Isn't rss how podcasts are normally distributed?

  Judging by most podcast ads I've heard, the normal distribution methods are the Google Play store and iTunes.

    iTunes uses RSS for podcasts (or at least used to). It's invisible for most users though since they use the same platform for discovery and consumption.

    Idk if anything has changed, but last I knew those are just RSS readers on the backend.

      Yes, but the user doesn't have control of what to subscribe to. They can't add a new RSS URL, it needs to be submitted from the creator to these services. I guess the nice thing is that for people who know RSS and have a "full featured" podcast client they can find that backend and subscribe however it isn't really the same as an RSS reader.
