Podcasts are just like websites in that they are publicly accessible via the rss feed urls - so we have all the podcasts on Fountain other than exclusives like Joe Rogan. Claiming a podcast on Fountain allows the podcaster to start receiving sats from their audience!

I hate that so many “podcasts” like JRE are locked behind platforms like YouTube or Spotify. IMO if you can’t access them via rss with a podcast app they shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves podcasts.
Podcasts are freedom tech and being locked on a platform is antithetical to podcasting.

Looking forward to it!
However, I would say I'm a 80/20 desktop/mobile kind of guy when it comes to podcasts. I already liked the Android version quite well so I am especially happy that I can now listen to podcasts while doing other stuff on my desktop. Need to checkout the desktop version more though. Is it new or quite old already?
Btw, I noticed that some podcasts can be claimed. Does this mean not every podcast is uploaded by the author? Or is it just about verification?
