Podsumer – A Self Hosted Podcatcher

Podsumer subscribes to your podcast feeds and downloads them to your server for serving/listening from there. It can serve its own feeds to be used in your podcast app(s). Finally, it features a web based player for listening from anywhere. I run this behind gluetun so that feed and media downloads happen over VPN. I am an avid self-hoster. I made this podcatcher to handle my podcast listening needs. My goal isn't to make something that looks super slick, just something that is useable and gets the job done. I could really use some feedback from other self-hosting podcast listeners!

Podsumer – A Self Hosted Podcatcher launched on November 7, 2023 with 13 votes, #1,361 of 4,333 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

Podsumer is a self-hosted podcatcher that subscribes to podcast feeds and downloads episodes to a personal server for playback and serving to podcast apps. It includes a web-based player for listening from any location and can generate its own feeds for use across multiple podcast applications. Built by and for self-hosting enthusiasts, it prioritizes functionality over aesthetic polish and works well when run through a VPN tunnel.

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
