I started doing a radio show / podcast on an online station a couple of years ago. To start with I just put it on their site and Mixcloud and that was that.
But 18 months ago I had to part ways with them, so figured I'd probably just carry on doing it and putting it on Mixcloud. But I needed somewhere to stream live, so I had to put together a website.
Long story short; yeah, I now have my own website, with Owncast and Icecast subdomains and my show is available as a podcast that has an RSS feed.
As an added bonus, seeing as I already have a VPS, I've created a bunch of subdomains that I use to redirect some services that are hosted on my home server.
It's fun.
Out of curiosity, what do you podcast about?
It’s music radio but I make it available as a podcast for those who can’t listen live.
Every week there’s a theme, and people suggest tunes that fit the theme. It’s actually become quite popular, which is nice.
My podcast is about setting up podcasts on websites, sometimes about VPN, but mostly about posting on Lemmy. I'm doing a podcast right now.
If you're comfortable linking, I'd like to listen to a podcast about posting on Lemmy haha
I'm sorry I can't provide a link, I have enough listeners as is. Recently I became a victim of identity theft so I needed to make it very clear to my audience that I am in fact myself, so I start every episode by stating my home address, credit card information and social security number. A new listener is not a good idea. I suggest you find a nice conch and go listen to the sea, that always calms me down.
That's really a shame. It sounds right up my alley. I collect social security numbers and home addresses, and I'm allergic to conch.
If you reply to this comment with your home addres, credit card details and social security number, then I'll reach out to you if one of my listerners leaves.
Home address: 802 Southport Lane, Southport, New Hampshire
I don't have a credit card, but my banking information is: 247380174328, ::909137287
My social security number is: 243-89-2112
And just in case you need it, my password to basically everything is OU812
I read your info on air. I had a listener come forth who said he had the exact same credentials as you, so you're already a listener! Happy to have you! Tomorrow's episode is about identity fraud, be sure to tune in!
Very cool to find out someone is out there listening for me so I have more free time. That's a relief. Like that dude in Florida that always files my taxes for me, or that person in New Mexico who handles getting and using the credit cards for me.
The world really is filled with helpers!
Alright, if you have any questions have your email guy reach out to my email guy
