Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #podcasting2, aggregated by home.social.
I was excited to show off a new feature in PodChapters that makes linking to and showing multiple things from podcast chapters easier, but Screen Studio v4 isn't working for me.
I created makeshift "super chapters" that lay the groundwork for future #Podcasting2.0 upgrades!
Still think it’s so cool that you can add HLS video to your podcast’s RSS feed with the `alternateEnclosure` tag and folks can watch it in Pocket Casts.
Go podcasting!
(And thanks for making #podcasting2 @adam and @dave)
To people interested in the #Value4Value feature of our #podcasting2 feeds : it still requires testing, but AFAIK "boost" -a donation, most likely of a very small amount that only #cryptocurrency could handle without a flat fee eating most of it- now should route to @CremRoad's Satoshi wallet. Before this it just failed miserably (all apologizes to anyone who tried in the past).
Just open your usual #selfhosted #podcast player app and search for Crem Road, listen for 3 seconds and run away
Well, it took literally years of @syndicate 's great Setto explaining to me how nice #podcasting2 was and me doing nothing, until 1 month of My™ life was invested into adding, firstly, old #podcast RSS+XML feeds to https://cremroad.com last year, and again, later, 2 more month to add "2.0" spicy flavored namespace to the mix, and then register our feeds into the Great™ https://podcastindex.org in Dec'25.
10 days ago MP3 streams were 100 daily. Yesterday 250. And 20/day 30 days ago.
Word of the moment: "Vestigial Organ" << @dave

"Podcasting is open and decentralized, built on an open protocol called RSS. That means it's not owned by any of the centralized platforms (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, etc). Anyone can publish a podcast, any app can consume it, and no single company controls the ecosystem. That's rare, valuable, and worth protecting."
https://podstandards.org/2026/06/10/inside-the-podcast-standards-project/
The Podcast Mastery Podcast is featured on TrueFans.fm! This has made my year!
Thanks @samsethi
@mattmedeiros Another Podcasting 2.0 app that does what Fountain does is @truefans! Check it out!
"Now, we're in this cycle of like, 'what's a podcast? Is it a video, is it audio, is it a YT channel?'. To me, it's the RSS feed; if you can take it with you, and I can listen to it on anything, not just YT, that's a podcast to me."
#MattMedeiros, 2026
Any company promoting media as a "podcast", but we can't subscribe using our podcatcher of choice, *and* download for offline listening, is guilty of false advertising.
(1/2)
#Podcasts casts are the most important "open decentralized web" media right now and it is crucial that anyone who cares about the "open social web" is also fighting for podcasts to evolve, grow healtheir, integrate into the open social web via standard #podcasting2 standards, and avoid capture by closed centralized media.

Video podcast hosting is coming soon to Transistor!
You'll be able to upload video and have it distributed everywhere: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and HLS video in RSS via the `alternateEnclosure` tag.

@js
or other #podcasting2 folks: is there any place that tracks all the podcast 2.0 features each hosting provider like this supports?
https://www.semafor.com/article/03/29/2026/substack-rival-beehiiv-makes-a-push-into-podcasting
@nathan I also think podcasts as part of the open web, can integrate into the open social web: which could also assist in discovery - and am seeing early efforts at this from the #podcasting2 efforts.
#Podcasting2.0 keeps adding features like chapters, transcripts, and value splits, but adoption matters more than hype. Podcast Industry Insights lets #podcasters track what is actually gaining traction so you can decide what to implement next.
How many #podcasts are actually active, which categories are growing, and how quickly is #Podcasting2.0 being adopted? This episode of Audacity to Podcast breaks it down.
We’re getting close to 60,000 #podcasts using #Podcasting2.0 chapters!
But ain’t nobody got time to manually add #podcast chapters! So use PodChapters to do it in seconds!
https://PodcastIndustryInsights.com can now export every chart in 16:9 _and_ square images! The new square layout will be perfect for sharing #podcast data on Instagram or embedding into your existing slide templates!
Here's an example showing the growth of #Podcasting2.0 chapters over the last 3 years.
The whole roster we got is (it was hard work) available (from our very website) in rss+xml since spring 2025 and (it was hard work) Podcasting2 compliant since a pair of months. This means you can use any self-hosted podcasts player app and find us, like say the Fountain webapp here : https://fountain.fm/show/oOJGisWTcIbHCpa7FQtw #podcast2 #podcasting2 #ccmusic #byncsa
Podcasters, is there anything you know of that could cause a show to disappear from PodcastIndex.org?
I did a server upgrade at the weekend and have disappeared from the index but I don't think that would adffect it, as the list uisn't dependent on my server being active surely? (It's ceratinly remained on the index when I've had issues previously)
I've emailed but asking here in case anyone has any ideas that help me resolve things quicker.
Thanks in adanced from a slightly confused person!

Just wrote a new post for Podcast Standards Project members:
"We need to play the game on the field: understand what genuinely motivates podcasters and listeners and respond with features they care about.
But, we're also trying to change the game."
https://podstandards.org/2026/02/13/playing-the-game-on-the-field/
would it be possible for podcasts to be built on #ActivityPub in addition to RSS, and for podcatchers to process it? then each episode would be its own AP item and we could boost them directly, not just link to them. I feel like that would open up a lot of other possibilities too. #podcasting2
Hi #podcasting2 folks - am looking for good podcasts that support the following #podcast2 tags for beta testing an app I'm working on.
Esp shows that support Transcript, chapters, and person tags.... bonus if they also support social interact tag too.
Trifecta if the RSS podcast feed supports all of these. cc: @phillycodehound #podcast20
Hi #podcasting2 folks: @dave @adam
@james
@js
…and others…
Is there a list of apps that support the #podcast2 <podcast:socialInteract> RSS extension ? And any consensus as to those that handle this feature in a particularly graceful and simple user experience?
https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/tags/social-interact.md
Nostrshire panel talking about Adam Curry's podcast2.0 , more tags in your podcast rss for payments, in the hope it can fund producers. Did you know besos takes 75 percent of all Audible money? Actors and writers sharing scraps from Amazon's table.
Hot news is that keysend tags are out of fashion and the bolt11 lnurl invoices are taking over.
Podcast platforms can be bridged through nostr to enable cross platform comments and discovery but making users create key pairs is to complex the fountainfm guy reckons. Wants to hide and shatter l abstract away that complexity.
I love listening to the #podcasting2_0 #Podcast with @dave and @adam. Such good conversations. Like being a fly on the wall during a good convo!
New feature launched on PodChapters!
Apple Podcasts will support #Podcasting2.0 cloud chapters. But if you want to download the chapters Apple generates for you, you can now upload them into PodChapters to edit, embed in your MP3, and export the updated chapters.
Hey, we've built a tool that gives you a Podcast Score, depending on how many Podcasting 2.0 features your RSS feed has.
I'd like to test it a bit before we launch.
Wondering if a few of you can:
1. Test the "podcast score" with a few podcasts
2. Use the "Download PDF" button at the bottom.
Sorry, due to sickness, I couldn't get an episode of The Audacity to Podcast out today. I'll be back next week!
In the meantime, you can hear me on the latest episode (#237) of #Podcasting2.0! https://podcastindex.org/podcast/920666
Since this is with Spotify, looks like none of this will embrace the actual Podcast open RSS feed format.
More important than ever to defend "true" podcasts, and the open web format that undergirds it - and to strengthen apps and services that support that. #Podcasting2 #Podcast
#Podcasts are one of the most critical open web media formats we have - and needs to be defended and kept open from closed silos like YiuTube or Spotify. And integrating it further into the open social web. One of the most important battles for the open web going forward. #podcasting2 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/most-powerful-people-podcasting-2025/
Ok so I've been really struggling these last few days trying to add splits for the RSS feed to The Kalimera Show. I'd raised issues with Yunhost/Castopod and Alby, referencing a shit load of code that makes no sense to be, I stared everso deepy at line 646 of the config as the error advised, to no avail.
Anyway, turns out there's different types of "
Who knew?!??? I bet all of you did and I'm the last person on planet earth to learn this. Who does this? I bet it was Mark Zuckerberg, he's the sort of bastard who would do that. So yeah, there's " and then there's " but they're totally different.
Anyway, posting this in case anyone else is struggling with this rather niche issue. #RSS #Podcasting2 #Castopod
I'm live on the #Podcasting2.0 show today to talk about #podcast chapters and PodChapters!
Happy #InternationalPodcastDay! PodChapters is now available!
Upload your MP3, transcribe it or bring your own transcript, and then let PodChapters suggest chapters for you or turn _your_ outline into chapters!
It exports #Podcasting2.0 chapters, MP3 chapters, Podlove Simple Chapters, YouTube timestamps, and a timestamped outline. Plus, you can easily add your ID3 tags.
Apple Podcasts now lists support for the #Podcasting2.0 cloud chapters!!!
https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390:~:text=podcast%3Achapters
This is the _perfect_ time for PodChapters.com!
Managing your own #Podcasting2.0 chapters JSON and images can be a pain.
But PodChapters will solve that by hosting the chapters data and images for you! You'll get a predictable URL so you can even publish your episode before you've made the chapters!
Join the waitlist!
@heliomass @castropodcasts You are looking for #Podcasting2 efforts and yes they exist. Also see https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/pi-activitypub-server
