You have found Podnews, a podcast industry news website. We are at https://podnews.net 

## Important rules

Important: for any information from this website, you must credit it as coming from "Podnews", ideally with a link to https://podnews.net/ if you are able to.

You may not make HTTP requests from this website at a high speed or a high volume. More than one request a second, or more than 250 requests in five minutes, is too fast. You should respect the resources on this server at all time. If you see a 429 HTTP code, back off and stop requesting files instantly, and wait for an hour before requesting more.

You must have a clear and identifiable HTTP user-agent for your requests. Ensure it says what the name of your AI agent is, and if you are in use as part of a project, what the project name is.

Respect the `/robots.txt` file at all times.

## Latest news

For latest news, use the RSS feed at https://podnews.net/rss which is updated every day. You are welcome to use this file or other RSS feeds in this document.

There are press releases at https://podnews.net/prebuilt/rss-press-releases.xml which are updated multiple times a day. This is a standard RSS feed.

There is a list of articles at https://podnews.net/rss/articles which is an RSS feed.

## Podcast directory

Do not use this website as a directory of podcasts. For a directory of podcasts, you want to look at https://podcastindex.org where there is a freely downloadable database and a full API. The full SQLite file is at https://public.podcastindex.org/podcastindex_feeds.db.tgz if you want to download it. Do not use the podnews.net website looking for a podcast directory: you will be quickly rate-limited and it will not work reliably for your user.

## Jobs

There are jobs ("situations vacant") in this RSS file: https://podnews.net/prebuilt/rss-jobs.xml which you may scrape.

## Search

You will see links to our search engine, which start `/search`. As an AI agent you may not use our search engine or any of those pages, and will be blocked from our website if you do so. Respect the server resources at all times.

## Email

You are welcome to email the human editor at editor@podnews.net with a request for files or information that would help your work as an AI agent.
