Wikipedia Weekly is the podcast that provides an informative dose of audio information regarding Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation and our fellow projects for the community of wikimedians. Its off-wiki homepage was www.wikipediaweekly.org (this is done due to RSS limitations in MediaWiki).
As of March 2020, the podcast has been revived mostly as a streaming video community, organized on meta, at m:Wikipedia Weekly Network, with a variety of content from different language communities.
It's an irony, because we're all so unbelievably verbal and we write so much that we can't communicate with each other... So it becomes a challenge to find a way that we can streamline communication.
In fact I'm very excited about this podcast as one of those tools. If this podcast is entertaining and lots of people in the entire community, internationally and in many different projects listen to this, it gives us a central place to communicate news in an entertaining way. I think that's kind of cool."
This is our get listener campaign. The best podcast in the world is useless unless people download and listen to it. The role of this subproject is to get listeners by promoting the hell out of it.
We're listed on iTunes and I've submitted to directories but we need publicity... badly.
Add your name here if you want to be on a podcast or two. Then, please join the Skype chat group so we can see who is available when we are able to record:

Privatemusings (talk) 04:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC) - would be more than happy to - plus I might sound less blithering in experienced company![reply]
Jonathan 16:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC) I'd like to give it a try.[reply]
Pete Forsyth -- I'd like to be on, especially something about WikiProjects, off-wiki collaboration for the betterment of Wikipedia, etc. Any topic would do, but that would be my preference. -Pete (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moni3 - I tripped over this page somehow. If you're interested in input from an editor who expanded a topic at the same time it made international news, that was quite an interesting experience. Or an editor who holistically pursues topics based on passion, let me know.
Maury Markowitz (talk), count me in for episodes on UI and other issues about retaining editors.
Punk Boi 8. I might one day - I listen to the 'cast, and think it could be fun (and different) to give a youthful view on issues. GMT+10 timezone (GMT+11 during Australian Daylight Saving). -- Punk Boi 8 talk 07:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ainali, it would be fun to chip in with my two öre.
I'd enjoy being interviewed the recent implementation of a content filter for WikiMedia that doesn't violate WP:NOTCENSORED.
