   New data! My ranking of top podcast hosting companies based on the 1.9 million new eps in March 2024

   - #3 Spreaker moves up to 6.9% share, a more accurate number based on new signal starting in early-March

   The goal is to observe/validate every new podcast episode!

     @js @dwev There are now (at least) 118 podcasts using Castopod and OP3.

     @js @dwev Is it better to have no data or wrong data? The accurate information is in podcast index though. The correct way to count Castopod would be the [generator] field.

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     @dwev
     At a minimum, Castopod should have an entry here [1] for their free *.podcast.audio subdomains so systems using those patterns pick them up.

     @benjaminbellamy perhaps you could add yourself?

     @dwev Yea this data has nothing to do with OP3. Another system analyzes every new podcast episode, resolving the hosting/tracking/cdn entities using the enclosure redirect chain.

     Interesting point about Castopod. They won't show up here since their shows mostly use their own domains, including the enclosure urls.

     I agree it would be nice to see them, I'll think about how to include them in next month's run.

     @js interesting data. Is this gathered independently of OP3?
     Also, I expected Castopod to appear *somewhere* on the chart but they seem to be completely missing? They support custom domains, but include a “Generator” tag in the feed that identifies them…
