My sister wants to start her own podcast. What's the best self-hosted software to use these days? She already has a WordPress site.
Our podcast ended up just coding the RSS feed by hand and self-hosting, but in my research I found this and very nearly used it:
@raucao Audacity is pretty popular for recording and editing podcasts (lots of tutorials online). As for a hosting platform, I haven't heard of much. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/04/14/podsheets-open-source-podcasting/ looks interesting though.
@raucao have you considered publishing to https://audius.co/?
@raucao Castopod or Podlove Plugin for Wordpress.
@raucao I use the seriously simple podcast plugin from castos. Easy just add new podcasts like a blog post.
@raucao we use podlove for wordpress in our organisation, 4 years already. Very feature rich and stable. Has web players, auto submission to largest catalogues, chapter support, its own analytics.
However customizing the web player was a nightmare. Also a bit complex.
