“Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement (www.anildash.com)

[…] being able to say, "wherever you get your podcasts" is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

What podcasting holds in the promise of its open format is the proof that an open web can still thrive and be relevant, that it can inspire new systems that are similarly open to take root and grow.

Did anyone listen to Adam Curry's Daily Source Code podcast? I remember him being very excited about the possibility of escaping the gatekeepers of traditional media. If i remember correctly, he was a major and important proponent of the open nature of podcasts.

When people push listening on Spotify even though the podcast is available everywhere else I roll my eyes.

Easy to do when it's just audio files with no user interaction though. Neat that it's continued existence in this manner at least, even if the big companies have steered toward trying to be the podcast platform.

All the centralisation in podcasting is the content delivery network (where ads are placed for the commercial ones). Where the feed is hosted it's fairly irrelevant.

If those Joe Rogan fans could read, they would be very upset right now!

EDIT: Oh you know what? I just fact-checked myself and apparently that podcast is no longer Spotify-exclusive as of very recently. I hope you enjoyed the joke anyway.

Everything is better when it ends with a fact check.

For these guys? Yes! Probably about HIV or something.
