Description

Motivation

At the moment, we don't produce massive amounts of articles or podcast episodes. Thus, I'd like to not have them split in two channels but share a single one.

Approach

On the /blog/index page (which is mainly implemented on src/templates/blog-list.js, we should mix in both entries from the blog and the podcast.

Under the new website's navigation, this is known as 'Insights'. We'll keep the /blog url because it's already popular on the site.

Questions

  • Will the RSS reflect the page feed (mixed blog and podcast), or do people subscribe only to the articles? (#84)

Research direction

Start with src/templates/blog-list.js and trace how entries are loaded for the /blog/index page. Determine how blog and podcast entries can be combined while keeping the existing /blog URL, then verify that both appear on the page. Resolve whether the RSS feed should also mix both content types, as raised in the issue.
