  I've been thinking about podcasting, AI, and algorithms. I can definitely see the appeal of an app using AI to create a custom feed. It's what the algorithms do, and I'll be honest, I like when the algorithm introduces me to something I love but otherwise wouldn't have been aware of. But, part of me also likes not having an algorithm, having to be conscious of my decisions, be aware of what I'm choosing to listen to. Right now, the nature of podcasting st...

  Reflecting on the last few years of podcasting, the innovations that have excited me the most were liveItem and boostagrams. I think it's because of the ability to turn the listeners into participants, to make a show interactive, to create a community. It turned podcasting from a consumption of content into co-creation and comradery.

  RE: https://podcastindex.social/@js/116975077957707089 Great article. Highly recommend anyone interested in the PC2.0 namespace read and consider this article.

  RE: https://podcastindex.social/@mgdell/116975387175649551 Must be something in the air with so many people thinking about what podcasting is and what it can be. Another great article for PC2.0 advocates to consider.

  Maybe my algorithm knows what I'm interested in right now, maybe it's the current zeitgeist, I'm not sure. I've been seeing more and more stuff talking about quitting social media because it's changed from a feed of people and interest you followed to an algorithm that pushes content on you. Somehow, I think decentralization and RSS feeds is the best solution to this for most media; blogs, podcasts, reels, video...

  I'm brainstorming something. For chapters, it's tied to a timestamp, which is cool, but the same idea can be modified so it's not tied to a timestamp and you have swipable photos, sort of like IG. So you could be listening to a photographer telling a story about their photoshoot and you're swiping on the photos, but if there's one you want to spend more time on, you don't have a timestamp auto changing the photo.

  Here's a potentially good use for AI in a podcast app. Fuzzy searching. Remember when Curry and The Keeper was hard to find in the Index because it was Curry & The Keeper? A fuzzy search would totally fix that, and AI may be able to autocorrect the query or send multiple potential queries to the Index to hopefully get the right podcast back in the search results.

  I'm going to stop hosting and maintaining LNBeats. If anyone is interested in taking over the project or domain, let me know and we can start the transfer.

  I opened up my CashApp wallet, and see all of this rss::payment::stream and rss:payment::boost gobbledygook. What am I suppose to do with that? Comb through it and click each one so I can get the metadata and read a boostagram?

  Why are none of the PC2.0 hosting companies stepping up to host metadata for their podcasters? As an app dev, I'd be more than happy to POST the metadata that was in a TLV record to your server so you could build a badass dashboard to show your podcasters their stats. I'm more than happy POSTing for your podcasters, but I'm not interested in HOSTing.

  @mitch @martin Are either of you planning on implementing liveValue into your apps? It's an unofficial tag, but CurioCaster and @podcastguru support it. Think of it as a live chapters block and live value block that gets sent over a websocket during a live show. I'd like to discuss a format that makes sense and modify the proposal so everyone can agree on a good format for the tag https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/547#discussioncomment-1620118...
