> Lightweight Symfony Broadcast Client, probably.

A small platform to create podcasts and episodes, host the audio files and share the RSS feed, with external sources download abilities.

Features include:

- Lightweight, bare minimum pages;
- Simple backoffice;
- Separate users manage their own podcasts;
- A download service to add episodes from an API or the command-line by providing a URL to download and a podcast slug; this service forwards everything to [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) (download) and [FFProbe](https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html) (metadata);

Podcasts follow mostly open standards but the “target” client is the fantastic [AntennaPod](https://antennapod.org/), and gPodder was used in development.
