I really enjoyed this episode of the #BetweenTheBrackets podcast featuring @Wittylama about the past, present and future of #Wikipedia at its 25th birthday: https://betweenthebrackets.libsyn.com/episode-200-liam-wyatt

The themes of reduced (direct) readership, shifting habits of information consumption, AI crawl-bots and long-term sustainability via explicitly symbiotic partnerships, were touched upon with clear thought and insightful remarks. The Wikimedia movement is lucky to have Liam in the #WikimediaEnterprise initiative!

Between the Brackets: a MediaWiki Podcast: Episode 200: Liam Wyatt

🕑 1 hour 14 minutes It's the (belated) 25th anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia - and the 200th episode! For this special episode, we have the return of Liam Wyatt (username Wittylama), a longtime Wikipedia volunteer and commentator, the first-ever Wikipedian-in-residence, and now a Senior Technical Partnerships Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation, to talk about Wikipedia's past, present and future. Links for some of the topics discussed: at Internet Archive (video) (November 2025 Diff blog post) (January 2026 blog post) (November 2025 GLAM-Wiki talk by Liam) (May 2025 presentation by Giuseppe Lavagetto) (January 2026 essay by Christophe Henner)

@ainali @theresnotime There's also Yaron Koren's #podcast, #BetweenTheBrackets.

A #gpodder search also finds a couple of German-language #Wikipedia article-reading podcasts

In general it seems podcasts were more popular in the late 2000s, they've been on a decline for a while.
