OK this from @steven is one of my new favorite Fedi apps that I've seen in a bit.
It opens almost every major podcast into the Fedi, making federated podcasts at scale a usable thing. Incredible to see it in the wild even in beta.
Huge credit to Steven for this app & to the team at PodcastIndex for the AP bridge that undergirds it. Early days but hugely impressive.
@davidpierce consider this for your next Installer.

@wjmaggos @tchambers @evan @steven @davidpierce @fediversenews Technically this is already possible with podcast index, no? You can follow specific podcast "accounts" from Fedi and when a new episode is posted, it's posted just like a regular post that can be boosted/favorited

I'm sorry but I don't think I understand. it searches and displays data from the podcast index that also has fedi info?
what I want is to transition podcasts from RSS to AP (not have a middleman) so that episodes are natively AP items and we could have podcatchers with boosting (the killer app here imo). that would let me see what episodes got boosted the most by the people I follow etc. so much potential once we make that change really.

@wjmaggos @tchambers
That's correct. The Podcast Index runs a bridge that makes each feed and every episode available via ActivityPub using the ap.podcastindex.org bridge.
There is a Fediverse first podcast host called @Castopod . They still produce an RSS feed but each feed is an account episode is a post.

this adds a middleman and it's not part of podcatcher functionality. I use WordPress and plugins to do what you're saying for my podcast but it functions like a separate feed.
what's diff about the fedi compared to closed platforms is all content can be natively social here. there, you create another social media post with a link to your article, podcast episode or video. this difference, once designed around, should make us catnip to creators.

@pierostrada Thanks. Mostly just another way to let the feeds be shared. Podcast Index started an AP bridge and I wanted a way to make the accounts easier to find.
Also, thanks for showing me that there is a bug with the emoji size :)

Tried, looks good.
In other words, like antennapod but without needing a specific app - got it right?

It is: but this gives it a more visual search, and a graphical UX to the whole process, and a one click follow, if you log in.
