What they are

RSS.com

RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that stores audio files, generates an RSS feed, and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Independent podcasters and small teams use it to get shows live without technical setup. The platform includes basic analytics and a simple website builder, though advanced analytics and monetization tools are thin compared to some competitors.

Zencastr

Zencastr records each participant's audio and video locally on their own device, then uploads separate high-quality tracks to the cloud, eliminating the internet-connection degradation that plagues other remote recording tools. It is aimed at podcasters and interview-based creators who need clean, separated tracks without shipping microphones to guests. The built-in editing, transcription, and podcast hosting features cover the full production workflow in one place, though power editors will still reach for dedicated DAWs.
