Ever since I started podcasting in 2006, I've been using a company called \u201cHipcast\u201d to be the \u201chosting\u201d company for the podcast audio files and feeds. For those of you not familiar with podcasting, that's the website where I upload podcast audio files\u2026 and they then serve those files when requested by services like Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

\n

This has been an aggravating week or so, since Hipcast has been having a lot of technical issues going back to last Tuesday or so. Their website has been down, the podcast feeds (RSS feeds) have been broken. People haven't been able to listen to my podcasts unless they had already downloaded the episodes through their app.
