 Arweave is endorsed by every big tech scumbag and the devs use Discord. I don't know anything other than that, but that's enough. I see a fire outside of the frying pan.  
 Yeah. I honestly don't understand the need to add "blockchain" stuff to RSS, which just effing works.

Now... Would I like a podcast app to be wake to create a list of podcasts I listen to so I could share it with other nostr users? Yes. I'd like that.  
 AntennaPod has OPML and HTML export options. Is that what you mean?

I use that for podcasts and Fossify Feeder for RSS. I don't know what I would gain from closed source tracking crap or shitcoin blockchains. 
 No. I would rather not have to send a file to a fellow nostrich. I would rather link a list. 

Not that sharing an OPML file is difficult, but... It would be fun to have some of the social aspects that fountain is trying to enact, but without their intrusive funding stuff. 

I use antennapod, too. It's pretty great.  
 I've also landed on Antennapod, though sometimes it doesn't play for me. Fountain was too glitchy and felt gimmicky. I was thinking of redownloading it to try again, but will not obv if this information is accurate.  
 I've never once had an issue with AP. This is across 3 phones and years. 

I have had issues with some podcasts that reformat their RSS feed for whatever reason, but, that's not AP's fault.  
 Yeah, I'm not super techie, so idk where the problem originates. When streaming it will tell me it can't play this file right now, please try deleting and redownloading. 🤷‍♀️  
 Ah, I see. That seems Nostrifiable, so maybe it'll be fully decentralized at some point. I think we're going to have to filter through a lot of mainstream apps touting "Nostr integration" before the FOSS stuff catches up.
