Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y’all. I know it’s already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.
They talk about the week’s news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.
Did they actually selfhost their podcast? Or did they use some 3rd party distributor?
As someone else noted, they use a platform called Fireside. I wonder how hard it would be to self-distribute a podcast with thousands of listeners.
It shouldn’t be that hard. What you really need is bandwidth.
The podcasting 2.0 spec has tags for alternate means of distribution as well. I’ve been wanting to see torrent magnet links in there, but it hasn’t happened yet as far as I know
