Obsolete enterprise shit I guess includes podcasting. Impressive for the enterprise.

I’d be very curious what lasting open formats JSON has been used to build.

That the podcast feed format is XML based is an insignificant detail - and a remnant of the past, nobody cares about.

People upload their podcasts to a platform like Apple Music or Spotify or Substack and co, or to some backend connected to their Wordpress/Ghost/etc) and it spits the RSS behind the scenes, with nobody giving a shit about the XML part.

Might as well declare USSR a huge IT success because people still play Tetris.
