#activitypub It seems like we will need to define a Podcast ActivityStreams object type. I’ve been trying to see if we can just transmute a podcast into an Audio or Video object type. But the loss of fidelity is so high. I think a dedicated object type is going to be pretty necessary.
That would allow bringing in the properties needed for both podcast apps and Fediverse apps to treat them the same way.
An example would be the transcript uri. Where does that go? It doesn’t fit into a Document or any of its sub-types cleanly. There will be many such properties.
The existing types are probably fine for most of the subclasses we need. So, the transcript property can just reference an Attachment object or set of Attachments if multiple.
The Podcast object itself can subclass Object of course, and then perhaps things like Podroll can just be a collection of Podcast objects since each will contain a guid and feedUrl.
