The dataset viewer is not available because its heuristics could not detect any supported data files. You can try uploading some data files, or configuring the data files location manually.

The Autocast Initiative

This dataset archives podcasts in real-time. Podcasts that indentify with the principle of autocasting as their method for sharing audiofiles with an audience of subsribers.

All contributers are volonteers.

The Principles Autocasting

  • The content is primarily not created.

  • Neither the files or the RSS feed is not manipulated after publish, other than to correct mistakes.

    • The "episode description" is the exception to the above. Use this field however you please.
  • No method is to be considered "too low-effort" when it comes to generating audiofiles.

  • For content protected by monetization is encouraged to commit scrambled content and provide means for unscrambling as they see fit.

    • Further monetization is encouraged.
  • Get paid if you can.

How to contribute

Create a folder for your autocast as so:

/archive/[Name of your feed]/

Do not substitute special characters (if possible)

In this folder, include your episodes as well as snapshots of your RSS feed at the time of publish (if possible)

/archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].mp3 // or whichever format you use
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].xml
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].mp3 // ...
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].xml
...
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].mp3 // ...
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].xml
...

If you intend to publish more than 1000 episodes in a single feed, figure it out (responsibly)
