Rogan and Podcasting

[New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/25/opinion/joe-rogan-spotify-podcast.html): _“If you want to understand why podcasting is killing, he says, you first need to appreciate the world-changing, brain-rewiring transformation in how we consume information.”_

I wonder if people understand the subtle difference between a podcast and content locked behind a proprietary format? Super subtle.

In a nutshell Podcasting is spoken word, published as a feed – RSS or other open type, in an open audio format, like MP3.

If I can’t subscribe to it in my [podcast player of choice](https://castro.fm), it’s not a podcast.
