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.
Comment on How To Use PeerTube for Podcasting
vk6flab@lemmy.radio 2 days ago
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?

If you actually read the OP, PeerTube podcasts are ALSO distributed via RSS.

that’s a good thing, if you host it on your own instance.

This guide outlines how to start a podcast for people who are already running PeerTube.

It adds video. If you don’t care about video, and you already have a system that works, it’s probably not for you.
If potentially a new person wanted somewhere to host a podcast, they could do that using PeerTube. Along with all the other video services it offers.
