Have you ever dreamed of hosting your own podcast? Or, maybe you already have one, but you don't know how to get it into the earbuds of listeners a...

How much of this can be skipped/omitted if the podcast is private, only to be made available by providing the URL explicitly to individual people?
Probably all of it. The purpose of the RSS is to publish it.
Well excuuuuuse me for posting.
I obviously don't belong here.
Blinks.
I'm really not sure where you got that idea. You asked how much of this can be omitted if you want to only publish privately, and the honest answer is, you can reasonably skip all of what I described. If you plan to share a direct link only, the RSS won't be very practical, as that's for publishing publicly, especially to podcast services. Just upload to a private location on a web server or what have you, and share the direct link.
I am sorry if something I said gave you the idea that I was being sarcastic. That said, I would recommend getting into the habit of reading the best into a statement, rather than the worst.
Thanks for the follow-up, sorry for assuming the worst. What I need to do is leverage the podcast client's ability to subscribe and mark played. I assume I need an RSS link for this, at least initially. If not, is there another type of document/protocol or endpoint I can serve so the client sees it as a usable podcast?
I'm not entirely sure. I suppose if you want people to be able to use a client with the podcast, but not list it anywhere, you could still set up the RSS feed on the same web server where you host your podcast episodes, and provide the link directly to said RSS.
But, honestly, I'm not sure. I think you'll need to experiment a bit. Let me know how it goes! I'm quite curious now. ;)
THANK YOU for posting this article, which seriously helped me walk through my first setup of a self-hosted podcast. I truly appreciate the work that you put into creating this!
Hello please help me.
I use blogger.com feedburner.com and archive.org for podcasting. But i cannot change cover for episodes how can i do? I try to upload archive org that doesn't work. I also try to change post cover in blog that doesn't work either :(
You specify the cover in your RSS. Take a look at mine, and search for "cover".

Thanks for this. My content now exists as multiple MP3 files, which are ordered "tracks" in the same Album which equals 1 Episode. Can RSS support this? Or do I have to concatenate these into one MP3 file in order for them to publish 1 Episode?
Sorry I somehow missed this one before.
To my knowledge, you must provide one file per episode. That's what all the different services expect.
Hope that helps!
Very helpful post ...
