Podcast site

A fictional podcast called Tales from fairer times with a solo producer. This example shows some podcast-specific techniques for setting up a site.

This is how their site directory looks like:

In this site, the podcast is a multitrack release, and that release page itself is the homepage. The episodes (tracks) are organized by season, and the tracks in each season are assigned a common season theme through a defaults manifest that propagates its settings to the tracks.
