What’s the FOSS alternative to podcasts?

Same situation for me. This is such a nice place compared to reddit. I still think it would be better if it grows some more, but one of the nice things about Lemmy is that it has a more “niche” user base

Remap Radio is basically the only podcast I listen to now

Still looking for good written coverage, though
