In 2020, Podcasting 2.0 introduced the transcript tag after Apple had declined any changes for 15 years.
However, in 2024, Apple finally adopted the Podcasting 2.0 transcript tag for Apple Podcasts.
Beyond being a commendable and fair move by Apple, this marks a significant victory for open ecosystems, for podcasting as a whole, and for the Podcasting 2.0 initiative.
It is our duty to celebrate this achievement, and it is my honor to do so at FOSDEM 2025.

@rmondello It’s one of the best things about the Fediverse — the freedom to choose your own software and still communicate with everyone else, no matter what they're using. I'm happy with Mastodon (with @ivory as the client), but other people can choose a different client or use Misskey, Pleroma, @pixelfed (for photos), @peertube (for videos), @Castopod (for podcasts) or a number of other things. Even then we can still engage with each other. That’s a very refreshing notion if you ask me.
🇪🇺 The Next Generation Internet (NGI) programme, vital for Europe’s digital sovereignty, is missing from Horizon Europe’s 2025 draft.
Since 2020, NGI has funded over 500 projects, including Castopod, supporting free software and digital commons.
Its removal threatens innovation, collaboration, and the sustainability of Europe’s open-source ecosystem.
NGI has proven essential for fostering technological independence and interoperability.
📢 Spread the word.

In today's episode of the #FocusOnLinux #podcast advent calendar we’re thrilled being joined by @benjaminbellamy.
He shares the origin and future of the #Castopod project. Castopod simplifies publishing podcasts and makes it easy to directly communicate with your audience.

Moin #FCSP people,
das tolle an Standards ist, dass man hier und dorthin umziehen kann, ohne dass ihr das merkt ;)
Der ST POP Podcast residiert nu auch auf meinem eigenen Server:

Per @Castopod ans #Fediverse angebunden.
Pls follow @stpaulipop und pls boost! 
@RadicalEcologist @wendy That's exactly the plan.
@wendy Transcription will be based on Whisper, running locally. But it will be customizable.
@skobkin Yes, the whole point is to be able to customize the workflow so that it answers your needs!

@ucas It will be made customizable so that it can be added later though.
@box_yld I love easyeffect but it serves a totally different purpose (real time audio filters).
@Optional Yes but @ultraschall relies on Reaper which is not open-source not free to use.
The idea is also a tool made specifically for podcasters.
@ucas Probably not.
