Is Dave Winer intentionally ignoring the advancements of RSS that the Podcasting 2.0 initiative has been undertaking? I contend he has.  In this episode of the podcast, hosts Todd Cochrane and Rob Greenlee engage in a varied discussion that starts with a casual conversation about Thanksgiving experiences and quickly dives into deeper issues regarding the current state and future of podcasting. The conversation is sparked by a statement from Dave Winer about the evolving use of the term “podcast,” particularly how it’s being co-opted by video content on platforms like YouTube. Winer suggests that enhancing the open podcast platform is crucial to preserving the creative essence of podcasting. 
Todd and Rob discuss their concerns about the dilution of the podcast identity, emphasizing their efforts through “Podcasting 2.0” to innovate on RSS feeds, which they feel Winer underappreciates. They express frustration over Winer’s lack of engagement and his focus on past achievements. 
Todd explains why he has stopped using Cloud Wowza for live HLS video due to cost inefficiency, directing viewers instead to individual platforms. 
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the changes and strategies in platforms like Spotify and YouTube, particularly how these platforms are influencing podcast formats and the importance of maintaining audio podcast integrity alongside video offerings. They criticize the industry’s heavy monetization tactics, often leading to overloaded ad placements that could alienate listeners. 
Todd and Rob also explore broader trends in content consumption and platform loyalty and how podcasters can strategically navigate these changes to protect their content and audience engagement. They reflect on the need for podcasters to educate themselves on new technologies and innovations to keep up with the evolving media landscape. 
Throughout the episode, the hosts maintain a light-hearted yet pointed critique of various players in the podcasting industry, including platform giants and even the pioneers who seem resistant to new changes. The episode ends with a call to podcasters to be adaptable, proactive, and mindful of their content’s integrity and strategic choices in a rapidly shifting digital environment.
