Enjoy faster loads + lower latency with:

Here's to a year of digital sovereignty, open source, and independent podcasting!

In 2025, we reached 1,000 active podcasts on Castopod, with over 43,000 episodes published! Our community has grown to 800+ GitHub stars, 30+ language translations by 70+ volunteer translators, and 200+ contributors.

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! 📻

It means the world to us!
