🚨 #ServiceUpdate 🚨
We could not get any answer from our CDN provider (OVH) so we migrated to CloudFlare.

Everything should be back to normal now.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Transcripts in podcasts aren’t just about ease of use; they represent the potential of open, collaborative initiatives like Podcasting 2.0 (thank you @adam and @dave!) to uplift an entire industry. 🌍

It’s been an incredible journey—from the early Podcasting 2.0 dreamers, through dedicated developers who believe in decentralization, to now seeing Apple adopt this specification in Apple Podcasts!

Today, @james' @Podnews revealed that @AntennaPod the amazing open-source podcast player, just added transcript support! 🎉

"Version 3.5 of podcast app AntennaPod now displays Podcasting 2.0 transcripts, joining Pocket Casts and Apple Podcasts."

This is a game-changer for accessibility, SEO, discoverability, and the ability to quickly search within an episode.

Huge shout-out to the AntennaPod team, especially Tony Tam, for developing this awesome transcript feature! 🙌

Thanks again to @Quenti for mentioning the Castopod Index, designed to simplify podcast discovery by language and category. While Occitan podcasts aren't listed yet, Castopod aims to help all languages thrive in podcasting.
🧵 [5/5]

@Quenti shares great tools like AntennaPod and Podverse, which support open podcasting ecosystems, empowering creators and listeners alike with more freedom and options. Choose platforms that promote open access and multilingual support!
🧵 [4/5]

@Quenti explains how a true podcast is defined by its RSS feed, making it accessible through any app. This decentralized nature gives creators freedom from platform restrictions and gives listeners control over how they access content.
🧵 [3/5]

Podcasts can connect people globally, allowing creators to share their stories in any language. This is a powerful way to ensure even less spoken languages, like Occitan, get a chance to be heard!
🧵 [2/5]

Thank you @Quenti for your in-depth article on podcasting and how it promotes language diversity! Podcasting is not just for entertainment; it’s a platform to broadcast culture, heritage, and voices that might otherwise be lost.

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 , 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!
