Given how iHeartMedia, Spotify, and Apple are all more and more invested in the podcast ecosystem it seems they are purchasing content and putting it behind a paywall. I’d like to make sure the podcasts I care about are backed up.
I saw the internet archive had a podcasts section but there wasn’t a lot of the content I’d expect to see so also interested if anyone is building a public archive
That’s almost exactly what I’m looking for! Do you use their mobile apps to listen to podcasts? I didn’t see anywhere in their docs about exposing RSS feeds for podcasts to allow usage of existing podcasts apps.
Might just make my own to achieve that, I essentially just want a man in the middle archive of all the podcasts I am subscribed to so I can continue to use my existing podcast clients
I do use their app but I’m pretty sure you can have your own RSS for audiobooks, and I’m assuming for podcasts too. I really recommend you give it a go :) let me know if you need any help, or just at the selfhosted community. Happy to help
Edit: just checked, yes you can have your own RSS with audiobookshelf, so you can still serve to your favorite podcast app.
