Very interesting idea. For now, we won't replace the RSS distribution model (for now...). Uncut is not a hosting platform and you can divide your episodes into memorable and tradable moments right from your RSS feed.
i worked for majelan, and some content owners were not happy where their rss feeds (untouched and not monetized by us like a lot of podcast app) and i understood that the rights around rss are fuzzy at best. and when you have a public and a private rss feeds it's a mess to monetize and keep access (see Apple, Spotify). RSS is web1. I am sure smart contract is part of a more globalize solution of decentralized right management (I have a lot of discussion with Mihai from https://info.watchbeem.com/ not for RSS but for videos. Newsletters are too (and i am working now on newsletters).
Personally, I don't believe in content monetization, nor in subscriptions and private RSS feeds. It's too Web2 :-) Content should remains free and accessible but ownership can be shared and exchanged (NFTs). It also allows you to turn your "owners" (not users) into advocates. Also, doing that at a moment level vs episode allows you to not give away the entire ownership but just a piece of it.
I don't know it it's the idea, but I always think smart contract was the best way to replace or augment rss distribution
