#featurerequest Podcast hosting option and/or xml extension allowance

As a long time Wix user (since the beginning), I am really very happy and proud with Wix infrastructure and the vast options and app integration it provides to us.

podcasts are rapidly trending every day.

I am unfortunately disappointed that the Wix team still cannot integrate a solution for podcasters.

Even, if I want to host the files and control/configure them by myself, and create my own rss and xml files I can’t because of the xml file upload restriction.

Isn’t it frustrating being not allowed to upload a file type that you need for a podcast hosting but cannot upload because of file restriction on a HOSTING platform I already pay for monthly/yearly?

Wix’s biggest competitors now offer the option to host & easily configure the podcasts with an easy to use interface.

As a fan and a long time customer of Wix, I strongly encourage Wix to make the podcast hosting possible soon either with an easy interface&app for those who don’t know about rss handling and/or allow people to upload xml file at least to be able to configure without a proper app/manually.

#featurerequest I hope this will be integrated fast because podcasters are rising up dramatically and other webhosting sites already put a simple solution for their customer who publish podcasts within their sites. :sleepy:

Hi Alper, thank you for your detailed feedback.

Adding #FeatureRequest and #Podcast for visibility. I assume you’re already aware of our Wix Podcast Player , but if not, I encourage you to check out the link.

Since it’s been 4 years and there is still not a viable solution for creating a RSS feed I wanted to bump this up.

To @alperoz49 point, we still do not have a way to host podcasts and create a RSS to push to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. Squarespace offers this option so I would think since Wix has so many more options it would exist here too.

Wix’s Podcast Player is nice if you just want to have a simple feed but allowing users to host will frees up design restraints like creating episode pages with buttons or transcripts, or what ever else we may want.
