The Fediverse has a podcasting platform called @Castopod which has accounts that can be followed from Mastodon etc. People can also comment, like or share individual episodes. More info at:
It has just moved out of alpha testing into beta testing, with a new interface and lots of new features.
Podcasts can also (of course!) be followed through RSS instead, if you prefer.

@funkwhale also can do podcasts
@feditips @Castopod This is available to install with @yunohost too! https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/castopod_ynh

Dang this is epic. #Funkwhale is cool but it’s slightly clunky, if #Castopod is super simple to use this’ll be a boon for content creators and podcasters who want to self-host!
@realcaseyrollins
We designed Castopod to be as simple as possible to: install, host and use!

Hello @protodrew, Castopod does not rely on any blockchain. It's just plain RSS.
If you want to get paid with bitcoins, you have to rely on another system, such as LND.
If you don't want to get paid with bitcoin, just don't. No blockchain will ever be used with Castopod.

So happy to see this, federation really seems like the best solution for podcasting 😀
