I'm finally ready to take the Fediverse seriously. Years of tech overreach and enshittification have worn me out. The final straw came when Meta decided I should pay over $50 a month just to share a few links to my own podcast. That includes a blue check that means nothing anymore (thanks, X). They already sell ads and our data. Now they want my money too. Bear with me while I adjust. If I pull out old habits, please don't yell at me. #Introduction #Podcasting #Enshittification #Meta

Podcasting is amazing as it brings together people with amazing shared interests. Dr Rad and I were fortunate to be interviewed by Tristan for The Ancients podcast many years ago, and yesterday we got to meet in person! It was amazing to be in the room as Tristan and Alastair chatted all things Herakles and to catch up with them both after the event ☺️ #AncientHistory #Podcasting

Ah yes, the riveting world of Hacker Public Radio: a quaint little corner where tech wizards ✨ divulge their magical secrets ✨ to each other in the most riveting monotone known to man. Who knew endless "community" podcasts could be so... utterly riveting? 📻🎙️ Apparently, everyone is just dying to contribute to this cacophony once a year—what a privilege! 😂 https://hackerpublicradio.org/ #HackerPublicRadio #techCommunity #podcasting #MonotoneMagic #rivetingContent #HackerNews #ngated

"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." #MattMedeiros, 2026 https://openchannels.fm/podcasting-2-0-the-open-source-movement-reshaping-how-we-create-and-consume-audio/ 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.

This is the best article I've read about podcast monetization in a very long time, and I HATE talking about podcast monetization! https://podnews.net/article/intimacy-over-scale Programmatic ads really only bring in meaningful revenue when they get 100s of 1000s of impressions a month, which forces podcasters to cram 9 or more ads into each episode. But direct sponsorship is quite different. Better for listeners, the creator, and the sponsor. #podcasting #monetization #ads #sponsorship
