Three new hosting moves land at once: Riverside adds hosting to its recording and editing suite, RSS.com launches a true free plan for local and niche shows, and PodToo Cloud targets developers with storage, CDN, and analytics built for media.
• Riverside’s all‑in‑one workflow promise - we interview Kendall Brietman
• RSS.com’s Free Local And Niche plan mechanics and upgrade paths
• PodToo Cloud’s S3‑compatible stack, CDN, and engagement‑focused analytics - we interview Russell Harrower
• Apple country charts, plays vs downloads, and what a “play” likely means
• Hosts that block redirects and why ownership of your feed matters
• Diversity data across genres and why discovery and tooling still bias outcomes
• Audio’s share of consumption vs video’s discovery role
• Australia’s cross‑app Audio ID and privacy implications
• Tech corner: VTT captions in web players, JSON‑LD linking, Apple vs Index feed hygiene
