Hi #podcasting2 folks: @npub1rcnr...dw4h @Adam Curry :pci: :pc2blue: @James Cridland @John Spurlock …and others… Is there a list of apps that support the #podcast2 <podcast:socialInteract> RSS extension ? And any consensus as to those that handle this feature in a particularly graceful and simple user experience? 📃.md
