+# 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.
