Hey so this is The People's Podcast, an actual podcast we're creating on the discord self organized from this community at large, here's the first trial run we did for an episode!

Edit to add:

If you have any interest in working on the podcast, speaking on it, helping to organize or whatever else, dm me for a link to the planning server! (and we'll probably look into making a community for it on here in future!)


Episodes will be self organized by whatever folks are passionate about that subject, just like this one was, however the final podcast will have 2 parts: one, like this one, with prepared hosts and topics and ideas used to springboard to organic discussions, and a second part (which I call the anarchy segment) where everyone who was listening to the recording gets unmuted and the whole thing becomes a public forum, about the episode, further discussion, dumb bits, whatever. It’ll be like the old episode megathreads but its actually the podcast. This section will be recorded over 2-3 hours and edited down to about 45 minutes or an hour, so times where everyone is talking over each other or what have you can be cut out and we can elevate the gems of the discussion (and we want to figure out how to have the community make these decisions rather than the behind the scenes team having too much control over the final edit)

In episode 0 here, it was initially just a dry run for the comrades who spoke to practice, and for us on the backend to see what the logistics and tech/ editing would be like, but it turned out so well we wanted to share it! That’s why it’s episode 0 and not 1 :)

I want this to be the essence of our community, which I hope can be left unity and solidarity <3

I hope this explanation makes sense haha, happy to answer further questions :)

    We should have upload to or have our own peertube instance for stuff like this. Also this is great and I'd love to see more.

      I like that, but don't put it exclusively on peertube. That is just a great way to limit reach.

      Maybe a little niche, but would love an RSS feed too! RSS + Podcast Republic android app = easy to stay in the loop with podcasts on the go.

          Thanks! This is awesome! I meant an RSS for the People's Podcast though. If you link up a podcast using RSS you'll get new episodes downloaded automatically as they're released. Very convenient!
