Why is Retro Computing Roundtable no longer on Apple Podcasts?

I’m in Denmark, if that matters.
I thought Retro Computing Roundtable had ended, or took a very long break, until I by chance saw them on Overcast, where there are several new episodes.

What gives?
It’s so much more convenient to have all my podcasts in one place.

Is there another way to set up a link in Apple Podcast? RSS? A link to that?

Apple podcasts? What the hell is that?

They have a website: https://rcrpodcast.com

Why involve apple? See problem solved. Your welcome.

Why do we have podcast apps?

While I’m very happy that the podcast still exists, checking a website once in a while or receiving an email when a new one is up, is not really viable in the longer run.

Overcast is fine. But I prefer one app. Especially when you do playlists or do searches.
 
Apps? Sorry don't use those.

I'm perfectly capable of keeping track of things I like rather than relying on large evil companies to do it for me and to tell me what they think I should like.
 
Sorry for the long delay in responding, but it should be back on Apple podcasts now. There are actually two feeds, one an "archive" feed that has the episodes up to number 262 and should never change again, and one the current feed. If your feed stops at 262, you're on the archive feed. (Some of this happened because we rather suddenly lost our hosting platform and though we tried to migrate people to the new one automatically, it may not have worked.) Searching again should find it again. As of me typing this, we're about to record episode 282. The episodes have become more one-every-month-and-a-half now rather than one-every-two-weeks, but there are definitely episodes after 262 and Apple should be able to find them again.

That's funny, because it's the lack of that mindset that's made the Internet, and software in general, the disaster that it is today. But go on continuing the Steve Jobs style: "I've told you what software you're going to use, and how you're going to use your computer, and if you don't find that convenient, suck it."

Some people want to use computers the way they like, not the way you and @VERAULT dictate they should use them. I'm not sure why you two feel you should be able to dictate your preferences to them.
