Podcast hosting and distribution platform

RSS.com opened a public API, then its changelog went quiet

Current state
RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that spent late 2025 shipping ecosystem features — a public API, Podcasting 2.0 Location Tags, and a year of analytics lookback. Its changelog has not updated since December 2025, so more recent direction is unclear.
Where it's heading
The late-2025 arc pointed toward opening the platform up: an API for third-party automation and standards-based metadata. Whether that momentum continued isn't visible, as the feed has been silent for months.
Prediction
Insufficient recent data to predict confidently; the last visible direction was building API-driven integrations, but the months-long changelog gap makes any near-term call speculative.
