It has to be an open spec, not 'the Podcast Index thing'

it's got to also be something that is not that is not controlled by any one person.

Summary
Whatever fixes podcasting's problems has to touch everyone in the chain from listener to creator, and it can't be controlled by any one party. Anyone should be able to drop it onto their own system. The Index will run its piece, but if it's seen as 'just the Podcast Index thing' it won't last; only an open spec survives.

It's an old, it's got to be an open spec, it's got to be because that's the only way I'll survive.
