   Fediverse clients know what to do with arbitrary handles in posts. Ideally, podcatchers would be able to parse show/episode links just as easily. Overcast hijacks Apple Podcasts links. The FastFollow proposal provided a standard way to indicate which arbitrary URLs could be similarly hijacked.

   I saw plenty of QR codes, but did any apps start parsing show notes for FastFollow links, especially for episodes?
