Podcast hosting

Host your podcast where the media already lives

A channel in Fairu publishes a feed every podcast client reads. The episodes are files in your own library — audio and video in the same show, played by a player you brand yourself.

Why hosting belongs next to the files

One library, one feed, one player

A podcast host keeps a copy of your audio and hands you a feed. Everything else about the show — the artwork, the video cut, the clips for social — lives somewhere else, and the two drift apart from the first episode.

01 / 03

The challenge

The audio is on the podcast host, the video is on a video platform, the artwork is in the asset library. Three tools, three exports, and the same episode described three times.

02 / 03

The solution

A channel is a show. Its episodes are files you already store, with their own rights, metadata and delivery. The feed is generated from that channel, and an existing show is imported from its feed.

03 / 03

The result

One place records what an episode is. The feed, the embedded player and the public channel page all read it, so a correction lands everywhere at once.

What a show gets on Fairu

01 / 06

A feed clients accept

RSS 2.0 with the iTunes namespace and the Podcasting 2.0 tags: seasons and episode numbers, episode type, explicit flag, a show-level podcast:guid and per-episode chapters.

02 / 06

Audio and video in one show

An episode is a file. Video is streamed as HLS, audio plays from the file itself, and the feed carries whichever the episode holds with its own duration and byte length.

03 / 06

A player you brand

Embed a channel or a single episode with an iframe. The accent colour and the player's options are settings on the channel, read when the page is requested — so a snippet copied a year ago stays current.

04 / 06

Bring a show you already publish

Point the import at an existing feed and Fairu reads it: episodes, seasons, show notes, chapters and artwork. Re-run it and the same episodes update rather than duplicate.

05 / 06

Publish on a date

An episode carries the date it goes out. Scheduled episodes stay out of the feed and off the channel page until then, and the newest one is listed first.

06 / 06

Notes, chapters and duration

Show notes keep their links in content:encoded, chapters are served as a JSON file the client can jump through, and the running time is read from the media rather than typed in.

In the app

A show, organised in seasons

Episodes, seasons and play counts sit next to your other assets — the channel view below is where you record what a show is and publish it.
