SimplePod is a Zola site generator theme used for podcasts. It has the following features:

• is simple -- focused on generating only a single podcast, not an all-in-one site that includes a blog, etc.
• generates an iTunes-compatible RSS feed at /rss.xml
• includes a web audio player
• the 'example/' directory contains an example site that uses this theme
• uses the pico css framework for styling -- no build step or npm packages required.

Add the following configuration variables to your config.toml file in the [extra] section:

• language - Language code for the podcast (e.g., "en-us")

• podcast_description - Long description of your podcast for the homepage
• podcast_logo - Path to podcast logo image (e.g., "/podcast-logo.svg")
