Some are available through SoundCloud or YouTube but a lot are only through their direct link in the RSS feed.\r\n\r\nI propose two ideas for this:\r\n1. Allow direct `.mp4`, `.mp3`, etc. links (and maybe either fetch metadata from Tags and/or allow us to modify the info when we add it.\r\n2. To take it further, we could add an RSS item. Instead of putting the video/audio link, you would put the RSS and it would let you add either the latest episode, give you a list to pick one, or when it detects a new item (the system would check the feed 1-2 times a day), it would auto-add it to the playlist at the bottom.\r\n\r\nSince they won't have a player, it would have to use the HTML5 `<video>` or `<audio>` tag. Also, some podcast hosts do have a player that you might be able to enable for select file URLs (For example, Archive.org hosts many podcasts and they have an embed).\r\n\r\nThis would be a big thing to implement and may not be done in one chunk, but I think it would greatly enhance the site."}}
