Open podcasting is the bedrock of which the entire podcasting industry was built. It’s an ecosystem that allows content creators to share their work with listeners everywhere … we don’t believe that podcasters, listeners and advertisers should be tied to a single platform, because being open is the only sustainable way to build our podcasters and an engaged, consistent audience that is attractive to advertisers. - Ross Adams, CEO, Acast
