@NatureMC If the price is what matters the most, go with Spotify for Podcasters, they're 100% free. But free as in free beer, not free as in free speech.

@NatureMC If you are looking for the cheapest way to host you podcasts, shared hosting might be a good solution. Or you can self host using, for instance, YunoHost, it even runs on a Raspberry Pi.
On the other hand, our hosting offers provide CDN, storage, bandwidth, backup, updates, unlimited podcasts, unlimited users, monitoring... So no, I cannot let you say that they are expensive. That is what is costs.

@todb A bot is something we have been thinking about…
But what we really need is feedback from the community to know what would be helpful!
We'd really like to see more interactions with podcasts on the Fediverse.

@Castopod As a layperson in most digital tech, let me ask some dumb-sounding questions: For self-hosting my podcast, I need host space (like for my website) but this never comes free because podcasts use a lot of bandwidth.
1. What is the difference between Castopod and the host of my wordpress website?
2. Is Castopod a real *host* (=server space) or just an app which helps with handling/activity pub?

@Castopod

Hi there!

Does it run on shared hosting?
Does it support RSS?

@NatureMC Hosting a podcast with Castopod is exctly the same as hosting a blog with Wordpress.
Castopod is a server application that manages everything you need for your podcasts, plus ActivityPub, plus analytics, plus it is multi-tenant, multi-user, plus many other things. See docs.castopod.org for more info.
We also provide hosting services on castopod.com if you don't want to manage the hosting yourself. (Exactly as WordPress does.)

Castopod :podcasting2: boosted

@bitpickup Yes it does run on shared hosting (it was designed to!).
And of course it supports RSS!

The Fediverse is essential for free speech in podcasting because it allows podcasters to interact directly with their audience without relying on centralized platforms that could stifle their voice.

With Castopod, your podcasts are still available on all major platforms—Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Overcast, and more—while you maintain full control over your distribution and interaction.

Moreover, Castopod connects you directly with your listeners through the Fediverse, a decentralized network that enables open, censorship-resistant communication.

In today's digital landscape, maintaining control over your content is more crucial than ever. When you rely solely on third-party platforms, you're subject to their rules, algorithms, and policies, which can limit your creative freedom and influence. For podcasters, this means your voice could be censored, your content deprioritized, and your audience fragmented across various platforms, making genuine interaction challenging.
