@js
or other #podcasting2 folks: is there any place that tracks all the podcast 2.0 features each hosting provider like this supports?

Exclusive: Substack rival Beehiiv makes a push into podcasting

Beehiiv has privately been reaching out to independent podcasters on Substack and other platforms.

@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.

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://podchapters.com/?utm_source=djl_mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcasting2_0_chapters_growth&utm_content=p2_chapters_chart

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
Crem Road • Listen on Fountain

The raw sound netlabel from the underground. Lofi, noise pop, garage rock and underground electro. 170+ releases. Creative Commons music.

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."

Playing the game on the field

If we're going to introduce new RSS-based features, they should reflect what podcasters and listeners want. The biggest danger to our project is adopting our own pet-projects instead of building stuff creators actually want to use.
