Castopod Offers Inexpensive Podcast Hosting To Fediverse

Props to @ramsey@phpc.social for alerting me about this, as I did not realize @Castopod@podlibre.social even offered this option! Prices start around €10 per month (there are also annual plans available) & Castopod is even offering a discount for those who sign up before the September 30th deadline.
It is awesome to see Fediverse platforms offer managed hosting solutions for their products, as it allows people & businesses (who lack the time and / or technical skills) to easily setup an instance while at the same time supporting the platform financially (it’s a win-win scenario).
There currently is not an official iPhone/iPad/Android app available, but for now people can use the website to upload their podcasting content.
