Fourble turns lists of MP3 files hosted anywhere into podcasts

From their About Page:

> Fourble was built by Kevan Davis in August 2013.

> I created it because I wanted to listen to a hundred episodes of a 1940s radio series on archive.org while doing other things, but didn't have an easy framework for doing so. Putting a hundred audio files onto my phone would take up space and I'd forget which ones I'd listened to, manually copying a few new files every week would be a chore, and feeding them all into a custom Huffduffer podcast would be arduous and bordering on spam. Fourble lets me just point at the archive.org collection and automatically get one new episode delivered to my phone's podcast app each week.

It's like huffduffer.com It is always good to have more choice - in case a service dies. Thank you for the information about Fourble!

What does that mean? An mp3 file is a audio format and a podcast is about the content.
dublinben•6mo ago
A podcast is just a distribution method. It means digital audio files delivered over the Internet using RSS feeds.
