Private Secure Podcast Hosting by Proton using FOSS Castopod
I realize that someone could self-host their podcast (using free hosting software from Castopod) and distribute their podcast that way, but most Netizens are not going to go that route. I propose a podcast hosting solution that is based in a more privacy-friendly country like Switzerland.
If Proton hosted Castopod software on their Swiss-based servers, that would create a private, podcast hosting option that could also be spun-up quite easily. Proton could also limit its support to the most basic set-up issues, with users accepting terms upfront that only initial configuration support will be provided by Proton while also clarifying that Proton's role is to provide private and secure hosting for the Castopod software.
