Usenet indexers don't seem great for podcasts, but omg is is my go-to.

I don't know any podcast trackers, but thegeeks is open for signups rn and it's good for educational stuff, which includes podcasts (it's a bit difficult to build ratio, but files are relatively small)

I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble unless they're seeding without a VPN from their home network. I have a seedbox and just keep seeding until my storage fills up, then I run a purge of well-seeded content.

if there's something important that I'm missing, please let me know!

Do note that some private trackers (do you have communities dedicated to trackers here?) require you to access from a residential network. They say they'll ban you if you use a VPN or tor or whatever:

1. Some seedboxes give you VPN access for free that uses the same machine and IP that the seedbox is using
2. It's usually pretty obvious when looking up IP addresses whether they're residential or commercial
3. I've never seen anyone banned for VPN use on a private tracker, but I've never been social on private trackers (sometimes people get banned for "no reason," and there's always a chance this was the reason)

Why? Racists and fascists can stay on their own instance. If you want to read those posts so bad, just find a server that federated with exploding heads or whatever. Or run your own instance, the one your account is on doesn't federated with either exploding heads nor lemmygrad.
