As a longtime podcaster myself, I really appreciate the effort you’ve put into this; the sound quality is excellent, the format solid, and the content engaging. Is there any chance you could try uploading it to one of the standard podcasting platforms (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or even Youtube)? I’d love to be able to subscribe through the same channels I use for other podcasts, and also to use the standard features I’ve come to depend on for podcasts - especially the speed controls.
Thank you very much. At the moment, I currently don't have a clear plan on making (besides through my Patreon, which gives patrons access to an RSS feed for listening on platforms), as these platforms require monthly/yearly subscriptions for episodes to stay up. YouTube also causes issues, as the platform sometimes auto-blocks uploads due to audio clips used (I learnt this while making YouTube video essays back in 2018 and found the process of editing, re-rendering, and re-uploading essays very frustrating). Looking at the media player on both Patreon and Scritch Editor, you're right, neither have a control to change the speed for audio. I apologise for this missing feature. I'll keep my eye on both Patreon and Scritch--hopefully, one or both of them will add a speed control in the future.
I didn’t realize Apple had started charging storage fees. The podcast I co-host has been running for more than a decade, so we may be getting a different deal from newer shows. Youtube is indeed annoying, and probably only worthwhile if you have a video component. In any case, your show sounds great, and the lack of speed controls is just a minor quibble.
