The vast majority of podcast content is distributed via RSS. In fact if its not distributed via RSS, no one is listening. It’s so important its even advertised as part of Spotify’s podcasting platform.[0]

Of course Spotify has incentive to prioritize you listening in their app, but they can still put ads into the audio feed so it doesn’t matter as much to them. And your state-owned radio is absolutely limiting their audience by not using the accepted standards for podcast content.
