Hey everyone! I'm excited to share Sidecaster, a simple and powerful way to turn your MP3 and M4A files into a private podcast feed you can follow in Apple Podcasts. Sidecaster is built to be simple and easy to use. You can import your files with drag-and-drop, edit show metadata, and edit each episode. It also has a built-in HTTP server to serve your RSS feed. Sidecaster is different from podcast apps that allow uploads because it never requires you to upload your files to someone else's servers. There are no accounts, no subscriptions, and no data leaves your Mac unless you deliberately share the feed on your local network. I'd love to hear your feedback and questions about Sidecaster. Let me know what you think and if there's anything I can do to improve the app. Thanks for checking it out!
