I think you’re reading this as me having trouble finding podcasts; I find it mildly infuriating that Spotify and Apple are becoming the face of finding podcasts in a way that obfuscates how things actually work. I don’t like that these two entities become the only listed means to find a podcast when others exist and will cause lay people to associate podcasts with just them, if that makes more sense.

dustyData@lemmy.world 1 day agoMany free open podcast apps and webpages aggregate and index RSS feeds. Where you can simply search the podcast name and they will find the correct feed for you. Never had an issue.

Just realized this was in response to a comment I’d made and not the post, proper…; sorry about that.
I do, actually, use Antennapod so it’s feasible there but I also use Elfeed in Emacs and Podcasts, on Linux mobile, which (I believe) both require you to find the RSS feeds yourself. So that’s usually where I run into the need to manually hunt down RSS feed manually.
