🎉 Apple Podcasts now supports chapters—including the Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:chapters> tag!
This is the second time Apple has embraced a community-driven standard (after transcripts in March 2024), proving that the "not-invented-here" syndrome is NOT a fatality.
Chapters + transcripts = better discoverability, accessibility, and search for the entire podcast ecosystem.
The network effect is beginning. 🚀

Have you heard of @danb's https://isitreallyfoss.com/ ?
It evaluates if software is truly Free and Open Source - not just in license, but in practice. It checks for proprietary dependencies, build transparency, and whether users can actually compile from source.
This matters because true software freedom means you can run, study, modify, and distribute without barriers.
Castopod isn't listed yet, so we've opened an issue: https://codeberg.org/danb/isitreallyfoss/issues/132

FediForum, the online event that brings together the people who move the Open Social Web forward, starts in one hour!
We expect a number of rather interesting announcements. If you are registered, you get a heads-up just about now by e-mail.
You can still join us, online! https://fediforum.org
We are saddened by the passing of @Todd_Blubrry, a true pioneer of podcasting and a lifelong advocate of open RSS.
We had the chance to meet him at Podcast Movement 2019, when Castopod was only an idea. He listened, advised, and encouraged us.
His values will continue to guide the podcasting world.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
🚀 Castopod 1.13.5 is available.
This one smooths a couple of rough edges and tidies the engine room.
🔏 In the fediverse module, posts now include an is_private field so private posts stay out of public views.
📅 We fixed the episodes season/year dropdown by giving it a max height with auto-scroll.
💬 We added the Discourse social network.
➕ Plus some other stuff…
