   Let us take a moment to appreaciate that #podcasts use #rss instead of forcing us to download a closed source client by some tech giant.

      @grainloom Let us lament for a moment that:
      
      1) people don't know what a podcast is and often call something a podcast even though it doesn't have an RSS or Atom feed and can only be reached through e.g. Soundcloud
      
      2) even the ones that do have a proper podcasty RSS feed often make it very hard to find it without resorting to an iTunes search, their web page not having a rel=alternate and any helpful badge links only leading to Stitcher etc
      
      ... and then take another moment and appreciate again that there are still a whole bunch of podcasts that actually do know what it's about, provide a badge and a rel=alternate and everything, and even offer Vorbis and Opus feeds!
      
      (and then lament again that my stupid faux-free phone OS doesn't support Opus)
