tbh if rss.com nuked u without feedback , it usually triggers a specific flag in their system , either ai-generated audio signatures or aggressive outbound linking in the show notes . we saw this happen with a few client shows last year that used elevenlabs voices . even if the topic is white hat , the audio fingerprint triggers their spam filters .
for distribution , spotify for podcasters ( ex-anchor ) is still the king of infrastructure . its free and since its owned by spotify , the api indexing is instant . it pushes to apple/google/amazon podcasts automatically via the rss feed .
if u want something less corporate-controlled , look at redcircle . we shifted a few networks there . their free tier is solid and they are way more lenient on grey content structures than the big guys . distribution is just an xml feed at the end of the day , as long as the host creates a valid rss , the reach is identical across all platforms .
