Podcasting is the most widely used application of the RSS protocol. After creating a podcast episode, the creator uploads it to the hosting provider's server, which hosts and distributes the content by generating an RSS feed for the creator. The creator then submits the RSS feed URL to certain podcast platforms, such as Apple Podcasts. Other podcast players can discover the RSS feed through podcast indexes—sourced via user submissions or web crawling—and then automatically fetch episodes via the feed. In this way, Nostr is to text and images what Podcasting is to audio, providing decentralized distribution tailored to its medium.

Maybe there is a NIP (or it’s in the making, no doubt) for storing a blob on a Nostr Relay (say a video, MP3 or picture) for x months for an amount of satoshi (maybe payed over eCash?) If such a NIP exists then we could imagine that a podcast-over-Nostr is possible. If we had a NIP that forces the downloaded instead of the uploaded to pay a fee we could imagine that a popular enough file is available for years on a Relay 🤔 #asknostr #tellnostr #shownostr
