Podcast-Hosting for Flash Briefing?

Hello, I wonder if there is a podcast hoster that provides a working RSS-Feed for a flash briefing? Any recommendations?

I'm not a developer and I thing something like this would be an easy solution, or am I wrong?

Best,

Florian

On github there have been several code snippets that allow for relatively easy manipulation of podcast feeds into flash briefing format, including one specifically for soundcloud.

The problem I've seen is that most podcast hosting services don't use HTTPS links to the episodes in the RSS feed and therefore can't be saved in the Alexa skill settings. If anyone knows of a podcast hosting service that will pass this validation, it would be good to know.

I have been trying since early December to make this happen. Lack of information. Waiting on email responses. I made my site ssl but someone said it would put too much load on my host....so I am on trying solution 4 now. Not looking good. Might have to find a tech person on fivrr to sort it out. I think my brain cells are tapped.
