    How did you like this episode?👍(upvote)  👎 (downvote) What if we told you that you could get realtime feedback from your podcast listeners today? This and more is possible thanks to Podcasting 2.0 Podcast development is stuck in the past. There’s a severe lack of features like being able to monetize content or get feedback from listeners. There hasn’t been any update to RSS since 2006, even though we’ve seen astounding technological advancement like the advent of broadband internet, the adoption of smartphones, or social networks like Facebook). But there is hope: Podcasting 2.0. It’s a new standard created by the original authors of RSS and supported by many Podcast hosters, players, and indexers. Over 400.000 podcasts use the new format already, to provide better functionality for listeners and creators. We will talk about the new standard, the market, the players, and how you can start using that today. And about the relationship between the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem and Open Podcast.

    How did you like this episode? 👍(upvote)  👎 (downvote) We describe our stack for writing documentation and which tools we can recommend to improve yours. One of a user’s first points of contact with your project will be through your project documentation. Even open source projects should try to make a good first impression here, but how exactly do you write great docs? Nowadays there are a gazillion different tools to write developer documentation. To save you some time, we’ll try to give you an overview and explain what worked for us and what didn’t.

    #20: Open Source Software Funding

    How did you like this episode?👍(upvote)  👎 (downvote) Have you ever dreamt of working on your own Open Source projects full-time? We show ways to fund your work. Funding is a big topic for many Open Source projects. People spend many hours per week on their passion project without getting paid. To support their project long-term, many projects will have to find ways to fund that work. We talk about different Open Source funds like Prototype, Mozilla Ventures, or Media Tech Lab which help OSS projects become sustainable. We’ll also talk about the tradeoffs of each program, the amount of funding you can expect, and how you can apply.

    #18: Beyond Feedback

    How did you like this episode?nice 👍 > 👎 meh Podcasting can be a solitary pursuit, and it can be challenging for podcasters to get feedback from their listeners. We talk about ways to change that. Some podcasters like the German Doppelgänger Podcast have turned to social media or community platforms like Discord to interact with their audience and gather feedback. They have even suggested using chapter markers or time stamps in their podcasts to allow listeners to leave comments or feedback on specific sections of the episode, similar to the way that Soundcloud allows users to annotate music with comments. Another idea that has been proposed is the creation of a social graph of podcast guests, where listeners could follow and comment on the "public life" of guests who have appeared on multiple podcasts and TV interviews. We comment on all of these ideas and share our own perspective. This is the sequel to episode 16, where we talked about our simple upvote/downvote mechanism. In this episode we go deeper and look at alternative feedback mechanisms and community building that goes beyond feedback.

    #16: Feedback Channels

    Feedback is extremely useful for podcast creators. Let’s look at some ways users can send data back to the hosts and how they are implemented. How did you like this episode?👍 👎 Back in 2017, the US National Public Radio worked on an open standard called RAD (which stands for Remote Audio Data), which allows users to send anonymized feedback to Podcast creators via a public endpoint. They provide an open source Android- and iOS SDK and a specification for the standard to make it easy to integrate their standard into any podcast player or platform. We explain how the format works and compare it to our own solution, which integrates into a Podcast’s RSS feed as well as a simple “thumbs-up/thumbs-down” voting system that can be integrated into the show notes of any podcast episode.
