An RSS feed is a text document that lists each podcast, where to find the audio, where to find the podcast cover image, etc. This is how podcasts are published. When a new podcast is published, the RSS feed document is updated. An RSS feed can be hosted anywhere on the internet but many are hosted through RSS service providers who also host the audio files.
To make a nostr podcasting client, you need to integrate with RSS protocol. But, you can publish special nostr-only episodes as nostr events, you can verify an RSS feed belongs to a nostr pubkey, you can associate nostr comments with podcast episodes, and you can do zaps and lightning stuff.
To make a podcast fully on nostr would make it incompatible with all major podcasting software.
However, things like npub.pro create an RSS feed for you based on your nostr events that contain audio or video, allowing anyone to start publishing a podcast very easily. That's really cool!
