BONUS: currently I save every (unique-ish) person that I find in a feed. This will be the basis for a Person API that I can also use for
@Podhomefm
to let podcasters search and select people to add to their show and episodes. When this works well, I’ll open this API up for open use.

I’m monitoring the behavior to see if I can scale anything back and fix errors when I run into them.
One example is that a feed contained items with a duration of -1 seconds. I parse this into a C# TimeSpan, which works, but fails when I save it to the database. Just stuff like that.
This backend serves 2 purposes:
1️⃣ discovery: show users podcasts and episodes they might be interested in
2️⃣ notifications: notify users when a new episode is published for a podcast they are interested in

at Podhome.fm, you can host your music show and simply configure value recipients and much more. You can even go live in the podcast apps. Go try it out at www.podhome.fm

I would be very curious to know what you’re spending for what kind of horsepower. And how we can help to optimize that for you, perhaps with $$$

that might be a good idea for the index though, as you have a very high workload.

When podpings are found, I create an Azure Service Bus Queue message for each block to update, containing the Uris to fetch and parse. Each Queue message triggers a QueueTriggered Function that does the parsing. This can fan out to many Functions running in parallel, and seems to fit very well with my €45 / month Linux App Service Plan.

So I ended up with a TimerTriggered Function that, every 5 minutes, checks if my Podping listener is still running. If not, it starts it again with the next Hive blockId that I need to process.

what a beautiful website! When I look at “active” podcasts there, it seems much closer to my number.
When I start parsing the feeds, and listen for updates, I’ll find out soon enough if these are truly the active podcasts.
In any case, it’s not that important, as these will serve as the initial base for discovery. Usage will fill the database with what users actively listen to

you can read about it here: https://www.podhome.fm/docs/live-podcasting.
The main thing you need is software to stream your audio to the Podhome streaming server. There are many options (free and paid), take a look here: https://live365.com/blog/best-software-for-broadcasting-live/
I personally like Radio Broadcaster (on Windows) and BUTT (all platforms).

we only file the startTime at Podhome. As I understand, no player apps use endTime at the moment (please let me know if I’m wrong)

yes. As there are sooooo many legacy apps out there, we make sure to:
- create a Chapters json file
- bake chapters into the MP3
- provide an easy way to include chapters in your description (Spotify can use those for instance)

I’m thinking about building a podcast app for Podhome, as a companion to the hosting platform. It seems like something fun to build. Somebody please convince me that this is a bad idea 😂
