Pocket Casts desktop/browser app sucks. The app on the iPhone and Android phones are great and have tons of feature, the web/browser app is majorly lacking feature parity.

It sucks because sometimes I prefer listen on the computer vs. the phone.

I really like where @[email protected] is going with their app/web experience. The feature parity is there.

I do find myself trying different podcasts apps all the time.

My go-to apps are TrueFans.fm and Pocket Casts.

Wikipedia celebrated its 25th birthday this month. Given the centrality of Wikipedia to so much activity online, it is hard to remember (or to imagine, for those who are younger) a time without Wikipedia. The latest statistics are impressive:

Wikipedia is viewed nearly 15 billion times every month.

Wikipedia contains over 65 million articles across more than 300 languages.

Walled Culture the book, three years on

Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

How GenAI is taking true fans activity – and creativity – to the next level

Walled Culture has written a number of times about the true fans approach – the idea that creators can be supported directly and effectively by the people who love their work. As Walled Culture the book explains (available as a free ebook), one of the earliest and best expositions of the concept came from Kevin Kelly, former Executive Editor at Wired magazine, in an essay he wrote originally […]

Fans of open access, unite: you have nothing to lose but your chained libraries

When books were rare and extremely expensive, they were often chained to the bookcase to prevent people walking off with them, in what were known as “chained libraries”.
