Pretty common if not necessarily advertised. I'll echo what others have said-- any site I particularly care about has an RSS feed.

I've written scrapers for some things that don't expose RSS to dump into the tt-rss database, too. Having the data sitting in a relational database makes it easy to interface with. (I wrote my own "podcatcher" since 2005-era tt-rss didn't have any such functionality and just use the tt-rss database as its back-end.)
