How to Install Podder's Prefix/Prepend?

What is Podder's prefix?

A prepend/prefix is a short URL that goes at the beginning of your RSS feed. It lets Podder track all download requests that come through your show's RSS feed. You should add it so Podder can track your episode downloads and generate valuable insights about your show. Without adding it you won't see any data for your show.
