# Free Culture Podcasts
## History
The project dates back to 2013 when the idea of keeping a list of Linux,
Making, Hacking and other technical podcasts was suggested. Various attempts
to build such a system were made, culminating in a Perl script called
`feedWatcher` which maintained a SQLite database of podcast feeds.
For the FOSDEM meeting of 2020 a table was requested to represent as many of
the Free Culture podcasts whose details could be collected. The name *Free
Culture Podcasts* was used, a website created
(<https://freeculturepodcasts.org>) and `feedWatcher` enhance to generate the
HTML to populate it.
