Idea for new milestone: RSS feeds with our classic campaigns
Added 2019-07-02 13:02:00 +0000 UTCI've often heard from listeners that they re-listen to our classic campaigns. I've also heard from listeners that it's hard to find and download older episodes because our RSS feed is so long. The technical limits of the feed prevents the entire episode archive (over 600 episodes!) from being listed. This means that our backlog is gradually disappearing in most podcast apps.
I have created a new solution for this problem. I can create new static sites that mirror classic campaigns. Each one will be posted in reverse order, so episode 1 will be at the top of the site. This also means that each new site creates a RSS feed that can plug into any podcasting app. I have created a test site using the Final Revelation campaign.
Click here for the RSS feed for the Final Revelation classic campaign.
If this interests you all, I will create a new milestone for the Patreon. At $2400 a month, I will create one new classic campaign mirror site for every month we are at that goal. I will start with Know Evil.

Sounds good. I can barely keep up with the current APs, but I'd love to go back and listen to Know Evil or God's Teeth again one day. Edit - that link gives me an error at the moment.
