I’d love to apply for Drew DeVault’s vacancy to work on FOSS, just got to get myself in a financially stable position first. Totally get the financial constraints, I just think it’s brilliant that he’s willing and able to support such work! https://sourcehut.org/blog/2021-08-23-work-at-sourcehut/

@phel @wolfie This is correct. Podcasting isn't about what's in the content of the audio, it's about the way in which it's distributed. It's about the particular combination of downloadable audio files and openly-syndicated RSS feeds.
It's like how there are a zillion ways to send text-based content around the Internet, but only one method using a certain category of software configured to automatically interoperate among users' devices in a particular manner can properly be called "email."
