Just My Opinion
I don't like the hosting offered by Riverside. You can't add a prefix enclosure (yet) and their stats are not IAB certified.... yet. This is frustrating for those looking for ceertified metrics externally in places like Op3 or Podtrac. I'd rather they innovate their recording tools and focus on building better sounding podcasts. I think they are just getting into the hosting game to make it harder for podcasters to leave. If Riverside is controlling the feed, it is one more reason not to go to a place like Descript who do not offer hosting.
We need better sounding podcasts. Not more podcast hosts.
