Some radio stations, such as LBC, put old programmes as a podcast.
These can be streamed from various podcast outlets with apps like
Spotify, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, etc.
Where do the podcast outlets obtain their podcasts from? Is there a
central clearing place which a podcaster like LBC uploads its podcast
to and then the streaming companies take a copy? Alternatively, does
LBC upload to each individual podcast streaming outlet separately?
Do the competing "big player" podcast outlets have broadly similar
catalogues or would a listener need several different apps to track
down a particular podcast?
It used to be so simple. You put up your file then did an rss link to it and sent it to google, or had feedburner look at the rss and keep a master list. Then Goggle withdrew the service and the whole thing became a mess. Apple tend to do a directory, but they prefer it in their format, not rss and that enables them to use DRM.
Now the big players all tend to have a chargeable podcast tier and even attach adverts to the free stuff to make money. Now I know that everyone has to fund a bit of web space, bandwidth etc, but it is beginning to look like the one man band podcast days are numbered now. I tend these days to say,
if its not got an rss feed then get stuffed.

It's quite difficult to find a BBC podcast on the BBC site. (The search
box searches the whole BBC site.) They keep pushing you to the BBC
Sounds app even if all you want is information about the programme, and
they don't properly distinguish between programmes which are podcasts
and those that aren't. It's also difficult to find the RSS feed address
to put into a third party podcatcher such as Podcast Addict.

It's not really as straighforward as I would like especially as the web

I had the opposite issue, I wanted meet the leader on bbc radio
London. Found the file OK it said it ran for 35mins or some such, but
after I got it it was the whole morning show, several hours in length
and I had to shove it into a sound editor and find the bit I
needed,cutting the rest out.
Bah humbug.

split into chunks of 7 or 8 minutes on the Sounds app, while the full programme is a bit hidden. I seem to recall subscribing to chunks does
not also subscribe you to the full programme.
I don't have the option of downloading the programme audio file because
I listen to the BBC almost exclusively on the Sounds app. This brings
up another difficulty which is its poor navigation through a programme.
For example the time markings on the slider are in very small type, when
the slider is used it doesn't display the time of where you are, the
buttons provided offer only 20 second skips, and more. It would be
relatively straightforward to design a less constrained interface.
Similar screen controls are found in several other music/podcast
players which seems to show a lack of imagination.
However I mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth because streaming BBC programmes is really useful and I'm grateful for it.
By the way, how do the BBC's servers handle all the demands made by
thousands (if not millions) of listeners starting at different points in their chosen programme and skipping about. There must be a lot of
traffic to service all the requests. I'm sure caches somewhere along
the route help out but it still seems quite a lot of traffic and the
BBC handles it almost faultlessly.

If I subscribe to the podcast on another app it would still show up as a stream/download as it comes from the BBC server. I just need to know what
the address is.

What type of 'device'/computer are you using?
I find that get-iplayer works nicely and gives me 320k aac files
which may sound better than lower formats. get-iplayer runs on
various OSs. Works for BBC 'podcast' files as well as sheduled ones.

I just use VLC (or Audacity on Linux for audio). Again, the question
is wrt your choice of device/computer, but VLC runs on various OSs.
However I mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth because streaming
BBC programmes is really useful and I'm grateful for it.

points in their chosen programme and skipping about. There must be a
lot of traffic to service all the requests. I'm sure caches
somewhere along the route help out but it still seems quite a lot of
traffic and the BBC handles it almost faultlessly.
They use some 'content delivery network' (CDN) services that keep
copies of their files in various machines around the country. This
means you can have many servers providing the material. If you wish, get-iplayer will let you decide which delivery supplier to use (or
ignore) if they vary. And the BBC's own servers can then palm off a
lot of the loading to the other CDNs. Means the system can be scaled
up or down by the BBC without the BBC having to buy more hardware or
bin it, or change their own staff involved.
FWIW This may give the general idea http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/BBC/AudioFactory/AudioFactory.html
but it is now out of date in some ways. Maybe time I did a new
version, however it gives the general idea. Note that 'Flash' is now
an unloved memory we don't regret having cease! It was a PITA.

Downloading audio or multimedia files with Get-iplayer is a bit too fiddly
for me and the controls for skipping through such a file in VLC (skip
forward or back and goto) aren't that much better compared to the BBC
Sounds App.
So I'm impressed a CDN can handle so much traffic and in near real-time.
If 100 listeners all started the same audio programme and then each
skipped to a different part of it, there could be 100 times the traffic >unless there is some clever caching going on in the network and, depending

That's quite a startling statistic! You'd think _they_ would benefit
from some regional cacheing, if that's the case.

Thanks for the Audio Factory link. I hadn't realised you were HiFi News aristocracy! The AF seems for input feeds although it involves some rationalisation of output stream types. You also mentioned a "content delivery network" service which is probably what I am asking about.
Playing BBC radio through Sounds has remarkably little latency and the listener can then skip about the programme with little buffering delay.
It's works rather well.

(Paul, in the Windows groups, is an expert on ffmpeg [and much else].)
If you search your system for files with ffmpeg in their name, its
amazing how many utilities are actually GUI wrappers for ffmpeg!

No. (shudder!) It is a simple 'play the file' utility that is a part of the
ffmpeg 'family' of programs. It can be used to see if you can play a file >which may not work with some other programs, or to check it in some way.
Similarly there is ffprobe which will list the details of a file. e.g. I
use it to read chapter mark locations in a file before using a simple
ffmpeg based program to snip it. Or more often to generate a series of
'start here' files I can then simply click on the start VLC playing from
that place. Again, I wrote a ROX app to help make this simpler. I like ROX
on Linux as it gives me a good user interface in terms of filer actions.
FWIW I tend to get the 'current' ffmpeg family and put them in user space
as a better alternative to the versions (sometimes renamed) that come with
a Linux distro.
