Q: How do private podcasts work and do you allow for chronological episode order?
I'm a course creator who wants to use this for the audio-only versions of my courses (as a replacement to Hello Audio and the now defunct bCast).
I'm looking to both include embeddable podcasts within my existing course platform and also let students add the private podcast to their own player with an RSS feed.
But I've run into issues with other apps trying to put the episodes in reverse chronological order (like a typical episodic podcast) when I want it in chronological order so people can press play in the embedded player and listen to episode 1, then 2, then 3. Can Disctopia do that?
Also, is there a "landing page" for the private podcasts for students to add them to their podcast player of choice? Most will want them added to their regular player instead of downloading a new app, and copying the RSS file directly is confusing.

You can choose:

Q: Can I embed an updating podcast?
Is it possible to embed a podcast playlist that automatically shows the most recent 5-10 episodes (and continues to update when I add new episodes)?
