PodGrinder

A project intended to operate as a webserver with a http form or URL variable input that filters and sanitizes the input and passes it to the backend to download and process as a valid RSS Podcast Feed. Intended for personal use to aggregate various sources and mediums of content to feed to my podcast app. Like a meatgrinder for making sausage of scrap meat!!

Making the RSS Feed

• Admin and backend for generating RSS feed
  • https://podcastgenerator.net/
• IT'S WORKING!!!
  • This step is functional at podcast.n4vx.net. I don't expect you to get much out of this. It's a personal project. The setup came from https://podcastgenerator.net/ pretty much out of the box without much headache. I still cannot get my podcast app to pull my custom image but whatever...
