"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."

"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."

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.

#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.
