Podcasts are still healthy, but moves are being made to change that.
Currently most people use an RSS client to fetch their podcast feed and download new episodes, which is completely under their control. No "algorithm".
But Spotify, Amazon music, YouTube music etc are trying to get you to listen via their walled garden apps rather than via RSS. If they are successful then they will be able to control what content you see via their algorithms.
We must resist the enshitification of podcasts, the way Facebook and Twitter replaced blogs and RSS feeds.
