I use Spotify for music and all podcasts. I pay for it to avoid ADS. I think you can get all podcasts for free, if you endure those ads. Have no idea how intrusive they are, if they've done it well we ads are short.

Believe it or not...I'm still listening to podcasts on my Zune, almost daily.
Ultimately a podcast has a URL (preferably from an RSS feed), and a link to an MP3. The Zune software no longer works with many sites, so I've automated the retrieval of the actually MP3 file, and point my Zune software to it - as far as it's concerned, it doesn't see any different. Don't feed the beasts (I'm specifically looking at you, Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
As to where exactly you might find a good, reliable URL for your podcast, YMMV.

following this. I use either iHeart Media which is sending me lots of ads or SiriusXM which I pay for(I know) but XM doesn't have all my favorite podcasts. So if I find something better I would jump in a second.

I've installed this, and it seems to be the "Preview" version. What's that all about?

Anything useful is either in preview or discontinued. Just kidding!

Don't know, but many (most?) gov.uk forms - that we HAVE to use for tax, pensions, cars etc - are marked as "BETA". There's no option to go back to the previous "version"...

I always found it amusing that the internet is built on documents that are named "Request For Comments" which stands for RFC.
Historically those documents were specifically that - a 'request' for others to 'comment' on.
But somehow at some point those became the form of the actual formal specification.
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed... When people refer to Internet "standards", I sometimes remind them that they're really just "suggestions" π
|
|
|
|

Like the specifications published by ITU, the International Telecommunications Union - they are just 'recommendations'.
(For those who do not know: ITU recommendations are those with a single letter, a dot and a decimal number, such as X.25, X.509, G.728, Q.700 ...)

I've using the little tool "Default Programs Editor", and although sometimes it's a bit strange, it works. However, whenever Window$, VideoLan, or InfraView does an update, a whole bunch of icons get redone to the stupid traffic cone or cat icons of those latter 2 apps  , thus causing me to have to go through the tedious process to put in my own prefered icons for image, sound & video files.
I've had enough of this, and I can't take it anymore!
I want a tool that lets me keep some type of batch file such that when these icon extinction events happen, I can just run the tool with the existing batch file, and be done with it.
Any ideas?

Part of the problem might be that you are using icons from a DLL/EXE that is updated.
Create a private stash (way out of the system path!) of the DLL/EXE and reference that copy for your icons.

I do have a private stash where I keep the icon files - they don't get deleted, but they stop working in Explorer.
