In this episode, Martin Lindeskog delves into the history and development of Podlink, a podcast service initially created in 2018 by Nathan. Acquired by Podsights and later by Spotify, Podlink has returned to Nathan, who has begun redirecting Episodes.FM back to Podlink. The service allows podcasts to be accessed easily across various platforms, with plans for customizable URLs and detailed statistics through op3.dev. The discussion also touches on the evolution of podcasting technology, the role of RSS feeds, and the importance of maintaining open access across podcast platforms.
