Created a guide over the weekend on hosting a podcast with PeerTube. Going with Spotify/YouTube is tempting for many, but they may not have realized how easy/affordable PeerTube has become for hosting and maintaining complete control of a feed.

Why not use https://castopod.org/ ? It is also federated via ActivityPub and specifically made for Podcasts.
Because if you’re already running (or want to run) a PeerTube instance you can save yourself from having to setup and maintain another thing.
Hello Paige Saunders! I’m a big fan you smarmy kiwi yimby.
So … I’ve been making a weekly podcast for over 14 years. For all that time I’ve had complete control over my own content by hosting all the audio, the transcripts, the website and the RSS feeds on an AWS S3 bucket for a couple of dollars per month.
I submitted the RSS feed to several aggregators like iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and others. There’s eBooks, I send out weekly email, post on Mastodon and Lemmy (previously on Xitter and Reddit) and it’s included in other podcasts, news broadcasts and magazines.
How is adding PeerTube adding anything except more cost to me? What is the benefit of this that goes beyond people using their preferred podcast player downloading the audio from my own existing platform?
This guide outlines how to start a podcast for people who are already running PeerTube.
I perfectly agree, RSS has always worked, and is federated, in a better way than even activitypub, as pretty much each podcast is on the servers of the owners, and that the clients do the aggregation.
