Dave Jones: Have you seen this Zelinsky meme that's everywhere.
You must
Adam Curry: be this tall to start world war three.
Dave Jones: The funny thing about this thing is not it's not
really the Zelinsky to me. It's it's the is it. All the elite I
just realized maybe I'm late to the party. But all the elites,
they do this weird thing where they where they stand and face
each other and hold hands and austerity.
Adam Curry: And he says there are the two ladies.
Dave Jones: Ladies, and then in that other picture. It's McCrone
and Zelinsky stay in the same exact posting, they're holding
hands staring each other's
Adam Curry: repeat all these people are creepy. They are
Dave Jones: creepy in real life,
Adam Curry: and that and that whole NATO Summit, that's just
an arm sales conference. Okay, so can we sell some more stuff?
All right, we'll figure it out.
Dave Jones: Brought to you by Lockheed Martin. That's
Adam Curry: right. How you doing, brother?
Dave Jones: I'm good. I'm good,
Adam Curry: man. Very good. I always love it when it's just
you and me. I mean, I like having guests. Don't get me
wrong. Yeah, just the two of us. Don't get me wrong. And of
course, we have a chat room. Hello, chat room. Chat Room was
there as we are live. Oh, of course. I forgot you are
streaming live on on your video thing.
Dave Jones: So you're not a distraction to me. I swear. It's
Adam Curry: your only fans. I know. It's your only fans.
Dave Jones: I will be taking requests boosting your request.
Goodness
Adam Curry: gracious. Well, right off the bat. We've had a
couple of nice pre boosts, which I think we should thank people
for just because I mean, it's lovely. It's lovely when this
happens. Hello anonymous. 50,000 SATs, sending this to you guys
because I can't figure out how to move my SATs with I'll be
back on chain one day. I'll figure this all out until then
go podcasting.
Dave Jones: I hope you never figure it out.
Adam Curry: And we did a pre show which we always do. And we
got a lot of boost for the pre show people love the pre show
Dave Jones: is because of our amazing do it. Our voices blend
seamlessly together in a rush. Vocal vocal harmonies. It's
velvet.
Adam Curry: It's just pure velvet.
Dave Jones: It is that's what they've always called it.
They've always called me the velvet hammer, you know?
Adam Curry: Oh man, hey. Okay, I'll start. I'll start with my
music show. I'm getting ramped up, getting ramped up. I'm
getting amped up. I have a name. I've decided on the name. It's
kind of a little bit something that came from the last show.
Dave Jones: I hadn't had names to suggest or I don't know
Adam Curry: I'm not I'm loosey goosey. What names do you have?
Dave Jones: He does a terrible thing to ask you.
Adam Curry: But am I for you never never
Dave Jones: know the answer is no, no, no, no. Go ahead. What
do you thought about lightning round?
Adam Curry: Oh, I like that. Now. Did you see if there was a
domain name available for that? No, of course not. Well, let me
check. Okay, lightning, I like lightning round. Although it
does kind of suggest something fast and short stuff. True.
True. True. So I could register lightning round.com
Dave Jones: I just wanted to get that on the board before I hear
your your actual
Adam Curry: I'd like it. I like it on the board. I'd like it.
Okay, so let me see under can I register this? Let me see. Let
me see what's available. Now it's not available.
Dave Jones: Okay, well, it's off the table. Okay, off the board.
I put I retract it.
Adam Curry: I was thinking you know what, what would be the
most clear because basically I'm going to be playing tracks.
tracks that are value for value enabled. I'm sure as as the show
progresses, there'll be more information I mean, I'll talk
some crap and backstory and stuff when I can and maybe we'll
have an artist on you know from time to time or have someone do
a quick interview. I don't know I mean, I'm leaving it open but
the the main thing is to be playing music. And I just keep
coming back to booster Grand Ball.
Dave Jones: Booster. Grand Ball is a great name.
Adam Curry: I mean, and I have the domain name it just feels
right. It's exactly what the show is. It's you know, we want
people boosting booster grams, we want it to be a ball to know
a musical ball, but just have a ball, bring your ball,
Dave Jones: ball and go home when it's over, hey, don't
Adam Curry: take that ball and go home. So now what I'm looking
for now, is I need some imaging. Also, there's so much already
available for boosts. And for booster grams, you know, we have
a lot of got a lot of that kind of stuff. When I'm looking for
is a show opener, anybody want to give that a stab? It doesn't
have to be one set show opener, I will put you in the value
block. So I'm looking for jingles. I'm looking for
positioning music stuff, whatever it is. Because I can I
can make it myself but why bother when other people be
happy to do it?
Dave Jones: And, and you and they have a different
perspective that you may not have which always comes through
Adam Curry: like totally. So this is the stuff that I had for
daily stores code in its most recent iteration. That's not
That's not that one. Where's my opener? Oh, this is the one
opener here we go this one sysadmins ensuring five nines
uptime 21st century of radios live on noise that kind of stuff
or this kind of stuff you know anything I can transition
between songs that kind of stuff I'm looking for. And I'm I could
I could call Jeff Smith and say make something for me. But I
want it to be a much more community thing. So I want to
and I want to have lots of stuff when I have lots of options. So
if anyone's interested send it to me. I would highly appreciate
that.
Dave Jones: No are you wanting per episode art?
Adam Curry: Wow, I mean if possible, that's beautiful. But
that's you know if that's it would require me doing it live
and I'm not I want to do it live and live as as much as possible.
I haven't selected a day yet. But maybe it's something I do
right after this show on a Friday since I'm already all
jacked up.
Dave Jones: Oh, okay. Oh wait so um, so you you're were you
planning to start this new podcast with without live and
then go to live lighter? Is that what I'm hearing? Are you going
to do live from the beginning I was
Adam Curry: I was hoping to do it live from the beginning
actually thought that would be kind of cool.
Dave Jones: Yeah, cuz that's I mean that's that's your that's
your style.
Adam Curry: See, dubs is saying it's not in the split that I do
something wrong. I just want understand. Did we do something
wrong? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know when people
say that I get worried. You know? What's not we don't know
what we don't know what it means. Don't just say it. Don't
just do that to me. Yeah, so and I want to get started pretty
soon I got the beta the fountain beta that has the references so
yeah, the song show up at WC net. Are you on?
Dave Jones: Yeah, Mom got it. Yeah, minute I've been I've been
playing with it. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Okay, so how why is this beta?
Dave Jones: How wide is it? Yeah, how would you mean
Adam Curry: well, I mean, how boost the boost bot is it's I
don't know if it's in the white book. How widely distributed is
the beta is my question.
Dave Jones: Oh, I'd I don't know.
Adam Curry: The boost bot is most fountain boost but I need a
different boost bot in there. Okay, well, I can't do that now.
Dave Jones: We'll see. That's it Sam a note this morning acid
asking to get because I still can't get in my pod fans. And
Adam Curry: you can't get an either. Yeah, it's it's like the
two guys who really needs to be in there. Definitely need to be
in that in that thing. Well,
Dave Jones: I feel I feel so in order to in order to launch your
podcast you I mean, you really need that you need pod fans
needs to be on the online I mean, because we need to be able
to because that's one day. So we have curio caster fountain, pod
fans and pod friend. Those Those for support. Support the value
times split and then podcasts Guru is coming. So and is pod
verse. Is that still in beta? Do we know? For the pod? For the
for the vape? I
Adam Curry: don't know. I don't know. I'm also Mitch was here
also see dubs are saying I'm fountain to live block says it's
ended. Well, that's fountains problem because I'm live. My
life block says it's good to go. I don't understand any of what's
going on.
Dave Jones: This is a great endorsement. I'm for all this.
Adam Curry: Well, I'm sorry. scissoring time you know, but
I'm just worried that I'm not doing the split kid right,
because I'm not sure what is in charge of what? I guess let me
check. I mean,
Dave Jones: oh, yeah, we're live. It says punchy. I'm
looking at the feed right now where it says we're live.
Adam Curry: Right then Honestly I don't have the boost the boost
bot I don't have that what is the what is the boost bots?
Dave Jones: Oh bless you Steven do you put podcast chat tag in
there is always one step ahead brother.
Adam Curry: Did you do something good?
Dave Jones: Yeah, I put the podcast the new unform alized
podcast chat tag.
Adam Curry: Ru Yes, yes, I know that I knew that wasn't okay
with IRC right the boost bot so the boost bot I have to add this
okay. All right. Oh ma second let's get scissoring tireless
the weather reminds We'll do it live Hold on a second. So
episode I'm gonna I'm gonna change will this work? Or will
people have to reload their? They'll have to reload their
feed, won't they?
Dave Jones: I don't even know what you're doing. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'm adding in because someone's complaining
that the boost bot is not is not in this in the live split. To
see dogs is complaining see dogs is complaining. So I guess then
it doesn't show up in the in the chat. Does that make sense?
Dave Jones: I don't know. Try it. Okay. There's only one way
only one
Adam Curry: way to find out. Okay, so I put the boost bot in
there for 1% of the split. Okay, publish feed. And there we go.
So hopefully that works. I don't know.
Dave Jones: If we see all if we see all listeners drop off at
the same time.
Adam Curry: Well, what everyone needs to do now is boost. If you
know I'm saying this is Hey everybody. Let's test the boost
bot. Well go.
Dave Jones: It's not a great test for me because I wasn't in
there. So I guess I'm a that's not an accurate test. But let me
let me go do it real quick. No. Where are you? Trying to boost
bot
Adam Curry: okay. I don't know what the boost boost boost BOD
is the thing that I understand
Dave Jones: to boost the Akira casting.
Adam Curry: Okay, and then what is what is supposed to happen?
It's mostly loose but should get it right. But then the boost bot
will also show up in the IRC chat. This is excusing.
Dave Jones: Yeah, okay. Yeah, this bus should show up because
that's what this one is. Normally it will let me get into
Adam Curry: like got your boost. Okay, yeah, got 123 does not
show up in did not show up in the yo boost in the Mossad.
Dave Jones: And I gotta just an essay. 1234 Hopefully it goes to
this book. But probably not. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I have no idea. Okay, well, anyways, this is
great. I noticed. Oh, there we go. Yeah, that works. There you
go. Eric P P. Okay. Booth spot is working. All right. All
right. See, dubs not allowed to talk anymore for the rest of the
show? distracting me Stop it. Just stop it. Stop it. So yeah,
so I'm really excited. As soon as I have some imaging stuff.
And with that, I mean, like the sound sound imaging, I'm gonna
get started. And I want to do it live. Because I think that'll be
the most exciting and maybe we can even take some requests, you
know, stuff like that. I'm going to start live, and we'll see
where it goes. And that means I probably won't have a set
schedule in the beginning. Because, you know, I already
have no days left in the week. So I got to figure out when when
to do that. But the release of it will be on the same day, if
that makes any sense. So when when we go live will be one
thing will but when when it releases will be a second thing.
And
Dave Jones: the the request, the the request part is really
interesting. I mean, that we could have a lot of fun with
that. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. I mean, I want I want people to boost the
requests. And,
Dave Jones: yeah, like, we could, like it should be sort of
structured data instead of just a text, hey, I want blah, blah,
blah.
Adam Curry: Doesn't why?
Dave Jones: Well, cuz it would be because it would be a kind of
fun experiment. So if you say, oh, okay,
Adam Curry: I have an idea already. I got an idea. Okay.
All right. It would be phenomenal. If people could go
into a webpage. I'm gonna say podcast index, or no, how about
this ln beats? Lm beats is a great way to do it. So you go
into LM beats, you find the music you want. And from there,
you should be able to have a request boost form. Yes, that
sends it to me. And then I can import it right away into the
split kit. Maybe it's a part of the split kit.
Dave Jones: Yeah, that I think that's that's perfect. So you go
into Yes, you can go into your app, and you can go find the
podcast. You want
Adam Curry: Steven B's already. I can make that happen in the
split cut. Yes, the split kick can actually can actually shave
me while I'm doing the show. The kid can feed my dog can drive me
to work. The split kid can do everything. It's just a little
complicated how it works.
Dave Jones: Yeah, well, it's fine, but it's fine.
Adam Curry: It's fine. I love it. No, this is good. Okay, so
that's all fine. It'd be the split kit you could have a
request to A request thing, then and then I can just say okay,
and then what I need Steven is I need to be able to preview the
track when it comes through so it'll be structured so it'll be
in the interface and you'd be able to preview the track and
then add it to the to the rundown. So then when I when I
play it, I can I can hit the timestamp and it runs that would
be that would be beautiful.
Dave Jones: I'm thinking about something here in the
Adam Curry: work coming up with me we're building tools here man
this is great. I love it.
Dave Jones: I'm having a thought but I need I'm looking at the
spec right now. So you have remote feed Gu ID and remote
item Gu ID I wonder if those could be repurposed for this use
who say sometimes a payment is fed to a robot so if you had as
if you have that then you could have the action? No, no. Okay,
what's the action alright, if the action is request so let's
just say the action is boost stream or auto currently means
you're available off right we can have we have another action
call request.
Adam Curry: Oh man. Yeah, now we're talking I love it in
Dave Jones: the remote item remote guid would be interpreted
as the thing being requested, not not a split. Okay. Do you
catch my meaning?
Adam Curry: Steven B. And Nathan Gee, I don't want people to
think it's a metal only cuz I'm gonna play all kinds of stuff so
probably not, you know. Interestingly enough, when I
think of booster gram ball, I think of a different song. Do
you know what song I'm thinking of?
Dave Jones: Oh, yeah, yeah, like
Adam Curry: this one. Roger Glover. Ronnie do Ronnie James
Dio love is all clack you know the song? Yeah, yes, for sure.
Understand, yeah. Play the hook
let me fast forward some hours the hook. There we go. The
Butterfly. Butterfly ball. Yeah, that's it. Did
Dave Jones: you see this? Ronnie James, do you?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Was Roger Glover? Really? Yeah. You didn't
know that?
Dave Jones: No, I had no idea that was do Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, that's that was that's what makes the
song not gay. I mean, that in the ad sense of gay.
Dave Jones: Thought about that? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Hey, man, that sounds no good, right. Hey, man.
It's do brother. Oh, I'm sorry. Back off. I'm sorry. I made a
mistake.
Dave Jones: Yeah, like, AC DC. Big. She's got big balls. Yes.
Agreed. gaggle pod.
Adam Curry: Okay, so you'll add that to the spec, Stephen B will
build it will be ready by Thursday.
Dave Jones: We should do Stephen B will be ready this afternoon.
I will get rid of not let me right. Actually.
Adam Curry: That's cool. All right. Um, we're gonna spawn
something. So I am so excited about this. I just want to
reiterate. And I've written my article for Bitcoin magazine.
They actually already wrote that. Yeah, they actually ping
me. They said, Hey, man, we're excited about your article. Oh,
my God, that never happens. Oh. So I ran it through chat. GPT
and I think it's good now. No, you didn't I sure did. I sure
did to tighten this up and did a pretty good job actually. Yeah,
yeah. But but the final phase is the Tina wash. So I'm going to
send it to Tina. Because that's what she you know,
Dave Jones: wish you knew what she's gonna do today. What
Adam Curry: is this chat GPT crap. Right away. This is
horrible. So but in your team, that's what she used to do for a
living. I mean, she's a pro so she'll, she'll rewrite rewrite
stuff and put it all in there in the right context. I got about
650 words. And let me see. Where is it here? Now I can actually
tell you, where is it? Article, podcast, podcasting, 2.0 music
and value for value in the ever evolving landscape of
podcasting, a groundbreaking movement known as podcasting.
2.0 has emerged, spearheaded by the geniuses Adam curry. Dave
Jones doesn't say that, but I thought it was. This initiative
was born out of the need to protect and extend podcasting in
the face of challenges posed by major platforms like apple.
There's a little bit of history there. And then I'm talking
about real time payments. I'm kind of reiterating some stuff
where Some music stuff would I put that in here? Anyway, and
I'm trying to simplify it. Oh yeah. The system has the ability
to switch to different payment wallets and splits within the
podcast automatically redirect payments to the owner of a piece
of content using the podcast primarily used for music played
in a podcast. Artists are now seeing direct payments from
podcast listeners often surpassing payouts from
streaming services by several magnitudes. recording artists
whose music is not owned by a label or publisher and not
licensed to antiquated agencies, such as ASCAP BMI, are now able
to self host or use a specific hosting provider such as wave
lake.com, music side project.com or dystopia.com. To make the
music available to listeners using V for V enabled apps, or
podcasters, to include them in their shows. Now freed from
outdated ownership and licensing structures. podcasters can
freely share the value of music in their shows, while ensuring
the artists received the value sent back by their listeners,
igniting an exciting way for music lovers to discover music
outside of big tech entertainment algorithms and
agendas Bucha Daddy
Dave Jones: that I like it. Okay, thank you. Thank you. This
is her hooky at the bear.
Adam Curry: There's a lot of words there. But we'll work on
it. So yeah. And it really will ignite a whole new category of
and this will be good for everybody. It's going to be good
for hosting companies, it's going to be good for apps, it's
going to be everybody's going to benefit because there will be an
entirely new generation of podcasters coming on board. And
just think college radio. You know, these were not people who
could talk for an hour had something to say for an hour, or
felt that they were interesting enough to do anything for an
hour. But when it's Hey, ma'am, I'm Pete. Here's some cool
tunes. I really liked man listen to this boom. That opens up
possibilities for a whole new category of podcasting, which
has just not existed.
Dave Jones: Agreed? Yes. Agreed. Totally. I mean, the so Alex
said this, that we shouldn't be building this into the payment
protocol. I agree with that. That's I'm sorry, we shouldn't
want like the whole requests thing. They shouldn't be in the
protocol for the payments in a I agree with that. I'm thinking
more along the lines like it shouldn't be baked you you're
mixing stuff together so you know we had the actions or like
boost stream or auto Yeah, which those makes it these are all
payment related functions.
Adam Curry: Oh, I see. I see what you're saying. Yeah, okay.
Yeah,
Dave Jones: yeah, you're you're crossing the streams which is
and I agree with that. Like I'm thinking more along the lines of
something that's like you know, so like the request itself or
the message itself would contain this structured data so I don't
know what we'll figure out it will work yeah will work I mean,
just make it makes ballin but
Adam Curry: it's a it's a board meeting with just spit ball and
Baby baby knows with no one's moved to motion we're all good.
Take I don't have a PowerPoint. So yeah, I hope to have that
going within a week or so. As soon as I have some some imaging
and some booster gram balls to Adam gareeb
Dave Jones: The see that you still blown my mind that as you
do. I never knew that. Like, like, because I always thought
that song was super stupid.
Adam Curry: That's why I got you to laugh for like a real belly
laugh for a moment there when I said it to you. Yeah.
Dave Jones: The Yes. I think it's general it's just time to
start putting all the pieces together. Because we've got tons
of pieces now. And it's time to start kind of wiring them up.
Yes, like Because? Because I went back started working a
little bit on on MK Ultra today. I didn't have much didn't have
much time today. But I started I want to get my hits. I've been
in dashboard mode for a while.
Adam Curry: Yeah. By the way, can I if I can just say go ahead
go to the dashboard for the podcast index. I've actually
used it a couple of times successfully now to help people.
There was one that I screwed up royally. That was the lovely
lady who who had four shows and then Carolyn was telling me what
to delete and it was the wrong ones believe me. I deleted the
wrong ones. I'm sure of it. Yeah,
Dave Jones: I went back there and fixed it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that was that was that was quite a nightmare. She
had all different feeds and some were right and some were wrong.
And she had multiple entries that one I I'm sorry, I just
lost it on that one.
Dave Jones: Well, I mean, some of the some of those are so and
plus you are her writing style was so difficult to understand.
Yeah, we're
Adam Curry: not native English speaker, I thought, right? Sure
she's South American or something.
Dave Jones: Those are the instances where you're like,
Nancy, Brenda do the Dashboard. Once you probably get into the
Yeah,
Adam Curry: and I appreciate that. But I've had people say,
you know, delete refresh, a good refresh to successful refresh or
like, Hey, how come my show hasn't updated? You go look,
last entry 2021? Well, you know, when, you know, when you don't
update, then we kind of push it down to the bottom of the list.
And so you know, I won't kick you manually now. Is that okay?
That's cool. That makes sense. And I did it. And that happened
right away. It was it was, it was nice. It was it was a
beautiful moment, beautiful moment, he
Dave Jones: would tell me what's Alright, since we're on
dashboard talk, tell me what's missing, or what you think you
still need. Before before I get away from dashboard and get back
to MK Ultra.
Adam Curry: So the, one of the main and this was the thing that
confused me, where I think the merge function, I haven't quite
had an opportunity to use that yet. But there's people who
will. So here's, it's like, Okay, here's my, here's my feed.
And it's wrong in the index, you know, this is, it's just wrong,
whatever that is a going and you look and you see that on the
current on their new feed, let's say it's Buzzsprout. The entry
in the dashboard will show their old feed, which could be a cast
or something else. And if I hit a refresh, or a scan, I actually
have set a reset, which, which, as I understand it, scans the
whole thing all over again, all the metadata. That doesn't
actually happen. Or maybe it happens, but it's not showing in
the dashboard, because I would expect the new feed to show up
in the feed area.
Dave Jones: Does that make sense? I'm struggling to fair,
Adam Curry: I'm gonna have to show you an example. But also,
it's nice that you're talking about a mortgage on that
merging, not a merge now not a merge. Reset I that was
confusing. Yeah. So someone will say my podcast is showing the
wrong feed. And it's, it's clearly getting an update from
the new feed. But in the dashboard, and on the website,
the feed icon links to the old feed, and when I hit reset, it
doesn't appear to reset that feed field. Does that make
sense?
Dave Jones: Oh, I see. So you're Oh, after the merge, forget to
merge. Sorry. I
Adam Curry: said merge, no merge unlocked. We're not merging, get
out of get out of merge. Not merging, merging, merging,
single entry. Someone says, My podcast has the wrong feed
listed. I'm gonna go in wrong Feed URL, yes, when I go into
the dashboard, right, I can actually search by their new
feed, and it will bring up their podcast from the news feed. But
the old feed is in the feed URL field.
Dave Jones: Okay. And even when
Adam Curry: I hit reset, it does doesn't appear to actually
repopulate that with a new feed.
Dave Jones: Okay, I know what that is. So a bug that I find a
Adam Curry: bug. Come on
Dave Jones: now. Gray Area, it's a gray area. It's a gray area.
So what in the in the index? Every feed has two properties.
It's got a feed URL. And it's got something called original
Feed URL. And so when a feed moves from one place to another,
it's like a FIFO, like a first in first out it always your
whatever the feed URL now is. So like if somebody moves from
Buzzsprout to rss.com, their current Feed URL, in a perfect
world, their perfect their current Feed URL would be
rss.com, their original Feed URL would be Buzzsprout. Right? So
that way, if people are trying to find it, they'll both return
the same feed. So if somebody moves and somebody in but
somebody still hasn't caught the memo yet, and they're searching
by the old feed, Jarrell, it'll stop. Correct. Ah, okay. I
gotcha. So when you're searching by the old but who no matter
which feed you are, are you so just resetting the feed is not
going to change the feed URL in that scenario? What we need is
Adam Curry: true it also doesn't good it so it also doesn't reset
the feed URL on the on the website or I guess the API.
Dave Jones: Right. So what all is a scan just says kick off a
new scan for new episodes. Yep, got it. Reset. Does this
sequence of events it If it sets the last modified time and the E
tag to blank, it removes all of the episodes that we know about
from the database. And then it removes a bunch of cash hashing.
And then it says, Then it says rescan. So basically it
essentially, for it, it's essentially like saying, okay,
index, forget everything you know about this feed and go grab
a fresh copy, right? That will know, in no scenario, will that
change the feed URL. Okay, so the so what we need here is if
somebody says, hey, my feed URL is wrong, we need a sec, we need
that feed URL area to be editable. So you can go in there
and change it. Yeah, so I need to I need to add that feature.
Adam Curry: Yes. Okay. All right. scissoring, gray area?
Dave Jones: Yes, I have a. Okay, having that as an action plan.
Alright, feed.
Adam Curry: Because that's what that's what confused me. Well,
just didn't understand that. So I'd say oh, wait a minute. So
this is responding from the right new feed. All everything
showing the episodes are showing, but it would have the
old feed in there. And I'm like, that's wrong. Now I understand
what I was looking, I was misinterpreting what I was
looking at.
Dave Jones: Well, this whole thing is just a symptom of the
bigger problem, which is, which is Apple's presence in this in
the podcast?
Adam Curry: Well, let's, let's talk about that. Or do you want
to go to MK Ultra, because there, you got pissed off. And I
love and I love it when I see a motion from you, honey.
Dave Jones: I mean, I'm typically a zombie.
Adam Curry: No, you're, you're the calmest most chill, dude. I
know, I think yeah, I would say you always approach things with
love and compassion, and understanding and empathy. And
when when you're not like that, it gets my attention.
Dave Jones: Cridland accused me of a baffling abuse of power,
quote unquote.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that that, to that?
Dave Jones: It didn't piss me off. I just, I would just rather
reserve terms like baffling abuse of power for like
government corruption. Yeah. And like war crimes.
Adam Curry: Bombs. I think cluster bombs is a little closer
to the
Dave Jones: you were just talking about podcasts. I don't
know that that's justified. But But what if that's, that's fine.
But rhetoric rhetoric aside, it was a fair criticism. I mean,
like I, I, I get angry and I just in a change something and I
should have I should have talked it out first, because? Because
there are because apps are dependent on the index. And also
if it doesn't affect just me, it's not it's not up to me, it's
up to this board meeting for a reason. So no, he is. He was
right in that in that regard. So but, but I mean, more so than
talking about the reason that the feed URLs are so screwed up,
and all that kind of stuff. This all goes back to the same thing.
Yeah, apples, apples gray. They've been great in a lot of
ways. But they have really, their presence within the
ecosystem really effed up a lot of stuff. And I don't know how
that's disputable. I mean, so, in this scenario, what happened
was pod verse Colliver pod verse, I think it's, I think
it's Mitch, his brother. He sent he does their admin stuff. And
he sent me a message and said, he forwarded me an email. And it
was an email from one of their users from one of their patrons
and said, Hey, I'm trying to find this podcast on pod verse
and I can't find it. And it was bitter blood. Case versus case
like some kind of Casey case, some family drama podcast, okay,
cool. From ot from Audible, it's like an audible original. So
it's got a public RSS feed. It doesn't look like a private
feed. Like, it doesn't have the hallmarks of like, some sort of,
like members only feed or something like that, you know,
it just looks like a normal feed. And so I'm like, Well, why
is this thing not showing up? And cause cuz I go in there, and
it's in the index.
Adam Curry: I see it. I'm looking at it right now.
6072109.
Dave Jones: Right. But it's dead. It showed up as dead. So
it was not visible within the API. Local. That's odd, because
so that should only happen if I kill something manually, or if
it's got a block tag. So I go look at the feed XML and it's
got a block tag, block, iTunes colon block. Yes. That was, this
is weird. There's so I'm like, Okay, well, why? Why would why
would it be this way? So I go and look in Apple's directory,
and it's there. It's there. And it's in Spotify. And it's in
listen notes, and it's in downcast. And it's evidently
been there. And I'm like, Okay, well, so and so now there's a
situation where,
Adam Curry: why it's so the block tag is not working even
for the literal. The literal interpretation of iTunes block.
Yes, the editor and everyone else is ignoring it to
Dave Jones: it. That's the way it seems, is. So a little bit of
side note here. We've got questions out to Audible. And
Apple, about what is going on with this particular feed,
because this is indicative of a bigger issue. I'm not going to
say that it's widespread and like, huge, but this happens on
a frequent enough basis that I see feeds that have iTunes block
that have the iTunes block tag set to yes. And Apple still
continues to list them. So James came back and suggested that
they this was audible. Perhaps he didn't say this definitively.
He said, I don't know. But perhaps audible set this iTunes
block tag to yes. But then went into Apple's dashboard, the
Apple podcast or connect dashboard, and told it to list
anyway, somehow, I don't know, I've never been in that
dashboard. I don't know anything about it. I don't even know if
that's possible. But whatever. That's one theory. So here, so
if that's the case, whatever the case is, really, what we have is
a system now, where you have podcast feeds that? Well, let me
let me back up for a second. The reason I got the reason I got
pissed off is you suddenly begin to be aware in a situation like
this, that, that there's a game going on that you weren't
invited to. And that game is this weird interaction of the
podcast ecosystem with the iTunes namespace. So the iTunes
needs somebody somewhere, thinks that putting a blog tag in their
feed, does something and somebody somewhere else doesn't
think that that's the case?
Adam Curry: Well, a lot of somebody's apparently. Right.
Dave Jones: So and let me be more specific. The iTunes
namespace is an app is an accident. The way it's being
used in the podcast world is law. Is is Apple came up with
this with the podcast namespace in order for their prod, what
they're what they did was they gave the they gave the namespace
documentation to the world and said, Hey, if you want your
podcast to function a certain way, within Apple, here's what
you need to do. Right? This namespace defines the way that
you are to write your feed in order for it to perform certain
functionality within Apple's directory and Apple's podcast
player. That's all it does.
Adam Curry: And for some reason, there is an and this is when I
came into the conversation, there is this unwritten law that
no no and iTunes block means blocks, block it from all
directories, which I fundamentally disagree with,
because I read the spec, and it doesn't say that. And what Rob
would got thrown back at me is Well, Google says that I don't
care.
Dave Jones: See, and that's that's the infuriating thing
about it. Again, why I guess so I think that's the infuriating
thing about this entire setup. Is, is they're both right.
Because Apple, Apple's iTunes names in the iTunes namespace.
All they only care about themselves. They never defined
this and said this is the spec that everybody in the podcast
industry is supposed to use. agreed this, this is not an open
namespace in the sense that we all agree that this is the thing
that we're supposed to use and we all get a voice that you
should stay you should think of the items namespace not as a
namespace not as an open spec, but as an A API. The iTunes
namespace is the API that you use to control
Adam Curry: to control how certain things work within the
iTunes within the Apple ecosystem
Dave Jones: within the Apple ecosystem. They never guaranteed
anybody that it would work any other way with anybody else's
platform
Adam Curry: question, why do we block something that has the
iTunes block in it then?
Dave Jones: Because that's the issue that's in that's the part
that James is talking about is everybody else has adopted the
iTunes namespace to mean to have certain functionality applicable
to them? And so they said, okay, because there was nothing else
we didn't exist. The podcast namespace didn't exist. In the
iTunes namespace was the only game in town by the biggest most
dominant player in the industry, it became
Adam Curry: law. Well, clearly it clearly it didn't, because
you said that there were four other platforms that ingested
this and ignored the block tag,
Dave Jones: including Apple themselves, including, well, we
don't
Adam Curry: so we don't actually know why that why Apple ignored
that or if it was a setting that change, but there's a there's a
more fundamental issue here. So now we have a namespace three
years old. The namespace is an open namespace that lots of
people contribute to it. Apple has recognized it by verbally
recognized it when it comes to the TX T tag, although that's
wishy washy at this point, I'm not quite sure exactly where
we're at. But what I took what I take issue with is I have in the
podcasting 2.0 feed as part of our namespace, which we declare
I have on my bring it up here I have podcast block, Apple, yes.
Podcast block, Spotify. Yes. Podcast block, Amazon. Yes.
Right. And Apple ingested that feed. I didn't put it in there.
I don't know who put it in there. But it's in it's in
apple. So they ignore our namespace. Right, right. That's
when so okay, you can be you can be that way. But when the the
reason that is given is well, only 0.3% of the world
recognizes the name of the block tag from the podcast namespace.
That's a bullshit reasoning. They Apple should play nice. And
if you know that, I just that the it goes back to the whole
reason we started this day was because people were sucking
apples srong that's why nothing ever got done. We they were
treated as the as the owners of podcasting, and they're not. We
have to make a stand with a couple of things.
Dave Jones: No, I agree with you. And the the issue here is
that since Apple's since the iTunes namespace was the
dominant thing for so long, hosting companies decided it and
justifiably, justifiably. So hosting companies took it to
mean Zeiss, Zeiss, and I've spoken with them, they think
they think that the iTunes block tag is a universal signal that
everyone is going to respect or should respect. The iTunes
blocked tag to not list a feed in their directory. And I can
understand perfectly why they think that for reasons we just
went into as a problem is that Apple, like I said earlier,
Apple never designed it that way. And because there is a
mismatch of design, there's a mismatch of intent. In Apple,
the reason Apple doesn't respect the podcast blog tag, is because
they don't give a shit about the podcast namespace. They've
already from their perspective, they've already given us a way
to block things in iTunes in the iTunes directory, correct. It's
right there. It's the iTunes namespace correct. But But when
you say, Hey, Apple, I put the iTunes block tag in my feed, and
Spotify still listed apples like they're like, they don't care.
Yeah, they don't talk to Spotify. I don't give a shit.
Like that's what they're gonna say in the in. This is all. So
there is a fundamental mismatch of desire and intent between the
open podcast community and the actors within it. And Apple, the
most dominant player in that community. So there is no that
is an unresolvable conflict. The only way you resolve this is by
creating a truly open namespace. And that's the US are only and I
can't I can't help the fact like that, it's not that it doesn't
have wider adoption than then it does some of these tags. I can't
help that at all. But I can actually see, my issue is, okay.
There's something here, whether it's a bug, or Okay, let's say
that Jay did James's supposition is correct, is his possible
scenario where there's a thing inside Apple where you can say,
I'm gonna set iTunes blocked to Yes, in my feed, but I'm gonna
go in and tell Apple itself to somehow override that enlisted
anyway. Okay? Now you've you've, you're not even you're not open
anymore. This year, you've now set up a scenario where you have
special disposition to mate to, to override feed level
visibility. You've, you've said in your feed, here's, here's the
thing I want. But you've gone into a private API and said,
Here's how you can, here's what I really want, right. And in
that scenario, we're now no longer talking about open
podcasting, we're talking about private API's that can control
things that that the feed itself says are not true. And this is
what I was talking about with the good with the robots dot txt
file. If I put a robots dot txt file on it that blocks Google,
and then I go try to go into Google's Admin Tools, they're
gonna say, hey, and make sure that something shows up. They're
gonna be like, hey, you need to go change your robots. txt file,
because you're blocking us,
Adam Curry: right? The way it should
Dave Jones: run, because they're playing by open standards in
this scenario, and unlike, okay, if, if, if we're competing now,
with a whole bunch of platforms that have private API's that we
don't have access to. My only option is either to create
another private API, which is completely contrary to all of
our ideals and the reason we exist, amen. Or to just say, you
know, what, our apps that depend on us are getting penalized,
because you're not playing by the Open spec of podcasting. And
I'm not going to play a play along with it either.
Adam Curry: What's, what the ultimately interesting thing to
know is what is the creator's intent, and I'm all for respect
the creator's wishes. So was the creator's intent to block it
from just Apple or all all platforms? That is the one thing
we need to know that's the missing piece of information
here?
Dave Jones: Yes. What was the we're trying to figure out?
Yeah. Because I mean, we're actually sending emails trying
to figure this out. Because it because it may
Adam Curry: is reading is, is we the entire staff and management
of podcasting two point, I just want to make sure who we is
Dave Jones: Executive Administrator with
Adam Curry: your admin, yes, your admin is all over it. Yes.
Okay. Yeah.
Dave Jones: Yeah. Yeah. She's crackerjack. She's all over. But
there's people may hear this discussion and think this is
like a tempest in a teapot.
Adam Curry: No, it's very important. It's I think it's
critically important and I feel that now Apple may not care, but
I want them to know that I have made my my Creator wishes known.
That is clearly there, if they wish to ignore it. Okay.
Understood. Now, how something how's our feed? That, that I own
that my, my email address is a and how that got imported into
Apple is a mystery to me. Because I'm not sure you can
actually do that. That's simply but okay. It's it's interesting
that it's in there. But that we have the open podcast namespace.
This is the one that the industry contributes to, there
are hundreds of 1000s of feeds that declare the namespace and
may not use all the features, but I think the block tag was
wasn't that something that? Hadn't Some people use that? Or
am I the only one?
Dave Jones: I don't know. I haven't I haven't tried to do
statistics on that. Okay. I'll Alanna, if I can't get an answer
this question. All I know to do is, is just simply create a
whitelist and say, here, that I'm, I'm in general going to
respect the tag, because there's a lot of hosting companies that
I know
Adam Curry: that see it that way that publish as as a block as a
universal block. Yeah.
Dave Jones: And I don't want to kneecap them, but could they I
don't, but, but I would advocate in the background for them to
also adopt the podcast block.
Adam Curry: Exactly. That's what I'm saying. I think that would
that would be the way to go.
Dave Jones: And the because you know and try to move the needle
on that. Because it is it is helpful. Let me let me finish
that because in this scenario, if I can't get an answer to it
In the whole world seems to allow this tag, excuse me allow
this feed to come through. Except, except us. All that does
is penalize the apps. So there may be what about the feed? This
somebody really wants, and they sweat, you know, and they were a
downcast user and they had it there and they switch to pod
verse, and now they can get it. It has nothing to impart it's
not pod versus fall. No, no, no. It's because as because downcast
uses Apple's directory, right. And pod verse uses ours, and I
don't see why that I don't see why they shouldn't get screwed
in that deal. No. So you know, in this scenario, when there,
maybe it's a short list, maybe it's 20 of these feeds that
exist. I don't know, we
Adam Curry: just, we just need to know what the deal is. Right?
And
Dave Jones: I mean, the having a blog tag is okay, because there
are private thieves out there log members only fade and it's
messy, and I'm okay with having some sort of blog tag it to give
a signal because we don't have a better way to do it. But, and,
you know, HTTP basic authentication is this whole
thing is a mess. Honestly, sure. Is. The whole thing is screwed
up. If we have this screwed up system anyway, I mean, like
this, this is like you're just adding lipstick on a pig at this
point. But But I mean, I don't that that's that's kind of where
I'm where I'm standing on it now. And I really will I need an
answer to this question. And I've put James's reached out to
everybody. I've reached out through a contact of mine
through another third party who knows somebody in Amazon and I'm
trying to get answers to these questions so that I know how to
proceed and if they if it comes back of, well, I don't even know
why that's in there. Well, then I'm seriously I'm just going to
create a whitelist and just start these when feeds fall into
this category. I'm just gonna start sticking them in the list
and say, we're, we're ignoring this tag for these feeds. Right.
Okay. Now, I don't know anything else. I don't know what else to
do.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, I'm big. I did get when you're so resolute.
This that's me resin. But that but there is also something to
be said for the podcast industry to universe and this would be
this is a good one to do universally support the podcast,
namespace block tag. So their customers when creating fields,
they can make a choice and make their choice known to the world
so that everybody understands it.
Dave Jones: Agree. Yeah, I agree. And and I can, you know,
I've said before, one of the most difficult parts of this job
as far as you know, as far as the podcast namespace is
concerned, the podcasting 2.0 side of things, is it is not
just code, it's code and then a bunch of a bunch of zoom
meetings with people and stuff like that trend. You have to be
a coder and an evangelist. And the evangelism part is hard and
exhausting. And so that I tend to not do it as much as I
should. So I should be beating the bushes and saying, Hey, this
tag is screwed up, use the podcast namespace bog tag
instead. Right? Right, please. Please, at least add it beside
the other. Yes.
Adam Curry: All right. Well, since we're on Apple, let's, uh,
more bring up another topic, which you and I disagree on.
Really? Yeah, we do. Get you even said we disagree on this.
And this is why the value for value you're
Dave Jones: wrong and clearly.
Adam Curry: Well, this is the conversation about why the value
for value podcast apps have not been tagged or flagged by
Apple's App Store for their violation of their guidelines.
And if I can summarize, I would say that your view is Apple was
giving us a break. And
now, okay, I'll read summarize. Your view is because they're in
the space, they are cautious to kick apps out for antitrust
issues.
Dave Jones: Yes, because book book there. I think they feel
comfortable kicking Nasir out because not because they because
Apple does not have a monetization strategy in the
social networking sphere. But they do have a monetization
strategy in the podcasts sphere. So they if they kick out value
for value podcast apps, it looks like a conflict of interest.
Adam Curry: Okay, so that is your position. Yes. And others
have have wondered out loud Well, if noster apps are being
being tagged and filled I have to remove zap functionality.
It's curious that the podcasts value for value apps aren't
receiving the same treatment. And I want to reset everybody's
mind for a moment. Because it's apples and oranges zaps on a
social network is nowhere near value for value streaming
payments or booster grams. In a podcast app, it is two
completely different animals, the only thing that is the same
is the Lightning Network and Satoshis. That's the only thing.
And if you read the guidelines, and I made a study of this,
because this is this is one of the most important things in my
life, it is my life right now. That that this system keeps
functioning because I have lived by this value for value system
for 16 years, I have not taken a single penny from any corporate
company, any advertiser, not a share. I'm not I'm not an
advisor, and nothing, nothing, it's only been what people have
sent and mainly on no agenda through PayPal. And this was the
the upgrade the solidification of the entire system. Because
you know, as we know from PayPal pocalypse PayPal is a very weak
link in the in the process. And obviously Bitcoin, the Lightning
Network, fulfill some of the sense of anti censorship part.
But the guidelines for Apple clearly state that you can tip
or donate to a creator. I believe there's a huge
distinction and difference between a post calling that
something from a creator, you can really start to get it this
is why I've never liked the term creator. Because yeah, you know,
I took a shit and I took a picture of it. I'm a creator,
you know, a post, which someone then zaps that post, as they
said, in their argumentation to damos. They said, that can be
used as a quid pro quo. So hey, if I'm an influencer, and I post
something about your company, you will then zap that post.
That is completely different from value for value. Besides
the name as it implies, and the entire we've published, what
value for value is it's time talent, treasure, it's returning
value that you feel you've received from the entire
product, there is almost it's almost unthinkable that someone
would do an entire podcast for a quid pro quo for your booster
gram. And the the whole system is set up and named in a very,
very different manner. And very, if you look at the guidelines,
it's so exact and spot on, right down to its name, that it's just
not the same thing. And I think Apple recognizes that now. Is
there a tinge of hey, if anything, I think that they're
afraid. They're afraid if they were to to stop this system,
that they could lose market share in the podcasting apps,
app sphere, people would revolt and that that can happen. I
think we're way too far down the road for them to start kicking
value for value podcast apps out of the system, but it's not for
anti competitive reasons. As you said earlier, as we agree, they
don't give a shit about anybody else. Apple does not give a shit
about you, me, the podcast names based podcasting, they don't
care about anything. They care about Apple. They they're
they're not giving anybody a break or leniency. And I hate
hearing that, because that makes me very nervous. If that were
true, then they can wake up one morning and say they could do
that anyway, obviously, they could wake up and say, Screw
these guys don't like him anymore. So the one where we
have to be this, this will be going back three years in time
all let's be nice to Apple.
Dave Jones: Oh, no, I, hey, we're on the same page with
that. I mean, this is not that. When I say that, that when I say
that? That was my feeling. It's not as Donald say that out of
hope.
Adam Curry: No, I know, I know that our citizens know that. But
I want I want it to be known that the value for value is so
far removed from what noster is doing. And in addition, in
addition, the splits the value splits is has created an
ecosystem that is recognized as not something that you know Kim
Kardashian is ever going to use this and this is this is and I
believe that it's true the social networking aspect of
noster With zaps, is completely open to a payment system for
digital assets. Hey, man, I'll post this right now. Boom,
there's a zap. That's not how podcasts work. Podcast, don't
you don't just whip up a podcast episode. podcast episodes are
value created in advance and people can value that back. It's
not the same as a post that was done a nostril? Do we agree on
that?
Dave Jones: I mean, I agree. I guess the question is, does
anybody else, you know, the people that they get to make
decisions?
Adam Curry: Well, okay, anybody mystery? Yeah, of course,
anybody can can change. They can change their guidelines tomorrow
if they want. But more importantly, I want everyone to
see value for value as something much bigger than a payment
system, which is why, you know, when there's when there's a
suggestion, saying, Hey, we can just do this with dollars now.
No, it's, it's not even about dollars, it's about value
received value returned. It's a programming format. It's not
just a payment system. It's a it's a philosophy. It's, it's a
model for doing a podcast, not expect to get paid for it, but
to be doing it because you're receiving value for what you
did. And that can be a nice note, it can be someone creating
some art for you, someone creating a jingle, someone's
sending you an email that you can use in your program. It is a
modern content format, that includes a monetary value
mechanism as one of the options. It's way beyond a, it's not like
advertising. It's just not it's not like I'm going to do this
show. And if I just if as long as I have a value block in my
feed, I'll get paid. No, you won't. There's an ask. There's a
recognition, it's all spelled out of value for value dot info,
it's very important that people understand that this goes way
beyond the monetary aspect. It is, in fact, I think the saving
grace for podcast moving forward, as everything is
collapsing upon itself.
Dave Jones: I wish I wish I had clipped it. But coder radio, in
the last couple of episodes, Chris has been talking about,
you know, losing an advertiser and that kind of thing and, and
how they're, you know, really going in with, with boosts, and
you're going to, you know, have that try to make that a part of
their revenue stream. And he, it's good to listen to the most
recent episode because he goes in at the, you know, they they
talk about you talking about the ask, he says, you know, a, our
goal for this for each episode is 500,000 SATs. That's what we
would, that's what our target is. And he tells everybody up
front, that's, we want you to we want you to boost and we want
you we are trying to achieve 500,000 sets. And at the end of
the episode, he said, here's how much we actually got. Keep that
in mind for next episode. And let's try to hit the 500,000
mark. He's He's being very open and transparent about what he
wants his audience to do. And then me, you know, I boosted
into the show last couple of weeks, talking about a specific
topic and response to something and then Alex boosted in and in
responding to something I said, then I boosted back and we've
like, it's been this fun, back and forth where we as the
audience have been boosting in, like having conversations with
ourselves and the host at the same time interacting all
together. And it became it's, it's a whole it's created an
entire little sort of show within a show. Yes. And that's
like that whole thing. That's my way of saying that. I think
you're I think you're right about this. Is Is Boost is
boosts and booster gram going to replace all of your advertising.
No. But what Chris is doing ethic ism and and chyron as well
for Mere Mortals. They are showing, they're showing how you
can begin to make the Trenton like make the transition.
Adam Curry: I'm going to take it one step further. I enjoyed
hearing Christopher Lydon on the pod news weekly review. I know
Chris, I remember very well when when Dave put his radio show
into into an enclosure which we had running for three years
before that and we're doing all kinds of stuff and I was able to
receive it on my radio userland and this is before I had made
the connection with with iPod which is really how the you know
the podcasting Park came together, okay, call it a it's
clearly a podcast, call it the first podcast ever, it's fine.
But what he still has, and he still holds is the social
aspect. He has a group of podcasters. And I guess they all
listen to each other's podcast. It's still kind of, in a way
like the early audio blogging, and it's and his spoken hub
model, whatever he calls it, but it's different. It's different
real voices that are out there. And this was indeed, the
original intent before podcasting, but I was a part of
that. We got overly horribly commercialize in its in its
intent. I mean, I did sound seeing tours, I'd go out with
binaural microphones, and I'd walk around Union Square at
midnight and talk to the homeless people in San
Francisco, and you would hear the sounds of the streets and we
were doing a lot of experimentation. But when I hear
Christopher Lydon saying, Hey, I never made a penny off of
podcasting, then like, yes, bingo, that's the point.
Podcasting, like blogging, which went through the same cycle.
It's not a thing. It's not like getting into radio or getting
into television. Do you have a reason you want to communicate
something and you want a community, you want to build a
community that receives it, if you are only doing this to make
money, that is you're going to be a part of a very, very small
set of people. But if you're doing it to receive value back,
if you go into it with that mindset, that's when it gets
beautiful, because that's when you open up something that radio
has never successfully done is had your community become a part
of, of the podcast become a part of the product through feedback
mechanisms, which include now, direct value, a monetary form,
but I would, I would argue, the numerology is perhaps even more
important than the value of the numbers themselves. Satchel of
Richards row of ducks 6969 808, these are all she slammed
Satoshi slam, these are striper booths, these are all content
messages that you're allowing people to create to be a part of
the program. And this is where everybody can find happiness in
podcasting. If your happiness is going to come from money, well,
you're going to be disappointed. I'm just telling you right now,
because it's very hard to make a living doing this unless you
have something that you are creating that is so valuable
that people want to contribute value back, which actually makes
the program even more valuable. I'll just tell you how it works
with no agenda. Everything I do 90% comes from the audience who
we don't even call listeners we call them producers for a
reason. They're sending me clips, links, personal stories,
thoughts, information, bullcrap, all kinds of stuff they're
sending, and I am packaging that into a show the people who can't
do that send value in a different way. And they do that
through a monetary unit. But everybody is contributing and is
equally as valuable to the actual product. That to me is
what podcasting is. It's not just a product, it's like this
music show. I'm not just gonna sit here and just play tracks
and count the money that comes in. So I'm taking the 5% and the
artists get 95% That's going to be a shit show. I want people
finding songs, you know, I want artists feeding back
information, I'm going to be the content router that makes all
this happen. And the value that is represented is coming.
Everyone contributes to that. It's podcasting is not just like
a radio show where you get paid at the end of the month based on
how many listeners you had. It is irrelevant. This This project
is so clearly value for value. We have 12,000 people that
listen maybe on a monthly basis 12,000 uniques, maybe if that
probably less. But the project runs it sustains everybody is a
part of it. And it's not just money.
Dave Jones: But my dad said my dad said a long time ago he was
a deacon in the church and he was saying that when you're
looking around for people to be deacons. What you do is you you
look for the people who are already doing the work of the
deacon. And those are the people you nominate to be a deacon. So
like he was talking about and that can be this engine General
can be expanded to all serve, you know, all all sorts of like
service things, you, you look, the people who are going to be
the people who are going to do the best in a passion project
are the people who are already doing it before, there's any
question of reward or anything like that is the thing I like
the most, it's like the podcast that, that I am going to start
already recorded one of the episodes of the little, you
know, nice nightstand book podcast, that, you know, that
thing I just, I just want to do is I feel like I feel like I'm
just dying to do this thing. But there's really I haven't even
really thought about anything involving money. I don't even
know if that will ever happen. I doubt it will. It's not really
that sort of thing. So like, it's, it's the podcasting is you
can tell when people are doing it, because they have a passion.
You can tell when people are doing it, because they've,
they've put together a math problem where they can end exit
the end of the month with certain X number of dollars,
right? in those in those things are just not compelling to me at
all.
Adam Curry: And that makes you a true podcaster I'm just gonna
get I mean, I read this this morning, and it really helped me
a lot Ecclesiastes night. I know, but I'm just gonna do a
Bible a little bit of a Bible verse, Bible Study Bible study,
the race is not to the Swift or the battle to the strong, nor
does the food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or
favorite to the learned, but time and chance happen to them
all. And what this really means is, you're not doing this for
those reasons it Life is not fair. People say hey, man, do
you are one of the CO inventors of podcasting while you're not a
billionaire? Well, I don't know. That's just the way it is. But
you're not doing it for those reasons. If you're doing it for
those reasons, you're just going to be disappointed at the end of
the road. Don't let the inequities of life. keep you
from doing fun things earnest, dedicated stuff that you want to
do. Yes. And that's the point. That's what makes podcasting so
beautiful. And I and it pains me when people are, you know, are
disappointed because they didn't get any value in return, which
the only way they measure that is by you know, okay, to some
degree, there's stats in your, in your dashboard, the Hey, I
got three guys in Belgium listening. Okay, that might be
kind of interesting. Or, you know, I made $50 Well, one bill,
I'm putting all this all this work in only getting 50 bucks.
These are the wrong metrics. You want the love coming back from
people? And and boosting is loving.
Dave Jones: But that, yes. The the feedback, the feedback loop
within a podcast is it changes everything. And it's, it makes
all the difference. I listened. I listened to an episode of
fresh air today. It's not really a list of things I listened to,
but somebody sent me an episode of it. So listen to it. And it
was good. It was good episode. And but it was so like at the
end of it. I felt I'm like, Okay, I feel like I just kind of
read a Wikipedia article. Yeah, I don't feel like I was sort of
like that beauty of podcasting, where you feel like, you're,
you're involved like you're you're, you felt like there's a
connection between you and the in the host and the guest and
all these? Like, I didn't get any of that. No, for that
reason. For that reason. I did not. I didn't hit the subscribe.
I'm not going to put that in rotation. Because while it was
helpful, and I thought that the information was good. I mean, I
don't it's not a thing that it's not compelling. And so I don't
want you know, I don't want to read Wikipedia all
Adam Curry: day. So when I hear our premier news weekly program
of the industry podcast weekly review, when I hear the booster
Graham corner, and the explanation is well, it's little
bits of money people can send to you and wow, there's 10,000 in
the last $10,000 In the last 30 days. That's not to me, that's
not what value for value is about. Value for value is a
feedback mechanism. That that that allows you to do exactly
what you couldn't do with fresh air. If you'd been able to set
and it's whether it's you know, 10,000 SATs or 100 SATs, it
doesn't matter. Me, probably the number would be more
interesting. You know, Hey, Amy gross 808 her, you know, that's
that's what it's about that is and that in Christopher Lydon
brought me back to those days where he was saying hey, we just
wanted to have Different, different voices about the Iraq
war. We wanted to have different voices about the economy at that
point. You know, we just wanted something we wanted to hear from
each other from from people from real people. And you know, it
didn't matter if you have names or oz errs, which now there's
entire industries to automatically chop that out,
make sure you don't sound human, whatever you do, make sure all
that stuff is edited out, please, let's not have any human
interaction. That's what we're losing. With that kind of
thinking.
Dave Jones: Did when you when you had the idea for the
enclosure? Where was money in that thought process? Nowhere.
That's, that's what I thought it. And I would say that. That's
true for let's just take, let's just say, Sam over a pod fans.
He raised he raised the seed round to get the thing off the
ground. But you can tell when he sends us a days. And he has all
these screenshots and all these things about the features that
they're implementing. This is not about money for him. No,
this is, yeah, this is a passion project. Where in in the passion
is from a distance, what I can see is that the passion is look
at all of these protocols that offer a so many cool things I
want to do all of them. That's where he's coming from. He's
like, there's a thing that exists that is not fully
consumed, and I want to consume it. And that that is a it's just
I don't, I don't believe for one second that it's that is a
primarily a money play. Otherwise, it would just be
another app. And it's not just another app. It's a it's a it
has its own unique identity, that's going to be a big deal.
Adam Curry: I wanted to be a broadcaster I wanted, that's all
I've ever wanted to do. I was a pirate radio guy. We had
advertising on the station, which paid for the rent and paid
for the transmitter for the power. And if the FCC came by
and took all our crap we couldn't you had a little
reserved so we could set it up within three hours be back on
the air. When I worked at professional radio stations, I
would have paid I would have paid to do it. I love doing that
I loved I love the medium. I love creating I just the idea
that I could create my own radio show because that's how I viewed
it at the time. Without transmitters. We don't need no
stinking transmitters, without a boss without a hotline that
could ring if I said something wrong. Or if I didn't sound
professional, or, you know, that was that was always the intent
always.
Dave Jones: Alex said I always said I certainly don't think
about money in any of the specs that I write. And you can do,
you can do. And I would go so far as to say that
Adam Curry: is anybody here making money in this whole
project? Please, please,
Dave Jones: I would get I would go so far as to say that. That
may be something that that may be part of the problem with
Apple, you know, at Apple, Apple podcasts probably started off as
a more pure play because there was there was absolutely zero
money in it from the beginning. And now there now it's different
leadership styles gone. There's there's a new, there's new
people involved. And it is it does have a monetization play.
Sure. And that's probably there. They've they've probably drifted
from that pure sort of open ethos as well.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And of course, of course, I mean, but I'll say
that Mayo when I when I met with Steve, and he introduced
podcasting in iTunes. And when he played the daily source code,
he and I had already discussed at that meeting, he says, Well,
do you intend to make money? I said, Well, I think the only way
I can see right now is and I remember exactly what I said, is
advertising. But we have to change advertising. That was
always my thinking we have to change advertising. And we tried
very hard. It was it was kind of back to the old days of talking
about a product what we'd call now the host endorsement, which
I don't like that either these terms because it implies an
endorsement. But that was that was always what I had hoped
would work. And that never worked. Host endorsements you
know, there. We're still stuck in the old model of boy you've
got a million listeners. I know that if I get you to talk about
my product I'll get X percent will buy because you said so.
You know it's dishonest is bullcrap. Nobody actually likes
my pillow.
Dave Jones: So but I mean,
Adam Curry: I mean come on Squarespace Now Splenda really
really Splenda by since SEO I mean all these it there was just
it's not podcasting is inherently not a great way to to
do advertising is just not and now we have we have expanded I
think just chipped away at the podcast Industrial Complex has
now created the entire systems that will make sure that oh
advertiser that not only will you not you know advertise on
the shows that are wrong but even if there's someone makes an
ad hominem attack against somebody else you won't get
caught in the crossfire come on What are we talking about? Yes,
that means is nothing but the all you can do is advertise on
fresh air. That's basically it. The most safe you know, non
combative, whatever. That's not what podcasting is for. I want
to hear crazy people. I want to hear people who have great ideas
who are doing nutso stuff I want to hear crazy music. I mean, I
want to be I want to be I want my mind blown. I wanted the
first people who came in to podcasting were the god casters.
They got it. Hey, I've got a very unpopular format for radio.
Yeah, I'm gonna read the Bible. I'm gonna read the Bible and I'm
going to interpret it a my way in my my, my conviction. This
that was amazing to me.
Dave Jones: It's funny. So when you this is we're on this topic.
Crillon asked Lydon. You know what, what did he think podcast?
What did he think podcasting was going to be in the future? I
kind of think if you take yourself back to when you first
when you first envisioned when you first saw that the Weiner
was going to put the enclosure tag into RSS at first begin the
first beginnings of this thing working. Did you have any
concepts of what it was going to look like in the future? And
does what it is now reflect anything like what you thought
it may be? Or did you not think really think of any where you've
too focused on just getting the tech working to think about the
future?
Adam Curry: I was big, because I was focused on getting the tech
working but you only get the tech working if you have the
content flowing, absorbs. That's why I built a directory, the I
potter.org directory. And I loved Don and drew. I love the
rock'n'roll geek show. That here was a guy who was a rocker who
was sitting in front of his microphone playing, playing his
own songs. He's like, he drank a six pack Michael Butler would
drink a six pack he was clearly buzzed. While he was doing this.
He was talking about his stories on the road match Weinstein the
bloated lesbian Hello, this was phenomenal, phenomenal stuff to
listen to. It's still there. So for me and that was actually
part of the problem because we would go to advertisers and say
look we got all these cool shows. You know we got the
bloated lesbian we got Dawn and Drew and the address what what
what do you have as him No, it's phenomenal. This is now because
it was so new and you know people would you know they just
kind of like oh, I guess so this is what the hip kids are doing.
But that's the stuff I mean. I can hear new shows anywhere
really. But if I even want the stuff that I that pisses me off
like pivot, it's a hate Listen, but it's something that you
could not get you could not get Kara Swisher dropping the F bomb
every 10 minutes about Elon Musk on any radio station. I love it.
I like it. I enjoy that. So I've just wanted to hear is so
restrictive, the medium of radio and television, the 24 hour
clock the linear programming, the linear and horizontal
programming like to say this the same time every day. We could
determine when we wanted to listen to this stuff. It was as
exciting as it is today. My my podcast list is very esoteric.
And it still is am so that never changed. I got completely
sidetracked, completely sucked up into building a company and
when you have a company then you've got to find a way to make
money but I it was the pod show days, some of the unhappiest
days of my life.
Dave Jones: You could tell you could hear it in your voice.
Yeah, you weren't you were so ready to get out of there. By
the time no agenda became feasible.
Adam Curry: It was it was like even before no agenda I sold so
I sold my plane. I sold all my possessions just so I wouldn't
have to work. It was like building a beautiful race car.
for NASCAR, I'm gonna drive this thing around the track. I want
to race the wheels off this sucker. But then they put all
these sponsor stickers all over the windshield, so I couldn't
see where I was driving.
Dave Jones: Yeah, and that's still, that's still the just
like there's this uneasy tension between Apple and the rest of
podcasting, there's still this uneasy tension between the
monetization side of podcasting. And the hobby side. Well
imagine,
Adam Curry: imagine the disappointment, when I'm sure I
got the call from Steve Jobs. I talked to the guy for an hour,
I'm blown away. Turns out I saved an entire company rogue
amoeba from from going out of business. You know, the story,
the Audio Hijack Pro,
Dave Jones: and as an accident,
Adam Curry: accent Oh conversation. And I gave them
our 5000 listening directed the iPod our.org was a beautiful
directory, because it was an OPML based open outliner. So I
had I maintained at the top, no, but anyone could basically
maintain it, that was part of the beauty of it, you know, just
like anyone can take our database and build podcasts
index, you know, dotnet, or whatever, but no one does. And I
had Country Manager, so you're the guy in Germany. So I would
use your your outline note as an include into Germany, I did it
by geographic region, just to make it easy. And then in
Germany that that person, say, Okay, I'm going to have sub
managers and you collect all of the podcasts that are intact,
you do news, you do politics, etc, etc. And everyone
maintained their own little node on their own server. Now, of
course, you know, with with the expected results, sometimes
something would break, but but then every night, I would roll
it all up, then I would traverse the entire tree. And then I'd
have whatever was new, whatever was, you know, and I'd have a
top note, here's what's new today, kind of like the NCSA,
What's New page for those who are old enough to remember
mosaic. And, and I gave them that entire directory. So
imagine the disappointment when they launched iTunes, and the
whole front page was NPR, NPR, BBC, it was all mainstream
stuff. And all the cool stuff was in there. But it was all you
know, you had to go search it go look in categories. And they put
all of the all of the pro professional stuff, quote,
unquote, on the front. And the whole beauty of podcasting from
that very me That was my mistake, from that very moment.
sucked. Apple's made it suck now, I'm happy that they were
there. But that was just apple. I mean, I was young, I was
inexperienced. What I could have expected that. So obvious that
that was going to happen. Oh, yeah. They put me on the front
page for a couple of weeks. Thanks, of course. But I didn't
hit the front page. After that. Maybe maybe one time when no
agenda hit 1000 episodes or something? They might have done
something nice, but not for long.
Dave Jones: Why can't we still do that? That concept of having
ever having the database split? into multiple, maybe not
regions, but multiple sections with different people with
different people curating?
Adam Curry: Oh, I mean, well, of course we can. Like, I love that
idea. I mean, we also do, we didn't have infrastructure, we
barely had email. I mean, we didn't have a lot of tools that
we have now. And, and creating, I mean, that just keeping a
weblog up when you got Slashdot that was that was trouble
enough. So that was Yeah, I got slashed on it. And that was that
was just keeping your web server running was hard, let alone that
you split up a database and had regional managers and all this
stuff. Everybody was using own little hosting space to host
their OPML file that then would be included in the next guy up
the up the chain.
Dave Jones: I mean, I guess we have, we have like, you know, we
have like 6 million podcasts in the database. All told, I mean,
I could see it being split up with six different people. And,
you know, we, we, we sort of were a concentrator that then
hits the appropriate back end where, you know, I like that. I
like that idea. It's, you know, you could do with obviously do
with OPML, because the data was small and you didn't have, you
know, didn't have millions of records, but I bet we could
still eventually find a way to do that.
Adam Curry: Well, this is essentially what Yahoo initially
was. Yahoo was a directory. It's a little different from an
index. Yeah, a little different
Dave Jones: categories. A little more like newsgroups. Yes. Which
is
Adam Curry: oddly how people organize things in their head
quite well, which is why I'm an outlier. Honor guy. I love
outlines and outliners. Anyway, so that is my, my philosophical
view on what we're doing. And thank you for listening because
I want it to be clear to everybody that we've we've
gotten into a loop with the podcast industrial complex of an
industry. And an industry is almost kind of counterintuitive
to what the whole medium is. And, and the, the beauty of RSS
distribution, which means everybody can also determine
their own playout system, what they like, you know, it's not
all now there was there was an interesting little little bit in
as Rob and and James, were talking on pod news weekly
review. And it was kind of enlightening to me. It's like,
you know, RSS is great, but because of RSS, we don't have
great stats for advertising.
Dave Jones: Well, that's gonna get worse.
Adam Curry: Right? But But that's why that's why the P IC
always wants to move away from RSS because they want logins
they want to know who you are. And you know, and Spotify didn't
do a great job of it. They know who everybody is. So I don't
know if it's ever going to work. And by the way, Spotify with
autoplay, that was like, that was like cursing God, back in
the day. Because we all know, autoplay is a scam, it's a scam
to get more higher numbers, make it look like you're successful.
You know. And,
Dave Jones: and we know what Spotify classifies as a play,
it's 20 milliseconds, exactly.
Adam Curry: So then that'll be counted as a download, or as a
play that will add that will count towards the advertising
numbers. It's a scam. It's the
Dave Jones: same but raw. I mean, Rob's not even in the
podcast industry anymore, is he? Well, he's like doing YouTube
stuff.
Adam Curry: But that's, that's neither here nor there. I'm just
saying, that is what the industry has become. And it's,
it's a house of cards. And you're seeing it now now that
the free money is gone. And, and all the all the great production
companies are folding or being folded in on themselves or being
aggregated away being there's no more 100 million dollar Rogan
deals, none of it's all gone. It's all gone because the cheap
money is gone. And so what remains is the pure
unadulterated joy of podcasts, about something that you enjoy
listening to, and that you can participate in. That's the
difference between podcasts and a radio show. You can be a part
of it, you can contribute value in three main ways.
Dave Jones: That's why I hope I think that thing, that's why I'm
so hopeful about the music side of things. Because in this
invite, it's not just podcasters as musicians, yes. And
Adam Curry: that and how how screwed over are the musicians,
they have gotten such a raw deal. From technology from
Silicon Valley. It started with the unbundling of a beautiful
product, which was the album okay, it was already a CDs of
the liner notes. But I remember I was there, you know, it's
like, oh, man, this is not quite as cool as it used to be. And
then iTunes unbundled the album into tracks. And Steve Jobs
himself set a price 99 cents. That's, that's what it's worth.
I don't care how much you'd like that song. It's 99 cents, which
is so unfair, because the value to someone he determined or
Silicon Valley determines what I'm going to value this piece of
music at?
Dave Jones: Well, at least at least, if you're if you're
looking at this on a on a advertising model, at least
within podcasting, you have the content itself is conducive to
being able to to contain advertising music, you can't you
can't drop an ad in the middle of a three minute song. There's
no there's no possibility to even do an ad based music model
that did go and I'm talking about in a way that directly
contribute directly benefits the musician. The only way
advertising works in the music world is if the platform does
ads in then as a way to monetize their own their own efforts to
stream music, your music to people that may or may not ever
pay you exactly like that. So there's no there is no other
alternative. For them the other the only other thing the only
thing that works that advertising does not work for
music. The only thing that works for music is value for value.
Adam Curry: And I'm glad you brought that up because I did
bring a song for today go to share with the group and and
this of course if you're listening in in what now what
are the apps I've lost track of them the curio caster pod friend
pod friend pod verse I think pod verse doesn't know
Dave Jones: me we still don't know not sure we're not sure if
I need Mitch to pipe in
Adam Curry: and curio caster can definitely do this live so I got
a short track I got a female artists today because we I don't
think we've had any well we had one we had one female a female
lead singer found this one over just sifting around through LM
beats and it has no intro so don't get to talk it up like I
usually do it Sarah Jade and you're gonna listen to wait
Destiny
Unknown: Destiny wait Destiny says to Gary Java ski fans and
installs can blaze on run me Wait wait wait wait this thing
says
quickly
as possible
God so you
don't you're all better
all across this galaxy Hello friends where are you traveling
Adam Curry: so all the SATs that you streamed the boost that you
sent that went to Sarah J we destiny we think like this all
Dave Jones: I did like it I also merged a pull request during the
middle of this What did you merge a lip merge.
Adam Curry: And thank you Dred Scott for boosting 100,000 SATs
to Sarah Jade. Oh nice. That is very nice.
Dave Jones: Very generous
Adam Curry: pen and man I'm so pumped about this stuff. So
yeah, there you go. I love the fact that musicians will now see
some kind of value from multiple people it'll be numbers. There's
there's you know messages that go along with it. This is this
this is what makes creative people do it do what they do.
You know it's not not a paycheck don't make be expecting a
paycheck just expect some value.
Dave Jones: On the on the face seven front,
Adam Curry: da Hold on a second.
Dave Jones: Oh, time for space. I love it. I mean we got a
space. We got to talk about it. We get It's a thing. Phase seven
is is going to be a thing quicker than we know. So right
now we're looking at chat, verify ownership. But they were
changing the name of the authorization tag, because it's
it's not. It's not authorization. That's, that's
not we're talking about, we're talking about simply verifying
ownership of a feed. And we're also look going to look at the
events tag. Okay, that's what we've got so far.
Adam Curry: And what is the event? What is the event tag for
Dave Jones: again, that was the thing of sending events back
from an app to Oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: writer, which actually could be very handy for
the podcast industrial complex.
Dave Jones: Yeah, I'm just think we need to revisit that tag.
Because John spent a lot of time on it, and totally even had to
prove he had a proof of concept and that kind of thing. I think
we should need to, it needs to be in the boardroom, we need to
kick it around a whole bunch and find out what we all want to do
with that. The chat tags already in our feed, and it's a it's a
simple tag. I feel like that thing's probably just kind of a
slam dunk. But I mean, it will still talk it over but the
verify ownership tag, I think we're kind of coming around. on
that. I think we I think everybody's kind of agreeing. On
the spec that we outlined. A while back, we're we're just
down really down to just kind of cache busting questions at the
moment. So I think that we'll be right. Hopefully, we'll have so
here's my plan for the verify ownership tag. I think I think
just for four reasons. reasons. Reason as I should be the one, I
should be the one of the first ones to implement that on
podcast wallet. Okay. Don't you think so?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah. And well, that's what that
automatically automatically be set through the the Partner API
as well.
Dave Jones: Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Because I mean, we we sort
of need, we're stuck to I mean, we know we need to, we need the
email handshake. And we don't have it. And yeah, yeah. So I
feel like, I feel like if I make that, then I can sort of proof
of concept that out to everybody else. And
Adam Curry: will we still have the email verification
possibility? Or is that not going to be? Okay? Okay.
Dave Jones: So here's my thought. We, we combined the
two. So when you when you claim your show, when you claim your
podcast feed on podcast or wallet, it would send you the
email with the authorization token in it, but then also give
you a separate authorization token, display it to you and
begin the Dave, the feedback loop. So then, like so that,
that way people can just spoof the email. But so there'll be a
separate token, and then we will, we will look for that.
We'll begin the cycle of looking for that every once a min. And
now
Adam Curry: we look for it only in the TX T tag? Or will we make
it a little loose for everybody who doesn't quite support it
yet?
Dave Jones: I think initially, we will probably have to make it
loose. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: think so too.
Dave Jones: Because if somebody goes in to technical term, by
the way, loose, loose,
Adam Curry: loose, like we can throw it in your Show Notes
field that a lot of work. So this isn't making
Dave Jones: qualifies as loose. That's very loose. Yeah, so I
think yeah, I think I think at first we'll just scrape the feet
for that token, were just as a big, you know, like, just look
for the substring anywhere in the anywhere in the whole XML.
And then, yeah, I mean, I think I think that's, that makes a lot
of sense to me. And then we have once we sort of prove it, then
we can show everybody, I'll put the code up and show the show
works.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Excellent idea. Excellent. Okay. And this
Dave Jones: is I'm hoping I'm hoping we can verify to get the
verify ownership thing done pretty quick and not have to
wait till the end of phase seven. I mean, because I think
it's an it's a, it's a pretty big need at this point.
Adam Curry: Is there anything that we need to revisit from any
of the previous six phases that needs love or needs attention or
that just has fallen by the wayside?
Dave Jones: Well, I mean, I'm sure that that's, that's
probably one of the dangers of going as fast as we have is
things get lost. Yeah. And, which is another thing I like
that what was sanded was I don't know if you saw that series of
tweets, where he literally tweeted every single tag and
what it does, no, I didn't see that. No, I missed that. Yeah,
he's like he's like pod fans supports this. And here's what
the tag does. It supports this tag and here's what it does it
supports they went through all 20 Something tags. And so
probably I need to spend more time in the sort of evangelism
phase. We've got, we don't want to jump directly necessarily
back into Phase seven and just say, okay, you know, we're just
going to barrel on through here and roofs heads down, we're
gonna do we're gonna build even more stuff, you know, like,
Wait, that's not necessarily what needs to happen at this
point. I feel like we need to take a breather. And sort of
like I think what you said is right, we need to we need to go
probably go back. I need to do I should probably do a little bit
of writing right now about some of these tags and how they fit
together. And then maybe a remote
Adam Curry: remote item might need some more some more
explanation.
Dave Jones: I've got a draft of a sub stack post for remote
items specifically and I'll just start backwards with that and
then work my way backwards.
Adam Curry: How about your show though? Man I'm waiting for your
Dave's nightstand days nice
Dave Jones: yes, there's the night yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna
launch I think here's here's Okay, let me give you this. Let
me give you this this dope idea that I got I was thinking that I
will I can buy a road caster duo yeah because I'm I'm looking for
any reason to justify buying one
Adam Curry: I mean, you're just going to record your mic right
it's just gonna be that Yeah, yeah, you need a road caster do
Oh, for that for sure. I need one baby. Without that I mean,
how can you even consider doing a show
Dave Jones: I was picking out bread at the grocery store the
other day trying to figure out how this fit into a road caster
duo strategy so my thought is I do the road caster duo and if I
get in and I can fly I can fund I can I can buy I can buy the
road caster duel on on a booster Graham credit or boost credit.
How does that work? Oh, go ahead and buy it and then they've
written then as I get boosts you pay it back you pay back pay it
off? Yeah,
Adam Curry: there's a good goal. There's a good goal said hey,
this is what I want first pay for that pay for the duo. Yeah,
I sent me some value for that.
Dave Jones: If I if in a year I get enough boosts to pay back my
Duo I'll consider a success.
Adam Curry: Oh, you'll have that within six weeks.
Dave Jones: I don't want that I want I want it to be okay and I
don't want people to boost
Adam Curry: well remember remember you get what you asked
for so if you just ask for open ended value you're gonna get
you're gonna be surprised so when when you when you set a
limit you're gonna get the limit when you say open you'll be
surprised
Dave Jones: I'm gonna do premium content.
Adam Curry: Oh give me a break
Dave Jones: if people craft you become a member become a member
I did that tell you about that about the show? There's always
trigger nom de no trigonometry of course you know that. They
like they're they're like tiers of membership. They have a tear
a membership tier where they will have dinner with you like
once a month I'm not shitting you that is the God's honest
truth. They will like have dinner over zoom with you. I'm
like, Are you kidding?
Adam Curry: What does that cost? What does that cost for dinner
over?
Dave Jones: Like $10,000 a month for all I'm asking for money
really?
Adam Curry: That's an interesting tear off the rails
man. I'm telling you if you just asked people to send whatever
they thought the show was worth to them. You'd be amazed time
and time and time again.
Dave Jones: This is all straight and various strategies that I'm
cooking up to but to fund a road caster do oh this is all that
matters. She says you I just want to have the little pads
where I can go up you need the little pads you need them one
Yeah, well sound effect is
Adam Curry: that it is such a beautiful cute little box. I
mean I can't I have everything set I got all of my duplicated
everything. So it was 499 for the duo and all the other stuff
I need excluding the laptop I already had and everything 200
bucks. I got a wireless mouse. new wireless keyboard new MIDI
controller already had the licenses for the for the
software. And I bought I did buy high end mic booms that are very
light they're made of like something not not metal. So we
can take them on the road and they're not too heavy.
Dave Jones: This is not in your studio, you know no problem was
Adam Curry: I was always breaking apart the studio and
you're all the cables and then you have to really focus on it.
You know usually after no agenda show that Okay, gotta pack up
the studio and I'm tired and I'm worried I'm gonna forget one
that one critical thing or the USB dongle or something and I'll
be stuck somewhere without the winner not being able to do it
so I just want complete duplicate and instead of
duplicating the road caster two I got the duo and
Dave Jones: we came up with a with a name of a cooking show
only pans
Adam Curry: I love it. You should do that on the no agenda
tube. Only. Only pans that's Hold on a second. Don't move.
Let's see if that's let's let's see if that's available. Hold
on. That's hilarious. Let me see. Add a domain. Bada bing
bada bing as your only pans.com That's I'm sure that's taken. So
on must have already taken that. Yeah, too bad. Yeah, it's
already gone. Weren't weren't. Yeah, that's that was that's too
good. You knew that one had to be gone.
Dave Jones: You still don't have any. You don't have no
agenda.com Do
Adam Curry: we have? We have no agenda? dotnet? No, no.
agenda.com has some bandhu. Let me see if they even have that.
No agenda. I have see if they even have the website up. Now
it's not even working. Oh, time to check it and see if it's
Dave Jones: available. Err, empty response.
Adam Curry: Yeah, let me see. It'd be funny if it was
available all of a sudden, is a band. Yeah, no agenda,
Dave Jones: Doc, would they put their music on value for value?
Adam Curry: Wouldn't that be great? That'd be funny. No.
agenda.com Now I'm sure it's parked somewhere. It's such a
waste. Me. Whatever. Hey, at least I didn't fall for that
scam. The Crypto domain names remember that? Oh, yeah, that's
thing evaporated in a heartbeat. That was if you look at the
chart for H NS I think is what the let me see what it was. It
was shape handshake. Yeah. So it was it was a crypto is H and S
I'd like you need this to protect your domain name moving
forever. And I think Didn't you even buy some?
Dave Jones: No, no, I didn't. I got an email and I ran it by you
and you're like, This is BS. Run.
Adam Curry: Run Run away. Can I still track them? Hold on h&s.
Here we go. H and S as it is the chart straight up and straight
down? No. At the time of the of the Scam. what I consider to be
the scam? They hold on me. Let me go into it here for a second.
Let me get the full on charts. The chart for all time. Yeah, it
was it was up to like $1 I think. Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
No, it was up to up to bite us when they were selling him. Now
all you got to have this. And I was like, No, this is dumb. And
you know, you don't know what it was $1 or $1 actually. And yeah,
well, they didn't rug pool. I mean, now it's 1.7 cents. Oh,
because because it's all it was and notice the all these all
these I saw him on the telegram group. And these people like
hey, man, you know he could ever go ever pop. Will we ever seen
anything happened now? Because it was it was dumb. They had a
name so you couldn't even connect it? It doesn't work with
DNS.
Dave Jones: But the is the dot eath is that still a thing? In
everyone's getting dot eath for a while. No, I
Adam Curry: don't know.
Dave Jones: I haven't seen one of those and forever this this
stuff is all it's just it's all such a scam.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And a lot of people fell for it.
Dave Jones: Oh, I bet because they sold it really well. I
mean, they saw they had the marketing and I mean, like it
was a full on push.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you can you can get your web three username.
Yeah, you can get dot eath it's just a top level domain name you
can get that you can just pay for it. Is pay for it. And eath
Okay,
Dave Jones: grainy. This all is also painful.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm sure that there's people just not true if
you use an alternative name server. Yeah, of course. Yeah,
of course we can do that too. You don't you don't need to have
crypto involved. And I say crypto because it's not Bitcoin.
Speaking of such, shall we thanks for people.
Dave Jones: I would enjoy that. Okay, because

that new podcast gurus new Alby I thought they already had lb
integrations that new.
Dave Jones: I mean, it's fairly new. It's been around for
Adam Curry: about a month and a half gets podcast addict doing V
for V. Are they still not doing that? No,
Dave Jones: not yet. It was the you know, he may he may revisit
that once. This is me talking has nothing to do his knees
never said this. He may revisit it one day with now that there's
things like Albay because at the time when he first explored it,
it was nothing but it was only Ellen pay.
Adam Curry: He also had a lot of App Store challenges I think, in
general, for some reasons that podcast addict I'm thinking of
Yeah, right. Right. Right. They've given him such a hard
time but not over yet burned. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure just
for whatever reason is, is all kinds of disclaimers. Ya can't
do stuff in the app.
Dave Jones: Over time if it you know, if it persists and we
don't get any appstore shenanigans, he may come back.
Adam Curry: And then one more before I hit the delimiter and
it is from the tone wrecker. refilled SATs in wallet feels
like a fully charged battery now playing catch up for previous
droopy boosts. When the cupboards were bare. 101010
Sakala 20 is blades only Ambala. Thank you. I love the digital
nature of these binary boosts. They're so nice. Thank you all
very much for live boosting. We appreciate it. If you're
listening now. And you didn't consider rolling it back a
little bit and boosting for for Sarah Jade for song. Hello, see
Dave Jones: we got it. Yep.
Adam Curry: All right. And Dave will now take us through the
rest of our donations.
Dave Jones: Again, I had to reach down. We would get Franco
Celerio or buddy ever cast ematic $100 through PayPal.
Adam Curry: Wow. Hold on $100 through PayPal. Thank you very
much.
Dave Jones: And I asked him when he sent. Thank you very much
Franco. I asked him when he sent in that donation. I said well
tell me, you know, tell me tell me how's it going with cast?
ematic? You know, Howard, have you had increase in premium
users? You know, budgets general financial health. I mean, how
was it how's your app do and and he said it was doing really
well. He said that podcasting 2.0 The bear has really sort of
elevated his his app store stuff and he's replaced so I was glad
to hear that. So
Adam Curry: he has a premium. I don't have iOS so I don't know
he has a premium option as well where you can subscribe. Okay,
good. Good. Yeah, that's right. And just support I like that.
You know, when I tell people to do this, I love it. I like cast
thematic. So yeah, you know, Franco does you know what he
does in his in his day job know why he's a doctor. What is
Dave Jones: his day job is cast ematic he moonlights as a
physician. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I don't think so. He's probably still curing

Dave Jones: We got Pedro Korea. I hope I'm saying that right.
SEO or EIA Pedro Korea. $10. one time donation to PayPal.
Adam Curry: Thank you very much Pedro note.
Dave Jones: Appreciate that. Oh, yes, Mr. Graham's let's see we

Mr. Gray,
Adam Curry: thank you very much.
Dave Jones: Thank you, sir. Nana. We'll see we get 1701 from
our Oh Archie. Source days gave us the boost CLI says boosting
via vim
Adam Curry: not really nice. I want to know how he's doing
that. That is big flex. I like it though.
Dave Jones: Okay, we have you we have our respect. Cotton Gin
Bootmakers ball 333 says thank you cotton gin. Oh Darren No. To
see he sent oh okay the way this is from last this from like at
the very end of last show. Okay. Let's see. 73rd Did we read sir
TJ the wrathful last week exciting music talk today I want
to help even more but as a recovering musician and
struggling just to survive Albert do we read that? Yeah, we
did. Okay, some of these overlap I think we let the show went
long last week so trying to Yeah, there we go. Make me catch
up here. Yeah, after we got some after show tunes boosts from
hard hat Thank you very much hard hat. We got a call
McCormick to enter two year anniversary for booths holy
Bitcoin Batman 22 through fountain we got a special
Richard from call McCormick thank you to fountain he says
the influencer game is real The more money is going into it. In
my opinion, it's an entrepreneur's dream. V for v is
the foundation. Most of these people are missing, though.
Adam Curry: Did you see Did you see that? People getting payouts
from Twitter? No. And they were posting it? Yeah. So I've seen
people getting $5,000.10. Of course, they have no 2 million
followers.
Dave Jones: Stay on the platform. No, it's, I guess
Adam Curry: the way it works is they put advertising in the in
the follow up tweets to your tweet. And every ad that is
shown in those tweets, you get a piece of the action. And so
yeah, some people were getting some some pretty big payouts,
then very interesting.
Dave Jones: Did you know that Twitter's getting sued by the by
a conglomerate of music publishers?
Adam Curry: I think I did. Because, you know, they don't
play the game. The game that everybody paid plays, is they
pay 10s of millions of dollars a year, maybe even more than that
for blanket licenses. And so, you know, that was really what
bytedance said, what tic TOCs it is they were the first to get a
full on as far as I know, to get not just a full on license, but
also to make it available to their people so they could do
all the stupid dances. And do and do it legally. And be out.
And then of course Google and Facebook, they also all this is
what the music industry is right with tick tock is the music
business. Right.
Dave Jones: And people just take people just take those videos
and republish them on the other platforms. Yep. And Facebook
paid. Yep. Yeah, Instagram and Twitter did not
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, he's gonna lose out he's gonna lose that
Dave Jones: he'll lose well, so one of the I don't have a last
who this quote was from, but as it may have been the guy from
Universal. He said, Twitter knows full well that music is
leaked, launched and streamed by billions of people every day on
his platform. No longer can it hide behind the DMCA and refused
to pay songwriters and music publishers. That thought that
was an interesting quote. No kidding. You know, he's like,
he's like, no, no, no, no, you can't just say, hey, send a
DMCA, and we'll take it down. That's not enough. You have to
actively use one of these fingerprinting algorithms trip
proactive.
Adam Curry: Oh, really? This is why we're doing we're doing good
work here. Send me that image. Dave. I want to I want to put it
on the I want to stream it. I can stream it. I can put it in
the split kit and stream it.
Dave Jones: Okay, that was the original Richard from Joel 1111
through fountain No, no, thank you. Thank you, Joe. Thank you.
See we've got 2000 SAS from Rp 1984. Boosting for Dave's book
club.
Adam Curry: Yeah, there you go. Go is to start.
Dave Jones: One 100 of the way to a road caster do Oscar marry
10,000 SATs through found he says I am against the shim for
music and podcast index. wavelike has exactly what we
need already set up and we should be pointing artists to
WaveLight to get on boarded. Having only one music hosting
company is not a problem in the short term. We just need to get
things started and as long as WaveLight continue to support
open RSS then others can come in later down the line. Let's all
get behind wave lake for music hosting and try and build as big
a catalog as we can. Which is the only way this will work.
Adam Curry: I think we I think we agreed on that. On the last
show. I did not get a second on the motion and it was it was
shelved and tabled to permanently you retracted it is
I did. I will now yes I
Dave Jones: retract every trial case now which I feel is better.
Okay, anonymous 6666 in the nodige says rockin well thank
you anonymous and he gave us another 6666 When no note bad
career advice chats and as a bigger sexual Richard's 11 111
through fountain he says not gonna not gonna lie this Shem
talk is making mas gloss over. Yeah, it's kind of the point.
I've been Ride or Die since episode one. But this discussion
was like a PhD thesis on the hypothetical application of
string theory to the distribution of ceiling string
from a can real problems necessary conversation, but this
is a real grind of a board meeting boost to give him Sorry,
bad career advice. Yeah, but we made up with it with great
music. That's true. Jean being 2222 threes cast Matic is a spec
wise maybe what we need is to codify a way to define a three
tier authors. What whenever I hear three tier.
Adam Curry: I'm boosting you out of that. Three tier
authorization is that like a secret handshake with a decoder
ring
Dave Jones: that thinks where you end up with one where you
end up shaking them The guy's ankle spec was maybe we what we
need is a to codify way to define a three tier
authorization process where an O auth flow is tier one and
automatically inserted TX T tags tier two in a manually added txt
tags tier three. Oh, I see what he's saying. Okay. Yeah, okay,
so it was Yeah, well maybe maybe maybe down the road Yeah, I mean
there could be a spec Yeah, cuz he asked me what you mean. Yeah,
that would that would be a separate spec, sort of like the
namespace would be defined as the tags and then how to
interact and then you could have a separate spec for this other
thing which I truly that should be something that the podcast
Energy Group does ah, that sounds like their bowl.
Adam Curry: Good luck was at Yeah Hey, um, if you pull up
curio caster I think I'm now streaming your Star Man image.
Dave Jones: How did you get it and you've seen it yet?
Adam Curry: I will. Say baby baby. Father we're talking about
sage man come on the lid down. Keep the lid down if you want to
stick around
Dave Jones: Oh, wait, we shouldn't be
Adam Curry: working here. Casters should be working. Oh
yes, I see.
Dave Jones: Now you you just have so you had just new toys
and I
Adam Curry: have power I have powers this is cool. This is the
split kid man once you figure it out. This is there's no going
back and
Dave Jones: that's a good look and Jeff and yeah, that's a
Adam Curry: great look. And Jeff said that your your is is really
tight.
Dave Jones: I know. I get that a lot if you knew how many times a
day I hurt
Adam Curry: yeah, I know. All right, and back to the value for
value image. Okay,
Dave Jones: and when Macintosh Oh, you just it just changed on
my screen?
Adam Curry: I did. How cool is that?
Dave Jones: Macintosh 2100 sets great talk about peer tube stuff
looking forward to integrating it into my setup Macintosh
generation Bitcoin. Well, that'd be great. Macintosh right Oh,
Jean being 10 grand cast Matic I really wish transcription
services would allow you to submit individual tracks per
speaker instead of just the merge mp3 as then there would be
no issue with knowing who said what.
Adam Curry: Oh, well. That's an interesting idea. I hadn't even
thought of that. Not that I would do it but it's totally
totally doable that way, I guess.
Dave Jones: Yeah, that sounds like a really neat idea. Jean
been 20 to 22 guests mazes I hear y'all talk about Hello, Pat
a lot. But it work with fountain or Alby as the wallet that
receives the boosts. Not not as a current it's an lnd polar.
Adam Curry: So you got to have you got to have a node. But
Dave Jones: but the plan with hell Upad when I returned to it
is to be able to boost back you know, do a reply boost in so in
that I think I will actually put in support for the lb extension.
Adam Curry: Ooh, yeah, that that would be great. If you can do
that. That's a big win. Yeah, thanks. That's a big win.
Dave Jones: See, just listening for devices. There's one podcast
where I don't skip through the ads. It is no dumb questions
with destin Sandlin and Matt Whitman. An excellent podcast my
entire family listens to and the ads are incredibly well done
this is a native ad plus they have started reading ads from
listeners who bid for an ad spot a very interesting idea in my
mind. Thank you for all right the way it works. Thanks Jess

of hosts who are who who support the the namespace items.
Dave Jones: Yeah, for sure.
Adam Curry: I don't know if anyone's done. Hands out per se.
But, you know, we don't really play favorites, but we're happy
with every host that supports anything from the namespace. And
everyone has to go at their own pace. But But Lipson, where are

Adam Curry: By the way, I wanted to apologize to everybody who
has liquidity through the podcast index node which is
where all these all these sites stay on the node we use that for
liquidity for people's channels. We were down for what was the
Dave six hours maybe a while it was a while man, we don't know
exactly what happened. But our voltage node went down or was
taken down was restarted. Graham caught all the errors or
something with we were running out of memory. We don't really
know why this is we get attacked. I'm just gonna
declared an attack. Okay, so we were DDoS. And but now the great
thing about our node is it's a big AST node, b a n big AST
node. Which is great because, you know, we can provide a lot
of liquidity we have over 100 channels. The downside is that
when you have one of those restarts bad restart, it has to
go and rescan everything has to prune stuff is a lot of stuff
that had to happen. And it basically took six hours I think
before we before we completely got back up. So apologies for
that. And if you need a reopening of a channel hit me up

everything's fine. But

favorites, my great, great uncle. He will go up on on top
of one of the mountaintops there. And they build a big
bonfire at the end of the day, and then they'll all be up there
and then he would yell let the fire footway, he would yell, let
the fire fall. And they'd kick all of the fire off of that and
would all fall down like a big waterfall of fire. That sounds
impressive. Camp curry. Camp curry. Now Curry Village,
