Aware this post is morphing into a catch-all for what’s most likely multiple product and service offerings.
Here are a couple more examples of radio/podcast services that are extended by their own site builder and/or integration -
- Podsites which extends the RadioPublic service
- The website builder which extends the radio.co service
Both I believe are built on top of WordPress… which has me wondering if there’s any potential overlap with what @djtonyz is working on Question about User API, uploading from WordPress, and Podcast function
Current thinking is LibreTime and the website product(s) would be separate. Funds for any overlapping functionality could flow through Open Collective. Services could be provided by partners who can also use Open Collective to send a % back to fund the OSS projects.
With regards to finding enough stations and podcasters to pay TBD $$ to enroll in such a beta. The #communitymedia channel in the Open Collective community is one of several with collaborators and potential partners converging.
