    Transcript

    [00:00:19] Nathan Wrigley: Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.

    Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress, the people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, bringing podcasting to Jetpack.

    If youтАЩd like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.

    If you have a topic that youтАЩd like us to feature on the podcast, IтАЩm keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.

    So on the podcast today we have Rob Pugh and Tony Arcangelini. Rob and Tony are longstanding members of the Automattic team with extensive backgrounds in marketing, product, and software development. TheyтАЩve spent years building tools for creators, writers, podcasters, and everyone in between, and now theyтАЩre fully immersed in WordPressтАЩs evolving podcasting capabilities.

    If youтАЩve been looking for ways to run your podcast from your own WordPress site, this conversation is for you. Rob and Tony dive into the new Jetpack podcasting features, and why they made the leap from WordPress.comтАЩs basic audio offerings, to a more robust, integrated solution, within Jetpack.

    They talk about what makes WordPress and Jetpack such a powerful home for creators. The ability to bring your newsletter, blog, podcast, and all your content and communication under one roof, all while keeping ownership of your data.

    We talk through the advantages of keeping your content out of walled gardens like Substack and Patreon, and the value of flexibility, whether thatтАЩs adding WooCommerce to sell merch or customising your siteтАЩs look.

    Rob and Tony breakdown just how easy it is to start your show. Drop audio into a post, set your category, and let Jetpack handle the rest. From distributing your RSS feed to major podcast apps, to sending out newsletters, and automated social posts. They also get into how integrations with PocketCasts and Jetpack AI make content creation, transcription, and distribution smoother than ever before. Plus how WordPress is open Foundation promises youтАЩll never be locked in.

    If you are a creator wondering how the next generation of podcasting fits into the WordPress ecosystem, or just want an easier way to launch and grow your show, this episode is for you.

    If youтАЩre interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where youтАЩll find all the other episodes as well.

    And so without further delay, I bring you Rob Pugh and Tony Arcangelini.

    I am joined on the podcast by Rob Pugh and Tony Arcangelini. Hello, both.

    [00:03:23] Rob Pugh: Hey, howтАЩs it going, Nathan?

    [00:03:24] Tony: Hello, Nathan.

    [00:03:25] Nathan Wrigley: Nice to have you both with us.

    Today weтАЩre going to be talking about something which is actually genuinely dear to my heart because weтАЩre going on about podcasts. Yay!

    IтАЩve been in the podcasting space for decades, and WordPress has been the place where IтАЩve done it every single episode. IтАЩm entirely indebted to WordPress for the capacity to do all of the podcasting IтАЩve done. But IтАЩve never done it inside of Jetpack, because until recently, I donтАЩt think that was possible. So thatтАЩs what weтАЩre going to talk about today.

    First of all, IтАЩll just go round the houses. IтАЩll start with Rob. Would you mind giving us just a quick potted bio of what it is that you do over at Automattic, Jetpack, whatever it is that you want to mention.

    [00:04:04] Rob Pugh: Yeah, so IтАЩve worked at Automattic for seven years. IтАЩve been in marketing and now focused more on product, but I like to do a bit of everything. And I work mostly with tools for people that create stuff. So podcasts fit right in there, and we are excited to build out this feature.

    [00:04:19] Nathan Wrigley: Nice. Thank you. Tony.

    [00:04:21] Tony: Yeah. IтАЩve also worked for Automattic for about eight years now. I do software development, and so I have had firsthand in building everything that weтАЩre talking about today.

    [00:04:31] Nathan Wrigley: Okay, thank you very much.

    Now, just before we started recording, I was on the call with Tony before Rob joined in and you labored the point, not labored, but you mentioned that you were in the sort of creator side of Automattic. I didnтАЩt know that existed, but that to me is about the most interesting bit of any organization. You know, the bit where the musicians come, and the poets come and the writers come and the podcasters, and the videos and the YouTubers, and all of that come. I think thatтАЩs really interesting, and I didnтАЩt realise there was a wing of the business entirely aligned to that. But I guess IтАЩve been schooled, and now I know. So podcasting definitely comes under that banner.

    Okay so I didnтАЩt know this existed, and I think it didnтАЩt exist, but maybe Tony can redirect me a little bit here. Podcasting in the WordPress space, I think you could do more or less everything that weтАЩre about to talk about inside of wordpress.com until recently, but now itтАЩs shipped inside of Jetpack. First of all, IтАЩll just send that one to Tony. Is that true? Is this all like a port of things into Jetpack from .com?

    [00:05:32] Tony: IтАЩd say itтАЩs a little bit more than a port. So we built a very basic feature of podcasting in WordPress.com to offer WordPress.com users. It was very basic. It was just the feed. Basically what you see in the free offerings right now. The ability to drag an audio into a post and for that post to then become a podcast episode. And then we had a curated RSS feed that was available. And then very basic, the core basic iTunes tags that are needed to be able to be picked up by these apps.

    That existed there. It was a bit outdated. It hadnтАЩt been touched in a long time, and so we felt like it would be a great tool to leverage for creators. Giving them a better product, something that would be useful with stats and the ability to manage your episodes and all of that. And we figured if we were going to put all this effort into it, that we should probably make it more widely available. And so Jetpack was, I think, the natural fit for us.

    [00:06:26] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, IтАЩm kind of curious how itтАЩs ended up in Jetpack and not just its own plugin. Is it because youтАЩre leveraging the other things that Jetpack can do? Are there sort of dependencies, if you know what I mean, where, okay, it just makes sense because Jetpack already does that piece of the puzzle, and we can just build over the top of that?

    Or is it just the brand recognition, the fact that youтАЩve got an email list that you donтАЩt need to convert and they can just toggle a switch and automatically have got podcasts? What was the reasoning on putting it inside of Jetpack and not just its own thing?

    [00:06:54] Tony: I would say, at least from an engineering perspective, thereтАЩs stuff thatтАЩs in it that is exclusively within Jetpack. So, the ability to do stats, thatтАЩs a hard thing to do when youтАЩre having a self-hosted site, to be able to watch and see what apps are actually touching those download files, and then be able to aggregate them all in one place and then give them back to you in a way thatтАЩs easy.

    So, at least from an architectural perspective, Jetpack was the easiest because it allows us to leverage some of the endpoints that are already there, and use a lot of those tools.

    But then secondly, I think itтАЩs also from an overall product perspective, being able to put it alongside other features like newsletters. Where you can have a newsletter, you can be able to take it into the reader. Have this one episode that now spans across multiple different avenues to be consumed, is I think, also another big benefit in putting it into Jetpack. As opposed to just dropping another, because thereтАЩs already a lot of plugins out there, a few big plugins that you can grab for free that do podcasting.

    [00:07:56] Nathan Wrigley: I think one of the big bits that I realised early on in my podcasting journey was that youтАЩre not really just trying to create an audio feed. ItтАЩs more useful as a podcast if youтАЩve got this kind of wrap around thing. So like you say, youтАЩve got a home which is yours, AKA your WordPress website. But also things like the capacity to send out an email if people are interested in subscribing, and they donтАЩt necessarily have a podcast player that they use all the time, but they do want to consume your content.

    The fact that they can subscribe to a newsletter, you click publish, that newsletter automatically drops in their inbox. It just makes sense that all the jigsaw pieces that a podcaster needs, it feels like WordPress has had forever.

    And there is some part of me which is curious that itтАЩs taken this long to come into the, letтАЩs say, .org side of WordPress. Because all of the different parts, the newsletter, the RSS feed, the blog posting, all of that stuff has been available. It just kind of never got joined up. It strikes me as odd because people have moved over to Patreon, Substack has become this whole thing over the last decade. And really it felt like WordPress had that audience a decade ago.

    Maybe itтАЩll claw it back. I certainly hope it does, but it feels like a lot of people have left the WordPress ecosystem for their podcasting because that stuff wasnтАЩt available. Rob, maybe you want to take that one? ItтАЩs not really a question, more of an observation.

    [00:09:16] Rob Pugh: Yeah, thereтАЩs a lot to unpack there. I agree. I think we were a little late in bringing some of these tools to wordpress.org. But I think weтАЩre seeing the renewed focus across the technology space on ownership.

    WordPress has remained the best way to do that. And for us to be able to offer these tools to users. It shows everyone that you can, as you said, own your blog your newsletter, your podcast, together. And it does make sense for us to offer all of these tools in one space.

    I like to think of it going back to the origins of WordPress, and we started as blogging, everyone getting your thoughts out there and sharing them. Meeting new people, engaging and creating communities. And podcast is just another medium. We provide that for the written word, so of course we should try and provide that for the spoken word as well. So I do hope that we can show people the benefits, and the ease of having it all together and come back and give us a try.

    [00:10:11] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah. I think for me at least anyway, that argument is embedded in my soul. The idea of owning your own content on the web is really important. ItтАЩd be interesting to see in the year 2026, 2027 and going forward how much that stuff really matters. IтАЩm just curious, in the age of AI whether people still want to own anything at all. But itтАЩll be certainly interesting to see.

    [00:10:30] Rob Pugh: Sorry, yeah, weigh in on that. I think weтАЩve seen it over decades and comes in waves. When social media started it was really exciting, and people ran and then saw some of the pitfalls, and they start coming back.

    And then recently you mentioned Substack, and I loved Substack when it started. It was a space for some serious dialogue, and a place for writers engage. And then over time, well, we need that VC money, and now itтАЩs basically another social media site. And you realise, oh I donтАЩt really own my data, I just own a Substack, and how valuable is that? And itтАЩs coming back.

    And I think AI, itтАЩs becoming even, the cycles are quicker now. AIтАЩs incredible, I use it all the time. I use it to help come up with prototypes for how to best display this podcast product. But, youтАЩll see quickly that you donтАЩt own anything, and you need to have a home like WordPress. And you retain ownership of your audience, and your data and your posts and your podcasts, and thatтАЩs, I think, never going to go away, and AIтАЩs only going to reinforce that for people.

    [00:11:23] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, I think one of the curious things as well is if you want to do anything outside of the normal that the platform will allow, so letтАЩs take the example of Substack. ThereтАЩs a limited subset of things that it can do. The bedrock of what it does IтАЩm sure is excellent. I confess IтАЩve never used it, but IтАЩve seen many people deploy it for their own podcast, so you know, it must work.

    But the minute you want to stray outside of those boundaries, and you want to do something a little bit different, I donтАЩt know, you might want to sell some merchandise or something like that. Well just pop WooCommerce on top of your website and youтАЩre off to the races.

    Or, I donтАЩt know, you want to have a different flavor in the way it looks at Christmas or something, well you just adapt the theme. And IтАЩm, imagining good luck doing that over on these proprietary platforms. I donтАЩt know if thatтАЩs possible, but it certainly would be a lot harder than it would be on the WordPress side I would have thought.

    [00:12:08] Rob Pugh: For sure the customisation expanding is all very important, but to me even more important is just that it feels like Substack is just another platform thatтАЩs changing the rules on their people midstream, and if you donтАЩt like the direction of. Like tried it before and it was nice to have a non-social media site to have serious writing and reading of other serious authors, and now IтАЩm getting short form reel videos on my homepage, and I didnтАЩt sign up for this.

    And if youтАЩre a creator over there, you might be stuck. How do you port your audience over? ItтАЩs technically possible, so they say theyтАЩre open, but itтАЩs a pain, and people donтАЩt want to leave. And if youтАЩre actually successful, they take 10%, which is great when youтАЩre zero paid subscribers. But, thereтАЩs people paying $10,000 a month to Substack.

    [00:12:48] Nathan Wrigley: They take 10%?

    [00:12:49] Rob Pugh: 10% no matter what, which is great if youтАЩre free, but if you have 100 paid subscribers paying you $10 a month, suddenly itтАЩs insane. Like itтАЩs a terrible deal and people feel stuck. Like WordPress even, wordpress.com, jetpack, if donтАЩt like those rules, we canтАЩt change them too much. You can go to any of the other great podcast hosts, or plugins.

    [00:13:09] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, I guess thatтАЩs a curious thing. And then you can embed those on your WordPress website and just carry right on as if nothing had happened. Yeah, thatтАЩs a really interesting point.

    [00:13:15] Rob Pugh: Exactly.

    [00:13:16] Nathan Wrigley: So from what IтАЩve seen, it looks like a really simple solution to implement. What I mean by that is, as a user of your product, it seems like youтАЩre basically doing a bunch of stuff which as a WordPress user you would be simply doing anyway.

    Like, you create a post. I donтАЩt know if thereтАЩs a requirement to have a special custom post type for a podcast, or if you can just use regular posts. You go in, drop some audio in, and kind of youтАЩre off to the races. Type some text and what have you.

    Is it really as simple as that? Is it simply a case of make a post, drop some audio in? Or is there some stuff that you need to do in advance to prepare your podcast? So IтАЩm leading you up the garden path with that question. Tell us how it works. What do you need to do in order to get started? How much work is involved?

    [00:13:59] Tony: Yeah, I think thatтАЩs it. There are a few settings that are naturally required for starting a show. So you have your typical art for your show. YouтАЩve got to set your categories and things like that in a setting. But then once thatтАЩs all set up, all you do is you create a new post, drop in the audio. We actually have an audio block as well, like a podcast episode block that will pull in a lot of the newer, fancier, podcasting 2.0 markup as well for you to do like chapters and things like that. And then thatтАЩs it.

    As long as itтАЩs within the category, itтАЩs not a custom post type, itтАЩs just a regular post. And then we are able to differentiate between an episode and just a post by two things. One, is it in the designated category that you set? And two, does it have the audio or video? We also have a few video files that we allow as well, and thatтАЩs it.

    [00:14:46] Nathan Wrigley: Okay, thatтАЩs really neat. So you can use a regular WordPress post, but if you donтАЩt assign it the category, letтАЩs say in this case IтАЩve named it podcast, letтАЩs go with that. If you donтАЩt assign that category, itтАЩs a regular post. Nothing off that tries to smuggle its way into your RSS feed, which would be attempted to be consumed by a podcast player. It just doesnтАЩt go in there.

    The minute I assign the category of podcast, drop in some audio, then itтАЩs in that separate RSS feed. Dear listener, if youтАЩre not familiar with that, basically a podcast is an RSS feed. That is literally what it is. Your podcast player is just consuming a bunch of text, which is an RSS feed, and interpreting that in a certain way with images and the audio and what have you.

    And so thatтАЩs it. ThatтАЩs all you have to do. Configure the settings, put a piece of audio in, assign the category, click publish. YouтАЩre done.

    [00:15:35] Tony: Yep, thatтАЩs all. ThatтАЩs all it is. I think the harder part is trying to come up with the titles and filling out the show notes. And, I have a friend who I got to start a podcast when we were working on this product, and he was using it, giving us feedback. But then, itтАЩs like I looked at his podcast, and it was literally just like episode one, and it just, heтАЩs like, тАЬThatтАЩs the hard part, is coming up with all of the other stuff.тАЭ

    [00:15:53] Nathan Wrigley: But you have Jetpack AI as well, donтАЩt you? So there is an opportunity, I would presume, to lean into that. If you were to write a corpus of text that went alongside the, I donтАЩt know, the audio, it could be a transcript or what have you. Presumably then Jetpack can go sift through all of that, and suggest some sensible titles if you really canтАЩt be bothered to work out a title for the podcast episode. But then again, does it have the capacity to do things like trawl through the audio and transcribe and things like that? Or is that a bit roadmap-y still?

    [00:16:20] Tony: Yeah. So that was one of the things that we wanted to work on was the ability to transcribe. And, because we have the privilege of working closely with Pocket Casts, we have, a lot of fancy tools that they have built already for their podcasting platform that we were going to try and leverage for the podcast show.

    [00:16:39] Nathan Wrigley: Pocket Casts is an Android, iOS, and, itтАЩs a web player as well. ItтАЩs a place where you go download onto your phone or what have you and play them. I have it, I use it every single week, and IтАЩve noticed that whether a transcript is made or not, Pocket Casts actually makes one.

    [00:16:54] Tony: Yep.

    [00:16:54] Nathan Wrigley: So if I ship a podcast without a transcript, Pocket Casts magically has a transcript. So I donтАЩt know where that voodoo is happening. But that technology, you can then do double duty on that. You can take the technology theyтАЩve built, use it in the Jetpack side of things, and do the transcription. Okay, thatтАЩs neat. Sorry, I interrupted. Apologies.

    [00:17:11] Tony: YouтАЩre good. Yeah, thatтАЩs all of it. ThatтАЩs, it right there.

    [00:17:13] Rob Pugh: I think thatтАЩs a great segue into Pocket Casts, which in our opinion is the best app to listen to podcasts. The best platform. And one of the really cool things we were able to do with, because we work closely with Pocket Casts, is when you are distributing your podcast. We pick, just to start, the six biggest ones and hold your hand on submitting to them. But Pocket Casts is actually Automattic. Automattic, you can spell it with one or two Ts. And, if you click the button, it just is uploaded to their network It takes minutes, and itтАЩs, some of the other ones, we hold your hand, but itтАЩs a little annoying, and some of them can take a couple days, like Apple, to approve things. But, Pocket Casts just works. I donтАЩt know if you want to add anything on that magic, Tony.

    [00:17:52] Tony: Yeah, itтАЩs very simple. ItтАЩs like right off the bat. If you already had an episode recorded, you could start a new website, upload your first episode, set your settings, and be on Pocket Casts, I would say, in less than an hour, honestly.

    [00:18:06] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, because youтАЩve got that tight integration.

    [00:18:08] Tony: Yeah. It doesnтАЩt say anything for the website configurations, which IтАЩm sure would take more time, but at the very least, if you wanted to get your show out there, itтАЩs a pretty instant approval.

    [00:18:17] Nathan Wrigley: I think podcast players. If youтАЩve never run a podcast, thereтАЩs this whole dance that you have to do. The first time you ever try to release an episode, and that is to get it set up with the distribution channels that are popular. So IтАЩm thinking of things like Apple Podcasts, and YouTube Music, and Amazon, and the list goes on and on. ThereтАЩs, dozens of them, some more important than others. I think probably Apple is probably the biggest one, and maybe Spotify and some others come in second and third place.

    But you have to do this thing where in some cases you have to go and get an account, and thereтАЩs really no way around that. Do you do some of that heavy lifting though? Do you make it easy for people to understand how to do it? When I did it, like 10 years ago for the first, and thankfully, only time I really ever had to do it, it was a case of going out and Googling it and reading things. But do you have that information in the UI to make that journey a little bit easier, reduce hours to minutes perhaps?

    [00:19:07] Tony: Yep, we have a button.

    [00:19:08] Rob Pugh: So thereтАЩs a distribution tab which lists the, all six like you mentioned, Amazon, Spotify, Apple, Pocket Casts, Podcast Index, which covers a whole bunch of minor networks. And IтАЩd love to one day have it be fully automatic like it is with Pocket Casts. But some of them you need actual partnerships with these, Apple or Spotify to make that happen, and we havenтАЩt prioritized putting a business person to go start a relationship and that.

    So we will organize them for you and try and give clear instructions in our documentation to how to do it. But there is just a button then when youтАЩre looking and it shows you the status of it, if itтАЩs in or not.

    [00:19:42] Nathan Wrigley: Okay. So you click the button, do the necessary thing, and then it will report back to you whether or not that has been successful. ItтАЩs a bit of a strange vestige really of the internet from way back when. It feels like in this day and age of everybody using APIs to connect to this, that, and the other thing.

    But companies like Apple seem to be very unwilling to let that bit of their system be wide open. YouтАЩve got to sign up for an Apple Creators account. I forget exactly what itтАЩs called, but you log in and then you submit your RSS feed. It really doesnтАЩt take that long, but you still have to do it.

    [00:20:12] Rob Pugh: Yeah.

    [00:20:13] Nathan Wrigley: And I think theyтАЩre doing it because they get to see from the inside out, how popular your podcast is. And I donтАЩt know, maybe they can monetize things from their end. IтАЩm not really sure how that works.

    [00:20:23] Rob Pugh: ItтАЩs really another example of the closed internet.

    [00:20:26] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah.

    [00:20:26] Rob Pugh: Which is terrible. Why does Apple and Spotify need to be closed? So I think with having your podcast on WordPress with Jetpack, wordpress.com, and being in Pocket Casts, great. Then youтАЩre, in the more of the open garden which is a better place to be.

    And the cool thing with our stats, you can see whoтАЩs coming, like how many people are listening to your show on Apple versus Spotify versus Pocket Casts. So you know if youтАЩre not getting any from Spotify, then you donтАЩt even need to be there. Of course though, it helps with findability to be everywhere, so we want to give you that option.

    [00:20:56] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, at the end of the day, it all boils down to an RSS feed, which if itтАЩs on your WordPress website presumably contains your domain name, forward slash, I donтАЩt know, feed forward slash something maybe. So your RSS feed is going to be fairly short, probably very on message.

    Does it work that way or does it have some sort of Jetpack or, I donтАЩt know, WordPress.com thing in it? Because when you go to these other platforms, itтАЩs typically platformname.com/randomstringof12characters or something like that, which is very hard to read out in your podcast. But the way youтАЩve got it built, it sounds like the sort of thing that would trip off the tongue. So you know, wptavern.com/podcast. Put that into your podcast player of choice and youтАЩre done. IтАЩm saying all of that like thatтАЩs true, but I donтАЩt know if it is.

    [00:21:40] Tony: Yeah, thatтАЩs it. Slash feed at the end.

    [00:21:43] Nathan Wrigley: Okay.

    [00:21:43] Tony: Because it is an RSS feed, yeah.

    [00:21:45] Nathan Wrigley: ThatтАЩs still fairly straightforward. But again, thatтАЩs a nice bit of branding, isnтАЩt it? And, I think thatтАЩs really good.

    Linking it back to the branding. We touched on this a minute ago, but if you havenтАЩt started a podcast before, it may not be entirely obvious that you do want those other things like a newsletter, and like the ability to post to socials, and it feels like youтАЩve got the complete wraparound solution for that.

    Because as your podcast grows, which letтАЩs hope it does, then you will probably wish to have a relationship with your listeners via an email newsletter. You probably will wish to be posting on social media. You probably will wish to do all of these different things. So social posting, newsletter, RSS feed, WordPress as the sort of custodian of all the text and the images and the videos that I put in. Is there any other secret sauce that weтАЩve missed there? Is there any other sort of unique binding that Jetpack brings that we havenтАЩt mentioned there?

    [00:22:37] Rob Pugh: IтАЩll take it back first to like why we started this, and decided to build this, and I think youтАЩre exactly right. First we found there are lots of WordPress.com and Jetpack users who have podcasts somewhere else. And thatтАЩs fine, but they were forced to because we didnтАЩt offer it, and that really makes sense. Why would you need to go somewhere else?

    So you say today, our goal in creating it was twofold for the people creating the platform. It should just be as easy as possible. Podcasting and writing is hard enough. You should focus on that. Let us handle all the difficult stuff.

    Like you said, you need to, have a newsletter and a podcast and a blog and own all of it, and why canтАЩt you do that with one publish event? And then from the consumerтАЩs side of like consumer of content, some people want to listen to only podcasts, and some people want to read on a blog or, say, the WordPress.com reader. Shout out, go check that out if you havenтАЩt in a while.

    And like me, I prefer to actually read stuff in my email inbox, like a old weirdo. It shouldnтАЩt be, you should let people consume however they want to, and it shouldnтАЩt be a lot of extra work for you, the host, the creator, to manage all of these things on different platforms. Just have it be as simple as possible, and that was really our goal. And then, yes, exactly what you said with all the other Jetpack stuff. Social media is a great one. Gosh, you could go on and on. Performance, security, basics.

    [00:23:46] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah. And it binds to, you said it just then, and it binds to the one publish event. So when I began my podcasting journey you end up with, like all these Zapier connections and different ways that, I donтАЩt know, a webhook which goes off here and does a particular thing because you want it to be posted to this social network. With this, once youтАЩve got all of the bits and pieces configured, you click publish.

    So you know, you do your audio, you write your text, you do all of that in a draft state, upload the audio. But the moment you click publish, the newsletter goes out, the social media posts go out, and all of that just happens automatically. And you donтАЩt have to think about it. And theyтАЩre already there in your website.

    ItтАЩs not like you have to do much. You just toggle, actually we should talk about that. You have to toggle the Jetpack podcast setting on, and presumably the newsletter setting, and yada yada, all those other things. But once youтАЩve toggled all those things on and got them set up, every time you click publish, all of those dominoes fall, and everything just happens on autopilot, which is really nice.

    What do we need to toggle on? How do we set it up? How expensive is it? LetтАЩs start there.

    [00:24:50] Rob Pugh: IтАЩll talk about the pricing and then Tony can talk about the, the toggles.

    [00:24:54] Nathan Wrigley: Excellent. Yeah.

    [00:24:55] Rob Pugh: Yeah, we talked a bit about the pricing. I think that Automattic has always had a really generous free tier across its products, and it made sense for us to continue that. So you can today go to WordPress.com and start a blog for free.

    ItтАЩs going to have some ads on it, but itтАЩs free. You can have your newsletter sent out unlimited sends for free with unlimited subscribers, and unlimited podcasts for free. ThatтАЩs like, amazing deal. We donтАЩt get enough credit for that, but cool.

    But we did build some compelling things to make you hopefully want to upgrade, or as you grow your podcast, youтАЩll find valuable. I think the stats are really cool. To me, all of the essential stats and none of the unessential stats, which if youтАЩre an advanced podcaster might not be as good as youтАЩre looking for. But, for most novice users, you just want to know the basics.

    Anything beyond that starts to feel like Google Analytics, like, IтАЩm lost. So just give me the basic. Are they coming on Apple? Where, how many listeners to which episodes, and where in the world are they coming from? Which refers, like which sites are they coming from? ThatтАЩs a great starting place for me.

    Help with distribution, the episode list, having a clear place for all your podcast episodes, the podcast block, really cool. And on WordPress.com too, we include the audio hosting once you upgrade. ItтАЩs not on Jetpack yet, so weтАЩre waiting to see if, because we offer a similar thing for VideoPress, shout out best video hosting for WordPress.

    [00:26:09] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, thereтАЩs VideoPress will handle the video side of things. ThatтАЩs becoming the thing, by the way. IтАЩm sure you know that. But in the podcasting space, I went to The Podcast Show in London, about four months ago or something like that. EverybodyтАЩs talking about video.

    [00:26:22] Rob Pugh: Yeah.

    [00:26:23] Nathan Wrigley: And so that being bound into Jetpack as well is just another string to your bow. IтАЩm just going to segue slightly. I think Pocket Cast does a pretty good job of doing things like HLS video. I could be wrong about that, but IтАЩve got a feeling it does.

    [00:26:35] Rob Pugh: They even hook up with your Apple TV now, so you can watch and listen and yeah.

    [00:26:40] Nathan Wrigley: Oh, so this is really clever and completely out of the realms of possibility just a year ago. So you could be listening on your headphones whilst youтАЩre out walking the dog on your podcast player, so youтАЩre only listening to audio. And you come back in, put your Apple TV on, turn on the Pocket Cast player, and it will seamlessly drop you right in the video at the exact moment where you finished the dog walk. ItтАЩs so clever and so neat. I love all that stuff.

    [00:27:08] Rob Pugh: The future is so cool.

    [00:27:09] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah.

    [00:27:10] Rob Pugh: I love it.

    [00:27:10] Nathan Wrigley: Okay. So Tony, how do we switch it on? Is it genuinely one toggle in the Jetpack settings, or is there a little bit more to be set up?

    [00:27:17] Tony: Yeah, more or less. There is one toggle to turn the module on. And then once itтАЩs on, you go to Jetpack and click on the podcast option, and then from there, there should just be one button that is to set up your show.

    And all it really requires is you either creating a new category or selecting a category. And this is, as we were talking about before, the category feed that is going to be taken over from there. And then you technically are done. But itтАЩs advised that you fill out all of the other base settings, and we walk you through all of the ones that are required by the podcast show apps, to make sure that you donтАЩt get blocked by Apple or Spotify for not having the necessary settings.

    [00:27:57] Nathan Wrigley: If IтАЩve been a podcaster for a number of years and IтАЩve got, I donтАЩt know, a back catalog of 100 episodes or something like that. How do we handle that? How do we bring in previous episodes? And is there like an automated way of doing that or do I have to go and refigure 100 brand new pages on my WordPress website?

    Is there any heavy lifting done there? LetтАЩs just deal with the audio first, just the RSS feed and the audio. Is it a simple case of dropping the old podcast RSS feed in and youтАЩll capture all that audio and itтАЩll be on the Jetpack side of things? LetтАЩs do that first.

    [00:28:28] Tony: ThatтАЩs a great question. I am not super familiar with the Core WordPress importer, but I believe that if there is a valid RSS feed with the normal RSS style tags, like enclosure and things like that, you should be able to import your RSS feed. Depending on how itтАЩs configured on your current host, directly into WordPress. IтАЩm not too sure what that would result in exactly. Especially because thereтАЩs a lot of different hosts out there, and itтАЩs not like thereтАЩs one standard format for exporting your content. But yeah, that should get you part of the way there.

    Then I think in the future, weтАЩre really looking to start targeting some of the major current podcast hosts to be able to configure a migration flow to be able to come from those places to ours, in a more seamless way, albeit whatever sort of export they can give you or, whatnot. But I think thatтАЩs still on the horizon.

    [00:29:27] Nathan Wrigley: Yeah, itтАЩd be really nice to, letтАЩs say I have 100 episodes and IтАЩve got, itтАЩs over on whatever, hosting platform X over there, for my podcast audio feed. ItтАЩd be nice to be able to just suck in all the descriptions, and all the titles and have them be created as WordPress posts with the category assigned. So that essentially my WordPress site with the click of a button and the wait of an hour has suddenly got 100 posts of the podcast type all ready to go. And then, thatтАЩll sit inside my SEO sitemap and all of that kind of stuff. That would be really interesting to be able to do, I think.

    [00:29:58] Rob Pugh: Yeah, I think we will try and have that in the future. We usually do try and make importing, especially from closed platforms, super easy. An example, another Substack. We have an amazing Substack importer. TheyтАЩre not a big podcaster yet, but they, do have some, and we can look at adding that. But if you have all of your newsletter on Substack, you click a button and we bring over your whole, build you a website, bring over all your posts, all your subscribers, even paid subscribers. We seamlessly transfer it to the Stripe account. Everything weтАЩre building, weтАЩre just trying to make it super easy for people to own your data, go wherever you want. We encourage movement in and out, wherever you want to go, itтАЩs up to you.

    [00:30:31] Nathan Wrigley: I suppose that then leads me to this question, which is, and youтАЩve probably just answered it. YouтАЩre not holding people behind some sort of paywall here. If people try Jetpack Podcasts out and they decide, тАЬYou know what? I really want to go the other direction. I want to maybe go back to where I was, or just move to a new host,тАЭ or what have you. YouтАЩre not holding any of that hostage, are you? You can take it and run with it and put it somewhere else?

    [00:30:52] Rob Pugh: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely not. Like thatтАЩs the, I think, one of the fundamentals of WordPress. You should be able to move within WordPress and out as much as you want. I will say that this is a new feature that me and Tony have built. Just because something doesnтАЩt exist in a super streamlined way, doesnтАЩt mean itтАЩs our intention to lock you in. So please reach out and weтАЩll happily help you migrate off if thatтАЩs your wish.

    [00:31:15] Nathan Wrigley: So IтАЩll just let you know, dear listener, that thereтАЩs several URLs which rather than read them, because in many cases they can be quite long. But one of them, which is really easy for me to say, I might as well do that one, is wordpress.com/podcast. ThatтАЩs probably the easiest one. Oh, and maybe this one as well, jetpack.com/support/jetpack-podcast. ThereтАЩs several more.

    [00:31:38] Rob Pugh: Let me jump in. Let me sorry, Because as of two days ago, we now have jetpack.com/podcast.

    [00:31:45] Nathan Wrigley: Oh, okay. ThatтАЩs way better.

    [00:31:46] Rob Pugh: We just relaunched the entire jetpack.com site, which is cool. You should go check it out. Yeah, so.

    [00:31:51] Nathan Wrigley: Again though, that, so what was that? Jetpack.com/podcast is kind of the home for all of those bits and pieces.

    [00:31:56] Rob Pugh: Yep, exactly.

    [00:31:57] Nathan Wrigley: In which case, go there. ThatтАЩs where youтАЩre going to find all of the bits and pieces and I presume, when things are, adapted and modified.

    [00:32:03] Rob Pugh: Yeah, the way to think about itтАЩs still for some people confusing about Jetpack. So if you would like a website, the best WordPress hosting, then go to wordpress.com/podcast, and weтАЩll host your podcast for you. And if you want to host somewhere else, thatтАЩs great. Go host your WordPress site somewhere else, then go to jetpack.com/podcast and weтАЩll get you all set up as well.

    [00:32:23] Nathan Wrigley: In which case, I will say thank you Rob, and thank you, Tony. Thanks so much for chatting to me, both of you.

    [00:32:28] Rob Pugh: Yeah. Thank you Nathan.

    [00:32:28] Tony: Yep, thank you.

    On the podcast today we have Rob Pugh and Tony Arcangelini.

    Rob and Tony are longstanding members of the Automattic team, with extensive backgrounds in marketing, product, and software development. TheyтАЩve spent years building tools for creators, writers, podcasters, and everyone in between, and are now fully immersed in WordPressтАЩs evolving podcasting capabilities.

    If youтАЩve been looking for ways to run your podcast from your own WordPress site, this conversation is for you. Rob and Tony dive into the new Jetpack podcasting features and why they made the leap from WordPress.comтАЩs basic audio offerings to a more robust, integrated solution within Jetpack. They talk about what makes WordPress and Jetpack such a powerful home for creators: the ability to bring your newsletter, blog, podcast, and all your content and communication under one roof, all while keeping ownership of your data.

    We talk through the advantages of keeping your content out of walled gardens like Substack and Patreon, and the value of flexibility, whether thatтАЩs adding WooCommerce to sell merch or customising your siteтАЩs look. Rob and Tony break down just how easy it is to start your show, drop audio into a post, set your category, and let Jetpack handle the rest, from distributing your RSS feed to major podcast apps, to sending out newsletters and automated social posts.

    They also get into how integrations with Pocket Casts and Jetpack AI make content creation, transcription, and distribution smoother than ever, plus how WordPressтАЩ open foundation promises youтАЩll never be locked in.

    If youтАЩre a creator wondering how the next generation of podcasting fits into the WordPress ecosystem, or just want an easier way to launch and grow your show, this episode is for you.

    Guadalajara celebra 110 a├▒os del nacimiento de Antonio Buero Vallejo

    Guadalajara celebra 110 a├▒os del nacimiento de Antonio Buero Vallejo

    Guadalajara celebra hoy el 110 aniversario del nacimiento de Antonio Buero Vallejo, uno de los grandes dramaturgos de la literatura espa├▒ola y una figura imprescindible del patrimonio cultural de la ciudad. Nacido el 29 de septiembre de 1916, el autor dej├│ una obra que contin├║a encontr├бndose con nuevas generaciones de lectores y espectadores, y que ha llevado el nombre de Guadalajara m├бs all├б de nuestras fronteras.

    El primer teniente de alcalde y concejal de Cultura, Javier Toquero, destaca la dimensi├│n humana y art├нstica de un creador cuya memoria forma parte de las se├▒as de identidad de Guadalajara. ┬лBuero Vallejo nos dej├│ uno de los legados culturales m├бs valiosos de nuestra ciudad. Nos dej├│ personajes que siguen hablando de nosotros, historias que nos hacen pensar y una manera de entender el teatro que pone a las personas en el centro. Recordarlo es reconocer lo que hemos recibido y asumir la responsabilidad de transmitirlo┬╗.

    Autor de t├нtulos como Historia de una escalera, En la ardiente oscuridad, El tragaluz o La Fundaci├│n, Buero Vallejo hizo del escenario un lugar desde el que explorar la esperanza, la dignidad y los conflictos del ser humano. Su teatro renov├│ la escena espa├▒ola y mantiene su capacidad para interpelar al p├║blico, m├бs all├б de la ├йpoca en la que fueron escritas sus obras.

    Guadalajara celebra 110 a├▒os del nacimiento de Antonio Buero Vallejo

    Su trayectoria recibi├│ algunos de los mayores reconocimientos de las letras espa├▒olas. En 1986 se convirti├│ en el primer dramaturgo distinguido con el Premio Cervantes y, en 1996, obtuvo el Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa├▒olas. Miembro de la Real Academia Espa├▒ola, recibi├│ tambi├йn la Medalla de Oro de Guadalajara y el t├нtulo de Hijo Predilecto de la ciudad en 1987.

    ┬лHay autores que pertenecen a la historia de la literatura y que, al mismo tiempo, siguen presentes en la vida de una ciudad. Buero Vallejo es uno de ellos. Guadalajara est├б en sus ra├нces y su nombre est├б unido a nuestra cultura. Queremos que los m├бs j├│venes lo descubran, que sus obras sigan ley├йndose y que el encuentro con su teatro contin├║e┬╗, se├▒ala Toquero.

    La ciudad conserva una parte especialmente cercana de ese legado en el Espacio Muse├нstico Buero Vallejo del Palacio de la Cotilla, que puede visitarse gratuitamente. All├н se expone el despacho que el escritor ten├нa en su domicilio madrile├▒o, con su mobiliario y enseres originales: el escritorio, la butaca, una antigua m├бquina de escribir y retratos familiares que permiten acercarse a su entorno cotidiano.

    El espacio permite conocer tambi├йn su faceta como pintor, su primera vocaci├│n art├нstica, a trav├йs de obras que completan la mirada sobre el creador. El Ayuntamiento invita a vecinos y visitantes a recorrer estas salas y descubrir al hombre que hay detr├бs de los textos, sus inquietudes y el ambiente que acompa├▒├│ su trabajo.
    Esta conmemoraci├│n llega, adem├бs, mientras la Concejal├нa de Cultura trabaja en una programaci├│n especial para celebrar en 2027 el 25 aniversario del Teatro Auditorio Buero Vallejo. Entre las citas ya anunciadas figuran los conciertos de Fito y Fitipaldis de los d├нas 23 y 24 de abril de 2027, dentro de su gira Aullidos Tour. Teatros y Auditorios, como parte de la celebraci├│n de este cuarto de siglo de actividad cultural.

    ┬лEstamos preparando una programaci├│n especial para celebrar los 25 a├▒os del Teatro Buero Vallejo. Veinticinco a├▒os de encuentros. Veinticinco a├▒os de artistas y de p├║blico. Veinticinco a├▒os de historias compartidas. Las actuaciones ya anunciadas de Fito y Fitipaldis forman parte de ese camino, y queremos que esta celebraci├│n reconozca a todas las personas que han dado vida a nuestro teatro┬╗, adelanta Toquero.

    El concejal subraya que ambas efem├йrides permiten unir la memoria del escritor con el presente y el futuro cultural de Guadalajara. ┬лEl nombre de Buero Vallejo nos acompa├▒a cada vez que se levanta el tel├│n de nuestro auditorio. Honrarlo significa cuidar su legado, acercar su obra y seguir haciendo del teatro un lugar de encuentro. Ciento diez a├▒os despu├йs de su nacimiento, Guadalajara tiene mucho que agradecerle. Que su palabra siga viva┬╗.

    Introduction

    My name is Satyam Vishwakarma, though most people know me as Satya.

    I come from a small village called Mahmadpur, near Fatehpur, the city of Doaba, in Uttar Pradesh, nestled between the sacred Ganga and Yamuna rivers. This is the place IтАЩve always called home.

    I studied Electronics Engineering (Micro) at Government Polytechnic College in Fatehpur. Growing up and studying in a relatively small city, I never had a clear idea of where technology or the internet could take me.

    Satyam in the lunch line at WordCamp
    Satyam Vishwakarma presenting his project during the first year of his diploma, 2018.

    I didnтАЩt discover WordPress with a big career plan. I was simply curious about technology and wanted to help the people around me.

    Most of my classmates, including me, came from Hindi-medium schools or the UP Board. A lot of the technical material we found online was either difficult to understand or simply wasnтАЩt written in the kind of simple English we were comfortable with.

    At the same time, I was probably one of the more tech-savvy people around me. I loved trying new software, exploring new features, and figuring out how things worked. Whenever I discovered something interesting, I would share it with my WhatsApp groups and classmates.

    I didnтАЩt think of that as writing or teaching at the time.

    I was simply sharing something I had discovered.

    Eventually, I thought: why not put some of this information somewhere that more people could find it?

    That small thought became the beginning of my writing career.

    Before WordPress, there was Blogger

    Some of my earliest opportunities to write online came through people I met on WhatsApp.

    I became friends with Mohit Vyas and Arpit Nuwal through one of the technology-focused WhatsApp groups I was part of. They had built a website called TopJankari. It wasnтАЩt running on WordPress. It was a custom-built, dynamic website with its own basic way of managing content, but it was still fairly simple compared with the content management systems I discovered later.

    I started writing technology and tips-related content for TopJankari.

    For me, this was exciting. I was taking the things I was already experimenting with and turning them into something that other people could actually read and use.

    Around the same time, I started experimenting with Blogger.com and began publishing my own technology and tips-related content there.

    I wasnтАЩt thinking about becoming a professional writer.

    I just enjoyed technology; I enjoyed explaining things, and I liked the idea that something I wrote could help another person solve a problem.

    That was enough motivation to keep going.

    Then WordPress entered the picture

    While I was experimenting with blogging, my brother Shivam (now runs a WordPress design agency called Subhash Digital) built his first website with WordPress.

    That caught my attention.

    I was already curious about how websites worked, and seeing him build something with WordPress gave me an idea of what was possible. I wanted to try it myself.

    Around the same time, my brother Kapil and I started learning WordPress together.

    Neither of us really knew what we were doing.

    We learned through YouTube videos, documentation, blog posts, and mostly through experimentation.

    We would try something, break it, search for why it broke, fix it, and move on to the next thing.

    My first WordPress project was EngineersGuru, a place where I could share content related to my Electronics Engineering (Micro) course.

    I initially ran it as a subdomain, with the idea of making useful course-related tutorials and information easier for fellow students to understand.

    We also started an Android-related blog and Jankari.xyz, a more general website where I could write about pretty much anything I found interesting.

    In hindsight, those websites were my playground.

    They were where I learned WordPress, writing, SEO, content creation, and the basics of running websites.

    I wasnтАЩt following a carefully designed career path. I was just building things because I wanted to see what I could do.

    And that curiosity kept taking me somewhere new.

    Learning by failing

    As I continued blogging, I started learning about SEO, monetization, and affiliate marketing.

    I experimented with different kinds of websites and eventually built more than ten blogs while I was still learning.

    One of my projects eventually became EYNZone (formerly known as EYNWorld), where I started helping others learn WordPress and other skills and grow their own projects.

    There were plenty of failures along the way.

    I applied for Google AdSense more than twenty times before I finally stopped guessing and actually studied the guidelines carefully. Eventually, I got a brand-new domain approved with only two articles.

    An Adsense panel showing success

    That experience stayed with me.

    It taught me that rejection doesnтАЩt necessarily mean you arenтАЩt capable.

    Sometimes you simply havenтАЩt figured out the problem yet.

    That became a recurring theme in my life.

    Looking for a career, finding a community

    Eventually, I started looking for a full-time job in mid 2022.

    That was another learning experience, although not always a pleasant one.

    I applied to more than 800 companies and went through around 2,000 job applications.

    During that period, I discovered UnderrepresentedInTech through Michelle Frechette. That eventually introduced me to Post Status, where I started meeting more people from the WordPress ecosystem.

    Something interesting was happening.

    While I was struggling to find where I fit professionally, I was slowly finding a place for myself in WordPress.

    I started learning not just about the software, but about the project behind it and the people who were building it.

    And then I heard about WordCamp Bhopal.

    The WordCamp I almost couldnтАЩt attend

    My first WordCamp was WordCamp Bhopal in 2023.

    I wanted to go.

    I had told people I would go.

    There was just one problem: I didnтАЩt have the money to actually make the trip happen.

    So I asked for help in the Post Status Slack community.

    I still think about what happened next.

    People who had never met me in person decided to help. Alan, Jenni, and Corey Maass contributed financially. Michelle, Jeff, and others shared my request, and Ronald (from DLXPlugins) also helped after seeing it.

    People I barely knew, or had never met at all, helped me get to an event that I otherwise couldnтАЩt have attended.

    I made it to Bhopal.

    The journey itself was almost comical. I travelled at the last moment, ended up at the wrong location at night, and then had an entire hotel saga before things finally settled down.

    But once I got there, none of that really mattered.

    Later at the event, Nabin Jaiswal also helped.

    I met people I had previously known only through websites, Slack, and social media.

    And then something unexpected happened.

    I wanted to go to another WordCamp.

    Then another.

    That first trip was followed by WordCamp Mumbai, WordCamp Udaipur, where I received a scholarship, and WordCamp Ahmedabad in 2023.

    Within a few months, WordPress had gone from something I used on my computer to something I experienced through people.

    It had faces now.

    Names.

    Conversations.

    Handshakes.

    People asking how I was doing.

    And I wanted to give something back.

    I didnтАЩt know how much I could contribute

    I started with the Marketing team and gradually found my way into other parts of the project: Community, Meetups, Polyglots, Photos, Training, and Core.

    In January 2024, I published a public contribution goal for myself.

    I wanted to contribute 100 photos, translate thousands of strings, work on documentation and training, organize meetups, attend WordCamps, volunteer at events, and make meaningful contributions to marketing.

    At the time, it was simply a list of things I wanted to try.

    I didnтАЩt know where it would lead.

    Within that year, I contributed around 150 photos and translated, reviewed, or suggested around 1,400 strings. I also reviewed Training content, organized my first meetup for WordPressтАЩs 21st birthday, graduated as a mentee in the WordPress Contributor Mentorship Program 2nd Cohort for Support and Polyglots, worked on marketing for releases and events, volunteered at multiple events, and eventually led Contributor Day tables.

    I also became a Project Manager at do_action Bhopal after starting there as a Content and Social Media Manager.

    I also volunteered at PHPCamp 2024, an Un(conference) inspired by the BarCamp format.

    Other WordCamp Events I Attended in 2025тАУ2026

    I also helped with sponsorships and the overall program progress of WPSimplifiedтАЩs three-month live WordPress training program, led by Sunil Kumar Sharma, which ran from November 2025 to January 2026.

    Satyam Vishwakarma, with WPSimplified swag presented in recognition of his organizing efforts.

    On paper, those things look like achievements.

    But thatтАЩs not how I remember them.

    I remember sitting in meetings, wondering whether my idea was good enough.

    I remember asking questions.

    I remember people patiently explaining things.

    I remember realizing that I could actually be useful.

    And I remember the feeling of seeing something I had worked on become part of something much bigger than me.

    That was when contribution started becoming less about тАЬwhat can I get from WordPress?тАЭ and more about тАЬwhat can I give back?тАЭ

    The people became the story

    The more I contributed, the more people I met.

    Some of them became friends.

    Some became mentors.

    Some simply inspired me by watching how they showed up for the community.

    Michelle Frechette has been one of those people for me. So have Topher DeRosia, Isotta Peira, Nidhi Jain, Ganga Kafle, and many others.

    What I admire about people like them isnтАЩt just what they have achieved.

    ItтАЩs the way they make other people feel that there is room for them, too.

    That matters when youтАЩre coming from somewhere like Fatehpur and trying to find your place in a global community.

    You donтАЩt always need someone to give you an opportunity.

    Sometimes you just need someone to make you believe that you are allowed to try.

    IтАЩve been fortunate to have people do that for me.

    From contributing to building

    By my second year, I started wanting to build things of my own within the WordPress ecosystem.

    I volunteered and led the marketing team alongside Emma Young at WordCamp Asia 2025 in Manila.

    I started building plugins of my own, with contributions and support from Harish, Bhargav, Makarand Mane, Hitanshu Sahu, and Sajid Ansari.

    The first was QuoteFrameShare.

    It lets people create and share customizable blockquotes in WordPress.

    That project was particularly meaningful to me because writing and poetry have always been a part of who I am. Something that started with me writing technology tutorials for fellow engineering students had now come full circle into something I was building for writers, poets, and storytellers.

    The second was Contributor Photo Gallery.

    It helps WordPress contributors display their WordPress.org photo contributions as a portfolio without needing to write code.

    That one came from another part of my journey: photography and the WordPress Photo Directory.

    I liked that both projects solved relatively simple problems, but for communities and people I actually cared about.

    I wasnтАЩt just building a plugin because I could.

    I was building something because I had an idea and thought it could be useful to someone else.

    Not everything went smoothly

    My WordPress journey hasnтАЩt been a straight line upward.

    There was a period when I became so enthusiastic about contributing that I started trying to do everything.

    Every team.

    Every opportunity.

    Every event.

    Every possible contribution.

    I was so focused on proving that I could contribute that I wasnтАЩt paying enough attention to everything else in my life.

    Eventually, I burned out.

    I also learned that community work has its own challenges. Not every experience was positive, and there were moments when I felt overlooked, misunderstood, or discouraged.

    Those experiences were difficult, but they also forced me to think about what I actually wanted from contribution.

    I realized that I didnтАЩt want to spend my time trying to prove that I belonged.

    I wanted to contribute because I cared about the project and the people in it.

    That changed how I look at contribution today.

    I learned that I didnтАЩt need to be everywhere, collect every badge, or chase the biggest contribution count to prove that I cared.

    I needed to find a way of contributing that I could actually sustain.

    I also realized I didnтАЩt need to sacrifice my health, livelihood, or peace of mind to prove that I cared.

    If you have one hour a week, contribute that hour.

    If you have more time, great.

    But contribution should be sustainable.

    The support that I will never forget

    One of the reasons I can talk about the difficult parts honestly is that the positive side of this community has been very real for me too.

    People have supported me in ways they didnтАЩt have to.

    The help I received to attend my first WordCamp is one example.

    Katie at Barn2 later sponsored a couple of my WordCamp trips through the companyтАЩs events budget. Makarand nominated me for the Yoast Care Fund, which I was fortunate enough to receive.

    The WP Open Community Collective also supported me through a Contributor Day Lead Sponsorship sponsored by GoDaddy.

    And there were people who helped in ways that werenтАЩt financial at all.

    People gave me their time.

    They answered questions.

    They recommended me.

    They encouraged me when I was uncertain.

    Those things can be easy to overlook when you are talking about contribution numbers, but for me, they are the real story.

    Because behind every contribution is usually a person.

    And behind my contributions are a lot of people who helped me get there.

    What WordPress gave me

    When I look back at the person who started writing technology tutorials for fellow engineering students, I donтАЩt think he would have imagined any of this.

    I didnтАЩt have a conventional path into technology.

    I didnтАЩt study computer science.

    I learned WordPress by building things, breaking things, and figuring them out.

    And somehow, that was enough to get started.

    WordPress helped me develop skills in technology, content, SEO, marketing, product building, and community.

    It gave me opportunities to work with people around the world.

    It took me to WordCamps that I once couldnтАЩt afford to attend.

    It helped me build open-source products.

    But those arenтАЩt the things I value most.

    The biggest thing WordPress gave me was people.

    ThatтАЩs why the word тАШbelongingтАЩ feels more appropriate to me than тАШsuccess.тАЩ

    I came to WordPress to build websites.

    Somewhere along the way, WordPress helped me build a community around me.

    I am still figuring it out

    I still donтАЩt know exactly where WordPress will take me.

    I want to keep building products.

    I want to grow further in the marketing and product side of my career.

    I want to explore more around partnerships and community.

    And one day, IтАЩd love to co-lead a WordPress release.

    But I donтАЩt want to chase these things just for a title or a badge.

    I want to build things that are genuinely useful.

    I want to become better at what I do.

    I want to help people who are where I was a few years ago.

    And I want to be the kind of person who, when someone remembers their first steps into WordPress, they can say: тАЬSatya helped me get started.тАЭ

    That would mean more to me than any badge.

    Because thatтАЩs what happened to me.

    People helped me get started.

    People made space for me.

    People encouraged me.

    People believed I could contribute before I was completely sure myself.

    So if someone reading this is just starting their WordPress journey, my advice is simple:

    Start small. Ask questions. Find something you enjoy. Contribute consistently, but within your capacity.

    You donтАЩt need to have everything figured out before you begin.

    I certainly didnтАЩt.

    I started writing because I wanted to make complicated things easier for my classmates.

    I started blogging because I was curious about technology.

    I started using WordPress because my brother showed me what was possible.

    I kept learning because there was always something new to discover.

    And eventually, I started contributing because I wanted to give something back.

    But somewhere along the way, something else happened.

    I found people.

    I found opportunities.

    I found a community.

    And I found a place where I could keep learning, contributing, and becoming a little better than I was before.

    I came to WordPress to build websites.

    Somewhere along the way, WordPress helped me build a community around me.

    And maybe thatтАЩs what this journey has really been about.

    From blogging to belonging.

    El Seminario de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil reclama la gesti├│n de la Casa del Cuento de Guadalajara con 168 actividades anuales

    El Seminario de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil de Guadalajara (SLIJ) ha remitido al Ayuntamiento un proyecto integral para asumir la puesta en marcha y la gesti├│n directa de la Casa del Cuento, en el que plantea desarrollar 168 actividades durante 2027 para transformar el inmueble en un foco cultural y de atracci├│n tur├нstica permanente. La propuesta de la entidad surge tras la reuni├│n mantenida el pasado 29 de julio con la alcaldesa de Guadalajara y el concejal de Cultura, convocada a ra├нz de conocerse la intenci├│n municipal de explorar una licitaci├│n privada para el equipamiento. El informe t├йcnico, entregado a la Alcald├нa el 21 de septiembre, contempla un presupuesto anual de funcionamiento de 340.050 euros y la contrataci├│n de cuatro profesionales a jornada completa para dinamizar el espacio, apoyados por los servicios municipales ordinarios de conserjer├нa, mantenimiento y limpieza.

    El Seminario de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil reclama la gesti├│n de la Casa del Cuento de Guadalajara con 168 actividades anuales

    El documento presentado por el SLIJ recuerda que el proyecto con el que el consistorio obtuvo alrededor de 1,8 millones de euros de fondos europeos para rehabilitar el edificio contemplaba expresamente al Seminario y al Marat├│n de los Cuentos como agentes implicados. La entidad advierte de que el expediente de subvenci├│n vinculaba la inversi├│n a unos fines muy definidos: sede de la Red Europea de Lugares y Ciudades del Cuento, centro de investigaci├│n y museo de la narraci├│n oral. La programaci├│n planteada busca desestacionalizar el turismo hacia la capital alcarre├▒a durante todo el a├▒o, con 60 sesiones de fin de semana para p├║blico familiar y adulto, ciclos en centros escolares, talleres en barrios, narraciones en autobuses urbanos y la custodia del archivo documental acumulado a lo largo de las 35 ediciones del Marat├│n.

    La transformaci├│n de la hist├│rica casa del pintor Carlos Santiesteban en la calle Teniente Figueroa en la futura Casa del Cuento representa una de las intervenciones patrimoniales m├бs relevantes del casco hist├│rico de Guadalajara, financiada a trav├йs del Plan de Sostenibilidad Tur├нstica en Destino. Durante d├йcadas, la proyecci├│n internacional de Guadalajara como Ciudad de los Cuentos se ha articulado desde el Palacio del Infantado de la mano del tejido asociativo local. La apertura de este nuevo centro abre ahora un debate clave sobre su modelo de gesti├│n, donde la continuidad de los compromisos adquiridos con la Uni├│n Europea y la conservaci├│n del archivo hist├│rico de la narraci├│n oral resultar├бn determinantes para consolidar la marca cultural de la ciudad.

  • OpenStation Blog: WordPress Has Been Missing This for 15 Years

    OpenStation Blog: WordPress Has Been Missing This for 15 Years

    tl;dr:

    15 years stuck in the same wp-admin, why donтАЩt you try in playground the new wp-admin experience?

    WordPress has spent the last fifteen years becoming capable of doing almost everything, yet somehow we have continued interacting with wp-admin in fundamentally the same way: click somewhere, load another screen, go back, open another tab because you do not want to lose the previous one, and after a while end up with ten different WordPress tabs scattered across your browser.

    I find it quite funny that we all accepted this as completely normal.

    Today WordPress is used to run stores, publications, membership sites, communities, LMS platforms, agencies and entire businesses. We have plugins that are effectively full applications, incredibly complex editing experiences, analytics, forms, CRM systems, media tools, commerce, automation and thousands of other things living inside the same installation. Yet the interface connecting all of them still assumes that, most of the time, you want to look at one thing at once.

    And when you donтАЩt, the browser has to solve the problem for us.

    Browser tabs have essentially become the window manager of WordPress.

    That is one of the ideas that eventually led us to OpenStation.

    Why donтАЩt we have windows?

    It sounds ridiculously obvious when you phrase it like that, but that is exactly why I find the question interesting.

    On a normal computer I can have my editor open next to a browser, keep a terminal in the background, drag files around, minimize something I want to return to later, or simply arrange my workspace around whatever I am doing at that moment. Nobody thinks about this as a feature anymore because it is just how computers work.

    Then we open WordPress and suddenly that whole model disappears.

    If I am editing a post and need something from the Media Library, I navigate away or open another tab. If I am checking an order while editing a product, another tab. If I want to compare two posts, another tab. If I am configuring something and need to check how another part of the site is set up, another tab.

    There is nothing technically wrong with that, of course, and it has worked for years, but after building and using OpenStation every day I started noticing how much context we constantly throw away simply because wp-admin was designed around pages rather than workspaces.

    That distinction matters much more today than it probably did fifteen years ago.

    WordPress quietly became something much bigger

    I keep describing WordPress as the operating system of the web, and obviously I do not mean that literally. What I mean is that WordPress has gradually accumulated many of the characteristics you would expect from a platform where applications live.

    Plugins install capabilities into it. Users have identities and permissions. Applications share data. We have APIs, scheduled processes, notifications, media, editors, databases and an enormous ecosystem of software that knows how to work with the same underlying environment.

    The strange part is that the interface never fully made the same transition.

    We kept adding more applications to WordPress, but we continued presenting them largely as destinations in a menu.

    OpenStation started from a very simple thought: what happens if, instead of redesigning every individual wp-admin page again, we change the environment in which those pages live?

    That immediately opens a much larger set of possibilities.

    A post editor does not need to replace your media library on screen. A WooCommerce order does not need to replace the product you were editing. A plugin screen does not necessarily need to occupy the entire browser just because you clicked its menu item.

    They can simply be windows.

    You can move them, resize them, minimize them, keep several of them open, organise them across different desktops and return to exactly what you were doing without recreating the context again.

    The funny thing is that none of this feels particularly futuristic. Quite the opposite. We have been using computers this way for decades.

    We just somehow never brought that interaction model into wp-admin.

    The interesting part is not actually the windows

    The windows are what people notice first because they are visual, but I think the more important idea is what happens once WordPress stops assuming that navigation must destroy context.

    Suddenly the admin becomes a workspace.

    You can have the Media Library next to the editor instead of travelling between them. You can keep an order visible while checking something else. You can open notes or widgets without abandoning your current task. Applications can coexist on the same desktop and eventually interact with each other in ways that become much harder when everything is isolated in separate browser tabs.

    This is also where things like drag and drop become much more interesting.

    If two applications are part of the same environment, moving an image, a product, a post or another WordPress entity between them can become an actual interaction instead of a sequence of copy, navigate, search, paste and navigate back.

    And once you start thinking about WordPress this way, a lot of things that initially looked like unrelated OpenStation features start making sense together: windows, the dock, multiple desktops, widgets, the command palette and applications are all different pieces of the same idea.

    The goal is not to decorate wp-admin until it looks like a desktop operating system. The goal is to make working in WordPress feel less like navigating a website and more like working inside an environment.

    We donтАЩt need to replace wp-admin to do this

    This is probably the part I like the most about the approach.

    WordPress already has an enormous ecosystem and rebuilding everything would be both unrealistic and, in my opinion, the wrong problem to solve. There are thousands of admin interfaces that already work, plugins developers have spent years building, and workflows users already understand.

    OpenStation can sit on top of that rather than asking the ecosystem to start again.

    The existing WordPress admin can continue being WordPress. Existing plugins can continue exposing their interfaces. What changes is how those interfaces are presented and how you move between them.

    In some ways, I think that is much more interesting than simply designing another admin UI.

    We are not trying to decide what every WordPress application should look like. We are trying to give those applications a better place to live.

    And once you have that place, building actual OpenStation-native applications becomes possible as well. We have already been experimenting with things like a photo editor, project management tools and forms, but what excites me is not any individual application. It is the idea that WordPress can host an entire collection of tools that feel like they belong to the same workspace instead of a collection of isolated screens connected by a sidebar.

    So why did it take fifteen years?

    Probably because there was never a single moment where the old model stopped working.

    WordPress evolved gradually. A new menu here, another plugin there, a more sophisticated editor, WooCommerce, custom post types, page builders, analytics, SEO tools and so on. Each addition fitted reasonably well into what already existed, so there was never an obvious reason to stop and question the basic interaction model.

    But those small changes accumulated.

    The WordPress of today asks considerably more from wp-admin than the WordPress of fifteen years ago did, and I think that eventually creates an opportunity to revisit assumptions that once seemed completely reasonable.

    The assumption we are questioning with OpenStation is a very simple one:

    Why should opening something in WordPress mean leaving everything else behind?

    After spending months working this way, I now notice it every time I go back to the traditional flow. I open something, realise I need another part of WordPress, create another browser tab and immediately think: why am I doing this outside WordPress when WordPress itself could manage the workspace?

    That is probably the best way I can explain what we are building.

    WordPress has had applications for a very long time.

    Perhaps what it has been missing all these years is somewhere for those applications to actually live together.

    By the way, donтАЩt forget you can always try OpenStation without even installing it in your site, using WordPress playgrounds
