RIP, you old soul
well that $100 to use Soundcloud to host my podcast was wasted money

SoundCloud remains in dire straits. Yesterday (July 12), it was revealed the streaming platform only has enough funding to last until the fourth quarter of 2017.
The folks at TechCrunch report the startup addressed last week’s layoffs—which slashed 40 percent of SoundCloud’s staff—during a “tense” meeting with its employees and former employees yesterday. Apparently, those who were laid off wanted explanations for why they were given no warning before they were cut, and the remaining staff wanted to be reassured the staff cuts would preserve their jobs for the long term.
Unfortunately, neither group really got the answers they wanted. SoundCloud founders Alex Ljung and Eric Wahlforss revealed that despite their intentions, their platform only have enough funds to last until this year’s fourth quarter, which, according to TechCrunch, begins in 50 days. The streaming service’s PR confirmed to TechCrunch that SoundCloud does, indeed, only have funding into the fourth quarter of this year, but they are talking to investors.

That would be a shame if they can't figure out how to turn it around. Great service. The internet will be less without it....until something better comes along.

The one's worth a damn will figure out how to self host. It's really not that hard.
ETA: Or go to squarespace, etc.

Yeah, but iTunes and Google Play just index the podcasts, they don't host.

That's a shame!
I feel like their compressed recording quality is really good.
And their app does some of the cleanest recordings with a simple phone mic.
