For a while, @Podnews podcasting news has had a page for a podcast, and then a separate page for an episode list. That didn't make an awful lot of sense, so now, they're both on the one page: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5

Each episode links to @Podlink, will show a (janky) transcript if one exists, or location information. Data for this section comes directly from the RSS feed, in your browser (if we can) or proxied by us (if we can't).

This should hopefully cut down on the amount of bot traffic we get (I've just lowered our number of pages by 50% after all!).
