“Podcasting is the last frontier of the open internet”
Listen to an interview I gave to Michael O'Connell

This week in Podland, @samsethi and @jamescridland answer the question that's on everybody's lips: “How does Apple Podcasts compare with Podcast Index and their value 4 value cryptocurrency thing?”
(They also mention my Podcast Movement 2021 talk with Marilyn Zakhour and I am thankful for that.)

August 3rd! Podcast Movement 2021 starts today!
Thank you @adam for reminding everybody about my presentation: “Podcastindex: How to unleash your value thanks to the Podcast Namespace”
It is already online and available here:

All your podcasts hosted for 3€/mo: I successfully tested OVHcloud
VPS starter (3€/mo) + Debian 10 + CloudPanel
1.0.6 + @Castopod v1.0.0-alpha.67.
(Castopod is multi-tenant, CloudPanel allows several domain names: You may host as many podcasts as you want to on 1 VPS!)

I had bookmarked that clip from @evoterra’s Podcast Pontification.
“Big organizations [are] pulling the best parts of podcasting out of podcasting and into their own closed orbits and ecosystems.”

Yesterday in @podnews by @jamescridland: “Podcast Index is working on cross-app comments; Podfriend has some test code. The tests use the #ActivityPub standard.”
Well done @martin! 👍

Ten days ago in Podland, @jamescridland wished that we could get cross-application comments for podcasting up and running: Wish granted by @martin & @Castopod, thanks to all the PodcastIndex fellowship! 🧞 🙏 🚀 💬 ✊

First cross-app comment loaded in Podfriend, Wohoooo!

Thanks a lot to @yassinedoghri and @benjaminbellamy for their pioneering work on the host side!

Also, just to clear things up & sum up:

We ought to have a Youtube like - decentralized - commenting system under each episode, this means:

1. Having the same comments show up on all (listening) apps
2. Apps and hosting platforms would have to talk to each other. Which one keeps track of comments? Host? App? Both?
--> app users should be able to comment directly on an episode from their favourite app
3. Comments would have to be moderated

(1/?)

Is the podcast namespace brought by PodcastIndex (and already supported by many apps and services) that important? Listen NOW to @evoterra podcast now to understand why it is! ✊
