Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Podcast Index develops infrastructure supporting independent podcast discovery and the open feed ecosystem.

It is most useful to builders and publishers who need their shows represented beyond a single listening platform. The official organisation hosts the podcast namespace and related feed-project resources. This is the index ecosystem, not a guarantee that every app using it supports every newer podcast feature.
