OK this from @steven is one of my new favorite Fedi apps that I've seen in a bit.
It opens almost every major podcast into the Fedi, making federated podcasts at scale a usable thing. Incredible to see it in the wild even in beta.
Huge credit to Steven for this app & to the team at PodcastIndex for the AP bridge that undergirds it. Early days but hugely impressive.
@davidpierce consider this for your next Installer.

I'm sorry but I don't think I understand. it searches and displays data from the podcast index that also has fedi info?
what I want is to transition podcasts from RSS to AP (not have a middleman) so that episodes are natively AP items and we could have podcatchers with boosting (the killer app here imo). that would let me see what episodes got boosted the most by the people I follow etc. so much potential once we make that change really.

That's correct. The Podcast Index runs a bridge that makes each feed and every episode available via ActivityPub using the ap.podcastindex.org bridge.
There is a Fediverse first podcast host called @Castopod . They still produce an RSS feed but each feed is an account episode is a post.

I subscribed in the last week to multiple podcasts with the podcastindex bridge, but I don't seem to receive new posts with episodes
@luca Strange. Do you have an example feed that didn't update? I can share that with the person that manages the bridge software.
@luca @380524 @Steven I think it’s because you hadn’t followed the account before. Posts start syncing to your Mastodon instance after you follow the account. So when new episodes are released to the podcast feed then you’ll see the new posts. At least, that is my rough understanding of how it works...
