Now that we're learning this lesson that centralized silos are brittle and operate in the interest of the owners not the users......please note the move toward centralizing podcasts into apps from Amazon/Audible, Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, TikTok etc.If you like podcasts, use an RSS-based podcast player. Support the open ecosystem. We can only survive if you clearly see the threat and act supportively.

@leo Better yet, let’s start calling these proprietary podcasts what they are - shows. Joe Rogan has a Spotify show, not a podcast. It’s no different than if we had a show on NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.

@leo as any centralized silo is fragile, whether it is one of the big CDNs, or a single user hosted store, I really would like to see more options for distributed hosting as well. Perhaps something like rss feeds that update to multiple locations, and content hosted in something like a torrent based file system. One advantage to this could be that a nomad Podcaster wouldn't have to have a persistent online presence.

@leo Related to your point:there are federated podcast publishing apps, such as Castopod (https://castopod.org), and more general audio apps, such as Funkwhale (https://funkwhale.audio) , which allow podcast creators to publish to the Fediverse, making it possible to follow them from one's Fediverse (e.g., Mastodon) account.

@leo I was just thinking about this yesterday. How podcasts are the one usecase of rss that kept having widespread adoption, then the big podcast hosts, like Spotify, chipped away at that. Ideally I should still be able to download a text file, then as many audio files as I need and not have to "stream" it from a proprietary service.

@leo Agree with this Leo. One example: I dug up the old CoffeeGeek Podcast episodes (65 of them) from 2004-2012, and put them up on anchor hoping just to provide something old to a new audience. Within a year, Spotify locked down those old podcasts - they cannot be played in certain countries or in certain browsers. I just don't have the time to troubleshoot it, but it's another EG of closed ecosystems making up new rules.

@leo Yes, Podcasting is an amazing example of something that we got RIGHT from the get-go: an open, federated protocol. It's especially a shame when people do have an RSS feed, but don't even bother linking it on their webpage, meaning that I have to resort to a tool like https://getrssfeed.com/ to extract it. Big tech wants to turn it into another walled garden.As for which app to use, I use Podcast Addict for Android. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.

Watching Audible, Spotify, and others try to herd people into their own proprietary apps and formats is concerning, but not surprising… (cont’d)

@leo Your own post here betrays your point. You list a half dozen large podcasts apps that all have to support the protocol or risk losing out on the next big item. Sure there are exclusives, but they are the rare exception. The problem isn't that there are big players in the podcast game so long as no player has a Monopoly. And we are quite far from that risk when it comes to podcasts.

@leo I am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.podkicker&hl=en&gl=US on Android for years now. Works like a charm. It has a free version too.

@leo can you recommend a podcast platform that operates within those principles? Thx!

@leo For my special use case, I use the Playapod #Android app on my #Chromebook so I can queue up the video TWiT podcasts. I have those playing off to the side of my main work computer, since our corporate VPN blocks a ton of stuff. It was one of the few apps that supported videos that I could find. https://playapod.com/

@leo Where is Podbean in the current podcast app ecosystem? I suspect there is a good article comparing all of these things someplace, but I haven't even searched for it yet. @dwiner, I still miss Radio Userland!

@leo do you (or anyone seeing this) happen to know if there's a fediverse way of following podcasts?I ask because what you just said resonates with me... all of my podcasts are vacuumed up by Pocket Casts and Spotify... and I want out.

@leo are Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts part of the same problem? Many podcasts encourage listeners to give them 5 stars and good reviews on those specific platforms. They say it really helps to bring in more listeners. But this appeal discourages using more open podcast apps. Also, sounds like algorithmic “wisdom (?) of crowds”/network effect on Twitter, Google etc. Is there a Fediverse-type podcasting platform? #ApplePodcasts #google #twitter #podcasts #fediverse

@leo This is why it's a massive disappointment that the new podcast from Jospeh Fink and Jeffrey Cranor is an Audible exclusive. Especially since Night Vale's first major story arc is about a corporation taking over the town.

@leo Does this mean you'll start supporting podcastindex.org?

@leo it's always bad times when a podcast you love moves to Spotify and you can't access it via RSS anymore

@leo absolutely. I've been using Podcast Addict for a few years now and have been listening to podcasts for about 15 years. I appreciate the decentralised nature - so probably about time I joined Mastodon too!
