Read the transcript and chapter guideWhat Feedcast is, in one paragraph
Feedcast is a Mac app that sits between a podcast source and the player you already use. It keeps a personal copy of each episode, transcribes it, keeps or writes its chapters, cuts out the sponsor reads it finds, evens out the sound, and publishes the result as an ordinary RSS feed.
It is not a podcast host, a replacement player, or somewhere to store your library in the cloud. Your Mac holds the media and serves it. Online hosting publishes the list of episodes on its own, for the apps that need a web address to subscribe.
