I’ve been slowly working my way towards starting a podcast. I know my theme and I have ideas for the first couple episodes, but I’m looking for more in-depth guides through the technical parts of the process. I can research and find open source audio editors, I have access to a good mic setup, and I can write a script, record it, and edit it. My concern is more of the release side. I’m aware that the podcast ecosystem runs via RSS, but I’m looking for a sort of walkthrough of this last leg of the process. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Most people use a podhosting service like Podbean, iTunes, or Spotify. Sadly, that’s where you need to go for most normies to find you.
That said, there is an open source self-hosting option that ties in with the fediverse called castopod which is really easy to use and looks nice. Iirc they can also tie into other platforms (don’t quote me on that), but I never really needed to when I was hosting mine.
Don’t you think the market is kinda saturated?
