Lossless Podcasts

Does anyone know of streaming or hosting service that provides FLAC podcasts? I'm mainly thinking of the common dance/EDM related stuff, however, I image any cast could be in high quality.  It seems odd that you can stream Hi-def content through service like Tidal however podcasts as left out.

Dude, why? The beauty of the podcasts is that they are talk audios and they can be as low as 16/24kbps.

That may be the style of podcast you prefer, but it is far from the extent of the podcast ecosystem. 

The answer most probably lies in licensing.  Streams are "harder to keep" and easier to license lossless than downloads.

Creature of habit.
