Share first. Manifesto second.
Smuggle starts as a simple shared podcast feed. Under the hood, it uses open podcast feeds so your audience can listen outside closed platform walls.
The digital cage vs. the open web
Subscription -> app lock-in -> dead links -> algorithmic taste.
After people understand the product, the open-web part matters: your recommendations should not be trapped inside one app, one login, or one algorithmic timeline.
Smuggle.fm
Smuggle uses open podcast feeds so your audience can listen outside closed platform walls. One shared feed instead of scattered links, delivered through apps that respect subscriptions by URL.
Why open podcast feeds matter
Once the product makes sense, this is the principle behind it.
Can I use it today?
Yes. The web platform is live: create a feed, add public episodes manually, and invite people to follow it. The iOS sharing flow comes next.
Why not just send links?
Links get lost. Smuggle turns them into a listening habit with your context attached.
Does it work with Spotify?
No. And that is the point. Spotify does not let listeners freely subscribe to any private RSS feed by URL. Closed platforms win when your listening, your taste, and your community stay trapped inside their interface. Smuggle.fm is built for the open podcast ecosystem: Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, AntennaPod, Podcast Addict, and other apps that still respect the simple idea that a feed is yours to follow. Smuggle is for public episodes, creator-approved audio, and feeds you have the right to share. The rebellion is openness, not theft.
