The Tech Stuff - with RSS․com

  • Castopod joins Spotify, Podchaser and Podnews in adding copious amounts of JSON_LD to podcast pages. Our schema includes RSS feed addresses, descriptions and the podcast:guid.

  • Neat thing - this podcast is putting their boost messages onto their website. (If you’ve an Umbrel running Helipad, http://umbrel.local:2112/boosts is a JSON feed that might help)

  • The launch of Libsyn5 last week also means a new, more private, RSS feed address for shows.
