The Open Web is only as strong as the people behind it. OpenChannels FM exists to give those people a voice and an audience. We’re here for the builders, developers, agencies, and innovators who are actively shaping what the web becomes next.
We’re independent, which means the conversations here aren’t filtered through a corporate agenda. Just honest dialogue with the people doing the actual work of keeping the web open, interoperable, and worth fighting for.
The History of Open Channels FM
What better way to tell our 8+ year story than to have our own changelog.
Our Mission
OpenChannels FM exists to create thoughtful, human conversations about the open web and open source. We bring together builders, creators, and community voices to share experiences, lessons, and perspectives that help people learn, reflect, and connect. Our focus is on clarity over noise and conversations that remain meaningful long after they’re published.
