You can now spin a globe and listen to a podcast from anywhere on Earth 🌍 📍 radar.rss.io#globe Every dot is a show, placed where it's made or what place it's about (the Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:location> tag). I built it this week on the new open dataset released by @davejones.bsky.social

This week, 20 years ago, I was a student in Italy and built an open source tool that let anyone publish a podcast. I maintained it for over a decade as a passion project. It became the foundation for @rss.com. For the 20th anniversary, the full story: podcastgenerator.net 💜 #podcasting #history

Podcast Generator 20th anniversary banner. It reads: "April 5, 2006 to April 5, 2026. Podcast Generator, 20 Years. The open-source engine that quietly powered a generation of podcasters".

@johnspurlock.com Well spotted 😁 Last week we soft launched alternate enclosure support (no hosting… yet). The show you found is one of our international award-winning podcasts experimenting with HLS video and OPUS via alternate enclosure in their RSS feed: validator.livewire.io?validate=htt...

Screenshot of the RSS.com episode editor showing the “Alternate Enclosure” section. A Media URL field contains an HLS .m3u8 link from Mux. The Media Type dropdown is open with options including Video HLS, Video MP4, Audio AAC, Audio MP3, Audio MPEG, and Audio OPUS, with Video HLS selected. A title field reads “La mètrica Monguió,” and Cancel and Save changes buttons appear on the right.

Last year was incredible for @rss.com In 2025, our podcasters published 44 years of audio (up 19% Vs 2024), and we hit record episode-share highs, reaching #7 globally. We also shipped a truly free plan, programmatic ads, IAB analytics, New P2.0 Location support, our API, and more! Cheers 2026 🚀✨

For developers (and “vibe coders” playing with AI): RSS.com public API is live 🤖 We are already working with great podcasting tools for direct publishing. Can't wait to see the automated workflows and tools people build with this! changelog.rss.com/v25-12-1-328...

‪@lukewarlow.dev‬ I looked into our XSL and Firefox does not support disable-output-escaping, so tags in CDATA descriptions are shown as text. Found some old threads confirming it. There are workarounds, but I could not find a clean XSL-only fix. Everyone else seem to have the same issue in FF.

Upgraded my gear and put together a small podcast setup! New Year’s proposition: podcast more 🎙️✨
