Make Podcast available in Amazon and Microsoft platform too.

Amazon - Introducing of Alexa target more audience from Amazon and its good to start to support Velicham Dars in Amazon too.

Microsoft - Good to have because of windows affinity.

Thanks.

Amazon (and Alexa) supports podcasts through Spotify and tunein applications which consume rss file (need to check if any special tags.)

Integration with Microsoft is more straightforward and we have to register rss feed in Bing webmaster and verify the rss ownership.

Bing Webmaster url - https://www.bing.com/webmaster/configure/verify/ownership/?url=https://velicham-onlive.github.io/

SoundCloud is another option which supports multiple podcast distribution platform (need to explore more.)

So, I think we can create a generic template which accepts the bare minimum inputs like - Title, Audio location, publish date, etc .. and convert platform-specific rss file through XML transformation (using git build automation).
Please share your thoughts.
