Starpod is the easiest way to create a podcast website in 5 minutes or less and it is 100% free and open source.
You will need to configure your RSS feed and a few other pieces of info for your
podcast in starpod.config.mjs. We provide a util function defineStarpodConfig
that provides TypeScript types and enforces the correct formats for config
values.
An example config can be found here.
A very short tagline for your show. Generally, no more than one sentence. Less is more here.
Example:
blurb: 'A whiskey fueled fireside chat with your favorite web developers.',A somewhat longer description of what your show is about. This should still ideally be fairly short, and should usually be 2-4 sentences.
Example:
description:
'Veteran web developers RobbieTheWagner and Charles William Carpenter III host this informal, whiskey-fueled fireside chat with your favorite web devs. They discuss all things web development including JavaScript, TypeScript, EmberJS, React, Astro, SolidJS, CSS, HTML, Web3, and more. They take a unique approach and focus on getting to know the human side of developers and their hobbies outside of work, all while sampling a new whiskey that they rate on their unique tentacle scale.',A list of your show's hosts and their info.
Example:
hosts: [
{
name: 'RobbieTheWagner',
