podcasting 2.0 for October 21 2022, episode 107 It's plenty
for developers. Well, hello, everybody, welcome once again to
the official board meeting of podcasting. 2.0 everything going
on with now and the future now and the future future of
podcasting, as because this is where it all happens, where the
directors come together and discuss what's happening in
podcasts. index.org the name space and of course, the
creative genius of podcast index dot social. And I'm Adam curry
here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in an Alabama with
a promise to keep us on the namespace rails today. Say hello
to my friend on the other end, Mr. Dave Jones.
I feel like I'm gonna have a lock up today. I feel like I'm
gonna have a boot. That's gonna happen. I rebooted before the
show. And everything is Yeah, everything is five by five. I'm
in the pipe. But But I have this sneaking suspicion. I have a I
have a a what would you call that? Like? What is that where
you look at superstition reminisce from and yes, I'm
premonition. lysing, that I'm going to have a boot.
You know, in the, in the old country we say the Schumacher
scheme that I hate high school now. I said that this morning?
Well, you basically just did because the shoemakers children
have no shoes is what it No.
I sit in the bathroom, though, when I was like after my first
cup of coffee.
So I mean, I just want to point out that you know you as a guy
who actually keeps systems running professionally. I mean,
you've you've let this particular machine just mess
with you for months. Is there anything we want to talk about
something? Show me where on the screen that computer hurt you
today.
This this. It's after my I have two philosophies with that with
there's two competing philosophies hopefully within
the mind of every IT admin. There are two competing
priorities priority number one is, don't is don't let things
get too far behind. You must you need to stay up to date so that
you can get patches and stay current with you know, fixes and
improvements and security patches and that kind of thing.
Priority number two is never changed something that is that
is working.
Yes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yeah, that I mean, it's so I am firmly between a rock and a hard
place with this computer. When it's working. It's exact, it's
great. And see this is all plays into the unreal because this is
also my Umbral and so
this is why it's a problem. Yeah, you should really separate
those two that's that's the issue.
Yeah, don't have separation, proper separation of concerns.
And so it's bugging me now.
Now this is this is a very bad idea. You know, that laptop, the
Surface Pro six that I finally got the tumble working on fine.
I mean, that one actually upgraded 2.5 beautifully. I just
haven't touched it. I haven't breathed around it. I tiptoe
past it. And it's been I'm gonna I'm gonna knock on wood right
now, because it's been up for months.
Now he just screwed it. Why did you even say this?
I'm awful. I like running with scissors.
You were firmly doing this and doing that. Exactly. I mean,
like, in 100 different ways. We're running with scissors. I
live updated the API this morning with a cool with a new
property. There's no production. But by the way, there's no
there's no difference between production and development
environments with podcast index. There. It's all production, all
production
there. In fact, if you do a pull request, it just goes live.
Don't even worry about it. Boom.
Somebody said, you know, people will make comments and stuff
like Spurlock did just was like, wow, that's fast. Like, yeah,
there's a reason I didn't test it. I did actually test it.
What actually was this? What was this update to the API is
returning
the podcast Gu ID in the search results now, which I didn't
realize it wasn't doing
that which is critical for OC three.
I guess I'm not sure what he's doing over there. I guess he's
rolling things up into a GUID.
It's so funny, because because I also don't really know what he's
doing. But I feel good contributing my data twice a
week.
I feel so I feel very out of the loop this week. It's been tied
up with a lot of personal stuff and the job you know, we hire so
I hired a new guy, a third IT guy to help me at the office and
event like long term, it's going to be great. He's going to work
out just fine and it's going to take a lot of stress and
workload. You
have to shape him and mold him in your image.
Yes, that's the hard part is the have, you know the weeks and
weeks of training that has to happen? So that's that's been
chewing up a lot of time. My son moves out tomorrow. He's moving
out on his own.
Oh, and he's 18 is He? Is he working or going to school?
Both working and going to school? Good boy. Good line.
Yeah. No more. No more motors welding program,
no more. Cool. co2 Mainly are all kinds of welding.
He's doing every, every time he's doing stick. TIG TIG pipe
welding.
Can you get to get a hold of a thermal lance for me? I have
some ideas. What is the light you can cut through the safe?
Oh, plasma cutter or whatever. One of
those. If there's one in the shop, just let me know.
Yeah, it is bittersweet. Steven. You're right. Yeah. A bit very
bittersweet. I've been I've been we've been hanging out a lot. We
haven't we? We hung out it and you get my clips by the way. I
did. Of course. Yeah. Okay, so we we had a Me, me and my son
went to the movies last night. We just been hanging out a lot
and getting getting some time in and stuff before he moves out.
And so we went to the movies. In the theater, they have this
thing called it's a pretzel. It's like a giant pretzel. It's
called the Bavarian legend. The greatest name ever forever for a
pretzel. This thing. Okay. Get there's a picture of it. In the
clips. If
you know you know me. I don't look at stuff like that. You
don't let me Okay, beforehand. Legend. I see the title. Yeah.
Okay. Bring it up. Oh, my goodness.
It's one and a half pounds of pretzel.
They don't even know what a pretzel is in Germany. They've
never even heard of a pretzel
is one and a half pounds. It also has 1940 calories. And 339
carbs.
Oh my goodness. I'm going to put it in the show notes. So people
get that your is that your dog? growling?
Oh, yeah. Actually, Hang on. Let me get let me I will return a
very
legend. This is too good. Is a beautiful piece of pretzel work.
Very, very professional.
That didn't know you can hear that. Hear what I can barely
hear the
dog. I'm used to because usually it's my dog. And we're looking
like she's not even here. So you've tuned in like, Yeah,
well, she's she's an early warning defense system.
I let him out without any consideration whether there's
chickens loose out there. So and it's their own. They're all
they're all on their own. They can't figure it out.
So you know, besides the fact that you know, of course it's
bittersweet. Your son's leaving the house. He's flying the coop
so to speak. Now the the the real downside is? It's uneven.
It's two chicks against you.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, this this is this is that just means Dave
gets more alone time.
Y'all want to go shopping together?
All right. See you guys later. Yeah, very
misogynist of us. I don't know about you feels kind of good to
finally be able to talk about pocket Pocket Casts being open
source.
Yeah, that was killing me. I wanted to tell about 25 people,
but I cannot say a word. So and
I think this was probably, you know, a well kept a well known
secret in the last month or two. But we had I had a chat with
Matt, what was it? Like, three, four months ago?
Yeah, yes. Yeah, something like that.
And, and then he connected us with the whole team there. And
we had a nice chat with them. And I mean, you want to me, what
was interesting is that, not only Well, first of all, that's
when they say, you know, it's not public yet, but we're going
to open source it. So that's what we need to do first. And
then they were like, I mean, Matt was like, How can we not be
all in on this? And then the team itself was like, Yeah, we
love all the extra extra features and stuff. And but
there's value for value that we're really drawn to that.
That's what took us both fast surprises that we were, we
always I guess it's just the nature of people who believe in
you believe in the utility of credit of crypto or digital
currencies, is that, you know, you expect pushback from
everybody all the time. And so you always kind of tiptoe into
it, you're like, you know, there's this, there's this way
you can you know, we also have this other thing, whereas this
way you can do electronic payments, small small payments
to him for you know, and you expect it's like now, we're not
interested in that, you know, but they were like, Yeah, that's
cool. Tell me more about that.
We actually left that, as usual to the end, like yeah, we'll
talk about that later. And then bring that forward. What was
that?
Yeah, they're like, Well, no, that sounds great. But tell me
more about this Griffin, you know, this Bitcoin thing. It's
like okay,
now I know Sure, I know you've been busy. So I don't even get
an opportunity to look, I certainly haven't. But I've been
reading some of the reports. So from what I understand the open
source, open source the the code for the app, but that the app
relies, of course, I think, like almost everybody's app on the
back end. And the backend consists of their database. It
consists of their user database, and I'm sure some kind of, you
know, system where user data is stored is now is this something?
What is the intent of this? If it doesn't have kind of a
description of what these I guess API calls do? And is that
replicable? Is that you know what I mean, it's like, it's a
little confusing to me, I guess I didn't really consider it.
Yeah, I've been keeping I haven't been interacting much on
the social this way. But I have been best doesn't mean keeping
track of everything. And what what it looks like is they
released the source code for the Android app and the iOS app. So
that's what their main release was, which is great. And I think
Mitch was saying, Well, you know, they don't they didn't
release the code for the API, the website, the desktop
product. And so it's not a complete open sourcing of
everything it's in I have to, I don't know what they're gonna
do. But I mean, there, this is WordPress, they, they were they
open source everything. So I have to think that eventually,
over time, they will open source it, but at the same time, I
mean, wordpress.com, like they're still there. Their
official hosting platform? I don't think that is open source.
I think it's just the community product. That is WordPress.
That's
right, or you can run a WordPress standalone, you can
fire up this app, you can't
write Yes. So you'd have to have some sort of back end that you
wrote yourself at home. I mean, so with stuff like this, I
wouldn't expect that people would just make a clone of
Pocket Casts. Maybe I'm wrong. I mean, I just, I can just speak
for myself, if I was going to do something with this code. I
can't imagine that I would just like rebrand this and sort of
white label this and read and compile it and go, I feel like
what the benefit of this thing is, is seeing what is getting
pulling code out, in being able to like, fast track your own app
with some stuff that you're struggling with pulling this
code in. I feel like it's more of a pure open source play in
the in that sense, rather than, like, Okay, here's a, here's
this app that everybody can just kind of put their own logo on
and read, compile.
So here's my thinking about it. Depending on, you know, what
their system does, it seems perhaps worthwhile if there's
this. Yeah. And there's more than one. But this is a you
know, a lot of hands have been on this app. i A lot of people
really like it. They're kind of if if there was a way to say,
Okay, you you, whatever, was connected to Pocket Cast HQ.
Now, connect that to your own server. And here's the index
part. Obviously, the a lot of those calls, probably we have
already is that Then something that can be used as it as like a
template that that actually can let people just put their logo
on it? What's I'm not necessarily against
as possible. I mean, the one thing I don't know, because I
have not looked at the code is, I don't know how much of this is
legacy code
might be a mess. Who knows? That's what I
was thinking. It really could be a mess. I mean, if you've had,
if they've been pulling forward code for how long has Pocket
Casts been around 10 years, that's
a lot of different hands. That's the thing. Lots of
different people there might be like, on the iOS side, there can
be tons of Objective C code still in there. For things like
old classes that they never really touch. It's like, okay,
this thing just works. And we don't, I mean, we're not going
to go back and rewrite this in Swift. There could be this could
be a mishmash of all kinds, there can be C code in there.
All kinds of things. I don't I don't know. You know, as a
matter of fact, it just
seemed like the like the overall messaging was, you know, this is
a great way for people to help with bugs and request features,
which I think arguably, that's, you know, I think they've got a
lot of people helping with that a lot of people who are very
dedicated to the app. Now, do they charge for a premium
experience, or is it free all the way around?
Yeesh I don't know. I hope I hope they charge. I don't know.
I don't actually know. You I don't either.
Pocket Casts iOS, I'm just looking at the iOS thing because
I don't I don't know anything about about and the Android
side. There is a little bit of Objective C in there. Oh, 97% of
it is swift. So that's good. Yeah,
they have Pocket Casts plus. Okay, there you go. That's
there. When do you get from Pocket cash plus?
Yeah. So it looks like a lot of their objective stays see stuff
is is it's just utility code. It's chapter reader. media
metadata. Watch app extension. Yeah, like, this looks like a
relatively well kept code base. Like it's pretty modern. It
seems. Yeah.
$1 a month. 99 cents?
No, I wish people would charge more.
Yeah. Anyway, okay. Well, good. Yeah. So we're very happy. And
I'm gonna do I'm gonna do I'm gonna circle back, I'm gonna
circle back with Matt and say, Hey, got a pin in it. Hey, man,
congratulations. Great release. Now, what's the word?
Johannesburg?
Well, I think the, I think, yeah, I think it's time to, to
pick them up and see what's going on again. Yeah,
I think that's a good idea.
What do you what do you think's gonna happen with this with this
code? I mean, I'm exactly so you gotta you've got to what people
have been wanting for a while is like a real good 2.0 reference
app that has, that has a lot of modern features, combined with a
lot of well established features. So some of the some of
the knock if there is one on 2.0 apps is that quite a few of them
grew grew up that were born as new abs in didn't have as,
especially on the mobile side. So they they're trying, they're
sort of playing catch up with some of the more well
established, like, tried and true things that podcast apps
do. And so they have like new features, but they don't have
one thing, you know, things like pod friend. So I could think I
could see this as being like, a way to just short circuit
shortcut, that whole thing where you go, you go in build this
app, play around with it, begin to see how it's put together. I
guess I could see this and then like you said, attach a attach
the the index on the backside of it. I'm hoping to see right out
the gate, I'm hoping to see pull requests submitted back to them
to have like, me, just does it PR, it has a PR that says Add
cloud chapters.
I think that that's feels like that's what's destined to
happen, because there's not enough people who read like
Pocket Cast, that, that the PRS will be for 2.0 stuff. And I
think that over time, it's going to take a while right that it's
just going to take quite a while before you see that starting to
show up in the in the production version. In the meantime, you
know, there's there's a lot of, I mean, I use all different apps
for different reasons, none of them really has it all. So I
think that if you want to be on the cutting edge, and you want
to have the, you know, the current features and the new
features, kind of always, then, you know, there's many other
alternatives.
So I was really wise of them to not commit to development under
2.0 features until after they open sourced it, because then
that may just save them work.
Well, of course, that's the whole that's the beauty of it.
And you know, all the extra, like, look, they're charging for
all these great features that people like so you know, I don't
even know if those a bit they didn't open source, the Pocket
Cast Plus, there's a lot of features that you get in Pocket
Casts plus, so that's their sauce. And that's kind of how it
should be. And I was like the if if like if cast, thematic had an
android version, I'd be pretty interested. You know, I'm very
interested in the in the actual sound, but of course, that could
never happen because of the iOS libraries, etc. But yeah, I
don't know. I think when I hear people say people say I'm like,
I don't know, a lot. It's very, very personal. I mean, see how
long and how many people were using dog catcher completely
unsupported piece of crap, ultimately, because it just
broke. I broke, I broke it. Well, now at least we broke it.
We broke it. But how many people really like it, and probably
still use it and probably get another app just to listen to
this show? Or whatever. Whatever was breaking it. Yes, sir. Sure.
I really don't know
Somebody on Twitter was dogging out the one of the app
developers in he was like, Yeah, I came from I had to come over
from dogcatcher. I'm like, oh, man, you're talking out and
ya know, I told him pump the brakes, buddy. Yeah, was that
turned out to be okay. And Mitch jumped in. And
it was pod verse yesterday. Yeah,
I was like, Hey, easy, does it pal. But yeah, I don't know.
It's to me, it's, again, it's what what can you create? That
is of value in your in your app. whatever that value is, you got
to remember to find a way to ask people for it. And now I see
very elegant solutions from curio caster and pod verse on
how to support you know, then there's premium versions. And so
you know, there's I think there's, that's where the focus
has to go. I mean, you need to understand the type of person
who uses your app. I mean, someone was asking me the, the
Oh, the meat mafia, we're here. And so you're talking about
stuff. And they say what apps it is, there's so many different
experiences, like there's a huge, blind and poorly sighted
community, who of course is well served by pod vers. Pod verse
right now is this funny guy to mix his like, Hey, why is why
the why is traffic up for pod versus that because people are
interested in open source? And and I've looked around for apps
and found a pod versus maybe, maybe also because I keep
promoting it on no agenda as the app to listen to the show live
with the troll room?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there you go.
Maybe, maybe, maybe. So perhaps the so I'm just saying it's
like, you know, I just don't buy into the apps are behind or
they're immature? Or I think that's an opinion. I still use
curio Castro the most. I don't know why.
No, no, it's the web app. I would never use the term
immature. I think. I think here's, here's the way I see
that, that develop that idea develop is this. People get it
here, here. And here would be the here would be the thing.
Somebody looks at Freedom controller for the first time
sees sees the way that it does RSS feed, news feeds, and says,
Yeah, I really wish this had an inbox view. Right? Like, that's,
that's the type of thing you get, it's like, well, that net
doesn't mean that it's behind, it just means that that's not
what we do. I mean, that's not what I want the product to be.
And so like, there's, there's this idea when the developer has
a vision, when you come into a market, into an existing market,
where there's already a bunch of players that have been doing
things a very similar way, RSS feed readers are a great
example. Things like news, Ben and Feedly. And those kinds of
things. And once upon a time Google Reader, there was a
certain way that those UIs developed, and people, and then
one person would do one thing would add a feature. And then
they would all have to copy it because they need, you know,
they're scared that they're going to be taken away from
where everybody's copying everybody all the time. Isn't
before long, you know, after a decade, you end up with a whole
bunch of apps that look almost the same, really. I mean, they
don't, they'll have slight variation between them. But the
things they emphasize, but for the most part, they all have the
same feature set. So then you have a new thing that comes
along like 2.0, where apps are like, Okay, we're going to
embrace this fully. And we're gonna go we're gonna start an
app, that right out of gate embraces this? Well, they may
not even those developers may not care so much about this,
conforming to the legacy mindset of the legacy milieu of what
these other apps did. So then. So in other people interpret
that as a will, it doesn't it doesn't even do so.
Yes. So case in point. Pod vers de No, I think clips the way pod
verse does their clips, and surfaces them clips of other
shows or shows that you're subscribed to or not subscribed
to. That's not something that you can get an every single
legacy app fountain. I have to say that Tina really got into
the social networking aspect of it. She's like, Oh, yeah. All
right. So she found a clip. It was a simple one because she
found in here you open it up, you get a clip, she found a
clip, he said, who did this clip. Oh, was Chad F. So then
she follows Chad F and now she's like, Oh, this is cool clip from
a different podcast. And then she starts to listen to other
podcasts. I mean, I saw it work. before my very eyes, it's not
for me. You know, because I look at that little alarm bell, and
there's 50 in there and I get anxious and like,
yeah, now add can handle that. That's
like, as long as there's a Clear All button that you know, so of
course I don't use it. Sometimes I'll dive into Explorer. So
that's something very, very different. But yeah. On the
other hand, you know, there's the Android Auto doesn't work,
you know, so, yeah, I think what you said is correct. It doesn't
even do CarPlay. You know, where's that's, that's quite,
that's quite specific, but this functionality is coming up. And
these to me, it's no different than one man rock bands. And
you're gonna have your, your, your core core group, and
they're always going to buy the merch, and they show up for
every single release every single show. And notice the
similarity for the release. You get groupies, but usually pretty
poor quality.
Voice. You get that thing at like, here's an example. sleep
timer. There's a lot of apps. A lot of podcasts apps have
asleep.
Yeah, that was missing from curio caster for a long time.
Yeah,
I don't. I have no earthly desire to ever have that in
half. There's, I'm never gonna go to sleep to a podcast. That's
just not that I would have never even thought to suggest such a
thing. There you go. And then And then other people are like,
Oh, this is a deal breaker. You know, okay, okay.
I'm not really kidding. When I say this. There are software
developers who I follow. I follow them for their art for
their, for their creations. I'm fortunate enough to work with a
bonafide genius. I mean, Van Gogh level, Dave Jones, and Van
Jones. Have done but Alex, but no, but I'm just saying. I still
follow Dave whiners development, even though there's a lot of
issues and a lot of chuckling. But I fall and I think that, you
know, Rock Band. Yeah, I think there's developers who like
Marco, he's also a rockstar in a way. And I hate saying that,
because the next one is ninja and all that bullshit Silicon
Valley talks about developers. But I'm really making the true.
The true comparison. And software developers in fact used
to sell software in little baggies with a disc in there,
very analogous to drugs. But you can also say it was records or
CDs. So getting to know your audience, your people who
feedback your users, you know, you're almost partners, they're
going to help you make the app better, is something that, you
know, I'm sure a lot of people do it just subconsciously makes
kind of sense. But is it? Is it a? Is it just a GitHub feedback
loop? Or is it a real conversation that you're able to
have surrounding the software to get noticed, and I'm saying I
mean, I don't see it any different than a soft than a
podcast product, that relationship and that's going
that ultimately is going to get the value that you just feel you
deserve? Or that you put in to the to the creation, no matter
how the money flows, it will happen if you if you can build
that kind of communication?
Well, I feel like that's probably the same. That really
is the power of open source. When you open and I guess K
Pocket Casts will discover this over time, when you open source
something and that's why I'm addicted. I'm going to use the
word addicted. I think there is a real mindset shift that
happens when people begin to open source things. You do kind
of get addicted to it. Because there's a
it's like, you know what I mean? Like you finally you be like
looking around, you see, no one cares, you take your clothes
off, and then it's like, wow, how come I haven't been doing
this all the time.
And next thing you know, you're in the supermarket at the deli
and you're swinging in the breeze.
Yeah. And the woman Yeah, yeah.
There's a there's a real sort of addictive quality to throwing
things out there and creating a feedback loop. It really isn't
isn't exciting to throw something up on a public repo
and see the comments come back, see people making suggestions,
pull requests, those things are those things are real help and
it makes you feel like it's not just you going in alone and I
and in there it generates excitement about out things.
And this is something I wanted to throw in just before I
forget, and I'm not sure if it belongs here. But I was thinking
about like if the way people can help and participate in invest
in software, I'm just taking this analogy further. And I was
thinking this morning, like, I need to remind people that you
can actually go to some friends and family and say, hey, you
know, I need 1000 bucks to start a podcast, I can buy some gear,
I can get going, do a little bit of marketing, have a website,
get a host, etc. And then you know, I'm from day one, I put
you in 50% of the value split. And then you know, it's all
transparent. And then by that, you know, when you see where you
need to where we need to be, or whatever the number was, then we
reduce that, etc. And it's a really nice way to have people
help you out and get started with an immediate, many
investors love that when they see money coming back
immediately, even if it's the sat at a time. Same Same goes
for software, I feel that you know why if you're doing 4% on
an app, and you need some, some cash to not have to work a
second job, and then you could put an investor into a split
right away. I'm just my mind is just running rampid with ideas
how we can reform the whole the whole way we work and podcasting
2.0 is I think a great example of just that.
You you want to play this this might be appropriate for this
clip. There's this so and in Greece, oh my mind because my
son's moving out into an apartment. This this. I don't
know if you've seen apartments lately, but the rent is
outrageous. $3,000 a month. It's just a starter.
Yeah, here in Birmingham. I mean, like it's, it's no joke,
two grand, this is a small market. So it means two grand
for, you know, for a decent two bedroom. So it's got like, they
got below that but the you know, the the amenities are what
they're selling. It's like there's, there's everything. And
now
you will own nothing. Yeah, in such a
play to get a get rid of this clip.
I saw a leasing offer online, it popped up on the screen for new
apartments near a college campus. And their luxury
apartments there obviously for rich kids to go to school. And
they feature a coffee shop, a rooftop pool, all these e
electronic sports area with all this stuff, and free gaming and
Wi Fi and all these things. And it said podcasts studios,
they've built podcast studios and apartment complex because
the kids all want to do podcasts. They have a selfie
screen, a green screen where you can do all this electronic
stuff. This is what all the kid every bit all the young people
all want to do this. So the running joke and what I do for a
living is there's a million people, there's more than a
million people out there doing podcasts. Everybody's doing it.
You guessed it, it's not very good.
That's funny. I mean, like, it's just I was thinking when you
were talking I'm like, Well, okay, you get the podcast studio
just have a default split in there for the for the for the
apartment complex or something like that, that you get you you
repay yourself for the investment of the of the
technology.
Sadly, all of this is going to come crashing down upon itself.
All these other entities are going to go away. It's going to
be empty, empty racks. People will not there's going to be
rats in the hallway.
My kids can they both work and go to school, but they both have
good jobs for their age. Like they may they both have well
paying jobs, part time jobs that they use to help get them to
sell through school. And if they can't even afford these places,
then it's outrageous. It's not going to last Yeah. Because
nobody nobody can know
that we will we've been through that they're free money is over.
The you know, there's another I've got another clip in here
and I think this may be more. I'd like to maybe get into the
namespace when we'd have to definitely. Okay. So this is
from coder radio, and they were they were talking about some
other things like get hubs copilot feature, which is, which
has been a lot in the news. You know, do you even know what that
is? Oh, no, I don't. Okay, so copilot is a GitHub thing, where
it's sort of like auto complete for entire sections of code.
Okay, it's supposed to be aI driven. And the idea here is
that like, Okay, I look it's like clipping, you know, clip.
Oh, it looks like you're writing an essay.
Alright. Would you like an HTTP request? codeblock. Exactly.
That's
exactly what it is. Exactly. It's it's, it's exactly as clip,
as keeps Clippy for developers. So you can say, you know,
functions base, fetch HTTP, and it's like, oh, boom,
autocomplete. Do you want this? And it gives you a whole
function, this does an HTTP get request. And you're like, okay,
and you hit Tab and you've got a function. So and it's supposed
to be like aI driven. But then what happens is, people start
noticing this code looks really familiar. Of course, they would,
of course, this is gonna happen. And then there's like,
supposedly, the setting in there where you can go in and turn off
certain licensed software, there's a GPO, I guess you can
just set your restrictions of how it filters in certain
situations. You can you auto complete this thing. And it is
exact code out of people's repositories. Like it's just
life and just code
Oh, just pulling it from anywhere that it knows that it
lives inside its repos. And then it just like, boop, autocomplete
that oh, that's,
like identical, like I did this guy shows like screenshots of
like, Hey, here's my matrix function or whatever over here
on the left, and here's what GitHub copilot suggests, and
they look identical.
So here's an open source the code, he's just using GitHub
right? Now, can I just say, Does this surprise anybody, we knew
this would happen. We knew that eventually it would get evil
once it was sold. Hello.
So anyway, they that's the topic they're on. And they get on to
this, this thing of how to how to handle GitHub issues. And,
and I go and just go and play and then we'll comment on
every project is unique. Everybody has different use
cases, because you could argue that also in a free software
project, people open up a lot of bogus PRs, and a lot of bogus
issues that the projects never going to touch. And they pile up
and they pile up and they become overwhelming and demotivating to
the developers, because they have hundreds of open issues
that they're never going to touch, but they don't know what
to do. Like we have a small GitHub for Jupiter broadcasting.
And that's already come up a couple of times, as like, what
do you do with these issues that don't really fit here? They're
not really a problem. They're more of somebody's opinion,
like, what do you do? Do you just close it? Do you do say
thanks for your contribution? Then close it? Do you just let
something come along and clean it up? Like there really is
never a right answer?
Oh, yeah, I know the answer. You just swipe left.
That's it. We have this issue already on the
horse, of course. And I think if we didn't have podcasts index
dot social, I think it would have been a lot worse, a
lot worse. Yeah. And there's 133 issues open in the namespace
now. And he and I want to emphasize the thing that he
said, which is, there's no good answer to what to do with some
of these. There's like, you go back, and then let's just let me
just flip through here and see if I can pick one at random.
Okay, well, here's one for podcast ID feedback from, like
December of 2020. And, or here's one from shared and
subscribable, block lists from Brian of London from December of
2020. I mean, I don't know what to do with this. It's possible
that there may be content in here is useful. But then again,
I'm like, Well, I mean, if nothing has been done with this
in two years, what am I supposed to do with this issue? And the
the point he makes that when new people come to the namespace
repo, and they see 133 open issues, it looks like we're not
doing anything. It looks like progress is not being made,
because there's just this immense amount of open issues.
You know,
I'm not asking your advice. Maybe we ask people to go review
their open issues and prune self prune, maybe rewrite. I mean,
it's going to be a small group, I would say, Now, how many 133?
You said, magic number 133. How many of those are Daniel J.
Lewis? About 100? Daniel J.
Okay, Daniel's a perfect example. Thank you for bringing
him up. I don't I don't know what to do with a lot of his
issues, because they are more like, a lot of them are more
like commentary than they are, like, action items. Right? Some,
some of them are but a lot of times it's like, here's what I
think should be, you know, changed or what?
Well, how are these? I'm sorry, you know, how are these
candidates fries? Can you categorize them? Because if you
look at it, I mean, so their suggestions, you know, gets a
ranking. Probably a low we're ranking their stuff. I mean,
there's obviously there's stuff that that isn't an immediate
benefit to someone or a bug. And bug is, of course, clear what
needs to be done with that and needs to be put in the bug
queue. But can you with GitHub, can you rank that for a view
somehow that we can just find out what needs to be done? We
need a secretary, we need an intern. There we go.
It's yes, we need an intern. I know, I know as I get it, yes.
You have to read the issues. Understand that as keep suit and
like, in the problem is, okay, here's the issue. I don't want
to come across as a dick. You know, I don't want to be like,
Okay, well, I'm closing this is I mean, yeah, well, that wasn't
important. That issue was important to me. I spent
well, then why are you worried? Why are you worried? If people
show up and think that out? They don't respond to anything.
That's people who haven't actually looked. I mean, that
seems to be the core problem. The problem is we look like
we're not responding to what's your taking? Personally, I
think,
maybe me and maybe, like, I don't want to be the the
dictator that's like No, enclose it
now just close it and then sign it as James. Oh,
that's a perfect, that's, that's like a perfect weasel solution
to this problem. I love it.
James do it. Alright. But I understand and I think that
first thing is, everybody can just go take a look and see if
you're open issues are still relevant. If it's really an
issue, has it maybe been hashed out somewhere else? And then
just close it? Close, close your closure stuff?
Okay, that's a good way to have because Helford a round one,
round one. Everybody closed their own stuff. If they're not,
if they're not super proud of it, or if they don't really,
really believe in it strongly. And then I will go through and
make make the aihole sweep in and start cleaning stuff up.
I think that's fair. That's fair.
I mean, like, because they always be reopened, they can
just, you know, they can always be where you guys reopen it, you
can you can petition, you can petition to me or James and say,
hey, you know, I spent two hours on this proposal and I don't you
know, why, why did you close it? And lo, okay, we'll reopen it.
Before we get into the namespace, I have a specific
thing to discuss about pod paying live and the reason codes
and everything. I guess that is kind of namespaces and is the
reason code. Reason code is namespace now,
that's popping. Not namespace. But that's okay. We can bounce
in and out.
Okay, yeah, right now it's confused. Anyway, here's what I
was thinking. So I got this 100%, retro station, and they're
up and streaming. And so now they, you know, they have
probed, actually, that they have special promos, and they have
things that they announce. But they have personalities. And
these personalities start at a certain time during the day. So
let's say they have over a 24 hour period, there's probably
four personalities that do a NEO total of half of that. And what
what they're about to start streaming along with their
stream is metadata. So I was thinking, Is there a way to have
a reason code for a live a live station in this case, where you
can send out an alert when the when the host starts, you know,
so you're already live? I mean, maybe it's just you just ping it
live and say, you know, and you title the episode differently.
You say, Here's Kim wild or whatever, she happens to have a
show on a station. Does that make any sense?
That's a really interesting idea. I like that a lot. So it's
for long running live, where you want to be notified of things
that happen inside that. Yeah.
And interestingly, the same time when you know, so they have
their version of a newsletter is a promo. And I'd be like, this
week, you know, it's what was it? Whose birthday was it? There
was a Darren Darren even played a hole but not anyway, so. So
it's birthday week, and we're gonna play different songs. They
have little promo and so you want that promo? I mean, that
that just goes in and as an episode. And I mean, and so now,
the question is, do you notify people of the promo just in the
regular way the podcast would, which I think is yes. Or do you
also hit the pod ping about that? I mean, that made me too
complicated. But for now. I'm looking to figure out how I can
take metadata because they have no technology. This is just me
help. And I'm out just dreaming shit up because it's cool to do,
right. That's why I want to have extra stuff in in 2.0. So I've
just figured out a way to get this metadata to filter it, and
then have a list of names. So when it pops up, Ben Librans in
the mix, live now, boom, that's when you want to fire off a pod
ping in, you know, new host, or whatever the reason code is
something that maybe, maybe it falls under the same stuff, or
maybe there is a reason to give it a special reason.
Okay, so here's how here's how to approach this from, from an
idea, or, here's, here's the the mental framework to approach
this from a pod ping, in the things that happen within pod
ping, are meant to reflect things that happen in the feed.
So the feed if the feed doesn't change, right, and there
shouldn't be a pod pain in any way. So the the pod ping, pod
ping is supposed to be an alert system that says, hey, an event
just happened in the feed, go check the feed. Right. So if you
that's, this is appropriate, though, if the event that
happened is that the person tag changed from host, Kim wild to
host that Dutch name you said that I can't pronounce. That is
an event. And that could be a reason code, it could be
something as vague as metadata change. Or it could be really
specific, like host host swap or host change or something like
there could be or just person or something. So as long as there
as long as the feed had a change to it. And I would think that in
this in this regard, we would want that to happen. We would
want there to be in the live item, a person tag that has the
current host in it is that as long as there's an event, as
long as the feed changed in some way, yeah, for sure. So my old
pod ping makes sense.
And my ultimate goal with this, of course, is to is to get their
on air talent. And and I think most of them actually do it live
to get them to interact in real time with with booster grams.
I got you, I guess. Okay, so anyway, well, it's the you know,
like, Stephen, use this example of no agenda live stream. As
long you know, it's 24/7. And so there really could be, there
could be a feed for the in a stream. And it could do this
exact same thing. That may be a way to sandbox this,
play around with who I liked that idea. Now you're talking
in the it could be value block updated, there could be a value
block in the live stream that updates in their pod pin goes
out for that along with the person change, or some you know,
like the metadata change. It makes sense, I guess we'll just
have to come around. I don't know on the fly, whether it
makes sense to have just sort of done something that's generic,
like that falls under sort of a vague, this type of thing
updated or to get real specific with a general generally
speaking, it's best to be as vague as possible with these
things. So that you know, like you instead of going down four
levels, you may maybe you stop at two.
All right, well just wanted to throw that out there kind of get
us started.
That's a great idea. I dig that a lot cool. Because you can see
the you can see the usefulness of it. Because if you if you go
out months or however long this this thing takes Can you imagine
that you know live streaming becomes more and more of a thing
within this you're going to run into this issue and there's
going to be things like this where you're going to need to
signal a change midstream. Yeah, dig it as it is great. That's a
great idea.
Okay, so I made a their own chat room.
So when you well what is it IRC or?
Yeah, it's just it's just another room on the on the void
zero dotnet server.
are they interacting with like live are they?
No, I don't think anyone No. Not yet. Like the owner, the guy,
the guy who owns it, he's still his head is still reeling
because I set him up with a with a get Alby. Now, I'm maintaining
their feed just for now because they got nothing, you know. He
wasn't ever expecting to go in this direction have this as some
additional thing. So he's out there, making advertising deals.
And I say hold my beer Hold on a second. Let me just put this in
here and I show him a booster Graham. He says why? So yeah,
that's my list. That's money coming in. Look, I'm just
listening. That's money coming in. He's what? He's already
like, he can't wait to show his investors. Like, yeah, we have
we have revenue.
We have $3
we have revenue. Yeah.
I like it. Okay. Yeah, that's, that's really
neat. The namespace, more namespace or the namespace, see
where it will go with their name, you're in charge of the
name. I said, you keep us on the namespace rails today.
Z. So there's one thing is is speeding up speeding up to the
TX T. Adoption. So I think that if nobody has anything else to
add or or any showstopper ideas or anything like that, I think
we should go ahead and formalize or, excuse me, not formalized.
But finalize, the podcast TX T. Tag is like soon like the like
maybe November the first? Yeah, I'm good with that. Because it's
a simple tag is really not. I mean, it's truly not much to it.
I mean, it's just a text box, essentially. And then there's,
there's already prior art with DNS. So we kind of know how
these sorts of things are supposed to work. And it's been
like in the works for a long time. And we've we've been
talking about it, not necessarily on the GitHub, but
way before it was posted as a proposal, we already sort of
knew what we were, what we were after. And then the other thing
is, like, are early next year, Apple is going to start
recommending officially that people take email addresses out
of their feeds, we really have to have something there sort of
in play kind of quickly. And we already know this, some hosts
are ready to go with this thing. It's like yeah, I'm gonna, you
know, I'm going to support this day one. I mean, as long as
there's nothing no big you know, showstoppers, I think we should
go ahead and try to do is
do we have enough? hosts who are who are going to make this
switch? Because, you know, Apple be damned as far as I'm
concerned. Is it right time for us?
Yeah, I mean, like, Justin, over at transistor, he was like,
Yeah, well, we'll be there day one. Okay, you know, so, so that
anyway, so we have, we have what's, you know, the criteria
that we've got to host this says they're gonna implement. We've
got at least two we have at least one of those. And we have
at least one app that's going to implement it, which is Steven B.
Because he implements everything he's Mikey he's all he's, he's
the he's the guy in the back in my back pocket where I can
always say, oh, yeah, we got we got one app, because there's
always gonna be Steven. And then we got to and we will do it as
well and podcaster Wallet. So like, I feel like we've gotten
broad promise of adoption already.
And just like you can say, Yes, D to B will do you always know
that. That Casta pod will always be their new feature cast a pod
has it cast the pod is like it's like that car with a million
clowns come out of it. You open the door this is features man
puppet boop boop boop boop boop whammy brew
in the reservoir shut the door like three seconds. One another
one pops out one final. I like it. Yeah, this I mean, I think
I'm, I think I'm comfortable. I don't like speeding things and
rushing things like give things time to bake. But at the I think
this one's best was ready.
That's what I've always liked about you, Dave. Nice and slow.
Let's not rush this.
Let's not rush. We have we have our whole lives ahead of us.
Just I mean, I can I can stick a toothpick in this one, and
there's nothing sticking to it.
We're good. Sounds good to me. All right.
All right. The so the other one. I think we just need to get John
Spurlock on to talk about the events tag. I don't want to do
this really without him because I think
no, I think you're right. And we need to schedule for that.
Yeah. Which,
which is my way of saying you're gonna schedule
like, yeah, this I picked it up. I think
we should have our own response natural responsibilities for the
production of the show. It works
out. You deal with meat people.
Let me tell you, the math the meat mafia guys and they say 28
year old man I love these guys this
is the neat mafia exactly who are these people?
It's these these two guys and they were both college athletes
and after college, you know, their bodies start to give up on
them a whole bunch of weird shit and, and literally like
massively weird shit like stomach issues and you know, 10
years of problems and you know, the commercial on TV, we always
see the lady like she's about to go into the lawyer's office
meeting and like, Oops, sorry, I gotta go take shit. Or like, a
singer isn't there to sing, you know, it's like, where is she
and then the bass players like all moods are taken to shit. So
and actually, they presented in in Bluffton, Georgia at that
beef initiative Summit. And their story is, you know, like,
they just, were kind of out of ideas. I'm just gonna go try
this beef pure pure grass fed, and in their case, grass finish.
And within two weeks, they started to heal. And so now, you
know, so now they're on their own kind of mission. They're
also, you know, they're not just about beef, but they're about
healthy living, etc. But it's just, it's these two millennial
guys. And they're, you know, they're, they're figuring it
out. They're doing value for value. They're making a living,
talking about whole food and in heat and natural healing. Sounds
like misinformation? And disinformation, the mafia. Yeah,
for sure. Am three the information Mark,
did we start this thing on time? Or what Brother? Was our timing?
Impeccable for once mine for once.
But what what of a dozen possible things? Are you
referring to?
The index the index? Yeah. And the and the and the streaming
sets, you know, the value for value is like, every single day,
more and more people are starting to see this as the as
an option? And certainly, the index itself, what an what a
valuable piece of work that you've you put together here.
Well, everyone has put together of course,
well, as long as I don't break it with love of dating. We're
good. That's part of the charm. Now that's part of why we're
here. Right in the rocket rod
the right, you know, do you know the end of Dr. Strangelove? Yes.
Run the run the nuke? Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think we just
need to have John on and talk about talk about advance because
I already had some conversations offline about about it. People
have some ideas, people have some concerns. And so like,
rather than try to like, rehash everything here in this slow
motion thing, I'll just, I'll schedule him. And we'll have a
whole episode dedicated to just like hashing out what that would
mean, a whole
episode. Oh, 15 minutes? Come on. We're running the show here.
Okay, we will have will, you can pencil it in and then we'll
we'll send out a pod ping when we switch topics mid show.
This is very, very, I'm very, very curious about the about the
immense thing that'd be that'll be good to dig into. That's
great ideas.
What is live streams? Okay. You were talking about switching
hosts and everything. Could a live stream have chapters? Cloud
chapters?
Yeah, whoa, yeah, you can send metadata. And you can change the
metadata. Like if there's a new song. Yeah, technically, that's
exactly what it is you're sending. You're sending track
data, I think is what it will be called. In this case.
Yeah, I know you're, you're talking about in the mp3 header.
No, no, no, in the life frame there live stream. Yeah, that's
it streaming mp3 chunks is what it is. But what I'm talking
about is, is what I'm talking about is in the chapters cloud,
could it have a cloud chapters file attached to the live
stream, and you're updating the cloud chat the chapters JSON
file.
And the point would be to have I mean, it's already happening
when you you're listening to a stream, the art of the album,
art will change and everything changes. So there's your
mechanism just how do we tie into
the problem? Could be here that that had to look at the spec,
but the problem here can be that the chapters specify an offset.
But what what is what is the point of the chapter because it
won't be for lookup it'll just be to switch something. I
understand well, I'm not sure if if chapters is the right way to
go.
Well, I'm talking about like for for all the things champions do
like image showing an image at a certain moment. Show you know
Showing having a link is all the power of chapters but within a
live stream. Yeah,
I understand I understand.
The issue here is it does specified as offsets, though,
because like the chapters are like, start time. And it's a
number of seconds afters.
What I'm saying is, there's a perfectly functioning system in
place. That works really, really well with live streams. So I
don't see why putting that into a separate chapter file is going
to make it any better, it would still be the same thing.
But whatever, I don't know what you just say so so like if I
want to say if I want to send some. Alright, so let's, let's
say that I'm on pod verse. And I'm listening to this live
stream right now. How is pod verse going to get a chapter
image
by changing the image from a podcast in a live stream
scenario, to get the streamed data that is being sent by the
stream already?
So the street you're saying that, then in the ice cast
server in this, in this scenario, can also send chapter
art?
Yes, a URL, I believe I can want to take a look. Because here I
have, I can even do it. I think I can even do it here. On here,
metadata. Okay, you can do ancy, UTF, eight and that
automatically. So you can send it you send the information to
your encoder, which you are, which you're streaming from, and
then that gets rebroadcast by your server?
How does it broadcast, it was the, it encodes it
in the stream. So the audio was going and a metadata stream, and
it will have a URL for an image art.
Okay, so this is icecast metadata. I think that's for now
playing information.
I think so. Yeah.
Okay. All right. I need to need to look at that. Because I'm
curious, because I think you guys are going to be at your
station info, which also shows up in certain places, including
an IRC channel, by the way. And the metadata? I see.
Because I'm wondering if you can, okay, this may be the ice
cube soup says it can send arbitrary text. So if that if
that arbitrary text can be like a JSON blob or some sort of
schema, ID, metadata structure, then then you could just send
the chapter data in its standard format. Yeah, you could do that
along the stream in Yeah. Okay. So you can just like, you just
have a rolling chapters file, rather than having to specify
one static file that lives somewhere else.
I mean, typically, the way it works, the way that most
encoders work is, and it none of it's applicable for what we're
really doing. But you fire up, you know, you have a playlist of
songs, that's what they think radio is, and and it plays the
song and it takes the mp3 ID three information from the mp3
shoots that through it through the encoded stream, and then it
pops up with a image with with text, album, artists track.
Alright, so that that's a point of research for me then, because
I mean, there, if you can do that, then you can also send
emails and lots of things through that you can listen to
lots of, of, of metadata, structured metadata, for things
like chapters or value blocks, or whatever,
I would not want to get too deep into that at this point. Seeing
as there's really only 10 people doing this, and we have a lot of
other namespace stuff that it may take precedence I'm just
trying to, I'm trying to say is, I don't know if that's super
important. At this juncture, it's good. It's fun to look at,
for sure. It's just like,
I'm not sure what it's I'm not sure. I don't know, I
guess. If I were to prioritize things, I would much rather put
effort into seeing how we can get peer tube to work in apps
and so we can actually get some video going for the live stuff
because that's the audience that's waiting to leave
the video streamers Oh, yeah.
That's, I mean, the YouTube Super Chat. We have it all, but
we don't.
What I need I need, Alex gave me an image of the hive writer or a
Docker image of the hive router, this got the captain proto
socket stuff in it. So as soon as I get a chance, I tried to
work on it yesterday, but it didn't just get caught up. But
as soon as I get a chance, I'm gonna get that working hope
that's, we gotta get that one out the door first because that
one's important. And then then once because that gives us live
reason codes, then then we can move on to something else. But
as on the pod on the pod ping live front, I guess that one
really has to has to happen pretty quickly, right? Yeah,
okay.
I'm just trying to back your way from too much work, brother.
Gatchaman. nerd.
I'm already afraid of the events tag.
Yeah, yeah, that's a scary one. Do we want to say,
Yeah, let's do that. That's a good idea, a value for value
proposition. This podcast is and the entire project. That means
that we ask a simple question. Did you get any value from this
show from what we're talking about, from any of the guests
from any of the information from the entire project? Because of
course, we have servers and stuff that needs to run and his
upgrade needs to grow. Just put that into a number send it to
us? Let us know exactly how valuable you think it is. You
can do that at podcast. index.org. We still do accept
the PayPal fee at Fun coupons. And is our is our QR code
showing up again. That thing is elusive. Let me go on the
website. Yeah, yeah, cuz it was not. No tally. Tally coin is
like I think tally coin might have done something different. I
gotta check around see if that's us or them. Anyway, the way the
way you really want to do it is you want to get an app with a
boost button that I liked the way James positions I think it's
funny look at your app does have a boost button. Oh no. You need
one new podcast. Here's a couple of the boosts that we've been
receiving during the show and just prior some pre boosts.
There was a well as a competition. I'll read them in
reverse order 17,776 from blueberry. Who says it's okay
I'll look like an ass. The apps I do my serious listening on
have got to have lit no question about it in my mind live shows
make up the vast majority of my listening catalogue. I wish more
apps would take lit seriously okay. Then meet his comes in
with 17,777 had to one up blueberry. We encourage this by
the way and there is Dred Scott the Bruce Wayne of podcasting.
2.0 was 17,778 sets joining the one up club and blueberry boo
furry I'm sorry boo flurry. That's his brother came in at
17,778 SATs as well. And there is a brand new one from chimp
13,005 79 eating sushi and boosting live boost boost boost
it's I love it when it's a game boost boosts. 9999 from Burberry
as well, let's see we got we go down the list here. Dred Scott
got us going one time for the one time he says 33,333. Boost
boost Exactly. See servo 3333 boosted from the from the cron
tab. Nice.
Oh, we got it. We got in some week. We we slid up into
somebody's Cron.
We did it's from the boost CLI I had the little logo here. And it
says boosting from the cron tab in parentheses and Friday
October 21 1033 dot o one PDT. 2022 cool.
I like that's like,
that's the subscription.
That's the subscription. Yeah, we we have one subscriber that
we like a lot like sliding up into some nice crontab
sounds dirty? Yeah. Then we have Lyceum with 2222 and a rush
2112. Let me see. This is of course, Martin. Martin
Landeskog. Do you think that the open source version of Pocket
Cast will add podcast 2.0 and value for value features? How do
you think automatic that is linked to WordPress could
support a diverse ecosystem of third party clients? Oh, this is
a quote. Oh, that's interesting. You know, I think I heard this
so apparently they say they had a quote.
They meaning pocket like a Cassie I think automatic. Okay.
They like to support a diverse ecosystem of three Third Party
clients, I'd have to read the whole quote kind of, maybe they
just want people to tie into their back end our podcast index
possible. Possible
open source.
Could be could be anyway. That would be they'll be interesting
to see if that happens. Maybe.
There was a I know they have their own, they have their own
directory and the day was it is the guy's name Phil up in there
who were talking to one, I think his name was Philip, that we
thought we had a call with that day from Pocket Casts.
And here's the Australian guy, wasn't he? Yeah, that was the
original owner. I guess. Maybe not.
I think I think he was co founder. Yeah. We just see.
Yeah, okay. Well, here's here's the quote from what Martin is
talking about. We believe that podcasting cannot cannot and
should not be controlled by Apple and Spotify and instead
support a diverse ecosystem. Oh, clients. Okay.
I stopped. Stop stoking up trouble, Martin.
Yeah, it's all makers roll,
man troublemaker control.
So but when he when we were talking to him that day, he you
know, he was like, you know, yeah, we run he was asking me a
lot of stuff about the index and how we do our directory and that
kind of thing, because they also run a directory. Yeah. And one
of the things we briefly chatted about in he was interested in
working on in the future is, is a way to share on the back end,
you know, share ride day, like we do with Marco. Yeah, exactly.
So that we're not all recreating the wheel independently in five
different silos. Yeah,
we gotta get back. We got to circle back to that.
Yeah, let's do circle back. circle back.
All right. Who else can we thank Dave.
We can thank Marco Arment for a $500 donation that he does every
month with.
Yeah, bolo. Sakala 20 is Blaze only Impala.
Thank you, Marco. Thank you. Yes,
thank you very much. The search endpoint for the Apple mimic API
is is finished in a shot of an email about the other day
because that's part of that fallback mechanism he had in
place. Now he's got it, we've got look up. We've got the
iTunes ID lookup. And we also have the search endpoints. So
those things are for people like Marco, who rely heavily on who
rely exclusively on the Apple API, the iTunes look up API. If
you want to what you can do without having to change any of
your code, you don't have to switch over to use the podcast
index as your as your API back end, what you can do is if you
can remain using Apple, and then you can put us as a fallback,
and you can just basically, if Apple's API goes down, all you
do is change the host name of the URL, query. Everything else
stays the same. And you start getting traffic again. And then
as soon as Apple comes back, online, flip switch, you're
back. You're back on Apple. So that's what that's intended for.
And so now we I think we I think we have most of the coverage
that everybody would need.
How much is Apple going to donate for us having their back
here?
Let's see. Oh, I added it up this morning. It's zero.
Of all the things they could support.
We've got Jennifer never it. I'm gonna say never read instead of
never read to Jennifer. If that's wrong, please let me
know. Jennifer never it says she sent us $17. Again, this was she
sent us money last week. Jennifer appreciate that. And
she says a certain value to y'all. To show my appreciation
is oddly satisfying. Why $17 For the 17 years of joy being a
podcaster has brought me Wow. Again for the thanks again for
the breath for the breathing new life into podcasting. I'm as
excited today as I was back in 2005. When I heard my very first
episode of The Daily source code. Keep on keeping on.
Gee, oh, gee, Jennifer Nice. Wow. Um, thank you. That's
really appreciated. That's very nice.
That's our pay pals for the week. She's been with
us a long time Dave.
She has Jennifer good old Janice remember it? Just like it was
yesterday. Like yesterday. The very first podcast? Yes. Okay,
Auburn Citadel on the boost front. I don't know what's going
on but Auburn Citadel sent us seriously like 1,008,333 said
boosts
Oh, did he have a stuck? boost button?
I don't I don't know. Oh, I don't know, but like, okay,
but certainly not a million. How many if you counted them? All
right.
1-234-567-8910 1112 1314 1516 1718 1920 2122 23 What 2930 3130 330-738-3940 goes
4041 42 4340 440-548-4950 So these are all 8333 says 50 5050
That's 50 So far, so there's another 1-234-567-8910 1112 13
Let me get another teen. Yeah, so 6315 1617 1819 2021 2223 So
63 No. 73 He sent a 73 boost of 8333 That's
584,000 Satoshis
Oh Sakala 20 is Blaze only Impala
I'd say. It looks suspiciously like $100 donation is what I'd
say that is perhaps even t shirt worthy.
I think that he may have been trying to sneak this sneak this
pad this may be Satoshi laundering. He may be sneaking
this past his wife.
We got to KYC Yes, sneaking. Sneaking a pass. Oh, honey, I
just tripped on the boost button. Don't worry. It's only
8000 SATs. Oh, no. No, my fat finger. I did it again. Yes,
it's fine. Which app which app was it?
Till man? Link it back in look, it was fountain. Okay. All
right. Well, I think you know, because Felton doesn't doesn't
do like hold down and it does mega boosts so I'm thinking oh,
I know what this is. He said his is per minute.
Oh goodness.
28333 Because this Yeah, cuz I'm looking at the timestamp minute
30 I mean, our 30 minutes our live
we basically drained drained his wallet after 63 minutes.
Oh, no. Well, maybe Okay. Didn't know that on accident?
No, we'll be happy to send it back. If that was if that was a
an unfortunate user error. But if not, thank you very much. We
appreciate it. But we're happy to send it back.
The cat fell asleep on the key. Anything's possible.
Yeah, no, no, you need to trigger garden these things.

Bucha very sappy, sappy de Bozak since 3333, no note thank you to
Bozak 8334 from mere mortals podcast, everybody chyron
through the fountain app and he says 1300 or 1400 calories a
day. Somebody gets this man's beef
So that is yes, indeed. How's the beef doing? Are you feeling
good?
Oh yeah, I'm doing I'm doing a lot better I'm in than working
out and I'm feeling I can tell I can really feel the benefit of
having high quality protein. Like, in a way that it's, I
can't really describe it. It's just like, I don't. I can feel
that my muscles are getting the things that they need this I
don't have the fatigue is a lot better,
actually. And you feel more caveman ish.
Yes,
right. Am I right? And yeah, and just just keep eating that man.
And we just got some raw milk. Actually, the meat mafia guys
brought a like a two versus a three gallon jug of raw milk.
Goat milk or cow milk
cow mill. Oh, man.
That's all WestEd grass. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And it's, it's from LaGrange, Texas. It was almost like a
milkshake.
Oh, well. So is it the kind whether it is the non non
homogenized where the cream floats to the top and you gotta
shake it straight
from the cow.
Oh, love it straight from that. Yeah. Yeah. They used to we used
to buy raw milk up in Woodinville, which is about 45
minutes north of here. We used to live up there. And we would
buy raw goat's milk. And on these pastured goats, it was
delicious. But they like to get around the raw milk rules. The
very late called Yeah, secret handshake.
Everything they had it labeled that a sticker on everyone that
said, not for human consumption. Oh, of course. Yes. Exactly. God
no, no, I'm buying this for my doll
for the dog. Exactly. For the chickens. The chickens? Yes.
Cast VLAN 3690 Because it's just a boost. Thanks for fixing the
world.
We love just the boost anytime but
mere mortals podcast 12 3453 from chyron. He says as much as
I love Bitcoin and all the amazing work on the tags. The
idea that stuck in my head and made me have some sleepless
nights was V for V. The exact reason I decided to create a
whole show around it. That's right. That's right, we get
value for value podcast. And
we we love that show.
Gene been with some late 1337 sets their cast dramatic and
he's got more coffee. Sorry. Me coffee.com Does subscriptions
and is backed by stripe, assuming I understand things
correctly.
Yes. So I had my meeting with the ibex team. Yeah, love these
guys. So right away, they set me up, you know, so now I have a
right now, I just had the basic system so I can generate a QR
code on chain or lightning it when it's paid, it goes straight
through and goes into the bank account. So that part works
beautifully. Now they are adding the the guess there's a whole
nother piece to it that they have that they now connect to it
where you get the gist encode the just write the URL like you
would a Pay Pal link. So that that's gonna work and, and
lightning address. So you know, yeah. And,
well, the wood well known thing,
the dot well known thing, and they totally like keys and
totally, they're gonna do it all. There now of course all
jacked up. Like why should we be providing stats? I said, I don't
know, man. He's what I'll be doing. You know, here's what
heli pad does maybe accomplish some great idea. I don't know.
But it's it's pretty decent. It really is the but the team is
great. There's just a doozy ASIC to build this.
Here's what they should do. Should I don't like that word? I
should take that. I should take that word away. Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, here's what they could do. They could make a general
purpose API, where you as the podcaster can authorize other
third parties to give you stats, so that you can get Oh, sure.
Yeah. I'll be great. Yeah, great.
Well, I'll recommend that to them. I mean, for me, I'm sorry,
the reason why we're discussing it was the subscription part. So
they they already have a product in the works, and they will
present to me when they're ready. But I think no agenda may
be able to receive on chain and lightning in the next week or
two.
That fast Wow. Well, they're only
technically it's, it's working. It's, you know, just need the
URLs to encode. And, you know, for for no agendas purposes,
getting the keys and working which I mean they are they they
pretty much have all the pieces,
so they're good So let me let me make sure I understand they,
they are going to have a key send a Kison enabled wallet
there. And they're going to, they're on their platform and
they are going to settle it into US Dollars immediately.
So you can set a slider, you can say I want, you know, like 10%
Fiat fun coupons and 90% keep it in Bitcoin or you can slide it
any way you want. And so that, of course, it's very inefficient
to do direct for small deposits through the A was an ACH, the
Clearinghouse, yes. So they'll do that once every night, they
aggregate all the payments of the day, and then put and then
send them over.
And they're gonna give you a separate metadata file that has
all of like a booster gram donations and stuff.
Well, again, it's not it's not going to work with KY sand off
the bat.
But when they get that part when they get to that,
yes, I believe, I believe so. And if I look at the if I look
at their interface now give me a second I can tell you here's
what I get from them now cuz I did get the Excel sheet it was
because I'm like, You got to have an Excel export or I can't
live on a second managers accounts. Right now I just need
to do this two days earlier. Okay, let me see. CSV. Let me
just see transactions. Let me tell you the fields that it has
now, which was very encouraging. I recall here we go. dispersed
date, date created date, settled account, information, account
name, total. millesime, that's total amount, currency currency
conversion. Oh, even put the fees in there. And then they
have invoice fields, memo, field, Name field, all the stuff
you want for, you know, to be filled up with either donation
node or a booster gram. So yeah, that point will take a little
bit, but once we get this part going, then at least we can we
can have it you know?
Yes. So that is if somebody wants to be donate, I think it's
was like 250 or above us dollars for executive producer. Yeah.
200 on the budget, and then you would have like, they could
don't, they could send they could ki send you through a
podcast app, one, one and a half mu or they can just 1,000,005
SATs or they
can just go to the donation page and just scan the QR code.
Right but either one word that the goal would be either one
would work Correct? Correct. Sweet. Okay. That's really fun.
It's really neat.
I'm super excited because it'll open up a lot of a lot of
opportunities for people who really just don't want to deal
with it maybe at least not right off the bat I mean, that's what
I liked about the slider was keep 20% in Bitcoin
3333 sets for mix through fountain no note and will thank

players like striking Cash App or making it easier for regular
users to buy and E wallets instant Satoshis talking to
content creators as an American in spirit and rooting for
European developers eg Albion fountain, so they could find
ways for users outside the North American market. Do you think

give me an strike to Yeah, I don't know. Maybe?
Yeah. I mean, it's I don't know what they're doing. I don't

The tone wrecker send us 3333 through Fontanini says. Now

beside record artwork is great so far. Did I see a brief curio
cast music entry by Dave noting SoundCloud hook as a test last
week? Did you think you I didn't I do have a SoundCloud test
feed? Yes, you did see that. That's interesting
because someone else was asking let me see what do we have in
the music tab isn't what's new.
I don't know what you mean. Don't record out if you're on
the mastodon to like tell me what you mean. Let's
find out what's going on.
Yeah, what do you do and I want to I want to know what you're

Sweden, it's the Aftonbladet

We may be old and creaky or not. Did
you have anything on your list? I'm just trying to look at the
back. Do you have to go back to the office today?
I do. But I've got a little bit of time. I don't know if you get
anything. But
let me see. I thought that was kind of the oral history of
gimlet slow demise. I don't know if you saw that. Oh, here's some
snack.
Oh, my God, I didn't read the whole thing. It's, I can just
imagine what it says though.
Yeah, it's pretty interesting. I mean, it was weird, because
there's, there's these two threads that kind of intersected
and I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Because one is, you
know, obviously, we're laughing at this $244,000 to create a
podcast. And that was like this big conversation and somehow
because of our comments about an edit and the way an interview
was edited on pod land. That kind of got conflated. Somehow.
I'm not really Yeah, it was really odd. And then on pod
land, they did a they did an interview with what's the guy's
name? Neil. He's a he's apparently the best editor best
audio editor in the world.
I haven't listened to that. Yesterday's yet. I haven't.
Yeah. So had made that for him.
So then James did an edit of the interview which Sam conducted?
In, I guess, what's that tool called? With the I'll use? The
script D script. Yeah. And, and then after that, the same
interview edited by Neil himself. And I mean, it was
that's at first, that's really hard to do. And I don't think
that made no sense to me, because I just heard the
interview. And it was, it was actually it was nice. It was
good to listen to I, I went through all the, you know, got
off track, it's back on track. And then Neil did it the way he
felt it should be done. And I felt like I was running behind
the story I couldn't quite catch up. It's like, hold on, moving
too fast for me. But the whole thing was kind of odd about. I
mean, I just put it this way. If you find yourself editing out
your arms and your eyes, you just find a different hobby. The
whole point is when you do this, and I have all kinds of arms and
ahhs and stop words and think phrases, and it's either you
gotta you gotta catch yourself that you need to learn to be
better, because in all these conversations about production
and executive producers and editors and mixers and
recorders, I did hear many people talking about the talent
on the show. And our even wasn't even discussed as a number that
you had to hire the talent. When I think the whole point is
podcasts and gives people with different talents and
opportunity to communicate. And I don't know if you need to cut
them all up and make it I mean, in fact, as Neil said, the way
you edit should be about what you the podcaster want to
portray. And that's my point. Exactly. That's what you want.
So I don't want to do an interview where it's going to be
cut up to portray what you want to portray. I want people to
hear what I have to say and Joe Rogan, I know no one over there
listens because you know he's evil. But you should listen to
Joe Rogan because he is a very skilled conversationalist. And
it's I think everyone should be able to learn how To speak
better at divorce, Nick and I, we that's one of the main
features of the show, he'll say you're smacking your lips. Or
I'll say you're saying the fact of the matter too much, and we
catch each other and we stop that stuff. And we make
ourselves better in the process. I don't, it's one thing to and
again, you don't necessarily need to shorten time on a
podcast, but okay, you have a budget of time that you want a
lot. I personally feel that you should have done a shorter
interview. That's, but that's me personally. And so I find
editing a conversation. And it's not about context. It's about
rhythm and breath. And I hear it all the time. Like, no, the
person didn't breathe in between those two sentences. It's not
comfortable to listen to say, I don't want to dwell on it too
much. But I was surprised what a big deal they made out of
essence, editing is it's inherently I mean, we don't edit
the show. And I'll make a little snip there to tighten up the
spot when you went to let the dog out. And that's it. And
everything else. Is that kind of the beauty of it? Don't we
already have the perfect NPR the perfect, mainstream media that
doesn't fuck up and doesn't say the wrong things? Don't we
already have that? Is it more fun to listen to authenticity?
I have found myself speaking more slowly, lately. And it's
directly in response to going back and listening to our
episodes. Sure. And hearing how, when my mind goes really fast,
and I try when my mouth tries to match the speed of thought that
my head is going at my words, get all fumbled up, and I end up
doing the arms and ahhs and I restart my sentences multiple
times and these kinds of things. So I've been hearing myself do
this. And I've been trying to consciously, like, slow down the
rhythm of my talk, so that I can so that my mouth doesn't outpace
my mind.
And you get that from listening to yourself and improve it.
Yeah.
Yeah. And it's really, it's really helpful because I want
I've got these ideas, and I want to say them, but also want to
say them in a specific way. Because just you have to, you've
got the idea. And then you've got the way that it comes out
and gets presented. Yeah, they're both important. Like,
really, almost the presentation is almost more important than
the ideas so because that's really where it becomes a
reality. So yeah, and this Yeah,
and this is what the podcast Industrial Complex has become a
bunch of creatives, who executive producers who come up
with a show idea, they pitch it to the person with the money,
then they go assemble the team and get a host. Yeah, that's
Hollywood. And by the way, gimlet and all these people, you
play Hollywood, you get treated like Hollywood. I've been fired
overnight, clear out your desk. No, you can't take your edit
with you. Goodbye.
Let's Hollywood.
Ladies, we bought your show. We don't like you. You're too
expensive. You're a pain in the ass. You want to give too many
demands. We got new people for the show. You got no rights. We
bought that from you. That's Hollywood. That's it's such a
it's a trap of
ask so many people fail. It's not even just Hollywood. It's
the broader media. Like, it's just it's New York. It's all the
you know, look how many people bounce from like new station to
new station, you got people going from one, you know, Fox to
CNN and back and forth, and all these kinds of places like that.
You just get bought and sold all the time. I mean, you just, you
know, meet some of those guys make lots of money. But I mean,
you you're not you're not above being fired at all.
No, no, absolutely. It's just it's so it's misguided. That's
all it's just, there was a lot of money floating around. And
now it's tightening up as I predicted. And it's just, it's
only gonna get worse than the people who have figured out how
to put a podcast together themselves. Maybe with one other
person like you and I are doing that you're gonna make it
because you have to keep those costs low. You have to, and I'm
broken record one of the last times I'll do this, because we
never had the gear for podcasters and we're just now
finally getting the gear that you can record something with
your sound straight in. You know, like talented people, you
know, who have a conversation. It's funny enough to edit the
fun into it. That's the problem is we created this. This
generation of Phil Spector, a wall of sound podcast editors,
which is well just give me anything give me some stock
music. Give me some person reading a script. I'll make a
great podcast, but it's kind of manufactured. A lot of it.
Oh, straight up. I mean, like, I could think of If you want to do
like me some people really like a true crime type investigative
journalist one with a mic. Yeah. You know, yeah. And that's fine.
And that's fine. But you know, the thing about that, though,
is, I really think that there is something special about a couple
of people talking about a topic and hashing it out even so even
those shows, even things like a true crime or an investigative
thing, you get to you can have one person leading the charge
and saying, Okay, I get it. Here's what I'm trying to say
you could I can imagine sitting down to do a podcast, you have
the script there, you have the thing that you want to say. But
then it's also collaborative. And so you're going through it,
you can do that you can do that in one take. You can, you don't
have to edit the bejesus out of that right? No,
this is this is the travesty is people are so used to having
everything the processing every wouldn't you just want to hear
while you're speaking. What it's going to sound like on the other
end right away. I do. I do. I love that. Anyway, yeah. So I
backslash. I have no idea why I got on that rant. Other than I
truly, honestly prefer not hearing edited pieces. You know,
and it's not so much like, okay, when I went off on a tangent,
and he talked about ice bears for 10 minutes. Yeah, of course,
you can make an edit there. But editing out arms and eyes and
saying, Well, yeah, I mean, I heard entire pieces were not
edited linearly linearly. The way Neil did it, he brought
stuff forward and backward, like, Okay, you're doing a
puzzle like this. You built the story. But it wasn't the story,
as it was told.
That that comes out. We see that in like news media all the time
you chip. keep chopping this and moving it around over here. And
he's like, Well, now I'm not seeing that's that's almost like
a, like a deep fake. When you when you rearrange the pieces
like that. It's still the part it's the person, but it's not
actually what they said. Because sometimes, like if you have an
interview, and you go through, let's just say you go through
seven topics in an in a in 30 minutes. Well, if you take a
response from topic six, in move it in front of topic two, or
topic two, and the thing that I discussed there may have
influenced what I thought about topic six. So now you're you've
got it at an order. And it doesn't make any sense. And I
may end if we had done it out of order I may have I may have
responded a different way. Like yeah,
yes. And then just as the final point on this. So we have
podcast creators, chopping up people and removing ohms and
ahhs so that podcast listeners can then subsequently play it at
5x speed with volume boost and everything. We're gonna run into
problems one day is going to be too much crap on both sides of
the equation. The gap Zapper, I'm telling you the gap zapper
is I don't dirty to me, it's just like it's a radio hangover.
It's like yeah, keep it tight. Yeah. What do you gotta do? You
gotta hit the top of the hour. You gotta hit the news. No, no.
Till you try this, if your guest is getting boring. Instead of
editing out the boring parts, say, excuse me, that's kind of
boring. Let's continue with this.
Which is exactly what you do to me. You're like, Nah, I'm bored.
Let's do some
downtime. I do it more subtle than that. I hope
you've done that a couple of times. But
it's also the it's also the art of making programming your and I
also I'm reading the vibe of the chat room.
Yeah, you're saying you're saying is boring. And that makes
everybody laugh and that leads right into something that's not
boring. Now you know all my secrets. Well, that's your
only secret. Only when you hit the only one I have
right there. That's all I got
to happen. Where does that come out? What what come out? No,
your bombshell did bombshell. That was me. Oh, that was good.
I was like, Did I hit a button or something? Three that was a
good one. Very, very good. Didn't have the bush. So thanks
again everybody for for supporting the show and
supporting the 2.0 project. The hands down the best, best group
of people I've ever worked with in my life. So exciting every
single day just to you know when there's not a lot of posts on
like a Wednesday, on on the social. Online I'm always
bummed. I'm like, where's everybody? No one's out here
today and no one wants to play In the sandbox,
we've got to go over remote remote items. So next week is
remote item Awareness Week. Okay, on the show
now remote item is where you can include something in an item
from a remote feed. Is that correct?
Yes. And this goes into a larger discussion of the podcast Gu ID
tag, which applies to many things. I think it's a next next
next week for sure. Because I have a whole thing written out
here that we didn't even get to about the good. So next week, we
need to do podcasts in bulk, by the way, but we're not having
any guests lately. For a few weeks. We just need to cleanse
the palate because we're really not a guest show. I mean, we do
it because we need too many people to today have their
products out. Just
just say, Hey, man, look, I'm really busy. You know, this
podcast is a pain in the ass. I gotta fix the API. We've got no
time for guests. Okay, we got no time.
For guests. Yes, it is boring.
If I ever really said that was boring to you. They ever said
that
we use the Show said that. You said that on the show once did
you take offense to it? No. Okay.
No. Did you think that? Hey, maybe he's right. I'm just
boring. Yes, yeah, that's when DeVore Act does that shit to me.
Because he does it all the time. I'll come I'll roll out his
whole spectacular sequence of clips. And he's like, yeah, it
was a little long was a little
boring.
Ya know, sometimes when I go on and on about some kind of
intricacies of some, like, you know, I don't know, protocol or
something like that. I bore myself. And you're like, This is
boring. I'm like, Yeah, you know, it kind of is Thanks.
Let's see where I need help. So I'll help you with the boring
where I need help. Okay, there's that I get off. I start on a
topic. And then I go off into Swaziland, and I don't remember
what the original topic was. And then I'm swimming. And now I'm
just spouting anecdotes. And I'm like, Well, let me tell you
about the time I interviewed Whitesnake, you get it when you
gotta bring me back. This is where I go really wrong. And I
also interrupt way too much. I've very bad
throw you throw Yutani contain and in the life preserver and
we've been really back in
now. That'd be funny if she wasn't dead. Dave.
She goes, she was dead. Yeah, sorry. That was passed. Sorry.
That was creepy.
No, it's it was alcohol. Unfortunately, that did redo.
Yeah. It was weird. It was one time. Funny story. Maybe you
remember that show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew?
Vaguely. So you
know who Dr. Drew is right.
Yeah, the famous highly qualified doctor.
So we had a reality show, which was his because he has a clinic,
a detox clinic. And so the people come in and the reality
show around it. And it was always it was celebrity detox.
And on one show, there were three people on one show that I
knew was free. It was like Danny Bonaduce, it was Steven Adler
from Guns and Roses. And it was and it was tiny.
But it's not I mean, it's probably not the music industry
is probably more aptly named the music and rehabilitation
industry right.
I can't wait for the first podcasters to be strung out on
smack you know, just wait wait to successful driving around in
the in the in the in the in the Bentley.
We need to we need to send out good karma and love to CVV Yeah,
yeah. Hope he's feeling Yes. Part of my greatest hits album
is what a guest Chapter Three of the greatest hits album this
gastroenterological humor. And like when one time I was having
like a headless in in a stool sample to the
gastroenterologist, and it took like, it took like, days and
days for him to get back. And I was like, You know what? I was
getting kind of worried. Of course, yeah, maybe this means
sometimes I call. I called him up and she in the lady was like,
Well, you know, we still don't have the results. You know, I'll
call him and I said, you don't really need you guys to speed
this shit up. Which I thought was genius. I tend to get upset.
Joke. She didn't get the joke. I'm like, oh my Hey. I'll be
here all week.
Oh, all right, brother. Have yourself a great weekend. And
what are we doing guaranteed next week?
We're guarantee we're doing it Awareness Week.
