Personal websites are attracting attention again as people rediscover the value of owning a domain, controlling their work, and building an Internet outside...
I started doing a radio show / podcast on an online station a couple of years ago. To start with I just put it on their site and Mixcloud and that was that.
But 18 months ago I had to part ways with them, so figured I’d probably just carry on doing it and putting it on Mixcloud. But I needed somewhere to stream live, so I had to put together a website.
Long story short; yeah, I now have my own website, with Owncast and Icecast subdomains and my show is available as a podcast that has an RSS feed.
As an added bonus, seeing as I already have a VPS, I’ve created a bunch of subdomains that I use to redirect some services that are hosted on my home server.
I’m sorry I can’t provide a link, I have enough listeners as is. Recently I became a victim of identity theft so I needed to make it very clear to my audience that I am in fact myself, so I start every episode by stating my home address, credit card information and social security number. A new listener is not a good idea. I suggest you find a nice conch and go listen to the sea, that always calms me down.
If you reply to this comment with your home addres, credit card details and social security number, then I’ll reach out to you if one of my listerners leaves.

It’s fun.
Out of curiosity, what do you podcast about?
It’s music radio but I make it available as a podcast for those who can’t listen live.
Every week there’s a theme, and people suggest tunes that fit the theme. It’s actually become quite popular, which is nice.
My podcast is about setting up podcasts on websites, sometimes about VPN, but mostly about posting on Lemmy. I’m doing a podcast right now.
If you’re comfortable linking, I’d like to listen to a podcast about posting on Lemmy haha

That’s really a shame. It sounds right up my alley. I collect social security numbers and home addresses, and I’m allergic to conch.
