was tired of my (multiple) desktop and mobile podcasts status not being synced. don't feel like paying for a premium podcast service either.
so i finally took the leap and hired a cheap server to self host all that on. yay! added bonus of moving my (static) website to that server too.
all in all, a good few hours of fun learning to set things up. the podcast service [1] seems to work fine and the website is quick enough. need to dig a bit more into advanced server security but all good for now.
and hey if all works out i'll finally be able to listen seamlessly to good old Friends at the Table wherever i am
