I'm reaching out for #podcasting advice. What libre tools do people recommend for:

Generating an RSS feed?

Having episodes show up on a human-readable website?

P.S. Can't afford a VPS so no root access.

is great. they also have an rss generator. other static site generators are more trouble than theyre worth.
make a static site with find(1), grep(1), and lowdown or Markdown.pl — rgz.ee

@anjan

Cool, thanks. Wouldn't I need root for that, though?

@Austin nope! You dont need root for ssg or rssg
@Austin the podlove WordPress plugin is very popular among German podcasters

@Austin
Hopefully helpful note about monetization:
https://podcastindex.org/ protocol defines (apart from other things) a way to get voluntarily paid for broadcasting in a decentralized way.
This has been implemented in the Bitcoin world and so users are directly streaming money to the podcasters (essentially voluntarily pay per second)

This has been implemented in couple of apps, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/lightningnetwork/comments/mbg81b/podcasts_on_breez_streaming_sats_for_streaming/

The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem.

@threed

Cheers. That's very interesting. I'd love to something like that take off. Got some reading to do.

@Austin

in this guide (in Italian) they teach you how to load a podcast on archive.org and then their site will create a rss for you
