Ok between the different @podcasts I now have...

https://redcircle.com/shows/95190f06-ba12-47ae-9267-4aaa656f4e93

3. Another one soon to come...

I think its time to either #selfhost, sign up with a host which support #castopod or just pay @castopod for my podcasting.

Be great if there was a table of all the providers, what they provide and how much etc? Currently going through - https://podnews.net/directory/category/hosting

Maybe a task for a LLM?
