@anildash We desperately need an RSS-like medium for written content, but with respect for formatting and branding.

To me, I think the reason why audio has long remained the perfect object for the medium of podcasting is that an audio file can’t be modified. It’s delivered as the creator intended.

I think email won the war for newsletters because it does a better job respecting the “as the creator intended” truism than RSS does.

I’m sure people will push back on this POV. But it’s so obvious.

@anildash We need that radical openness that podcasts have across mediums. It is the purest gatekeeper-free medium that we have; we need to duplicate it.
