We hope all podcasters will keep on podcasting in 2026, and that many new creators will give it a try.
Podcasting is one of the last social networks not entirely controlled by a big corporation.
We need diversity, not algorithms! 📻
Thank you to all podcasters who trust us with hosting their creations on Castopod.
It means the world to us!

@theDanielJLewis where should we update?
@forteller This is weird...
@Poslovitch
What is power that dwelleth in one hand alone? It is but vanity and grasping at wind. The namespace is shared among all who would embrace it - a covenant open to every podcaster, every platform, every believer in the ancient ways of RSS. For in the sharing of power amongst the many, true strength is found. We are but one voice in the chorus!
@Poslovitch
Hearken unto this wisdom: He who masters the namespace shall wield control and power over podcasting itself. For it is written in the RSS scrolls that through the namespace, one may extend the ancient protocols and bring forth new features unto the land. 🎙️📜

@elettrona @FediThing We can make the picture optional and generate one with the podcast name when there is none so that you don't have to create one and that your RSS feed doesn't get refused.
Would that work out?
@elettrona @FediThing We try hard to make things move to bring more inclusivity and accessibility.
You blame us.
I feel bad.
@elettrona @FediThing Castopod asks you to add a picture because if you don't your RSS feed will be denied everywhere.
We added transcription from day one and advocated so that it becomes accepted everywhere.
We gave talks about inclusion and accessibility.
We spend time to provide Castopod ti the community for free, it does not pay our rent.
So please, please, don't rant for something we are not responsible for.
That kind of comments is very discouraging.
@gubi yes, on its way!
Castopod focuses on podcast hosting with ActivityPub, happy to answer any questions!
Anyone using Castopod or other solutions - please share your thoughts with @everton137 !

After reading about a major #Funkwhale instance shutting down, I'm wondering whether I should keep my podcast on open.audio.
https://blog.liberta.vip/libertadmin/its-over-for-liberta-audio
However, the idea of an audio app that uses #ActivityPub to be part of the #Fediverse is excellent.
Any suggestions on where to host a #podcast?
P. S. I just discovered @Castopod , an alternative to @funkwhale
I want to inspect which one is more stable, and if there are good servers as well. Feedback welcome!

Look @Castopod I am back 😉
🎉 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. 🚀
