The proxy thing and the drama with sr.ht is annoying, but maybe it was solved while I didn't look.
The actual interview was really fun (although it was at the end clear you are looking for someone a little different) and I learned about eBPF, which was great.
If you fixed the delays, then it's even better.
Given that the people migrating the podcasts are the actual copyright owners, that should not even be illegal? (But I am not an expert.)
By looking online I see some random software for removing Apple's FairPlay, but it's all commercial.
They even C&D the original podcast app, because it was named iPodder.

I put the experience on GlassDoors, but in general... it's fine, but took way too long.
On plus side. The coding challenge was amazing and I learned a lot doing it. I passed the first code challenge, then I didn't pass the followup exercise which was on slack. It was very clear that the exercises are directly related what I would be doing.
On the negative side, the whole process took far too long and there were around 1 month delays in all the messaging. That made me think I don't want to apply there again, because I don't have infinite time in my life. However, if you can afford to wait, it is fine.
