It could be worth putting in a ticket with substack asking to enable podcasting 2.0 before you migrate (for the kids)
Yeah I've been hearing a lot of good things about nostr:nprofile1qqsqeg7ch6sgxmjjjp68twy02p53f34r653z0pwl5e78tv9hzzv4xegpzdmhxue69uhkx6r0wf6hxtnsdfmzumt9qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszgthwden5te0d4uhxct5wvh8s7t69ahx7um5wfex2mrp0yh4yetvv95s4uu08u lately. We currently host our podcast from substack. Any idea how painful it would be to migrate?

Hey nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez any insights on substack podcasting? I know your not using it but mentioned it’s drawbacks the other day.
Yeah idk if I can honestly recommend it to anyone interested in Podcasting 2.0 features.
It's a podcast host in that it will host your rss feed and your audio. But that's it. I don't think you can customize the rss at all. So no chapters for example.
But if you have a substack and want to add a bonus audio thing, I can see it being handy.
For example, some creators are pay walling their podcasts behind substack pay walls.
This is lame. But I'm just stating what people are doing.
If someone takes the rss feed link from a substack and adds it to the podcastindex, does that circumvent the paywall on all apps other than the substack app? Or is the rss feed for a paywalled podcast kept “offline” where it can only be accessed through the substack app
While I wouldn’t recommend using substack to a new user, for current users I would think asking for rss feed customization features prior to migrating off the platform would be an easy thing to do. It would be useful to have one of those premade letters (like people make for asking senators to vote yes or no on something) that has useful links and explains the features that any current substack user could copy and paste with some customization into a ticket. This approach could be used for any legacy platform that could ostensibly add podcasting 2.0 functionality
