I’ve been slowly moving back to RSS for a variety of reasons. Since they don’t seem to make them easily available, I created a script to search for all the NPR RSS feeds. I discovered that the link is hidden in the source for each page, and they all follow the same format:
https://feeds.npr.org/####/rss.xml
Searching on that, I’ve generated the following list. Keep in mind that some are archived and not updated, some seem abandoned; most over number 2000 are empty, but included for completion’s sake.

There didn’t seem to be any topics beyond this. Podcasts are also in this format, between 2 and 65, looks like. I’ll make a separate post for those if anyone’s interested.
