Aren't podcasts essentially audio files over RSS?

Broke: culture war over general purpose computation.

Woke: culture war over general purpose content distribution.

There are now podcast distribution services where you can host your podcasts and there are several things wrong with them:

- as a consumer, I am expected to install every podcast application that hosts podcasts I like.

- they usually don't expose RSS feeds because god forbid someone uses a third-party, general-purpose, RSS-based podcast application.
