I'd also take that as a lesson to some younger people getting into decentralization afresh and thinking it requires heavyweight federation. No need to bow down to someone else's content rules - if you have a domain and the ability to host some fairly small files, you can have a podcast which can be loaded into thousands of apps across all platforms with no central authority It's a shame because RSS podcasts are naturally distributed (probably because they date from back when that was the default mode of the web). Then of course there are the ones with outright exclusivity deals I guess they get more metrics (and maybe money) if you use Spotify or Apple Podcasts or whatever. It's not just them, a lot of podcasts seem to really not want you to use their plain old RSS feed, instead hiding it behind collapsable segments and similar. I presumed their days were numbered when Sounds came out. I'm surprised they even have those feeds at all. I also use that method to listen to live radio: You might need to look the URL of a show up on there but you can play any show on sounds using `mpv ` I actually quite like BBC sounds but it is completely possible to circumvent it.
