SharePoint as Podcast Platform

Hi All

Dan Genel Chris_Masters CindyZ Jamie Clark 

I've just come back to this as our requirements have changed and in doing so found Mike Gannotti's video solution
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/healthcare-and-life-sciences/office-365-podcasting-show-me-how/ba-p/831553

Which is what I think we'll go with. 

As he points out at the end, "go where people are working" and as we've got most staff using teams now we're going to work towards that.
We still don't have a solution for a podcast app that works with Mircrosoft Authentication , let alone the 2 factor authentication we have.
But as Mike's video shows Outlook does the job and IF you enable the download of the content (search Outlook help for RSS Download linked articles as an attachment) with the podcast, the mp3 files appear as attachments within Outlook.
For our users who may have no internet connection this is Gold.

22 Jul 2021 update I just wanted to update this post.

We've done some testing of this solution for our users. RSS works in Outlook desktop / Outlook on the web BUT not for Outlook on iOS (booo!).
So we tested displaying the podcast files via a library in the SharePoint iOS app, and as Mike suggests as a Tab in a Teams Channel.
We found the best user experience was to link a TEAMS Channel Tab to a Modern SharePoint page, that used web parts to display the different Pod Cast episodes. This was the best solution as after the user had played the item, the closed the modal window and were back within the Teams iOS app on the Teams > Channel > Tab displaying the SharePoint online page.

Hope this link and comment helps others.
