“WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS” IS A RADICAL STATEMENT
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
The phrase "wherever you find podcasts” highlights a stark contrast between podcasting and closed media platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Podcasting's open format empowers creators to control their content and audience relationships, enabling portability and resisting surveillance-based advertising. There are challenges in podcast economics, but podcasting is a beacon for the open web's renaissance and a model for reclaiming control in online spaces. Podcasting is similar to RSS feeds for blogs and newsletters.
