Castopod :podcasting2: boosted

Last weekend, @Castopod had the privilege of being part of the International Broadcasting Convention (established in 1967!), the leading global event for professionals in the media, entertainment, and technology industries. 🎥🌍

We were honored to be invited by EBU to the Open Source Meetup :oss:, where we presented Castopod in a 5-minute session.

A special thank you to Ben Poor for the invitation and to Frans De Jong for filming and editing the video!

@Castopod As a layperson in most digital tech, let me ask some dumb-sounding questions: For self-hosting my podcast, I need host space (like for my website) but this never comes free because podcasts use a lot of bandwidth.
1. What is the difference between Castopod and the host of my wordpress website?
2. Is Castopod a real *host* (=server space) or just an app which helps with handling/activity pub?

@Castopod

Hi there!

Does it run on shared hosting?
Does it support RSS?

The Fediverse is essential for free speech in podcasting because it allows podcasters to interact directly with their audience without relying on centralized platforms that could stifle their voice.

With Castopod, your podcasts are still available on all major platforms—Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Overcast, and more—while you maintain full control over your distribution and interaction.

Castopod empowers you to retain complete control over both your content and your audience. By self-hosting your podcast with Castopod, you ensure that your creations remain fully yours—free from the limitations imposed by third-party services. Moreover, Castopod connects you directly with your listeners through the Fediverse, a decentralized network that enables open, censorship-resistant communication.

In today's digital landscape, maintaining control over your content is more crucial than ever. When you rely solely on third-party platforms, you're subject to their rules, algorithms, and policies, which can limit your creative freedom and influence. For podcasters, this means your voice could be censored, your content deprioritized, and your audience fragmented across various platforms, making genuine interaction challenging.
