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!

@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.
