Link to "my podcast" goes to a YouTube channel instead of an RSS feed.
@pganssle you gotta have both these days, but no RSS feed just means you're not a podcast, just sparkling content.
@jay Like do people just sit in front of a TV or computer and watch people talking into microphones? Do people not find this extremely boring?
I usually listen to them at 4x speed and only while doing other things like exercising or chores or driving.
@pganssle YouTube premium allows consumption of them as audio only. I didn't understand the video folks but my stats indicate it's highly preferred by my (small) audience at least.
@jay Even that I wouldn't want because I just have one queue of (non-music) audio, I need it all in one app. I wrote a whole program just to make my audiobooks into podcasts just to make them more "first class" citizens in my podcast app. https://github.com/pganssle/audio-feeder/
@pganssle even worse, YouTube has a product they call podcasts which only work in YouTube music.
@jay I am mostly upset by the dilution of the term "podcast", since I want to find things that are actually podcasts, but also I've been listening to podcasts for like 20 years now and I find it very hard to imagine wanting to consume them as YouTube videos.
