Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Given how iHeartMedia, Spotify, and Apple are all more and more invested in the podcast ecosystem it seems they are purchasing content and putting it behind a paywall. I’d like to make sure the podcasts I care about are backed up.

I saw the internet archive had a podcasts section but there wasn’t a lot of the content I’d expect to see so also interested if anyone is building a public archive

I've also noticed the internet archive is doing some podcast stuff interesting the paywalled podcasts are there, but not accessible to the public.

Far enough, no point them painting a copyright target on their backs.

Would be interested to see torrents of podcasts get more love, when I last checked there really wasn't much out there.
