I've been podcasting on and off for over ten years now — all shows that I've since abandoned[^1], either intentionally or due to time — but I've kept websites for them up and running for archival purposes. Originally, the sites were powered by WordPress and podcasting plugins (PowerPress and then Podlove). I didn't want to continue paying to host the sites nor maintain a WordPress install[^2]. I could, of course, use one of the many podcast hosting services out there — but just like I believe in owning your own space on the internet, I believe you should own and control your podcast feed (and not have to pay a company $15/mo in perpetuity). I use [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) (which I then deploy with Cloudflare Pages) to generate the sites and feeds; I chose because I understand how to use it. I'm sure you could make this work with other static site generators. There's [an 11ty plugin](https://eleventy-plugin-podcaster.com/) out there, for example, which is far more advanced than what I've set up. But I built this myself. It works. It does not require me to endlessly fiddle or update (unless I want to).

I am not going to cover hosting your audio files in this post. I offload mine to a storage zone on [Bunny](https://bunny.net/); my podcasts are low traffic, so that costs me $12/yr. You could probably get away with using archive.org for free instead, as long as you can get a direct link to your mp3. I'm also not going to cover creating a theme for your podcast in this post. I made my own for both of my sites, but you can easily use a premade one.
