“The Open Podcast Podcast”, a weekly show about the Podcast Ecosystem and our attempt to build an open source analytics platform for podcast hosts. We believe that the Podcast ecosystem needs to remain open. Contrary to what some proprietary platforms believe, we think people value freedom and open standards. We believe that Podcast hosts can grow an audience without locking people in or being dependent on the big players. In this podcast we talk about ideas on how to make the podcast ecosystem more open and how we actively contributing to it by working on our project "Open Podcast"
