Podcasts are built on open standards - podcasters publish once and listeners can choose to listen in any app.
Video podcasts should work in the same way and not be dominated by closed platforms like YouTube and Spotify.
The <podcast:alternateEnclosure> is a new RSS tag that lets podcasters publish a video version alongside the regular audio version - allowing any supporting app to give listeners the ability to seamlessly switch to video.

I've removed top boost pinning given some of the recent ranking changes. If you'd like, I'd be happy to prorate a refund.
all good!
This is great! Congratulations
I want to use fountain but I keep switching to pocketcasts because it's less buggy in general
I actually use it almost every day and haven’t noticed any bugs.
what bugs have you experienced recently?
It doesn't auto download my podcasts. And it takes a little while to get the podcasts to start playing.
