Castopod (mobile player + plugins) counters creator dependence on proprietary podcast platforms such as Spotify. Podcasters keep direct relationships with listeners through open protocols, can self-host (Castopod docs; examples only—not a canonical list):

koopa; setup docs
Projets Libres / LinuxFr.org
Wie Wat Bewaart

and extend their server with plugins for local legal and community needs instead of accepting one global policy.
