I will be talking about Podcasting tomorrow from 15h50 to 16h05 at @fosdem (room h2215):
Celebrating Open Standards:
How Podcasting 2.0 Shaped the Future of Podcasting

Two years ago at FOSDEM, I gave a talk titled “How Podcasting 2.0 Will Save the Open Internet”.
I’ll be honest—it was partly a bluff.
But it turns out I was right.
Today, we are here to celebrate the victory of open standards in podcasting.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if podcast fans could support their favorite shows without managing a bajillion subscriptions?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if federated social networks had a federated, global payment network of regulated financial institutions for micropayments?

Get a preview of what @benjaminbellamy is building into @Castopod and what @Interledger is building for the social web at the FOSDEM Social Web BOF on Sunday.

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.

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.
