I pieced together an .xml file by hand that referred to all the episodes. It was super janky but I was able to pretend that it was the actual podcast's URL just fine.
