Popular podcast platform Pocket Casts has released its mobile clients under an open source licence. WordPress parent company Automattic purchased Pocket Casts in July 2018, after it was purchased by a group of public radio companies, including NPR, in 2018.

Pocket Casts is one of the most popular “podcatcher” apps outside of the big tech ecosystems of Google, Apple, and Spotify, allowing users to search and subscribe to podcasts for free while also offering premium features like desktop apps for a fee. Given that Automattic founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg is a huge proponent of open source — and WordPress is one of the top open source projects on the planet — it should come as no surprise that Automattic has chosen to push the Pocket Casts app code onto GitHub.
