📣 Public Service Announcement to all our Spanish(-speaking) users 🇪🇸
Episodes from Radio Nacional de España cannot be downloaded. RNE decided to block our app specifically.
Journalist @james contacted the Director Radio of RTVE to ask for clarifications. In response, they have said they will 'review our case'. We are yet to receive a reply to the email we sent last week. Keep an eye out for updates on our social media.

@treyhunner @mitsuhiko I got 25/26. The only one that threw me was one that throws a `ValueError` and I thought it would throw `SyntaxError` if it were an error so I just guessed as to what it could mean.

@nitinkhanna I would say @brainwane is a great person to follow. She posts on an interesting variety of things and is a measured, patient thinker.
We've got a good-first bug for new contributors to Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1658511
If you're interested in writing a little bit of C++/HTML/JS to make your first contribution, let me know! I'd be happy to guide you through the whole process over chat or video call.
From working with podcast-index.org database to find podcasts, I have learned that for language codes:
ES = Spanish
ES_MX = Mexican Spanish
ES_ES = Double Spanish
(Apparently people don't realize that ES_ES is supposed to be "European Spanish", so when you filter by ES_ES you get podcasts from like wherever)
@sethmlarson Like the vast majority of podcasts, I made this with a couple of episodes and then forgot about it 😛
I have a vague idea to add an episode with a transcript at some point, and when I start get around to some projects I have where I want to work with podcast feeds it will probably drive me to add more features.
I have done nothing to make the contributor workflow good at all, but if you want to make a PR the repo is here:

Also feel free to fork it and create what would undoubtedly be a better and more popular version 😉
@webology Especially if you like sine waves!
Hey everyone, I just started a podcast! It's called Test Podcast and it features highly compressible audio wrapped in a simple RSS feed that can be used for testing your RSS-feed consuming software.
You can find it at https://pganssle.github.io/test-podcast/
@webology @sethmlarson I thought it was like an actual secret menu with a simple name like "animal style" or "double double" or something, so not anything where you are being weird and where it is hard to explain.
Still, I think in this case it is that people probably like the act of ordering off a secret menu that you have to know about more than they like the actual food you get when you do that.
@webology @sethmlarson I wouldn't really order a burger these days anyway, but when I tried it 15-18 years ago I remember thinking it was nothing special.
I got the impression that maybe I ordered the right thing and you were supposed to order off the secret menu to get the thing everyone likes, but I don't think anything I saw on that menu would turn a mediocre burger into an amazing experience.
‡Eso es porque recojo mi vocabulario de varias fuentes y me parece que uso regionalismos de regiones muy diferentes, y suena... raro. Quiero centrarme un poco en material de España por la razón simple y tonta de que me gusta "vosotros" en vez de "ustedes" 😛
Hispanohablantes, por favor, ¿me podéis recomendar más podcasts en español? No me importa el tema y de hecho, preferiría escuchar algo muy aleatorio (y nada de noticias, por favor). Si la calidad del audio es buena y los presentadores son majos, a lo mejor me gustaría; sobre todo si es de España‡. No me van mucho los podcasts "profesionales" — si fuera un blog querría algo con una página pequeña y casera antes que un Substack o algo corporativo, si eso tiene sentido.
Oh, y también creo que si no tiene feed RSS, no es un podcast, es solo radio espumosa.

@yvanspijk Ah I looked a bit for that the cross meant but I didn't notice it in the legend 😅
@yvanspijk Also I've never heard the English word "bouk" before. Seems like it is UK specific and possibly the sense of "belly" is obsolete? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bouk
@yvanspijk Did old Norwegian and Danish really lack words for eye, ear, mouth and nose, or do we just not know those words?
Also, is it true that Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish and Danish lack words for shoulder?
Or is it just that the gaps are words that aren't derived from proto-Germanic?
@Yhg1s @brianokken Wil Wheaton really is an annoying narrator. He is the only narrator where I will just not listen to a book if he is reading it.
