The "podcast:chat" Specification

Version 1.0 by Dave Jones - 2022.04.10

Purpose

The <podcast:chat> tag allows a podcaster to attach information to either the channel or an item about where the "official" chat for either the podcast or a specific episode is to be found. Just like <podcast:socialInteract> functions for social media, the chat tag will function for ephemeral chat. There are many protocols in use across the internet for chat based communication. This tag is meant to be flexible enough to adapt to whichever protocol the podcaster wants to use.

This tag can exist at the channel or item level. It's presence at a particular level governs how it should be treated. If found at the item level, this should be treated as the information for that specific episode, overriding what is at the channel level. If this tag is found at the channel level, it would be considered the chat for the entire podcast and is recommended to be an "always on" chat room experience.

If a podcast has an "always on" style chat service it is recommended to link that at the channel level and do not use the <podcast:chat> tag at the item level.
