Closing the week on a personal note. This week 20 years ago, I released Podcast Generator, an open source tool I had built to help anyone publish a podcast. For the 20th anniversary, I dug through old screenshots, articles, and memorabilia and put it all together in one page. Took longer than I expected, but happy with the result: https://podcastgenerator.net Nice to look back and remember those early podcasting days 💜

Thanks @dave@podcastindex.social for releasing the open datasets from PodcastIndex: so much fun stuff you can build with them! e.g. I prototyped a Podroll Atlas, running entirely in your browser: https://albertobeta.github.io/podroll-atlas/ Wishlist: if the recommendations dataset shipped the full array of sourceFeed IDs and URLs the graph would get a lot richer with clusters, fan-in, communities.

@adam@podcastindex.social @dave@podcastindex.social Thanks. As a hosting our free plans do not allow DAI (it's a paid feature), so this is not about free tiers for us at least. As a listener I am not concerned (eg I listen to finance AI podcasts), but I want to get to decide. Without a signal we don't have the choice. Same reason we label ingredients on food: most people don't read the label, but some do. And regulators (EU AI Act, FTC) are moving in that direction regardless. Better to have this in place now than to scramble later.
