I see that doing a podcast is possible yet we’d have to cobble together a RSS feed ourselves. Are podcasts any simpler to do with Ghost or just the same? Is there a way to make many podcast “shows” with Ghost and have each on their own “page” and it was noted that content can be restricted. How much? If I have content that’s free then would that content still show up for people with premium subscriptions? It’s just really confusing.
Yes, you can put multiple podcasts on one Ghost site. Yes, you’ll probably want to edit the rss.hbs file(s), which means you need the ability to upload a custom theme (so not ghost.io’s starter plan). You can make it so that content doesn’t show up for users who can’t read it. Premium users can read free content, so that’s not a problem.
If you have more questions, please post them! I wasn’t 100% sure what exactly you needed in your first message. :)
If I have a free version shown to those who don’t pay then the premium members would see 2 versions of the same thing. People who do pay would see a free version of the podcast and then a paid version of the same podcast. I’d prefer to have it be like this person is viewing this, only show them this, not that. Free people see free people stuff and paid people see premium stuff. Is that possible without a lot of messing about?
I’m also interested in doing podcasts on ghost. but I don’t understand how I can host podcasts with ghost? 
It would be possible to write some css to only show the second audio file on the page, yes…
Ghost has an audio card. You can put a podcast in it. 
But … The “episode” theme has such a feature rich and appealing podcast episode player shown – is this just a mockup? Or does it really exist? And if so, how do we use it?
The audio player that comes with Ghost is really very basic …
This is an embed from transistor.fm, a dedicated podcast hoster. You can technically get that in every theme, but the episodes are stores with Transistor, not on Ghost

Ahhh, yes, I just found that little Transistor logo and understood that it’s their player, embedded.
So Ghost doesn’t bring its own, cool, feature rich, audio player that’s especially crafted for podcast episodes, right? Just the plain vanilla audio player? 
That’s too bad. Podcast episodes audio files can contain so much more information, even chapter images (not to mention chapter markers with time codes and chapter titles).
