A podcast about Castopod, hosted on Castopod.
Castopod is free software that lets anyone host their own podcast, keep their audience, and publish to the whole internet without asking a platform for permission. Each episode looks at one part of the picture: why podcast hosting needed rebuilding, how ActivityPub turns every podcast into a fediverse account, what Podcasting 2.0 changed for creators, how to install and run your own platform, and what it is really like to publish a weekly show on your own server. We talk to the developers who build these tools and the podcasters who rely on them.
Every episode uses the features it describes: chapters, transcripts, soundbites, listener funding and full fediverse interaction. Follow @castopod@on.castopod.org from Mastodon or any fediverse app and comment directly on the episodes.
