Having a look at funkwhale myself. I uploaded my podcast to an instance over there, if you are curious there is what it looks like:
@gurusofcomedy
"at'gurusofcomedy'at'open.audio"
(which can be followed in mastofdon)
or
https://open.audio/channels/gurusofcomedy
Here is an embedded mp3 file from that feed, I imagine one could swap these out for your regular hosting option, like podbean or buzzsprout:

Obviously this is very new but I think there's opportunity to build on top of it.
I could see a way of offering volunteer pinning services in a relatively automated manner, and maybe some users would build filecoin into it to help with cost.
I could even see a way of adding lightning on top of said service offering.

The flow would be:
Podcasting 2.0, for example, would sign up on any given pinning service. This service can be free or paid, mostly depends on the implementation details of the service -- main example is currently Pinata (https://pinata.cloud) which has both offerings.
When a new episode is released, P20 would add their audio files to IPFS and ask whatever pinning services they want to pin them via CID.
@davekeeshan @dave I forgot to mention, a bit of research I did for IPFS led me to pinning services, which appear to be a brand new official spec.
It's a way of offering to pin files for other users, paid or free based on authentication.

Little something I've been playing with on the side. Sort of a type-based reactive event abstraction library. Far from complete though.
Just got multicast negotiation/consensus working to allow multiple nodes on a lan communicate types to each other without configuration.

@dave I stumbled upon this project while researching different ways to potentially bridge lightning into existing application infrastructure.
Activitypub could allow for decentralized comments on podcast "posts" (episodes) while linking into a value block from an RSS feed could allow integration. Kind of a "why not both" approach.
@dave have you seen this, or perhaps other solutions like it?
I've been reading a bit about different tribes of decentralization and noticed a weird divide between rss/websub/indieweb vs activitypub/linked data.
Wondering if something like this might help bridge the gap.

Hope this is the start of a good conversation.

I'm not convinced VISA joining the party is a good thing.
A bit out of date because keysend is so new, but still a nice reference from what I can tell.

Interesting chart on Lightning Network Capacity
Fascinating read. I actually got bit by this over a year ago moving ~2 PB of data with rsync.
