A couple weeks ago I struck +upon an idea that seems so bafflingly simple in retrospect: I could just host +my own podcast feed. + +Podcasts at the end of the day are just [RSS +feed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) which are a specific XML format. +Clients periodically reload the RSS feed and when new `` tags are +present, then they will typically prompt or automatically downloaded the nested +``. It really is a simple format, and trivial to wire into my [blog +set up](https://github.com/rtyler/brokenco.de). + +Check out my [Podcast Picks](/podcast-picks.xml) feed, which you can add to +your podcast player to get semi-regular updates of podcasts episodes that I +have found interesting, funny, or generally usefu.
