The short version
Norsolia is a small, independent podcast host for individual authors, running since 2020. It stores audio and serves a valid RSS feed, pages and an embeddable player. Free during the beta, request-only paid plans, no payments yet. We do not publish subscriber or revenue numbers, because there is nothing honest to say about scale this early.
