Podcasting 2.0 for January 2nd, 2026, episode
2
00:00:04,670 --> 00:00:05,830
246.
3
00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:06,930
Trap, trap.
4
00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:10,210
Well, happy new year, everybody.
5
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:13,870
Welcome back to the boardroom for Podcasting 2
6
00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:15,450
.0. That's right.
7
00:00:16,030 --> 00:00:18,010
What is gonna be happening this year?
8
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:19,850
Well, we're not looking back, that's for sure.
9
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:20,990
We're only looking forward.
10
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:23,290
In fact, we are the only boardroom that
11
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:24,890
does not have free daycare.
12
00:00:25,210 --> 00:00:26,950
I'm Adam Curry here in the heart of
13
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:29,410
the Texas Hill Country and in Alabama, the
14
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:31,689
man who only gets smarter with each year
15
00:00:31,689 --> 00:00:32,230
that passes.
16
00:00:32,370 --> 00:00:34,150
Say hello to my friend on the other
17
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:39,670
end, the pod sage himself, Mr. Dave Jones.
18
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:43,810
I'm looking at this picture you sent of
19
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:44,630
your wiring closet.
20
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:46,870
It's not a wiring closet.
21
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,170
It's a closet full of wires.
22
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:52,870
Okay, of your wire closet.
23
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:53,390
Yes.
24
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:54,230
Why?
25
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:56,370
Yes, where I keep my stuff.
26
00:00:56,930 --> 00:01:05,750
I think I spot the, your, how do
27
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:06,290
I describe it?
28
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:07,750
Your aborted project.
29
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:11,430
Oh, the Podcaster Pro?
30
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:12,690
Podcaster Pro.
31
00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:13,030
No.
32
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,050
I think I spot one.
33
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:14,570
No, it's not.
34
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:16,170
What am I seeing in here?
35
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:17,610
That is the PodMobile.
36
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:19,410
Oh, that's right.
37
00:01:19,550 --> 00:01:20,890
I forgot about the PodMobile.
38
00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:23,010
Yeah, the PodMobile, which is still selling.
39
00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:24,110
People like it a lot.
40
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:26,690
I still recommend people get it.
41
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:29,670
It's that perfect, you know, you want two
42
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:30,230
microphones.
43
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:33,110
You want to have someone on Skype or
44
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:36,030
a clean feed or Zoom or Riverside or
45
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:36,350
whatever.
46
00:01:37,110 --> 00:01:40,650
You want built-in noise gate compressor limiter.
47
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:41,630
That's the box.
48
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:45,730
I totally forgot about the PodMobile.
49
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:46,790
It's fantastic.
50
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:49,070
It's a good little rig.
51
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:51,310
What's the blue thing with the, let's see,
52
00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:53,490
one, two, three, four, five, six knobs.
53
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:55,430
The blue thing?
54
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:56,290
Yeah.
55
00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:57,050
Hold on.
56
00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:00,590
That's a half rack.
57
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:01,550
That's a half rack.
58
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:02,930
No, that's not a half.
59
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:06,530
No, that's one of those weird, weird sizes
60
00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:07,870
that doesn't really fit anywhere.
61
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:09,229
I'll tell you what that is.
62
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,030
Oh, the blue one?
63
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:13,090
Yeah, it's a 3 7th rack.
64
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:14,910
Oh, I can't focus on it.
65
00:02:14,950 --> 00:02:20,110
It's underneath my Motu M4 EXPS.
66
00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:22,090
I think that's a, hold on, let me
67
00:02:22,090 --> 00:02:22,330
see.
68
00:02:24,670 --> 00:02:27,210
Oh, you're actually going in the closet.
69
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:27,610
Okay.
70
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:30,070
Oh, I see.
71
00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:30,890
Oh, yeah.
72
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:31,930
Oh, cool.
73
00:02:36,050 --> 00:02:37,430
PreSonus compressor limiter.
74
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:41,810
Oh, is that the tube one you're talking
75
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:42,050
about?
76
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:43,110
No, no, no.
77
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:43,830
The TLS?
78
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:46,270
No, that thing is in the garage somewhere.
79
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:47,190
That thing is huge.
80
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:52,110
That's like a 3 19 inch rack high.
81
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:55,490
The studio that used to be over, I
82
00:02:55,490 --> 00:02:57,090
don't know if I've mentioned this before, but
83
00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:58,950
there used to be a great studio over
84
00:02:58,950 --> 00:03:01,830
here in Homewood, which is about five minutes
85
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:02,470
away from me.
86
00:03:02,730 --> 00:03:06,170
And they had a plate reverb.
87
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:07,630
Oh, yeah.
88
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:09,770
You know, in a room by itself because
89
00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:10,770
you couldn't have anything.
90
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:14,130
It was a humongous plate, huge.
91
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:16,450
Just hanging on it like, it was in
92
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:18,930
this big contraption suspended by wires.
93
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:20,630
So it was great.
94
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:25,850
When I was working in the Netherlands, 1984
95
00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:28,030
at the big government run facilities.
96
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:31,130
And we were kind of like the pirates
97
00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:33,930
who came in and we were playing music
98
00:03:33,930 --> 00:03:34,950
they'd never heard before.
99
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:37,670
And we had three hours on Friday night,
100
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:39,650
but there would be someone else.
101
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:42,170
I think it was actually the Evangelical Broadcast
102
00:03:42,170 --> 00:03:42,830
Corporation.
103
00:03:43,370 --> 00:03:45,750
They had a couple hours before us.
104
00:03:46,570 --> 00:03:47,090
EFCO.
105
00:03:47,850 --> 00:03:51,350
And so all the microphones, any reverb was
106
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:53,770
also done in a plate room and the
107
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:55,470
plate room was open one time.
108
00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:58,330
And so when they cracked the mic, we
109
00:03:58,330 --> 00:03:59,730
were yelling into the plate.
110
00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:04,030
So you could hear us come, our reverbs.
111
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:05,650
Yeah.
112
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:06,210
That's hilarious.
113
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:06,750
Yeah.
114
00:04:07,130 --> 00:04:07,350
Yeah.
115
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:08,970
Cause you could just yell into it.
116
00:04:09,430 --> 00:04:12,610
This is like Eddie Van Halen with Makita
117
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:13,990
drill over his pickup.
118
00:04:14,110 --> 00:04:15,750
You just, it just grabs everything around.
119
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:16,070
Oh yeah.
120
00:04:16,209 --> 00:04:16,589
Oh yeah.
121
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:17,550
Everything in the environment.
122
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:17,990
Yeah.
123
00:04:18,430 --> 00:04:19,750
How was your new year's brother?
124
00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:21,150
Oh, it was good.
125
00:04:21,410 --> 00:04:21,810
Yeah.
126
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:23,270
How are you feeling by the way though?
127
00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:24,510
That's the most important thing.
128
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:25,210
You were down.
129
00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:26,150
Yeah.
130
00:04:26,290 --> 00:04:30,230
I'd say energy level is 95%.
131
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:35,130
Head clarity, about 95%.
132
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:37,070
Snot quotient, very high.
133
00:04:40,130 --> 00:04:42,490
You're still like just pumping out the snot
134
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:43,450
for no apparent reason.
135
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:43,770
Oh man, yeah.
136
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:45,370
I've been using the mute button a lot
137
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:46,210
this week.
138
00:04:46,210 --> 00:04:46,850
Oh, okay.
139
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,770
Yeah, sneezing and snottering.
140
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:49,330
Yeah, it's okay.
141
00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:54,490
But whenever you say I'm down, that clearly
142
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:56,010
means you are in bad shape.
143
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:56,750
Yeah.
144
00:04:57,070 --> 00:04:57,230
Yeah.
145
00:04:57,370 --> 00:04:58,630
You don't usually say that.
146
00:04:58,810 --> 00:05:00,550
Although for a while though, I was able
147
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:03,290
to do Alex Jones's voice really perfectly.
148
00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:05,510
I don't think I got any more, damn
149
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:07,050
it, I've got neuralgia.
150
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:07,430
Cold order.
151
00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:09,370
Yeah, I love Candace, but she's got it
152
00:05:09,370 --> 00:05:09,850
all wrong.
153
00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:10,930
Got it all wrong.
154
00:05:10,930 --> 00:05:11,850
We got all the documents.
155
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:13,070
We got the documents.
156
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,650
I've been telling you for years about this
157
00:05:14,650 --> 00:05:14,950
stuff.
158
00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:16,250
Oh, that's good.
159
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:16,710
Pretty good.
160
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:18,150
Pretty close, pretty close, yeah.
161
00:05:18,890 --> 00:05:22,290
This, yeah, everybody around me has it.
162
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:23,870
You know me.
163
00:05:24,010 --> 00:05:26,110
I mean, I'm like, I'm a virus magnet.
164
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:26,970
I get everything.
165
00:05:27,230 --> 00:05:29,550
You are a seething infected human resource.
166
00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:30,190
Yeah.
167
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:30,570
Usually.
168
00:05:32,050 --> 00:05:35,190
A little tupperware of pus and mucus.
169
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,950
But there's no- Wait, show title, Tupperware
170
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:39,550
of Pus.
171
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:40,070
Okay.
172
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:40,770
Got it.
173
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:41,350
That's great.
174
00:05:41,530 --> 00:05:43,210
Yeah, that'll really draw them in.
175
00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:43,630
Oh, yeah.
176
00:05:44,570 --> 00:05:46,770
But I mean, I usually get everything, but
177
00:05:46,770 --> 00:05:49,250
some, I mean, people are just sick all
178
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:52,110
around me for weeks now, and I'm immune.
179
00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:53,430
I don't know what is going on.
180
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:55,950
That is interesting, because Tina stayed away from
181
00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:57,890
me, and because, you know, when she's sick,
182
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:00,130
then she gets really sick.
183
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:02,050
So she didn't get it, but we were
184
00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:03,610
on no agenda yesterday.
185
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:06,490
I guess ABC got the big pharma bucks
186
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:07,570
for this week or something.
187
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:09,590
So they were just like, super flu, who's
188
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:10,110
got the flu?
189
00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:10,990
Who's got the flu?
190
00:06:11,410 --> 00:06:13,090
We got people dying from the flu.
191
00:06:14,110 --> 00:06:17,550
And they admitted in the report that the
192
00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:18,670
science got it wrong.
193
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:21,290
They guessed on the wrong influenza this year.
194
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,790
So if you got the flu shot, it's
195
00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:24,510
not gonna help.
196
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:26,290
But the best thing you can do, the
197
00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:27,950
best thing you can do right now is
198
00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:28,710
get the flu shot.
199
00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:29,730
I swear to God.
200
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:34,030
It's not gonna help, but you should go
201
00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:34,610
ahead and get it anyway.
202
00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:37,870
I'm telling you, it's the craziest thing.
203
00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:40,550
Cool, that's good reasoning.
204
00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:43,870
I had a bit of, I don't know
205
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:47,050
if an epiphany is the right word, but
206
00:06:47,050 --> 00:06:49,290
for the past, I don't know, it's been
207
00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:51,730
months now, there's been all this talk of
208
00:06:51,730 --> 00:06:55,570
HLS video, alternate enclosures, which is all fine.
209
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:56,650
I'm all good with it.
210
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:58,890
And I decided to look a little, and
211
00:06:58,890 --> 00:07:00,650
the one thing I've heard is, well, Apple
212
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:02,190
doesn't support HLS video.
213
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:05,430
Of course, and if Apple doesn't support it,
214
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:06,430
no one's ever gonna do it.
215
00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:07,090
It'll never happen.
216
00:07:07,190 --> 00:07:08,470
We're all gonna fall, we're all gonna die.
217
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:16,310
And I was thinking that HLS audio, if
218
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:19,690
there was ever a way to differentiate podcasting,
219
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:21,930
and I'm talking about the podcast industrial complex,
220
00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:26,470
because I'm here for everybody, and I have
221
00:07:26,470 --> 00:07:28,090
no dog in the hunt.
222
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:32,050
But when you, if you, and I don't
223
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:35,330
know exactly the reasons why this hasn't been
224
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:40,510
discussed, but if we put HLS audio in
225
00:07:40,510 --> 00:07:46,730
the alternate enclosure, which might actually motivate Apple
226
00:07:47,290 --> 00:07:52,890
to recognize the alternate enclosure, the Apple podcast
227
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:57,550
app loves HLS audio, has no problem with
228
00:07:57,550 --> 00:07:57,850
it.
229
00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:00,450
Wait, the Apple podcast app?
230
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:01,370
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
231
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:03,410
I'm pretty sure it does.
232
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:04,670
In the regular enclosure?
233
00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:06,730
In the regular enclosure, yeah.
234
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:08,890
They don't recognize the alternative enclosure.
235
00:08:09,870 --> 00:08:12,390
So you're telling me that the Apple podcast
236
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:15,150
app will read an HLS media type out
237
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:15,670
of the enclosure?
238
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:17,670
99% sure.
239
00:08:19,250 --> 00:08:22,450
And of course, most podcast apps do, because
240
00:08:22,450 --> 00:08:24,290
it's an MU38 file, right?
241
00:08:25,770 --> 00:08:26,330
Isn't that?
242
00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:27,130
Yeah, it's a playlist.
243
00:08:27,410 --> 00:08:27,970
Yeah, it's a playlist.
244
00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:32,650
Wouldn't that be a huge differentiator for the
245
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:36,210
quote unquote industry, if we were able to
246
00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:40,090
actually pinpoint if someone heard the ad?
247
00:08:40,330 --> 00:08:43,990
Because when you have HLS audio, you can
248
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:44,350
do that.
249
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:45,690
Yeah, yeah, mm-hmm.
250
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:47,850
What is this hemming and hawing you're doing
251
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:48,210
at me?
252
00:08:49,010 --> 00:08:53,630
No, no, I'm not eschewing you.
253
00:08:54,770 --> 00:08:56,010
I'm assenting.
254
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:00,230
That's a contemplative assent is what that is.
255
00:09:00,330 --> 00:09:03,570
I mean, because everyone's talking about HLS video.
256
00:09:04,570 --> 00:09:06,550
Why not do HLS audio?
257
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:09,390
Because then you could finally deliver to the
258
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:11,290
advertisers what they really want.
259
00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:14,030
Now, I believe no one wants to push
260
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:16,870
for it because, oh my God, when they
261
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:19,470
find out that they're just counting downloads and
262
00:09:19,470 --> 00:09:22,090
they're not actually listening, we're going to lose
263
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:22,470
out.
264
00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:24,930
But I would say the opposite.
265
00:09:26,430 --> 00:09:29,590
Let me pop your bubble, though.
266
00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:33,470
I don't think it's necessary to pinpoint the
267
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:36,990
ads because that's already done with range requests
268
00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:37,930
if you're talking about streaming.
269
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,240
But no one's reporting that.
270
00:09:47,380 --> 00:09:49,660
They're only reporting downloads, or am I incorrect?
271
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:52,780
I mean, I'm talking about- No, they're
272
00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:53,540
accounting for it.
273
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,100
They're accounting for it.
274
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,360
It's part of the IAB measurement standard is
275
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,100
how to handle a range request.
276
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,920
I don't know how they tie that back
277
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,880
to ads, like at the slots and all
278
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,260
that stuff.
279
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:07,180
I don't know about that.
280
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,880
I just thought if we could move the
281
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,020
industry away from downloads only, which is, as
282
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:16,880
far as I know, is still the metric,
283
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:20,540
instead of we can tell you exactly who
284
00:10:20,540 --> 00:10:25,180
heard your host read ad or whatever, DAI
285
00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:26,340
or whatever, it's all fine.
286
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:31,400
But really being able to pinpoint here's how
287
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,080
many people heard your ad, I think that
288
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,600
your CPMs would go up, like dramatically.
289
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,880
So what's your...
290
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Okay, so let me see if I can
291
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,720
replay this back to you.
292
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:49,740
You're, so you're saying if we had, if
293
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:53,940
there was an HLS audio, and I think
294
00:10:53,940 --> 00:10:56,400
you could do, you could do MPEG-3
295
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,720
over HLS, I think.
296
00:10:58,060 --> 00:10:58,820
Yeah, sure you can.
297
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,080
Yeah, okay, so you can do MP3 over
298
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,260
H.
299
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,840
So if you're saying something like MP3 over
300
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,260
HLS, that if that was the delivery format,
301
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:18,500
that then it would be, the default would
302
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,260
become streaming instead of downloading, and that would
303
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:26,280
make for broader attribution of ad placement.
304
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:28,400
It's all about attribution.
305
00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:29,940
I would say the way it would go
306
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:32,080
is if we had a couple of hosts,
307
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:34,640
and I think there's a few, that would
308
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,220
provide an alternate enclosure, because I'm trying to
309
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:40,380
accomplish a few things at once, an alternate
310
00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:46,020
enclosure with HLS MP3, then we could offer
311
00:11:46,020 --> 00:11:50,680
a nice sample to advertisers based upon the
312
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,080
modern podcast apps that would implement this by
313
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,100
serving up, so you can still download.
314
00:11:57,140 --> 00:11:58,640
And so everything is extra.
315
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,260
It's more file storage.
316
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,880
It's more, I mean, there's a lot more
317
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,660
work for everybody, but you could then offer
318
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,260
maybe five or six different podcast apps that
319
00:12:10,260 --> 00:12:12,820
would give you a sample of how many
320
00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:14,260
people heard your ad.
321
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,440
You can extrapolate that into whatever formula you
322
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,500
want, but it might actually spur Apple to
323
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:24,560
recognize the alternate enclosure.
324
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:29,260
And once we have that, then we have
325
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:30,860
all kinds of fun stuff we can do.
326
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:32,820
Does that make sense?
327
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,100
Yes, I follow your reason.
328
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:37,900
Yeah, I follow your chain of reasoning.
329
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:43,180
It feels, see, it feels, I don't know.
330
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,020
And I see where you're going, but it
331
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:47,020
seems like they would be more likely to
332
00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:49,640
tie it to a new feature rather than
333
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,820
an invisible, already sort of mostly supported feature,
334
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,360
because then you get something new.
335
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,740
Well, the problem is you can't just switch
336
00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:05,560
to HLS MP3 for everybody, because you're gonna
337
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,180
break all kinds of stuff.
338
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,020
Yeah, for sure.
339
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,860
You know, the bots that go out and
340
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:14,200
look at stuff, you get size issues, you
341
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,920
know, how many bytes, all kinds of stuff
342
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,920
breaks if you do that.
343
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,460
Yeah, but what I'm saying is if you
344
00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:23,660
have like, I feel like an Apple or
345
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:25,820
a Spotify or somebody like that would be
346
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:28,640
more likely to adopt video HLS in the
347
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,720
alternate enclosure than audio HLS, because they, just
348
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,700
thinking from their terms, they've already got the
349
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:41,020
audio part nailed down, you know, that.
350
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:44,400
Now, I think, I just don't think they
351
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,320
would want to do like an invisible feature.
352
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,360
Well, I'm trying to create something that is
353
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,300
unique to audio podcasting for the apps versus
354
00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:00,220
everybody trying somehow to catch up and compete
355
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:01,980
with YouTube, which you can't.
356
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,120
You can't, you just can't.
357
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,440
No, no.
358
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280
So why waste all this time, energy and
359
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,800
money on sending out video, which people are
360
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,980
just gonna watch video and YouTube and TikTok
361
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:16,820
and et cetera, et cetera.
362
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:19,600
Why not create something unique that is unique
363
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,760
for advertisers?
364
00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:23,120
Because that's what it comes down to for
365
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,200
the complex.
366
00:14:25,140 --> 00:14:29,840
But see, YouTube is just a different thing.
367
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,560
It's not.
368
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,480
When it comes to where the money's going,
369
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,240
it's not.
370
00:14:35,260 --> 00:14:37,400
But when it comes to the way that
371
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:43,740
people, what people choose to listen to or
372
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:47,680
watch, like when it, because when it comes
373
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,780
to listening to a podcast, I go to
374
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:52,760
my podcast app.
375
00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:54,540
When it comes to audio books, I go
376
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:55,360
to Audible.
377
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,720
When it's, you know, when it's something, but
378
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
when it's something other than that, I go
379
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,320
to YouTube.
380
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:06,200
But yeah, exactly.
381
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:07,120
You just said it.
382
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:10,420
But that's not the crisis the industry feels
383
00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:10,900
it's in.
384
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,840
Listen to the most recent episode of Podcast
385
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,700
Weekly Review.
386
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:17,960
Oh, I haven't heard it yet.
387
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,460
Oh yeah.
388
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200
Well, it's, if we don't do video, podcasting
389
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,820
is gonna die.
390
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,780
Now, I don't agree with that, but I
391
00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:32,040
understand the motivation to take what it must
392
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,660
to shoehorn video into podcast apps, which I
393
00:15:35,660 --> 00:15:36,760
just think is a mistake.
394
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,720
I've said this before.
395
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,380
I don't care.
396
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,280
It's fine if we do it, that's okay.
397
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,640
But you're not gonna win.
398
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:45,960
You're not gonna beat free YouTube hosting for
399
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,460
your podcast.
400
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,840
People will release an MP3 podcast and they're
401
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,320
gonna put it on YouTube or Rumble or
402
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:52,780
wherever.
403
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:56,560
So I just don't see, instead of fighting
404
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,360
that, why not offer something more to the
405
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,700
advertising industry that gives them a good, warm
406
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:05,920
feeling about audio?
407
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:12,490
I'm trying to see the aspects.
408
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:14,370
I'm trying to see something in what you're
409
00:16:14,370 --> 00:16:16,990
talking about that makes sense to me.
410
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:19,830
And I think I may see a little
411
00:16:19,830 --> 00:16:20,210
bit of something.
412
00:16:20,530 --> 00:16:23,910
So if you're, the one thing that HLS
413
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:30,670
would have that the other, that MP3 delivery
414
00:16:32,570 --> 00:16:35,530
out of whole cloth, as it were, doesn't
415
00:16:35,530 --> 00:16:38,310
have right now, or it would be the
416
00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:41,250
ability to stream ads, I think in a
417
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,030
more simplistic way.
418
00:16:44,050 --> 00:16:46,510
My understanding of the way the stack works
419
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:49,270
on the hosting side when there's dynamic ad
420
00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:53,170
insertion is, and somebody can correct me if
421
00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:55,690
I'm wrong, but my understanding of the way
422
00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:58,210
it works is that the hosting company has
423
00:16:58,210 --> 00:16:59,350
the source audio.
424
00:16:59,610 --> 00:17:01,950
So they have, you as the podcaster upload,
425
00:17:02,170 --> 00:17:04,569
and I'm talking about as a host, if
426
00:17:04,569 --> 00:17:05,609
you're using a hosting company.
427
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:08,450
So you would upload it to, let's say,
428
00:17:08,530 --> 00:17:08,950
Blueberry.
429
00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:14,510
Blueberry hands it off to Soundstack, hands that
430
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:16,970
MP3 file off to Soundstack, which does some
431
00:17:16,970 --> 00:17:22,230
insertion, some ad insertion, and then delivers it
432
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:22,730
back.
433
00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:25,109
With the ads baked in.
434
00:17:25,410 --> 00:17:27,170
Well, you're talking about ad insertion.
435
00:17:27,329 --> 00:17:29,430
I think that's a race to the bottom.
436
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:31,750
I still think host-read ads are more
437
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:35,490
valuable, but are very difficult to track when
438
00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:37,670
you're talking about inserted ads.
439
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:40,390
The industry has inserted ads kind of figured
440
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:43,290
out, but if you want to make more
441
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:46,630
money at a higher CPM, that's when HLS
442
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:48,030
becomes a magic bullet.
443
00:17:49,770 --> 00:17:51,670
So you're not talking about DAI.
444
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:53,570
You're talking about something that's baked in.
445
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:53,910
Yeah.
446
00:17:54,830 --> 00:17:55,990
During the recording.
447
00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:56,690
Yeah.
448
00:17:57,290 --> 00:17:58,450
DAI is crap.
449
00:17:58,630 --> 00:18:00,630
That's, you know, it's $3 CPM.
450
00:18:00,970 --> 00:18:02,390
It's going all the way down to the
451
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:02,730
toilet.
452
00:18:03,090 --> 00:18:03,890
Of course.
453
00:18:04,930 --> 00:18:07,370
And that's why it's not valuable.
454
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:09,650
The host-read ads are very valuable, but
455
00:18:09,650 --> 00:18:11,710
they've fallen, as far as I can tell,
456
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:12,770
a little bit out of favor.
457
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:16,450
You know, Joe Rogan has solved that by
458
00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:19,530
interrupting the show five times an hour and
459
00:18:19,530 --> 00:18:22,710
jamming in some ads that sound like they're
460
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:24,430
read by him, but they might not even
461
00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:24,730
be.
462
00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:28,170
You know, and I'm sure they track that
463
00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:28,510
too.
464
00:18:28,890 --> 00:18:31,370
But the natural flow, if we step back,
465
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:34,390
you know, five years and we have someone
466
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:37,750
host-read ad, which is always, always going
467
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:39,650
to have a higher CPM, but that you
468
00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:41,630
can actually track it, how many people heard
469
00:18:41,630 --> 00:18:44,090
it, just seems like that would be better.
470
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:48,590
Side note real quick.
471
00:18:49,290 --> 00:18:52,810
If you're, if you are a, a big
472
00:18:52,810 --> 00:18:59,430
audio production podcast, podcast or, or, or otherwise,
473
00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:03,510
why would you not, with the current voice
474
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:07,030
cloning technology, why would you not just hire
475
00:19:07,030 --> 00:19:12,390
a staff member to do all of your
476
00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:16,770
ad reads with a cloned voice on your
477
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:17,170
behalf?
478
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:18,730
That way you never have to read a
479
00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:19,230
lick anymore.
480
00:19:19,230 --> 00:19:20,150
Because they suck.
481
00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:23,370
But, but they, they're, they're use 11 labs
482
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:24,070
or something like that.
483
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:26,550
I've, I've tried 11 ads, 11, 11, 11
484
00:19:26,550 --> 00:19:26,950
labs.
485
00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:27,430
It sucks.
486
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:30,410
It's not consistent, you know, it's no, it's
487
00:19:30,410 --> 00:19:31,870
not great at, at cloning.
488
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:33,870
It's just not, none of it is.
489
00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:37,170
Couldn't you have, couldn't you read, have somebody
490
00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:40,210
reading it, but then it's just making you
491
00:19:40,210 --> 00:19:41,470
sound like the other person?
492
00:19:41,470 --> 00:19:43,430
Yeah, but that, that second part you said,
493
00:19:43,530 --> 00:19:45,970
making you sound like it, it, in, in
494
00:19:45,970 --> 00:19:48,230
reality, it doesn't really work that well.
495
00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:49,450
Oh, okay.
496
00:19:49,910 --> 00:19:51,210
Or it sounds dead.
497
00:19:51,530 --> 00:19:53,370
Hey, what is the problem?
498
00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:54,690
Just read the ad.
499
00:19:55,810 --> 00:19:57,090
But they don't want to.
500
00:19:57,170 --> 00:19:59,010
Well, that's, that's a different issue.
501
00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:01,710
But if I'm paying for Joe Rogan, I
502
00:20:01,710 --> 00:20:02,870
want to hear Joe Rogan.
503
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:08,170
I mean, the whole relationship with advertising, Dan,
504
00:20:08,410 --> 00:20:11,390
I don't, I don't know if you've listened
505
00:20:11,390 --> 00:20:13,710
to the latest media round table.
506
00:20:14,330 --> 00:20:15,930
No, I haven't heard it.
507
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:16,850
I haven't heard it, no.
508
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:20,930
He was interviewing these, these two girls from
509
00:20:20,930 --> 00:20:23,770
Girls Gone Bible podcast.
510
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:27,750
I already like it.
511
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:31,830
I'm sure these are nice.
512
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:35,170
I'm sure these are nice young ladies, but
513
00:20:35,170 --> 00:20:39,670
the, the questions about their relationship, you know,
514
00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:43,310
and they're, they're, you know, they're Christians and
515
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:43,830
that kind of thing.
516
00:20:43,850 --> 00:20:48,390
But the, the sort of like tortured relationship
517
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:52,970
that they were trying to work through with,
518
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:59,210
with, with advertisers, it just, it hurt my
519
00:20:59,210 --> 00:20:59,730
heart.
520
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:02,830
Wait, before you continue, I just want you
521
00:21:02,830 --> 00:21:04,050
to hear 11 Labs.
522
00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:06,490
An ad, an ad from Adam Curry.
523
00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:07,810
Okay, here we go.
524
00:21:08,010 --> 00:21:10,550
This is Adam Curry and you're eating farmer's
525
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:11,050
dog.
526
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:12,990
That's, that's terrible.
527
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:14,430
He's number two.
528
00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:17,150
This is Adam Curry and you're eating farmer's
529
00:21:17,150 --> 00:21:17,630
dog.
530
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:20,190
See, that's, that's my voice, but it sounds
531
00:21:20,190 --> 00:21:20,830
like crap.
532
00:21:21,690 --> 00:21:23,430
Yeah, it doesn't sound like anything you would
533
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:24,010
do.
534
00:21:25,670 --> 00:21:27,370
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
535
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:29,190
That's like you, that's like you own steroids
536
00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:29,530
or something.
537
00:21:29,530 --> 00:21:30,830
I don't know what it is.
538
00:21:30,910 --> 00:21:31,850
It's no good.
539
00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:33,830
All right, back to the Bible ladies.
540
00:21:34,330 --> 00:21:35,870
Oh yeah, the girl's gone Bible.
541
00:21:37,390 --> 00:21:40,830
They, I guess what, you know, like one,
542
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:44,670
they were, they said the same like thing
543
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:46,270
that we hear from most podcasts.
544
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:50,070
I can't, again, I'm not criticizing them.
545
00:21:50,150 --> 00:21:51,330
This is just kind of what you have
546
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:51,810
to do.
547
00:21:53,650 --> 00:21:56,290
The, every podcaster you will hear, you will
548
00:21:56,290 --> 00:21:59,310
hear says the same thing when it was
549
00:21:59,310 --> 00:22:01,570
related, when, when they're talking about their relationship
550
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:02,290
to advertisers.
551
00:22:02,290 --> 00:22:03,610
They're like, if I don't believe in the
552
00:22:03,610 --> 00:22:06,150
product, I'm not going to talk about it
553
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:06,690
on my show.
554
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:07,550
You're right.
555
00:22:08,570 --> 00:22:10,830
Exactly, and we all, we all sort of
556
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,570
internally eye roll that because we're like, look,
557
00:22:13,650 --> 00:22:16,970
man, if somebody offers you a lucrative ad
558
00:22:16,970 --> 00:22:19,150
deal, you're not, you're going to, you're going
559
00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:20,910
to make it say, what you're going to
560
00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:22,550
do is you're going to, you're going to
561
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:23,590
love farmer's dog.
562
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:24,670
It's going to taste great.
563
00:22:25,230 --> 00:22:26,750
You're going to make yourself love it.
564
00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:27,470
Yes, of course.
565
00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:29,970
You may, you may not be lying to
566
00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:31,750
the audience, but you may be lying to
567
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:32,270
yourself.
568
00:22:32,530 --> 00:22:33,070
Oh man.
569
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:35,410
And to Jesus, which is even worse.
570
00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:38,470
Well, and the, the, the, the, the thing
571
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:40,370
that made me just sort of literally, you
572
00:22:40,370 --> 00:22:43,490
know, just laugh out loud was that it
573
00:22:43,490 --> 00:22:44,950
got to a point where Dan Granger was
574
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:48,510
like, do you have a, do you have
575
00:22:48,510 --> 00:22:49,970
an example of a certain type of that
576
00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:50,390
or whatever?
577
00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:52,150
And she's in one of the girls was
578
00:22:52,150 --> 00:22:53,790
like, yeah, you know, yeah, there was this
579
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:55,730
great mattress that they, you know, that we
580
00:22:55,730 --> 00:22:56,210
loved.
581
00:22:56,730 --> 00:23:00,770
And, uh, um, uh, what was it again?
582
00:23:01,410 --> 00:23:02,890
Like loved it so much.
583
00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:03,970
I don't remember what it was.
584
00:23:04,450 --> 00:23:05,750
And she was like, is she pitched to
585
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:06,210
the other girls?
586
00:23:06,330 --> 00:23:07,290
Like, what, what was the name of that
587
00:23:07,290 --> 00:23:07,650
mattress?
588
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:10,310
And the other girl was like, um, I
589
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:11,990
can't really remember right this second.
590
00:23:12,030 --> 00:23:12,590
Give me a minute.
591
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,870
Neither one of them could remember this, this,
592
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:17,570
this mattress that they quote unquote loved.
593
00:23:17,670 --> 00:23:18,070
Yeah.
594
00:23:18,370 --> 00:23:18,690
Yes.
595
00:23:18,790 --> 00:23:22,510
It's I'm like, man, this is this relay,
596
00:23:22,510 --> 00:23:30,300
this advertising relationship thing is so, I mean,
597
00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:32,340
I understand, I think I understand what your
598
00:23:32,340 --> 00:23:33,480
motivation here is.
599
00:23:33,540 --> 00:23:35,060
Your motivation is a technical one.
600
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:35,960
I want to help people.
601
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:37,200
I know my motivations.
602
00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:39,180
I want to help people because they're stuck
603
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:41,500
in this loop of video and I can
604
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,260
just see it coming down Broadway.
605
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,540
It's going to be meh.
606
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,380
Yeah.
607
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,960
It's this, you know, put a lot of
608
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,820
effort into it.
609
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,360
Okay.
610
00:23:51,060 --> 00:23:53,540
I've sort of been in, for some reason
611
00:23:53,540 --> 00:23:56,560
I've gotten into, uh, to, in addition to
612
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,580
the girl's gone Bible, I've gotten into a
613
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:04,520
couple of other, like what we call gen
614
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Y women podcasts.
615
00:24:07,340 --> 00:24:09,520
Oh, is this an only fans thing?
616
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,800
No, no, no, no, no, sorry.
617
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,940
So I'm, I'm writing a, I'm writing a,
618
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:20,820
and I'm writing an app for a, I
619
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:21,300
say an app.
620
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,260
I'm writing an application that will help people
621
00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:25,500
monitor the index.
622
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,240
Uh, so I started, I was hoping to
623
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,840
have it ready today, but it just did
624
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,900
not come together in time, but it's like
625
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:34,740
a, it's, so it's a, it's a console
626
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:37,040
app that you can run in a terminal
627
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,300
and it will, it will use the, the
628
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:41,680
recent feeds in point.
629
00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:44,760
And the goal of this application is going
630
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,780
to be to help people run it on
631
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:47,280
their machine.
632
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,700
It's a crap trap, a crap trap.
633
00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:50,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
634
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,300
And so you, you run the application, it'll
635
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,840
give you a whole, it will show you
636
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,340
all the new feeds that are coming into
637
00:24:57,340 --> 00:24:59,200
the index in nearly real time.
638
00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:02,240
You can, and you use your own neural
639
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,260
networking to determine what's crap.
640
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,040
You can triage it.
641
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:06,320
Yeah.
642
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,380
You can, you can hook, you can hook
643
00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:10,440
your own functions into it and that kind
644
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,620
of thing in order to do like lots
645
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:14,960
of people can do all kinds of cool
646
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,300
stuff with it and then feed that.
647
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,240
If you have a public read, write key
648
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,320
API key for the index, you can feed,
649
00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:24,140
you'll be able to feed that triage back
650
00:25:24,140 --> 00:25:25,760
into the index to let us know whether
651
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,380
something, what, what type of stuff this is.
652
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:28,940
I like it.
653
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,680
The dashboard.
654
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:30,920
It's a dashboard.
655
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,000
It's a dashboard.
656
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,060
And for, and so I've been listening.
657
00:25:34,180 --> 00:25:36,360
So part of the, what this app does
658
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:40,280
is you, um, you can just like cursor
659
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,020
around on these new feeds and you can
660
00:25:42,020 --> 00:25:44,280
hit the P button and it'll just play
661
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,340
the latest enclosure.
662
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:46,740
Oh, awesome.
663
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:49,780
So you can listen and try to, cause
664
00:25:49,780 --> 00:25:52,080
sometimes you think something's AI, but you're not
665
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,420
sure.
666
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,720
So you can play a sample of it.
667
00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:55,040
Yeah.
668
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:59,480
And I got, I've been listening to, Ooh,
669
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,940
there's some good stuff apparently.
670
00:26:02,140 --> 00:26:03,700
Oh, there's some great stuff in here.
671
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,500
But man, if you just watch the fire
672
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:07,320
hose, yikes.
673
00:26:07,660 --> 00:26:08,560
Oh, I'm sure it's fun.
674
00:26:08,740 --> 00:26:11,260
I love looking at pod ping dot, uh,
675
00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:14,620
tiles or whatever is the, I love seeing
676
00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:15,780
the new stuff update.
677
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:18,560
I almost wish I had like a, like
678
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,140
a radio button that would you could just
679
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:23,600
like listen to 30 seconds of each one
680
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,800
as they're coming in.
681
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,640
That'll be the first thing I vibe code
682
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,120
the minute you release this console.
683
00:26:30,940 --> 00:26:33,880
So like, this is a, this is another,
684
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,500
uh, I I'm calling them Gen Y girl
685
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:38,460
type thing.
686
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Uh, I sent you some clips.
687
00:26:40,860 --> 00:26:43,260
Uh, the one, the one I listened to
688
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:46,760
yesterday was, uh, she's, she's like a therapist
689
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,360
or something.
690
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,840
And she's giving, there's all kinds.
691
00:26:49,020 --> 00:26:52,320
I've got multiple little tidbits of advice that
692
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,320
she's giving, that I will just sprinkle throughout
693
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:54,720
the show.
694
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:56,620
What is the name of this much?
695
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:58,320
What is the name of this podcast?
696
00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:00,280
I don't even remember.
697
00:27:00,460 --> 00:27:02,780
It was something so generic that I don't
698
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:03,240
even remember.
699
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,540
It was like success for life.
700
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:06,940
I don't even know.
701
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:07,420
Okay.
702
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,360
I don't remember what her name was.
703
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,180
It's like the mattress.
704
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,080
It's like the mattress is so good.
705
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:14,660
This, I clipped it, but I don't remember
706
00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:15,540
the name of the show.
707
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:15,940
Okay.
708
00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:18,040
All I had was the enclosure download.
709
00:27:18,140 --> 00:27:19,540
That's all I remember from this thing.
710
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,140
It came from your, from your console basically.
711
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Yeah.
712
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:23,980
Okay.
713
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:24,700
I got you.
714
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:24,920
Yeah.
715
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:27,580
For a little sample of this, let's listen
716
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:28,940
to her advice on success.
717
00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:31,780
You send someone an email because you would
718
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:33,740
like them on your podcast.
719
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:36,600
By the way, she's using the same microphone
720
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,740
Mitch Downey's using.
721
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,680
You send someone an email because you would
722
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,500
like them on your podcast or blog or
723
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:47,100
like some kind of collaboration, right?
724
00:27:47,180 --> 00:27:49,840
You send them an email because you want
725
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,280
to collab in some shape, way or form,
726
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,660
whether whatever.
727
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:53,020
Okay.
728
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,140
And you don't hear back from them and
729
00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:56,000
you're like, okay, whatever.
730
00:27:56,380 --> 00:27:57,760
And you just give up on yourself, but
731
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,360
you haven't really gotten an answer.
732
00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:01,660
So the door's open, right?
733
00:28:01,940 --> 00:28:05,220
There's sometimes when you send stuff and people
734
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:07,660
don't respond, but you don't never not follow
735
00:28:07,660 --> 00:28:10,080
up because you want to get an answer,
736
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:10,440
right?
737
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,040
And to see whether the door is closed
738
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,360
and or at least mostly closed, right?
739
00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:17,880
Cause then you can be like, okay, I'll
740
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,100
reach out in six months time or whatever.
741
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:20,560
Right.
742
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:21,000
Right.
743
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,000
And like get back on their radar.
744
00:28:24,220 --> 00:28:24,500
Right.
745
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:26,100
But for now you know that the radar
746
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,220
is closed and you're complete with that versus
747
00:28:28,220 --> 00:28:30,720
you doing a half ass job and only
748
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,320
reaching out once that is leaking success because
749
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,260
you're leaking the possibility of more success because
750
00:28:36,260 --> 00:28:38,380
you haven't followed up on something with someone.
751
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:40,000
This goes for like when you're applying for
752
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,500
jobs too.
753
00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:41,820
Like if you really want a job at
754
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:45,240
a certain place, then you want to follow
755
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,840
up, you know, you want to keep applying.
756
00:28:46,940 --> 00:28:50,720
You want to like get into it somehow.
757
00:28:52,780 --> 00:28:56,640
Now, do you consider that a good advice?
758
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,360
No, but I, I considered a valid podcast.
759
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,500
That's for sure.
760
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:02,980
It's a great pod.
761
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:04,560
I'd listen to it this from time to
762
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,280
time, just a little bit, like a sampling.
763
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:06,740
Sure.
764
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,940
Oh, I listened to three episodes of it
765
00:29:09,940 --> 00:29:11,480
and I still have no idea what her
766
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,000
name is.
767
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,920
I couldn't stop listening to it.
768
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,460
It was great.
769
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:16,040
Well, I mean I was, I was getting
770
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,340
ISO.
771
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,020
I could have hit you with 75 ISOs
772
00:29:19,020 --> 00:29:19,560
from this podcast.
773
00:29:19,580 --> 00:29:21,380
Well, I want to hear the donation segment
774
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:23,200
advice because is that from her?
775
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:24,180
Yeah.
776
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:25,600
Oh, the donation segment.
777
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Oh, I'm sorry.
778
00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:26,940
Okay.
779
00:29:27,180 --> 00:29:27,800
And it's all right.
780
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:28,380
I got you.
781
00:29:28,420 --> 00:29:28,980
I got you.
782
00:29:29,020 --> 00:29:29,560
I got you.
783
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,460
No, you can, you can, uh, great.
784
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,700
You can hit the ISO though.
785
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:33,280
Yeah.
786
00:29:34,140 --> 00:29:34,700
Okay.
787
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,220
I'm actually terrible at like tabs on my
788
00:29:37,220 --> 00:29:37,600
computer.
789
00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:43,730
There was, there was a hundred of those.
790
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:49,790
You know, I'm thinking all of it, you
791
00:29:49,790 --> 00:29:51,670
know, I have streaming on my mind, right?
792
00:29:52,450 --> 00:29:56,090
So I'm thinking, wouldn't it be great to
793
00:29:56,090 --> 00:29:59,390
have a 24 seven live stream that just
794
00:29:59,390 --> 00:30:03,270
plays 30 seconds of every new episode that
795
00:30:03,270 --> 00:30:05,470
hits the recent API end point?
796
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:07,350
That would be horrible.
797
00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:08,390
No, no.
798
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:10,270
It's a discovery mechanism, baby.
799
00:30:11,030 --> 00:30:13,530
This is K you're, you're an agent of
800
00:30:13,530 --> 00:30:13,810
chaos.
801
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:14,590
I am.
802
00:30:14,690 --> 00:30:16,570
Uh, this is, uh, this is actually, I'm
803
00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:18,110
kind of liking this idea now.
804
00:30:18,230 --> 00:30:20,370
I mean, anything that's streaming, I'll listen to
805
00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:20,530
it.
806
00:30:20,530 --> 00:30:23,570
It's like streaming, streaming crap is fantastic.
807
00:30:23,770 --> 00:30:24,470
I, yeah.
808
00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:25,830
Okay.
809
00:30:25,970 --> 00:30:28,930
I can't wait for this radio chaos podcast.
810
00:30:29,050 --> 00:30:29,150
Right?
811
00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:29,630
Yes.
812
00:30:29,630 --> 00:30:31,530
Well, people are always looking to be discovered.
813
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:32,990
Well, there you go.
814
00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:35,290
Well, and just one other thing before we
815
00:30:35,290 --> 00:30:37,370
bring our very patient guests on.
816
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:38,170
Yeah.
817
00:30:38,450 --> 00:30:41,050
Um, and I think this was a thread
818
00:30:41,050 --> 00:30:43,350
and I can't remember exactly who started it,
819
00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:45,970
but it was about the, um, you know,
820
00:30:45,970 --> 00:30:48,790
kind of a follow on to, uh, change
821
00:30:48,790 --> 00:30:51,670
my feed or my podcast, this or whatever
822
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:52,550
we were talking about.
823
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:52,950
Yeah.
824
00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:53,190
Yeah.
825
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:55,850
Move your podcast or I got a sneeze.
826
00:30:57,410 --> 00:30:58,850
Go, go, go.
827
00:30:59,530 --> 00:31:00,670
It didn't happen.
828
00:31:00,870 --> 00:31:02,170
It's when you, when you have to sneeze
829
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:03,870
and you say it and then it doesn't
830
00:31:03,870 --> 00:31:04,190
happen.
831
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:04,870
That's the worst.
832
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:09,030
Um, what is, so I don't know where
833
00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:10,250
it's some, it came up somewhere.
834
00:31:10,350 --> 00:31:13,390
Someone said, what about a verified check Mark?
835
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,780
You know, instead of saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
836
00:31:17,780 --> 00:31:18,080
yeah.
837
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:21,880
You know, to verify your feed and then
838
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,100
have a check Mark type system.
839
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:28,500
People love doing that.
840
00:31:29,420 --> 00:31:31,400
I'm just, I remember I was trying to
841
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680
say, how do we market this idea that
842
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,020
people actually do this?
843
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,720
But what if the index became the place
844
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,020
where you could check to see that a
845
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:40,780
feed was verified?
846
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:41,700
I had it just yesterday.
847
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,500
Someone emailed me, say, I'm listening to this,
848
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:46,360
you know, I'm subscribed to Alex Jones.
849
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,060
Um, can you check and see if this
850
00:31:50,060 --> 00:31:51,040
is the right one?
851
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:51,980
And it wasn't.
852
00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:54,340
So there's someone who added a bogus feed.
853
00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:57,420
It was from Spreaker, you know, a feed
854
00:31:57,420 --> 00:32:01,000
hijack and I successfully merged it in with
855
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:01,840
the official feed.
856
00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:03,020
I was pretty proud of myself.
857
00:32:03,740 --> 00:32:05,860
Um, and I was thinking, you know, wouldn't
858
00:32:05,860 --> 00:32:08,160
it be great if, if you had that
859
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,500
check Mark and you could always verify it,
860
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,080
uh, on podcast index and we could do
861
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,160
some auto verification through the hosts, maybe even
862
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,460
with an iTunes ID.
863
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:20,500
You know, we look, who else is going
864
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:21,260
to do it?
865
00:32:21,660 --> 00:32:24,480
You know, we're, we're trusted enough as far
866
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,400
as you can throw us.
867
00:32:25,460 --> 00:32:26,620
I mean, here we are, we're in our
868
00:32:26,620 --> 00:32:28,840
sixth year, we're in our sixth year, you
869
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,280
know, we're not making any money off of
870
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:30,520
this.
871
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:31,340
It's just running.
872
00:32:31,580 --> 00:32:32,460
It's just there.
873
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,720
We do this podcast.
874
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,260
Why?
875
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,200
I don't even know.
876
00:32:35,340 --> 00:32:36,700
I like, I don't even know anymore.
877
00:32:36,860 --> 00:32:38,080
I like talking to you.
878
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:40,020
I mean, it's like, I like talking to
879
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:42,100
Dave, you know, give a chance to connect,
880
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,720
but we could be that place.
881
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,920
You know, podcastindex.org could be a verified
882
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,560
place.
883
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,020
You could, you could expose an API, see
884
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:52,280
if it's verified, et cetera.
885
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,200
And then when people find something that's checkmarked
886
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,280
and it's not theirs, they freak out, but
887
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,620
they have an easy way to come into
888
00:32:58,620 --> 00:32:58,900
us.
889
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,820
We look at the dashboard, the crap trap.
890
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,340
Oh, bam, you good pop up.
891
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:05,860
You know, it could be, we could provide
892
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:09,120
that service and that might clean up a
893
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,080
lot of different stuff.
894
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,640
I mean, let's not wait for someone else
895
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,440
to build a website.
896
00:33:12,580 --> 00:33:14,240
We have the website, we have everything you
897
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,580
need.
898
00:33:16,020 --> 00:33:16,500
Yeah.
899
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:16,660
Yeah.
900
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:18,880
I think this, that actually kind of fits
901
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,380
with, with a similar to something I was
902
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:25,720
thinking, which was I feel like it's a
903
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,700
need to actually put a decent dashboard into
904
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,720
podcast index now.
905
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,380
And I know how to do it now
906
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:34,880
because I have a good, I finally have
907
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,580
a good PHP framework, Laravel that I'm, that
908
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:42,400
I'm, that I'm now just very familiar with.
909
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,900
And, um, I got multiple projects under my
910
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:46,160
belt.
911
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,180
So I think, I think you're right.
912
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:49,760
I think that's a good idea.
913
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Just cause I've been one, I've been trying
914
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,040
to figure out how to like do the
915
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,240
beginning of this thing that we've been talking
916
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,260
about for the last few weeks.
917
00:33:57,340 --> 00:33:59,180
And now you feel it, you feel it.
918
00:33:59,420 --> 00:33:59,820
Yeah.
919
00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:01,420
I'm starting to see, it's starting to, to
920
00:34:01,420 --> 00:34:04,300
sort of like solidify in my, in my
921
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:06,720
mind what the beginning of it looks like.
922
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,300
And I think it begins with just a
923
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,760
new dashboard that would allow people to come
924
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,520
and interact like what we've been talking about.
925
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,639
People who actually own the podcast, they can
926
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:20,920
go log in, have an account and do
927
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,659
the management of it themselves.
928
00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:23,159
Wow.
929
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,400
Wow.
930
00:34:24,460 --> 00:34:25,360
That's hardcore.
931
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,780
You think so?
932
00:34:26,980 --> 00:34:28,280
I think it's great.
933
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,060
Manage, manage, manage your check Mark.
934
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,500
I don't think it's actually that hard.
935
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:36,820
I'm just saying having, having a check Mark,
936
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,139
you know, a verified flag, whatever it is,
937
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,159
people will go for that.
938
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:43,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
939
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:44,239
I think you're right.
940
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,980
And if the result is that we clean
941
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:48,860
up the index and subsequently everybody else can,
942
00:34:48,860 --> 00:34:52,520
can clean up their own directories through us,
943
00:34:53,060 --> 00:34:54,420
that would be fantastic.
944
00:34:55,940 --> 00:34:56,340
Yeah.
945
00:34:56,420 --> 00:34:58,400
And I, I think we can kind of,
946
00:34:59,020 --> 00:35:01,180
yeah, that's, this is the next step we
947
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:01,400
need.
948
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,940
And then we'll, and then we'll figure out
949
00:35:02,940 --> 00:35:05,000
how to sort of like disseminate that in
950
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,140
a decentralized way where, you know, where it
951
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:11,420
can be, you know, a tag or something
952
00:35:11,420 --> 00:35:12,080
like that.
953
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:14,280
No, man, we just dumped the whole table
954
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,760
into a Tor file, a torrent, a torrent.
955
00:35:19,780 --> 00:35:20,660
That's popular.
956
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,220
Yeah.
957
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:22,740
Torrent.
958
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,220
Just a thought.
959
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,500
But on your HLS thing real quick, you
960
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:30,560
know, I forgot to bring up, but it's
961
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,040
the first thing here in my notes is
962
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,540
finally there's HLS native support in Chrome.
963
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,160
Oh really?
964
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:38,200
Yes.
965
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,360
So Chromium added native HLS support in the
966
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,300
video tag.
967
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,900
I'm assuming the audio tag too, because underneath
968
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:49,700
the hood in Chromium, audio and video tags
969
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:53,840
are both just clones of the media tag.
970
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,180
So they should both have support for this
971
00:35:58,180 --> 00:35:58,420
now.
972
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,840
So the train is rolling.
973
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:01,360
Nothing stops this train.
974
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,140
Hmm.
975
00:36:02,540 --> 00:36:02,720
Yeah.
976
00:36:02,780 --> 00:36:05,260
So, I mean, if that's, if we're going
977
00:36:05,260 --> 00:36:08,180
to do HLS, this is good.
978
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:12,620
This would pressure web kit to support it
979
00:36:12,620 --> 00:36:14,760
in the video in, in their native audio
980
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,500
video tags.
981
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,100
And they may, that might just make things
982
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:17,720
trickle down.
983
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,500
I think it's, yeah, I think things are
984
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,000
moving fondly on the HLS front.
985
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,840
Well, the one thing we've learned is these
986
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,640
things take, well, we already knew this.
987
00:36:26,660 --> 00:36:28,900
These take, things take a lot of time
988
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:29,780
forever.
989
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:31,640
And, and that's just what it is, but
990
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,880
we're in this for the long haul.
991
00:36:33,020 --> 00:36:34,500
We're doing it for humanity.
992
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:35,800
We're not doing it for us.
993
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:39,700
And for some reason, you and I like
994
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:41,080
each other enough to keep doing it.
995
00:36:41,140 --> 00:36:42,080
So that's kind of good.
996
00:36:44,420 --> 00:36:46,300
It's just that this show is just a
997
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:46,500
check.
998
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,980
It's just a plus a lot on the
999
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:48,260
calendar.
1000
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:48,720
That's right.
1001
00:36:48,780 --> 00:36:50,260
It's just another thing I do.
1002
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,240
You know, I go to church, do the
1003
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:54,020
show with Dave, walk the dog.
1004
00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:55,280
You know, it's just one of those things
1005
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:55,520
you do.
1006
00:36:55,740 --> 00:36:56,680
Hey, let's bring in our guests.
1007
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,060
They've been waiting very patiently as we've been
1008
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:01,060
yammering about here, but we haven't heard from
1009
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:02,120
them in a long time.
1010
00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:03,920
Boardroom, please.
1011
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,060
Welcome the, from the new Podverse web alpha
1012
00:37:07,060 --> 00:37:08,380
and Podverse legacy.
1013
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,180
Here are Mitch and Archie.
1014
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,340
Howdy.
1015
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,140
Hey, what's up guys?
1016
00:37:14,740 --> 00:37:15,740
There it is.
1017
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,420
It was Archie first, then Mitch.
1018
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:18,440
Hey guys, how are you doing?
1019
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,180
Happy new year.
1020
00:37:19,780 --> 00:37:20,380
Happy new year.
1021
00:37:21,460 --> 00:37:22,040
Doing good.
1022
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:22,680
Happy new year.
1023
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:25,700
So I told you, Mitch, you have a
1024
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:29,120
career, uh, as a Gen Y podcast lady.
1025
00:37:33,820 --> 00:37:36,140
Less vocal fry and upspeak though.
1026
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:36,900
Well, that's true.
1027
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,440
Do you have, there's all of a sudden,
1028
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,240
there's some extra audio artifacts that are coming
1029
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:41,780
down the line.
1030
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,200
You have a fan.
1031
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,380
It could be that the, uh, radiant heat
1032
00:37:46,380 --> 00:37:47,960
in my building has just turned on.
1033
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:50,400
So this is going to be a rough
1034
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,220
experience.
1035
00:37:51,220 --> 00:37:53,140
He's got steam gauges.
1036
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:56,160
Just kind of like alpha, you know, this
1037
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,420
is an aesthetic choice.
1038
00:37:57,580 --> 00:38:00,100
It's a, a rough product right now.
1039
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,220
I think it would probably help to hear,
1040
00:38:04,260 --> 00:38:07,140
uh, to hear Gen Y ladies advice on
1041
00:38:07,140 --> 00:38:07,640
something.
1042
00:38:08,780 --> 00:38:10,420
Oh, uh, sorry.
1043
00:38:10,540 --> 00:38:11,060
I missed the cue.
1044
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,300
Just getting into the habit of closing things
1045
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,020
like closing the door on things.
1046
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:18,140
So we're not leaking our energy thought awareness
1047
00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:21,540
and thought process on things into things that
1048
00:38:21,540 --> 00:38:23,240
like, we don't need to be in them.
1049
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:24,280
If that makes any sense.
1050
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Wow.
1051
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:27,360
Did you get that?
1052
00:38:27,740 --> 00:38:28,260
Wow.
1053
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:28,740
Yeah.
1054
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,660
She's great.
1055
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:40,040
Uh, anyway, let's get back to our guests
1056
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,680
because, um, Mitch has been started kind of
1057
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,560
ramping up posting on podcast index dot social
1058
00:38:47,370 --> 00:38:50,780
in the last couple of months, uh, after
1059
00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:54,520
some absence, it seems, uh, maybe just bring
1060
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,360
us up to speed, Mitch, what's been going
1061
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,840
on with you and Archie and what's been
1062
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,680
happening in the background and, uh, and, uh,
1063
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,980
and tell us about the web alpha and
1064
00:39:03,980 --> 00:39:05,820
just, just bring us up to speed, man.
1065
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,560
It's been a long time since we spoke.
1066
00:39:09,020 --> 00:39:09,500
Sure.
1067
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,500
Well, um, 2024, I was pretty burnt out
1068
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:18,780
on, uh, software development, uh, after, you know,
1069
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,860
nine years of doing open source software.
1070
00:39:21,580 --> 00:39:24,300
Uh, I just didn't, uh, have it mentally
1071
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,660
to be able to focus and, uh, take
1072
00:39:27,660 --> 00:39:29,000
progress to the next level.
1073
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,700
Um, I also knew that a big rewrite
1074
00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:36,860
was needed to take it to where I
1075
00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:37,500
wanted to be.
1076
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,860
And I feel like 2024 was just like
1077
00:39:40,860 --> 00:39:44,460
a lot of processing and resetting, uh, to
1078
00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:47,140
be able to be up for the task.
1079
00:39:47,580 --> 00:39:51,020
Uh, 2025, uh, progress has been very good.
1080
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:55,640
Uh, we have basically like 90% of
1081
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,780
the infrastructure complete for the next generation Podverse.
1082
00:39:59,980 --> 00:40:01,440
So a lot of the work that's done
1083
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,720
isn't necessarily visible with, uh, what's on the
1084
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:07,420
website right now, but it's there.
1085
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:10,240
And, um, it think the pieces are falling
1086
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,080
together quickly.
1087
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,880
Uh, so yeah, we have the website currently
1088
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,700
at alpha.podverse.fm, uh, which is a
1089
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:20,080
live demo for people to get a preview
1090
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,080
of what is coming soon.
1091
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,860
So if I understand correctly, you are developing
1092
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:32,020
the new Podverse app by creating the whole
1093
00:40:32,020 --> 00:40:36,540
infrastructure first and exposing that on the web.
1094
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,480
Yes.
1095
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,200
Uh, so Podverse one, uh, the legacy version
1096
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,760
that started, well, technically it started in like
1097
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,500
2015, but, uh, that new infrastructure started in
1098
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:53,120
2019 before Podcasting 2.0 existed.
1099
00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:55,880
So I had a lot of assumptions built
1100
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,260
into that, what people know of as Podverse
1101
00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:02,980
today that had no concept of Podcasting 2
1102
00:41:02,980 --> 00:41:06,220
.0, uh, no concept of music ever being
1103
00:41:06,220 --> 00:41:07,740
a part of it, for example.
1104
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,600
Um, and so developing with it was always
1105
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,360
kind of fighting against all these root assumptions
1106
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,860
I made about what a podcast is and
1107
00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:20,060
what Podverse would do.
1108
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,060
Now, this new version is, uh, from the
1109
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:27,480
ground up built to align with the Podcasting
1110
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,440
2.0 namespaces.
1111
00:41:29,900 --> 00:41:32,620
Um, and there's all kinds of technical reasons
1112
00:41:32,620 --> 00:41:35,360
why it's a better way to do it.
1113
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,720
And it will allow us to easily integrate
1114
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:40,160
these features going forward.
1115
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,940
Eric, by the way, Mitch, Eric PP says,
1116
00:41:45,020 --> 00:41:46,240
it sounds like you're in the shower.
1117
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:46,680
He is.
1118
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,260
I think he is taking a pod shower.
1119
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,260
I cannot stop the radiators that are controlled
1120
00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:54,540
by my landlord.
1121
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,380
So he has some, uh, uh, leaf blowers
1122
00:41:59,380 --> 00:42:00,260
outside of his house.
1123
00:42:00,420 --> 00:42:02,100
So it's going to be a rough ride.
1124
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,460
No, instead of listening to a podcast in
1125
00:42:04,460 --> 00:42:06,340
the shower, do a podcast in the shower.
1126
00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:07,120
That's the best.
1127
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,340
That's the better alternative.
1128
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:10,020
But you know, I just wanted to tell
1129
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:11,520
you, Mitch, just, and I just brought it
1130
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,700
up on op3.dev. If you look at
1131
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:16,360
the apps that are used for the no
1132
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,740
agenda show, the 35.35% is Apple
1133
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:21,180
podcast.
1134
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,420
That's the top number two Podverse 14.67.
1135
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,460
So you're number two on my list, man.
1136
00:42:30,860 --> 00:42:31,500
That's something.
1137
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:33,640
I mean, that's, I think that's awesome.
1138
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,280
Yeah, that is a, and I moved to
1139
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:36,860
a different room.
1140
00:42:36,980 --> 00:42:37,640
Hopefully it's.
1141
00:42:37,860 --> 00:42:38,040
Oh yeah.
1142
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,240
That made all the difference.
1143
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:40,320
Okay.
1144
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:40,680
Good.
1145
00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:44,920
Um, yeah, the, uh, it, that, that's been
1146
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,540
one of the most encouraging things is to
1147
00:42:46,540 --> 00:42:49,020
see how popular Podverse is with the no
1148
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:49,940
agenda audience.
1149
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:54,620
Um, and like we aren't necessarily the most
1150
00:42:54,620 --> 00:42:57,520
popular podcast app, but we're very popular with
1151
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,740
certain audiences and we get a lot of
1152
00:42:59,740 --> 00:43:02,180
appreciation from those audiences.
1153
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,380
And so it helps us know that we're
1154
00:43:04,380 --> 00:43:05,420
on the right track.
1155
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,600
What do you, why do you think, why
1156
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:07,580
do you think that is?
1157
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,460
What, what, what do you think it is
1158
00:43:09,460 --> 00:43:10,260
that does that?
1159
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,960
I think it's mostly, uh, you recommending a
1160
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:17,900
podcast apps.
1161
00:43:18,140 --> 00:43:20,100
And, uh, for whatever reason, a lot of
1162
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:22,000
people are choosing Podverse.
1163
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,240
They're going, you know, through a new podcast
1164
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:25,480
apps.com.
1165
00:43:26,220 --> 00:43:28,940
Um, and it's mostly word of mouth.
1166
00:43:29,060 --> 00:43:31,500
It seems to be, um, that this is
1167
00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:34,740
a direction we want to lean into, uh,
1168
00:43:34,780 --> 00:43:36,140
with marketing going forward.
1169
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,220
I mean, we want to reach everyone, but
1170
00:43:38,220 --> 00:43:41,920
we also are like happy to deliver the
1171
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,280
best experience possible for like specific shows and
1172
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,480
their audiences, uh, to, you know, to like
1173
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,940
podcasting, 2.0 features may not have, uh,
1174
00:43:53,300 --> 00:43:54,960
you know, it might be a small number
1175
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,700
of feeds today that use these features, but
1176
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,220
for those shows, we want to deliver the
1177
00:44:00,220 --> 00:44:03,380
best experience possible to be the best app
1178
00:44:03,380 --> 00:44:04,420
for that purpose.
1179
00:44:04,420 --> 00:44:06,340
You know, I think that's a really good
1180
00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:06,820
idea.
1181
00:44:07,420 --> 00:44:09,620
Uh, and I've always found it curious that
1182
00:44:09,620 --> 00:44:13,740
podcast apps don't work more or at all
1183
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:19,240
with, with podcasts, podcasters, you know, we've always
1184
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:23,940
had this kind of, um, you know, like,
1185
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:25,700
well, it has to be fair for everyone.
1186
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,180
It has to be equal for everybody.
1187
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:28,880
And I, I just don't, you know, I've,
1188
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:31,020
I've given my Rachel Maddow example in the
1189
00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:31,380
past.
1190
00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:33,280
It's like, why?
1191
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,860
You know, uh, it's like fountain.
1192
00:44:35,980 --> 00:44:38,480
Fountain has a very specific audience and I
1193
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,160
think they're very successful for that audience.
1194
00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:42,840
So, yeah.
1195
00:44:42,860 --> 00:44:45,100
And that's pretty much the philosophy we're going
1196
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:48,800
with, with a pod verse is, uh, we're
1197
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,620
designed first for these, you know, a future
1198
00:44:51,620 --> 00:44:53,900
forward podcasting 2.0 feeds.
1199
00:44:53,980 --> 00:44:58,520
We will have support for legacy feeds, but
1200
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,280
they're not our priority to the same degree
1201
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,260
as the podcasting 2.0 feeds.
1202
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,460
Are like, for example, alternate enclosure is at
1203
00:45:07,460 --> 00:45:09,180
the root of our architecture.
1204
00:45:09,180 --> 00:45:11,860
We don't even have a traditional enclosure.
1205
00:45:11,860 --> 00:45:14,260
We like convert it into an alternate enclosure.
1206
00:45:14,820 --> 00:45:18,140
Like we use these design patterns that are
1207
00:45:18,140 --> 00:45:19,600
2.0 focus.
1208
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,440
Oh, okay.
1209
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:21,900
Interesting.
1210
00:45:22,140 --> 00:45:22,320
Yeah.
1211
00:45:22,460 --> 00:45:23,440
I like that.
1212
00:45:24,340 --> 00:45:27,640
What, how are you, this, this is interesting
1213
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,460
from a person, from the perspective I think
1214
00:45:29,460 --> 00:45:32,760
of many developers, not just podcast app developers,
1215
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,020
but anybody who has a forward facing a
1216
00:45:36,020 --> 00:45:40,880
web service or application that when you come
1217
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,700
to the point of deciding that you're going
1218
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:47,300
to do a rewrite, it's always the first
1219
00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:49,780
question is in, in what order do we
1220
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:50,520
do things in?
1221
00:45:50,620 --> 00:45:52,680
Like you have a, you have the quote
1222
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,780
unquote stack that represents the full application from
1223
00:45:57,780 --> 00:45:59,900
the, from the user, what the user sees
1224
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:01,320
all the way through and through to the
1225
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,040
data storage at the, at the very end
1226
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:03,660
of the chain.
1227
00:46:04,260 --> 00:46:06,960
How do you, where do you choose what
1228
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,340
pieces to push in and out and change
1229
00:46:10,340 --> 00:46:12,300
out and swap out in the stack first
1230
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:13,700
and what order to do them in?
1231
00:46:13,780 --> 00:46:15,400
Like where did, how did you figure that
1232
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:15,600
out?
1233
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:20,320
Well, it seemed the logical starting point for
1234
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,740
me was to do a one to one
1235
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:24,680
matching with the 2.0 spec.
1236
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,360
So it was the data schema that came
1237
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,040
before everything else and parsing.
1238
00:46:30,860 --> 00:46:33,920
And then from there making the parsing as
1239
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,160
efficient as possible.
1240
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:40,160
But so, yeah, I mean, I don't know
1241
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,800
how to explain it without getting too technical,
1242
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,080
but like our data schema is pretty much
1243
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,040
a one to one match with these join
1244
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,820
tables with all the different XML fields that
1245
00:46:50,820 --> 00:46:54,500
are, you know, a part of RS, RSS
1246
00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:54,940
feeds.
1247
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:56,460
At some point.
1248
00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:58,220
Are you, so you, you, you seem to
1249
00:46:58,220 --> 00:47:00,300
be running two separate systems right now.
1250
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,460
The new one and the old one.
1251
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,960
Is that accurate?
1252
00:47:03,580 --> 00:47:04,060
Yes.
1253
00:47:04,820 --> 00:47:05,260
Yes.
1254
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,540
So I decided to go with a totally
1255
00:47:08,540 --> 00:47:10,500
green field environment.
1256
00:47:11,420 --> 00:47:13,120
There will be a great migration.
1257
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,020
There will be a migration someday, which I
1258
00:47:18,020 --> 00:47:19,300
think will be feasible.
1259
00:47:20,540 --> 00:47:22,180
I love migrations.
1260
00:47:24,020 --> 00:47:27,600
But, you know, in order to, to work
1261
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,780
with the legacy one, it was just so
1262
00:47:29,780 --> 00:47:33,760
there was just so many problems with it,
1263
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,780
just like I said, those rude assumptions that
1264
00:47:35,780 --> 00:47:40,300
I'm constantly battling and poor coding patterns and
1265
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:41,680
I'm now a better coder now.
1266
00:47:43,620 --> 00:47:45,980
So it was just like, all right, just
1267
00:47:45,980 --> 00:47:48,060
do the green field and we'll figure it
1268
00:47:48,060 --> 00:47:50,180
out eventually how to migrate it.
1269
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,920
So for now we're trying to make the
1270
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,700
website as good of a standalone product as
1271
00:47:56,700 --> 00:47:57,220
possible.
1272
00:47:57,660 --> 00:48:00,740
I mean, it's plausible that somebody could deploy
1273
00:48:00,740 --> 00:48:05,080
this software for a website before we even
1274
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,860
have the mobile app done and that it
1275
00:48:07,860 --> 00:48:11,420
could be like a high quality website on
1276
00:48:11,420 --> 00:48:11,780
its own.
1277
00:48:12,060 --> 00:48:13,760
So this is all still open source, Mitch.
1278
00:48:14,220 --> 00:48:15,680
Oh yeah.
1279
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,020
All open source.
1280
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:17,980
I love it, man.
1281
00:48:18,140 --> 00:48:18,380
Of course.
1282
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,120
You're really, really doing a lot.
1283
00:48:20,420 --> 00:48:21,740
I wouldn't be motivated without it.
1284
00:48:22,020 --> 00:48:24,260
So this is, I've always been that way.
1285
00:48:24,540 --> 00:48:25,960
And I should say right off the bat,
1286
00:48:26,060 --> 00:48:28,160
the Godcaster app use a lot of your
1287
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:28,580
framework.
1288
00:48:28,740 --> 00:48:30,280
I believe Dave might know more.
1289
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,720
The, the React native part of the mobile
1290
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:35,940
app.
1291
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:36,100
Yeah.
1292
00:48:36,140 --> 00:48:38,560
I think it initially got things up and
1293
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:39,920
running, but I think he switched a lot
1294
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,660
of that code out now.
1295
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:42,760
I don't think there's anything that's still left
1296
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,160
in there, but yeah, it was a, it
1297
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,340
was a, it was a helpful thing to
1298
00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:47,020
bootstrap it.
1299
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,300
Yeah, it was for sure.
1300
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:49,540
So Archie.
1301
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:50,480
Yeah.
1302
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,560
I was going to say, this is a
1303
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,640
good point for Archie because he is helping
1304
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,400
with the operations and deployment side a lot.
1305
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,020
And he's taking us in a direction that'll
1306
00:49:00,020 --> 00:49:03,460
allow like to make self-hosting simple for
1307
00:49:03,460 --> 00:49:04,040
other people.
1308
00:49:04,620 --> 00:49:05,540
Oh, okay.
1309
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:06,740
Take it away, Archie.
1310
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,080
So I've been doing a bunch of DevOps
1311
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,200
stuff for the past several years for Podverse.
1312
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,660
Lately I got into Kubernetes K8s and I
1313
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:19,780
decided to move the entire infrastructure over to
1314
00:49:19,780 --> 00:49:23,000
that, which means with only a couple of
1315
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,660
files or repo, you could deploy your own
1316
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:27,040
Podverse on your own systems.
1317
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,400
I've also been including the idea too much
1318
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,240
about doing the podcast, podcaster specific apps so
1319
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:38,380
that not everybody will get to add a
1320
00:49:38,380 --> 00:49:39,640
podcast to these apps.
1321
00:49:40,220 --> 00:49:41,760
So you could have your feed or your
1322
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,520
app just with your stuff in it and
1323
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:44,160
nothing else.
1324
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,140
There'd have to be some white label stuff
1325
00:49:48,140 --> 00:49:50,080
done to make it prettier for everybody.
1326
00:49:50,540 --> 00:49:51,940
But at the end of the day you
1327
00:49:51,940 --> 00:49:54,140
could have your Rachel Maddow app just for
1328
00:49:54,140 --> 00:49:56,400
her and she could have the whole infrastructure
1329
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,540
just connected for that one person or podcaster.
1330
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,220
And it's easy enough that I've been able
1331
00:50:03,220 --> 00:50:05,920
to rebuild the whole thing in about 10
1332
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:06,220
minutes.
1333
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,380
Do you and Alex Gates live in the
1334
00:50:10,380 --> 00:50:11,040
same house?
1335
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:12,560
No.
1336
00:50:14,380 --> 00:50:16,860
Do you notice that Dave, how Archie's cadence
1337
00:50:16,860 --> 00:50:18,220
is very similar to Alex?
1338
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:19,420
That is.
1339
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:19,640
Yeah.
1340
00:50:19,660 --> 00:50:21,320
I think, I think these are, I think
1341
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,020
they're deeply technical people and I think they're
1342
00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:25,000
deep tech dudes.
1343
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:25,300
Yeah.
1344
00:50:25,420 --> 00:50:26,480
Very deep tech dudes.
1345
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:26,960
Yeah.
1346
00:50:28,140 --> 00:50:28,620
Explain.
1347
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:29,360
I don't understand.
1348
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,500
I don't fully understand what you mean, Archie.
1349
00:50:31,620 --> 00:50:34,560
What, when you say that you, that there's
1350
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,720
personal, a personalized sort of deployment for a,
1351
00:50:37,780 --> 00:50:41,120
for a particular person, what do you, can
1352
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:41,800
you explain that?
1353
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,740
So right now Alpha has the idea of
1354
00:50:44,740 --> 00:50:45,320
ad feed.
1355
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,080
And so if it doesn't exist, we don't,
1356
00:50:48,260 --> 00:50:50,480
we're not ingesting the entire index.
1357
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,480
We're only ingesting parts that people actually want
1358
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:53,980
to listen to.
1359
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,980
And if no one's listening to it or
1360
00:50:55,980 --> 00:50:57,660
subscribe to it, we'll get rid of it
1361
00:50:57,660 --> 00:51:00,060
and we'll use the podcast index as our
1362
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:01,860
backup to find things later if someone wants
1363
00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:02,260
it again.
1364
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:05,160
So the fee, when you start out, it's
1365
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,020
an empty blank slate.
1366
00:51:06,340 --> 00:51:08,020
And as you get more users and more
1367
00:51:08,020 --> 00:51:11,220
people or admins, et cetera, it will get
1368
00:51:11,220 --> 00:51:13,740
bigger and have only the things that actually
1369
00:51:13,740 --> 00:51:16,120
matter to the listeners of that podcast app
1370
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,500
or the admin of the podcast app.
1371
00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:19,420
Web app.
1372
00:51:19,620 --> 00:51:21,180
Oh, I see what you mean.
1373
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:22,720
So if I was going to deploy my
1374
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:25,500
own Podverse, then it would be a, it
1375
00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:28,000
would have a completely like a different complexion
1376
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,340
as far as content goes than, than the
1377
00:51:30,340 --> 00:51:32,440
main Podverse.fm. Yes.
1378
00:51:33,140 --> 00:51:33,580
Okay.
1379
00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:33,980
Yeah.
1380
00:51:33,980 --> 00:51:34,620
I got you.
1381
00:51:34,780 --> 00:51:35,280
So that way.
1382
00:51:35,580 --> 00:51:35,960
Yeah.
1383
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:36,280
Yeah.
1384
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:36,520
Yeah.
1385
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:38,660
That way we don't have to have 175
1386
00:51:38,660 --> 00:51:42,120
million podcasts in our podcast app.
1387
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,020
Just in case someone wants something from 10
1388
00:51:44,020 --> 00:51:46,160
years ago, we only need to have things
1389
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,180
that people need now.
1390
00:51:47,740 --> 00:51:49,700
And we could save a lot on storage
1391
00:51:49,700 --> 00:51:50,160
costs.
1392
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:51,780
Yeah.
1393
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,900
And I think, um, I mean, this is
1394
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:55,820
similar to what, I think this is similar
1395
00:51:55,820 --> 00:51:57,240
to what we did with Godcaster.
1396
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:58,120
We did the same thing.
1397
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,420
It's you, you have a, you know, we
1398
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:01,940
don't ingest the entire indexes.
1399
00:52:01,940 --> 00:52:05,960
It's only when somebody decides to add, you
1400
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,960
know, uh, a show that, that it actually
1401
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,500
gets into the content mix.
1402
00:52:10,580 --> 00:52:15,560
And, but I was thinking like, uh, I
1403
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,900
was thinking about this.
1404
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,440
If y'all, y'all have the, the
1405
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,120
thing that has impressed me the most about
1406
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,160
what you guys are doing with the next
1407
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,180
generation Podverse is the care that you're taking
1408
00:52:27,180 --> 00:52:28,900
with the database schema.
1409
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,460
And I'm wondering if podcast index should just
1410
00:52:34,460 --> 00:52:38,880
adopt your schema, you know, because we're, I'm,
1411
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:43,300
I'm actively thinking about, uh, the new structure
1412
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:44,000
of things.
1413
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,700
And, you know, you've, you've been helping with,
1414
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:47,740
uh, with, with the code as well, as
1415
00:52:47,740 --> 00:52:48,580
well as Eric PP.
1416
00:52:49,660 --> 00:52:52,580
Um, and so I wonder if you, you
1417
00:52:52,580 --> 00:52:54,840
know, if you already have, I don't, I'm
1418
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,160
not a Postgres guy, but I'm wondering if
1419
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,620
you already have the schema that you think
1420
00:52:59,620 --> 00:53:01,260
that y'all think is great.
1421
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,380
I mean, why, why would we not just
1422
00:53:03,380 --> 00:53:05,240
adopt that instead of trying to recreate the
1423
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:06,100
wheel all over again?
1424
00:53:08,550 --> 00:53:09,770
Well, we're happy to give you a tour
1425
00:53:09,770 --> 00:53:10,150
of it.
1426
00:53:10,330 --> 00:53:13,090
Um, the, like I said, it's, it's, it
1427
00:53:13,090 --> 00:53:14,790
attempts to be a one-to-one match
1428
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:15,710
with RSS.
1429
00:53:16,190 --> 00:53:18,190
Uh, if you can picture that just like
1430
00:53:18,190 --> 00:53:19,170
with join tables.
1431
00:53:19,250 --> 00:53:21,990
So there's like, uh, you've got a channel,
1432
00:53:22,110 --> 00:53:24,990
but then you also have a channel pod
1433
00:53:24,990 --> 00:53:28,130
role, and then you have channel pod role,
1434
00:53:28,230 --> 00:53:29,010
remote item.
1435
00:53:29,210 --> 00:53:33,550
And those are three separate tables and it's
1436
00:53:33,550 --> 00:53:36,670
just supposed to align with the RSS spec
1437
00:53:36,670 --> 00:53:39,850
because that is at the core, what pod
1438
00:53:39,850 --> 00:53:41,770
versus RSS app.
1439
00:53:41,930 --> 00:53:44,850
You also do, um, the time split.
1440
00:53:46,350 --> 00:53:46,950
Yep.
1441
00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:47,610
Yes.
1442
00:53:47,710 --> 00:53:48,610
We have remote items.
1443
00:53:48,710 --> 00:53:49,030
Perfect.
1444
00:53:49,730 --> 00:53:50,030
Yes.
1445
00:53:50,030 --> 00:53:52,110
We have all of the data being parsed
1446
00:53:52,110 --> 00:53:52,610
and saved.
1447
00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:53,590
That is all finished.
1448
00:53:53,590 --> 00:53:55,850
It's just a matter of bringing the features
1449
00:53:55,850 --> 00:53:56,930
into the apps now.
1450
00:53:57,410 --> 00:53:58,310
Now you did something real.
1451
00:53:58,350 --> 00:53:59,890
It's really amazing to do this.
1452
00:54:00,790 --> 00:54:03,130
I mean, not many podcast app developers would
1453
00:54:03,130 --> 00:54:05,870
go this route and say, okay, we're just
1454
00:54:05,870 --> 00:54:06,970
going to redo it all.
1455
00:54:09,140 --> 00:54:09,320
Yeah.
1456
00:54:09,420 --> 00:54:11,200
Well, it's been a big undertaking.
1457
00:54:11,620 --> 00:54:15,320
Um, but I'm living off some savings at
1458
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:15,740
the moment.
1459
00:54:15,740 --> 00:54:18,500
So I'm dedicating myself full-time to this.
1460
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:19,080
Wow.
1461
00:54:19,180 --> 00:54:20,660
Um, and it's exciting.
1462
00:54:20,660 --> 00:54:23,780
I, it's hard to explain to normal people
1463
00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:27,060
why this is so exciting, but I really
1464
00:54:27,060 --> 00:54:30,160
love working with this stuff and the, the
1465
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,260
vision of podcasting 2.0 can do so
1466
00:54:33,260 --> 00:54:33,740
much.
1467
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,260
And, you know, I don't want to be
1468
00:54:37,260 --> 00:54:39,840
bogged down by the talk of, Oh, this
1469
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:40,940
app doesn't support it.
1470
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:41,840
So we can't do this.
1471
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,760
It can't do that.
1472
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:45,600
Like to me, pod versus just the way
1473
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,440
to move forward.
1474
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,040
Uh, you know, the specs are sound in
1475
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,780
the, you know, we know it can work,
1476
00:54:51,780 --> 00:54:52,940
so let's just do it.
1477
00:54:53,380 --> 00:54:56,280
And the rest of the industry can catch
1478
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,280
up if they want.
1479
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,120
So it'll be a reference app for all
1480
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:00,420
things.
1481
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:02,800
Podcasting 2.0. Yes.
1482
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:03,340
Wow.
1483
00:55:04,260 --> 00:55:05,320
That's very cool.
1484
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,280
Eric PP's asking some stuff in the, in
1485
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,200
the boardroom that I'm, that I'm curious about
1486
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:10,700
as well.
1487
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:16,200
Cause, um, the way you described it, the
1488
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,780
way you described your database layout is that
1489
00:55:19,780 --> 00:55:22,140
if I understand you is that you have
1490
00:55:22,140 --> 00:55:29,500
basically every, every 2.0 tag is a
1491
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:32,960
two additional tables, the table for the tag
1492
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,100
content itself, and then a pivot table to
1493
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:35,940
get to it.
1494
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,280
Is that right?
1495
00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:42,590
Um, I think so.
1496
00:55:43,130 --> 00:55:46,010
I don't, I'm not really fluent at speaking
1497
00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:51,050
about databases, but I mean, like I said
1498
00:55:51,050 --> 00:55:53,070
with the example, like in this spec, we
1499
00:55:53,070 --> 00:55:54,890
have a channel element and then we have
1500
00:55:54,890 --> 00:55:56,970
channel and we have a pod role that
1501
00:55:56,970 --> 00:55:58,390
is nested within a channel.
1502
00:55:58,850 --> 00:56:01,270
And then we have remote item, which is
1503
00:56:01,270 --> 00:56:04,090
nested within pod role.
1504
00:56:04,690 --> 00:56:06,990
And so from our spec, that would be
1505
00:56:06,990 --> 00:56:09,270
three tables joined together.
1506
00:56:09,810 --> 00:56:10,230
Okay.
1507
00:56:10,230 --> 00:56:10,830
Maybe I misunderstood.
1508
00:56:11,110 --> 00:56:13,510
So, so like for, in the, for instance,
1509
00:56:13,590 --> 00:56:16,890
um, a person tag in an item, uh,
1510
00:56:16,890 --> 00:56:19,930
in an episode, you would have, um, would
1511
00:56:19,930 --> 00:56:22,350
you have the episode, I'm assuming you have
1512
00:56:22,350 --> 00:56:24,850
an episodes table and then you would have
1513
00:56:24,850 --> 00:56:27,790
a person's table and then would you have
1514
00:56:27,790 --> 00:56:30,670
an episodes to person's linkage table?
1515
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,200
Um, yes.
1516
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,040
It depends.
1517
00:56:37,180 --> 00:56:39,020
I forget what the person tag is.
1518
00:56:39,140 --> 00:56:42,780
Uh, those aren't grouped under one tag, right?
1519
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:44,740
Those are the funding tag.
1520
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,420
Use that as an example, like a funding
1521
00:56:47,420 --> 00:56:47,940
tag.
1522
00:56:48,140 --> 00:56:50,740
If an item can have like five funding
1523
00:56:50,740 --> 00:56:53,460
tags, then the there'd be five rows in
1524
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:57,480
the item funding table that link to that
1525
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:57,940
item.
1526
00:56:58,840 --> 00:56:59,360
Okay.
1527
00:56:59,740 --> 00:57:02,520
Because that's the RSS spec, but you don't
1528
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,920
have like a third intermediary table that takes
1529
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,740
care of like linkage between the two.
1530
00:57:06,820 --> 00:57:09,540
There's just a reference in the funding table
1531
00:57:09,540 --> 00:57:12,520
that links back directly to the episodes table.
1532
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:13,900
I think so.
1533
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:14,240
Yes.
1534
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:15,600
Okay.
1535
00:57:15,740 --> 00:57:19,080
Can I just ask before Oystein Berger has
1536
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,400
a conniption, will you be supporting the live
1537
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,800
time splits live lit?
1538
00:57:27,380 --> 00:57:30,000
I would like to, I haven't seen the
1539
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,700
spec for it yet, but it's absolutely like,
1540
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,720
uh, if there is a adopted standard for
1541
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,880
it, we absolutely would like to do that.
1542
00:57:38,180 --> 00:57:38,720
Okay.
1543
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:40,120
This is really cool.
1544
00:57:40,180 --> 00:57:41,760
I, I can tell you right now that
1545
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,420
the whole idea of the white label, I
1546
00:57:44,420 --> 00:57:48,080
will definitely make a, uh, a no agenda,
1547
00:57:48,260 --> 00:57:50,160
uh, pod verse app.
1548
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:51,400
Hmm.
1549
00:57:52,300 --> 00:57:53,300
That's just cool.
1550
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,100
Kidding me.
1551
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:55,900
That's fantastic.
1552
00:57:56,060 --> 00:57:57,180
I love the whole idea.
1553
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,940
Archie, have you seen, uh, what have you
1554
00:58:01,940 --> 00:58:05,120
seen the Kubernetes switch do as far as
1555
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,320
like cost goes to y'all's system?
1556
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,820
So I haven't done that for on actual
1557
00:58:12,820 --> 00:58:13,400
VPS.
1558
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,080
I've done that in my local, it's on
1559
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,260
three, uh, machines with eight gigs and two
1560
00:58:18,260 --> 00:58:20,840
CPUs, uh, VPS.
1561
00:58:20,940 --> 00:58:23,520
So it's still going up and down.
1562
00:58:23,580 --> 00:58:24,680
It's kind of just through it.
1563
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,140
I started out doing some tests.
1564
00:58:27,300 --> 00:58:28,980
I'm going to actually throw another project into
1565
00:58:28,980 --> 00:58:32,580
the boardroom that I initially started out based
1566
00:58:32,580 --> 00:58:33,320
off of something else.
1567
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,820
Adam said, um, and I put that into
1568
00:58:36,820 --> 00:58:41,020
my Kubernetes cluster and it doesn't seem to
1569
00:58:41,020 --> 00:58:42,520
be too bad, but it's going to be
1570
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,060
probably just for our infrastructure, not the database,
1571
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,300
$36 a month, maybe 50.
1572
00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:50,680
Um, just the way it seems.
1573
00:58:50,820 --> 00:58:52,520
And then the database is as big as
1574
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,340
it needs because storage is the big problem.
1575
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,660
Um, and the thing I just posted just
1576
00:58:56,660 --> 00:58:58,600
to take that side note, Adam, this was
1577
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,860
for you specifically a flask app that checks
1578
00:59:01,860 --> 00:59:05,460
the end points of a specific RSS feed
1579
00:59:05,460 --> 00:59:09,060
page or MPEG, JPEG, MP3, et cetera.
1580
00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:11,500
Uh, so it just grabs them, checks them
1581
00:59:11,500 --> 00:59:13,340
and gets and make sure that they all
1582
00:59:13,340 --> 00:59:14,480
have the same hash.
1583
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:17,780
Vibe coders unite.
1584
00:59:18,820 --> 00:59:20,760
Thank you.
1585
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:21,600
That's awesome.
1586
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:22,740
Thank you very much.
1587
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:24,800
My flask app.
1588
00:59:24,940 --> 00:59:26,000
Basic off baby.
1589
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:27,060
It rocks.
1590
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,360
Yeah.
1591
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,400
Because that's the one thing that I've been,
1592
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,360
uh, concerned about, you know, we, I've been,
1593
00:59:33,460 --> 00:59:37,500
uh, talking to you forever about, uh, looking
1594
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:38,820
at our infrastructure and that kind of thing.
1595
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,900
And I'm, I'm, I'm never, I'm never able
1596
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:43,620
to, to put it together to get, to
1597
00:59:43,620 --> 00:59:44,700
get you in there to look at things.
1598
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:47,440
But that is one thing that I've been
1599
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,800
wondering about is how to, how to containerize
1600
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:55,020
things, uh, in a way that, that cause
1601
00:59:55,020 --> 00:59:57,400
I'm so caught, I'm so cost conscious.
1602
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,540
I mean, our, our overhead, you know, our
1603
00:59:59,540 --> 01:00:01,980
expenses every month are, are not insignificant.
1604
01:00:02,620 --> 01:00:05,200
And so, you know, we have, you know,
1605
01:00:05,260 --> 01:00:08,080
about probably if you add it all up,
1606
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,380
probably 15 grand worth of expenses a year
1607
01:00:10,380 --> 01:00:11,160
on the index.
1608
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,160
And, you know, so like making, I'm so
1609
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:21,000
worried about just accidentally blowing, you know, inflating
1610
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,140
our cost too much.
1611
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:24,740
And because that, that would be the worst
1612
01:00:24,740 --> 01:00:26,420
possible thing is all of a sudden we
1613
01:00:26,420 --> 01:00:29,060
have, we go from, you know, a thousand
1614
01:00:29,060 --> 01:00:32,880
dollars a month of, of fees to 1700.
1615
01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:34,820
It's like, well, we can't do that.
1616
01:00:34,940 --> 01:00:35,220
You know?
1617
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:36,880
I don't know.
1618
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,840
One of the biggest things for us when
1619
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,460
we had, uh, some cost realignments was switching
1620
01:00:42,460 --> 01:00:45,900
our file system off of ext4 to a
1621
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:48,000
copy on right file system like CFS with
1622
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,840
on the fly compression that significantly saved us
1623
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,260
money because we weren't writing, uh, as much
1624
01:00:55,260 --> 01:00:56,180
data to the disc.
1625
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,300
And then it was reading faster because it
1626
01:00:58,300 --> 01:00:59,320
was reading compressed data.
1627
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,600
That's on the database server.
1628
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:02,260
Yeah.
1629
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:04,000
Really interesting.
1630
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,040
So our database server was getting to like
1631
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,540
700, 800 gigs for Postgres.
1632
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,800
Um, I was able to get it down
1633
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,520
to about, I think we're up to 250
1634
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,340
now with a mirrored pair of, uh, discs.
1635
01:01:17,380 --> 01:01:17,860
Yikes.
1636
01:01:17,860 --> 01:01:18,860
800 gigs.
1637
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:19,300
Woo.
1638
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:20,940
That's a lot.
1639
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:22,640
That's like a whole blockchain, baby.
1640
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,400
Yeah, that's a man.
1641
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:25,880
That's big.
1642
01:01:26,020 --> 01:01:28,000
I don't think we're anywhere near that.
1643
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,120
I think we're like, I want to say
1644
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,840
they were like two 50 maybe on our
1645
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:33,800
date, on our database.
1646
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,460
Well, that's a problem we're trying to solve
1647
01:01:36,460 --> 01:01:39,780
with the new setup because, uh, the legacy
1648
01:01:39,780 --> 01:01:42,660
version is a full clone of the directory
1649
01:01:42,660 --> 01:01:44,680
of the podcast index directory.
1650
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,180
This one, I mean, I expect us to
1651
01:01:47,180 --> 01:01:49,620
cut our number of feeds by like 95
1652
01:01:49,620 --> 01:01:51,940
% in this new version.
1653
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,420
Um, and not to mention probably a lot
1654
01:01:55,420 --> 01:01:57,860
of schema problems I had with the first
1655
01:01:57,860 --> 01:01:59,820
version that should be cleaner now.
1656
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:04,140
So are you, are you taking your, uh,
1657
01:02:04,140 --> 01:02:06,960
if I'm a B, I've been like a
1658
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:11,120
B back and forth between, uh, normal pod
1659
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,160
verse and alpha pod verse.
1660
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,720
And you know, as far as UI goes,
1661
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,500
they look almost identical.
1662
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:22,000
And so did you just take your existing
1663
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,600
UI for now and just stick it on
1664
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,500
top of the new backend and then you're
1665
01:02:26,500 --> 01:02:27,880
going to do something with that later?
1666
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,660
No, the design will be very similar.
1667
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,520
Uh, this is an entirely new web app.
1668
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,820
Um, and there, the most of the changes
1669
01:02:37,820 --> 01:02:41,140
are, are ones that people wouldn't see, uh,
1670
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,100
just from the, uh, the surface.
1671
01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:47,040
Uh, for example, all the components of the
1672
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,020
website are now differentiated by medium type.
1673
01:02:50,500 --> 01:02:54,740
So we have podcasts episodes, we have albums,
1674
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,880
we have tracks, we have artists, uh, we
1675
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,800
have live streams in the legacy version.
1676
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,980
I tended to use like one component and
1677
01:03:05,980 --> 01:03:08,000
then like add a bunch of conditional statements
1678
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,320
to have it do different behaviors.
1679
01:03:11,020 --> 01:03:14,160
And that's handy in some ways, but it
1680
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,140
is restrictive and also becomes a headache when
1681
01:03:17,140 --> 01:03:19,780
you want to make, you know, an artist
1682
01:03:19,780 --> 01:03:22,140
or an album look different than a podcast
1683
01:03:22,140 --> 01:03:24,540
and you know, to the user.
1684
01:03:25,660 --> 01:03:28,200
So, uh, the front end is totally rewritten
1685
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,880
from scratch and it's way more modular so
1686
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,760
that we will be able to optimize the
1687
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,100
different music podcast, video, live stream experiences.
1688
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:40,520
Interesting.
1689
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:41,000
Okay.
1690
01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:42,020
Good.
1691
01:03:42,140 --> 01:03:45,460
It definitely, the alpha version definitely feels quicker.
1692
01:03:46,620 --> 01:03:49,220
Um, you know, it feels like it feels
1693
01:03:49,220 --> 01:03:53,140
like things, uh, parts of the site are
1694
01:03:53,140 --> 01:03:55,540
sort of coming, coming up fat in a
1695
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:56,700
more responsive way.
1696
01:03:58,140 --> 01:03:59,060
Yeah, it should.
1697
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,380
There are problems with the legacy site today
1698
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:04,780
that there are queries that just hang forever.
1699
01:04:04,980 --> 01:04:10,000
Unfortunately, um, that won't be a problem going
1700
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:10,640
forward.
1701
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,880
I don't expect that we have that all
1702
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,180
solved with proper indexing with our new schema.
1703
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:22,720
The one, um, the one drawback to having
1704
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:27,100
separate tables per sort of like a item
1705
01:04:27,100 --> 01:04:31,580
type is you tend to have more locking,
1706
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,580
you know, database locking as things cause, cause
1707
01:04:34,580 --> 01:04:38,920
that updating or deleting content in one table
1708
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,000
since you have just tons of linkage across
1709
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,460
tables tends to have this kind of logarithmic
1710
01:04:44,460 --> 01:04:45,300
ripple effect.
1711
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,180
Have you seen any of those kinds of
1712
01:04:47,180 --> 01:04:47,520
issues?
1713
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,220
Uh, we do.
1714
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,100
I have been mindful to try to avoid
1715
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:52,960
those situations.
1716
01:04:53,220 --> 01:04:57,180
Uh, we have transactions within the parser to
1717
01:04:57,180 --> 01:04:58,760
try to group things together.
1718
01:04:59,140 --> 01:05:03,880
Uh, we also use, uh, active MQ, uh,
1719
01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:07,340
which is we have D duplication to make
1720
01:05:07,340 --> 01:05:10,280
sure that the same feed cannot be getting
1721
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,860
parsed at the same time, which, uh, and,
1722
01:05:14,260 --> 01:05:16,600
and aside from that, there's aside from what
1723
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,280
goes to the parser, there shouldn't be any
1724
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,780
rights to these, you know, RSS tables.
1725
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:26,040
Uh, there's no way for the users to
1726
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:30,100
directly change these tables with their, their actions.
1727
01:05:30,860 --> 01:05:35,200
Uh, so the combination of a D duplicated,
1728
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,980
make sure there's only one parser per feed
1729
01:05:37,980 --> 01:05:41,960
running and there's no outside changes possible.
1730
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,580
We're hoping that that will avoid those sorts
1731
01:05:45,580 --> 01:05:46,160
of collisions.
1732
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,560
Can I talk, uh, money for a second?
1733
01:05:52,510 --> 01:05:53,350
Of course.
1734
01:05:54,730 --> 01:05:59,790
So it's very hard to have, uh, a
1735
01:05:59,790 --> 01:06:03,350
podcast app and actually make any kind of
1736
01:06:03,350 --> 01:06:05,170
financial return for it.
1737
01:06:05,610 --> 01:06:07,470
How's that been working in the past?
1738
01:06:07,550 --> 01:06:08,990
Are you going to keep that the same?
1739
01:06:09,190 --> 01:06:11,590
Uh, what are your ideas moving forward?
1740
01:06:13,350 --> 01:06:15,950
I think our ideas will be similar.
1741
01:06:16,190 --> 01:06:18,310
Our goal is to deliver a much better
1742
01:06:18,310 --> 01:06:21,170
optimized product to just be a top of
1743
01:06:21,170 --> 01:06:23,610
the line, elite listening experience.
1744
01:06:24,650 --> 01:06:27,950
Um, we do make revenue, which is encouraging.
1745
01:06:28,390 --> 01:06:33,110
Um, it's almost covers our annual expenses.
1746
01:06:34,550 --> 01:06:37,570
Um, I don't know how specific I should
1747
01:06:37,570 --> 01:06:39,370
be with numbers here, but we have like,
1748
01:06:39,550 --> 01:06:42,650
we have almost a thousand paying members.
1749
01:06:43,150 --> 01:06:43,270
Wow.
1750
01:06:43,390 --> 01:06:44,050
That's cool.
1751
01:06:44,290 --> 01:06:48,210
For pod verse, which, which is great.
1752
01:06:48,210 --> 01:06:51,290
And it's far from a full-time job
1753
01:06:51,290 --> 01:06:53,510
for us, which is the ultimate goal here.
1754
01:06:54,270 --> 01:06:58,330
Uh, that would be nice, but, but yeah,
1755
01:06:58,330 --> 01:07:00,970
we don't have like a novel, uh, payment
1756
01:07:00,970 --> 01:07:02,570
system going forward.
1757
01:07:02,570 --> 01:07:04,570
It's just try to make a much better
1758
01:07:04,570 --> 01:07:07,950
product and then we'll increase our marketing around
1759
01:07:07,950 --> 01:07:08,170
that.
1760
01:07:08,250 --> 01:07:12,630
I've always, um, I've had hesitation with marketing
1761
01:07:12,630 --> 01:07:14,710
the legacy product cause I'm so aware of
1762
01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:15,850
all the problems with it.
1763
01:07:16,410 --> 01:07:19,430
So now that this new version should have
1764
01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:21,470
all of that fixed, uh, like one of
1765
01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:23,550
them, namely being that the Android mobile app
1766
01:07:23,550 --> 01:07:27,510
experience is noticeably like less high quality.
1767
01:07:27,630 --> 01:07:30,450
There's more like clunkiness to our Android app
1768
01:07:30,450 --> 01:07:32,270
compared to our iOS app.
1769
01:07:32,410 --> 01:07:34,550
Um, so we're going to make sure that's
1770
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:35,450
fixed going forward.
1771
01:07:35,650 --> 01:07:37,370
So will there be a premium version with
1772
01:07:37,370 --> 01:07:38,270
premium features?
1773
01:07:38,330 --> 01:07:40,810
Just asking people to support you on a
1774
01:07:40,810 --> 01:07:42,290
monthly basis, regardless.
1775
01:07:43,470 --> 01:07:47,310
The premium, no, they'll get, um, some extra
1776
01:07:47,310 --> 01:07:48,490
features with premium.
1777
01:07:49,550 --> 01:07:52,250
I think one of the main features people
1778
01:07:52,250 --> 01:07:57,330
end up paying for is notifications because, I
1779
01:07:57,330 --> 01:07:59,670
mean, that's something that our backend service has
1780
01:07:59,670 --> 01:08:01,850
to handle and send all these push notifications
1781
01:08:01,850 --> 01:08:04,110
and register them to devices and stuff.
1782
01:08:04,830 --> 01:08:07,290
And when people use the app, if they
1783
01:08:07,290 --> 01:08:09,050
like it, it's like, well, there's this one
1784
01:08:09,050 --> 01:08:09,710
missing link.
1785
01:08:09,710 --> 01:08:11,530
I would really like to get notifications.
1786
01:08:11,530 --> 01:08:12,010
Right.
1787
01:08:12,550 --> 01:08:14,290
Um, that seems to be one of the
1788
01:08:14,290 --> 01:08:15,550
primary features.
1789
01:08:15,810 --> 01:08:17,029
You using Firebase for that?
1790
01:08:18,470 --> 01:08:19,990
We are using Firebase.
1791
01:08:20,370 --> 01:08:24,250
We also have a unified push integration, which
1792
01:08:24,250 --> 01:08:26,930
is like an open source way of, uh,
1793
01:08:27,850 --> 01:08:28,970
handling notifications.
1794
01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:30,710
Did you hear me ask that question, Dave,
1795
01:08:30,750 --> 01:08:31,609
with some authority?
1796
01:08:32,050 --> 01:08:32,729
That was good, right?
1797
01:08:33,729 --> 01:08:34,149
I did.
1798
01:08:34,290 --> 01:08:35,029
I'm impressed.
1799
01:08:36,050 --> 01:08:38,870
I want to jump in here about another
1800
01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:43,370
possible, uh, financial reason to support premium for
1801
01:08:43,370 --> 01:08:45,630
the white label glove and adding feeds in
1802
01:08:45,630 --> 01:08:46,069
the future.
1803
01:08:46,229 --> 01:08:48,790
We're hoping to make that a paid feature
1804
01:08:48,790 --> 01:08:51,189
that you get like 50 feeds a month
1805
01:08:51,189 --> 01:08:51,830
being paid.
1806
01:08:51,950 --> 01:08:54,890
And then everybody gets to, um, benefit from
1807
01:08:54,890 --> 01:08:56,930
those feeds being add, which also gives us
1808
01:08:56,930 --> 01:08:59,210
a signal saying that this is worthwhile for
1809
01:08:59,210 --> 01:09:00,830
someone to actually think about and add to
1810
01:09:00,830 --> 01:09:02,290
our podcast app.
1811
01:09:03,569 --> 01:09:04,270
Explain that again.
1812
01:09:04,390 --> 01:09:06,890
I didn't quite understand how that works.
1813
01:09:06,890 --> 01:09:09,510
So right now, alpha, you sign up, you
1814
01:09:09,510 --> 01:09:10,270
can add feeds.
1815
01:09:10,750 --> 01:09:12,870
And the new version, you'll have to make
1816
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:13,050
that.
1817
01:09:13,130 --> 01:09:14,490
That's going to be a premium feature to
1818
01:09:14,490 --> 01:09:15,649
add feeds like that.
1819
01:09:15,729 --> 01:09:16,649
You'll still be able to do it on
1820
01:09:16,649 --> 01:09:19,069
your phone as a separate thing, but when
1821
01:09:19,069 --> 01:09:21,310
it gets added to our database, there has
1822
01:09:21,310 --> 01:09:23,210
to be some sort of signal saying that
1823
01:09:23,210 --> 01:09:25,350
this is worthwhile for someone to actually add
1824
01:09:25,350 --> 01:09:26,569
and not just slop.
1825
01:09:26,930 --> 01:09:27,310
Interesting.
1826
01:09:27,689 --> 01:09:28,370
I like it.
1827
01:09:28,430 --> 01:09:29,229
Not just slop.
1828
01:09:30,090 --> 01:09:31,370
Well, you can make a lot of money
1829
01:09:31,370 --> 01:09:33,729
off of, uh, what are those guys called?
1830
01:09:34,950 --> 01:09:35,350
Dave.
1831
01:09:35,390 --> 01:09:36,410
They don't send us money though.
1832
01:09:37,710 --> 01:09:38,370
Inception point.
1833
01:09:38,410 --> 01:09:39,450
Inception point AI.
1834
01:09:39,750 --> 01:09:39,850
Yeah.
1835
01:09:39,890 --> 01:09:40,990
There's some money from them.
1836
01:09:41,189 --> 01:09:41,830
Charge them double.
1837
01:09:43,250 --> 01:09:45,250
And then if anybody wants to add it,
1838
01:09:45,290 --> 01:09:46,850
they can send us a contact former.
1839
01:09:46,970 --> 01:09:47,950
We can make a form and we could
1840
01:09:47,950 --> 01:09:50,029
review it later and possibly add it.
1841
01:09:50,830 --> 01:09:51,590
I like it.
1842
01:09:51,830 --> 01:09:52,189
Interesting idea.
1843
01:09:52,270 --> 01:09:53,830
I think you mentioned that on podcast and
1844
01:09:53,830 --> 01:09:57,090
desktop social the other day in there.
1845
01:09:58,510 --> 01:09:59,650
That's a good signal.
1846
01:09:59,930 --> 01:10:00,410
I like it.
1847
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:02,070
If somebody's willing to pay for it.
1848
01:10:02,510 --> 01:10:05,150
I mean, so is that you have to
1849
01:10:05,150 --> 01:10:05,830
be a premium?
1850
01:10:06,070 --> 01:10:07,130
Do you have to be a premium member
1851
01:10:07,130 --> 01:10:07,710
to do that?
1852
01:10:07,890 --> 01:10:09,150
Is that what that, okay.
1853
01:10:09,350 --> 01:10:09,570
Okay.
1854
01:10:12,730 --> 01:10:13,490
Another element.
1855
01:10:13,730 --> 01:10:16,770
So the premium, uh, users for our new
1856
01:10:16,770 --> 01:10:20,230
stats tracking system, uh, where we, we track
1857
01:10:20,230 --> 01:10:22,070
people's, I mean, you can opt out of
1858
01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:23,430
this if you like, but you can, uh,
1859
01:10:23,430 --> 01:10:26,050
we track, you know, what podcasts they're listening
1860
01:10:26,050 --> 01:10:30,410
to, what episode, um, we're only tracking that
1861
01:10:30,410 --> 01:10:31,990
for the paid premium users.
1862
01:10:32,770 --> 01:10:37,230
It's to help reduce the ability to manipulate.
1863
01:10:37,950 --> 01:10:40,770
And, you know, like the legacy version uses
1864
01:10:40,770 --> 01:10:43,090
a tracking, that's more of a conventional like
1865
01:10:43,090 --> 01:10:47,030
website tracking and it has its own like
1866
01:10:47,030 --> 01:10:50,370
IP detection to try to prevent bots from
1867
01:10:50,370 --> 01:10:52,230
artificially inflating numbers.
1868
01:10:52,550 --> 01:10:56,830
But we're leaning into following the data only
1869
01:10:56,830 --> 01:10:59,810
for premium members going forward so that there'll
1870
01:10:59,810 --> 01:11:02,750
be a better like signal to noise ratio.
1871
01:11:02,970 --> 01:11:04,030
It should be more meaningful.
1872
01:11:04,670 --> 01:11:09,310
Uh, the stats data that we have, which
1873
01:11:09,310 --> 01:11:11,170
down the road could lead to like a
1874
01:11:11,170 --> 01:11:14,750
better recommendations algorithm amongst other things.
1875
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:19,120
Yeah, for sure.
1876
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:19,460
Yeah.
1877
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:20,620
That makes, that makes a lot of sense.
1878
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,400
This, you know, the signal, the signal, the
1879
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,240
noise problem is real.
1880
01:11:26,460 --> 01:11:29,480
I mean, obviously we're going through all, all
1881
01:11:29,480 --> 01:11:31,920
this, jumping through all these hoops, hoops to
1882
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,480
try to make some sort of differentiation between
1883
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:36,960
what's garbage and what's not.
1884
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:41,480
And I mean, it's pretty, I guess it's
1885
01:11:41,480 --> 01:11:44,000
pretty, a pretty simple idea.
1886
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,540
And it just reinforces my, my notion that
1887
01:11:47,540 --> 01:11:51,080
the apps are what's going to help the
1888
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:55,280
index understand what's going on to, um, you
1889
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,920
know, if that, if that feeds back up
1890
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,140
to us in any way.
1891
01:11:58,380 --> 01:12:01,240
And, um, I should probably get, get going
1892
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,340
and getting that, that up, you know, that,
1893
01:12:03,460 --> 01:12:05,580
that data sharing stuff put back together.
1894
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:07,400
Yeah.
1895
01:12:07,420 --> 01:12:09,500
Well, as we mentioned in DMs, like we
1896
01:12:09,500 --> 01:12:12,860
can share this, uh, the publicly available, uh,
1897
01:12:12,860 --> 01:12:13,920
stats data with you.
1898
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,580
We could also potentially integrate some sort of
1899
01:12:16,580 --> 01:12:20,340
report process into our UI that could feed
1900
01:12:20,340 --> 01:12:23,120
back into some shared data resource with the
1901
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:23,980
podcast index.
1902
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,040
Well, you're, you're not alone by the way.
1903
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,600
Financially, you're not alone in the we're almost
1904
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,720
breaking even category that, you know, we, we,
1905
01:12:33,820 --> 01:12:36,500
I taught, I talked to quite a few
1906
01:12:36,500 --> 01:12:39,740
podcast app developers, you know, routinely, and that's
1907
01:12:39,740 --> 01:12:41,220
not an uncommon thing.
1908
01:12:41,220 --> 01:12:44,080
So I don't know that anybody's really making,
1909
01:12:44,180 --> 01:12:47,500
you know, significant money in any of this.
1910
01:12:47,620 --> 01:12:51,880
So that's, you can at least commiserate on
1911
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:52,460
that fact.
1912
01:12:52,860 --> 01:12:56,160
The, the, uh, I mean, our, our millennial
1913
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,980
podcaster girl has some advice on money though.
1914
01:13:00,020 --> 01:13:03,200
It's whether you value yourself and you know,
1915
01:13:03,300 --> 01:13:04,220
it's worth it or not.
1916
01:13:05,460 --> 01:13:08,260
Sometimes when you don't pay as much, you
1917
01:13:08,260 --> 01:13:09,680
don't show up as much.
1918
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:10,040
Right.
1919
01:13:10,220 --> 01:13:12,000
So if I only charged a hundred dollars,
1920
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:13,440
you'd be like, Oh, it's just a hundred
1921
01:13:13,440 --> 01:13:13,920
dollars.
1922
01:13:14,580 --> 01:13:15,920
Like you wouldn't care.
1923
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:17,160
You'd be half-assing it.
1924
01:13:17,260 --> 01:13:20,440
You know, you wouldn't actually follow up and
1925
01:13:20,440 --> 01:13:21,980
be consistent and do the things that I
1926
01:13:21,980 --> 01:13:23,500
sent you an email about, which by the
1927
01:13:23,500 --> 01:13:25,520
way, those fucking emails take me at least
1928
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:25,920
an hour.
1929
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:27,860
So all in all, I'm spending at least
1930
01:13:27,860 --> 01:13:29,900
three, four hours per person for a fucking
1931
01:13:29,900 --> 01:13:32,320
session, you know, and that's, I, I price
1932
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,100
my things at the rate that they're at,
1933
01:13:34,180 --> 01:13:36,060
which it's just going to go up over
1934
01:13:36,060 --> 01:13:38,540
time because you're not just paying me for
1935
01:13:39,100 --> 01:13:39,740
the work.
1936
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,660
You're paying me for the experience and all
1937
01:13:42,660 --> 01:13:44,340
the things that I also went through to
1938
01:13:44,340 --> 01:13:46,860
be able to quantum leap and help you
1939
01:13:46,860 --> 01:13:47,860
get there as well.
1940
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,120
Hey Grok, put a bikini on her.
1941
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,000
Yeah.
1942
01:13:52,780 --> 01:13:53,980
She's quantum leading.
1943
01:13:55,420 --> 01:13:56,300
Quantum leading.
1944
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:58,060
I don't know what that means.
1945
01:13:58,460 --> 01:13:59,260
I love it.
1946
01:13:59,340 --> 01:14:00,660
I think we should try it.
1947
01:14:00,820 --> 01:14:02,220
Shall we thank a few people, Dave?
1948
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,500
Well, well we've just got that advice on
1949
01:14:04,500 --> 01:14:06,000
how to be quantum leading.
1950
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:07,020
Yeah.
1951
01:14:07,340 --> 01:14:08,680
We got a couple, a couple of boosts
1952
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:09,300
in real time.
1953
01:14:09,420 --> 01:14:11,280
I think our node may be down again.
1954
01:14:13,140 --> 01:14:16,960
Our our LN node that you set up.
1955
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:17,880
Yeah.
1956
01:14:18,300 --> 01:14:21,060
It's just saying, just saying.
1957
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,080
But at least I'm getting something.
1958
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,780
I'm getting 1% over here from Martin
1959
01:14:27,780 --> 01:14:28,240
Lindeskog.
1960
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,020
Rove ducks, two, two, two, two.
1961
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:31,720
It's fun to be in the boardroom listening
1962
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:32,800
to programming talk.
1963
01:14:32,860 --> 01:14:34,920
I am totally lost and on at the
1964
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:35,500
same time.
1965
01:14:35,820 --> 01:14:37,240
You have the ducks in a row.
1966
01:14:37,300 --> 01:14:38,040
All right.
1967
01:14:39,380 --> 01:14:39,840
Gallagher.
1968
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:41,140
Have we ever heard from Gallagher?
1969
01:14:42,260 --> 01:14:43,600
Yeah, I think so.
1970
01:14:43,940 --> 01:14:44,900
That sounds familiar.
1971
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:48,300
Coming in from, let's see, CurioCaster.
1972
01:14:49,220 --> 01:14:52,840
333, the amazing master tool corporation, a subsidiary
1973
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,540
of Flyby Night Industries has entrusted who me
1974
01:14:55,540 --> 01:14:58,560
to show you the handiest and dandiest podcast
1975
01:14:58,560 --> 01:14:59,660
tool you've ever seen.
1976
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,180
And don't you want to know how it
1977
01:15:01,180 --> 01:15:01,400
works?
1978
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:03,500
Well, first you get out an ordinary feed,
1979
01:15:03,620 --> 01:15:05,420
then you place the feed between the patented
1980
01:15:05,420 --> 01:15:05,880
pans.
1981
01:15:06,020 --> 01:15:07,340
Then you reach for the tool that is
1982
01:15:07,340 --> 01:15:08,060
not a slicer.
1983
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:08,860
It's not a dicer.
1984
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:10,200
It's not a chopper and a hopper.
1985
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:11,900
What the hell could it possibly be?
1986
01:15:11,900 --> 01:15:14,300
It's the new Podverse app.
1987
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:15,240
Yeah.
1988
01:15:17,140 --> 01:15:18,640
OK, there you go.
1989
01:15:19,260 --> 01:15:21,100
Salty crayon with a row of swans.
1990
01:15:21,220 --> 01:15:21,940
Five, five, five.
1991
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,260
Big fan of test driving the Alphadot Podverse
1992
01:15:24,260 --> 01:15:24,580
app.
1993
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,120
The past couple of months, it's a complete
1994
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,720
revamp from the previous version.
1995
01:15:28,420 --> 01:15:28,980
Beautiful.
1996
01:15:29,900 --> 01:15:30,060
Yeah.
1997
01:15:30,460 --> 01:15:31,620
A nice row of sticks.
1998
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:36,540
11,111 from Boost Beach Management coming in
1999
01:15:36,540 --> 01:15:38,720
on Podverse legacy.
2000
01:15:39,570 --> 01:15:41,380
The winter chill is real.
2001
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,060
Warm up by the glow of the upcoming
2002
01:15:43,060 --> 01:15:45,760
video stream of Boost Beach's grand opening.
2003
01:15:46,300 --> 01:15:49,580
Local Minneapolis band So Big performs live and
2004
01:15:49,580 --> 01:15:51,600
lit with a boostable interactive set.
2005
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,760
January 9th, 7 p.m. Central.
2006
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,940
Tune in at Boost Beach dot live and
2007
01:15:56,940 --> 01:15:58,700
head there now to listen to the trailer.
2008
01:15:59,500 --> 01:16:01,560
BYOB Swingwear and welcome.
2009
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:03,320
This is interesting.
2010
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:04,260
Boost Beach.
2011
01:16:04,620 --> 01:16:05,020
Boost Beach.
2012
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:05,420
Yeah.
2013
01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:07,720
Salty Crayon 2026.
2014
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:08,920
Happy New Year.
2015
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:09,380
Boredom.
2016
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:11,220
Another year of figuring out what works and
2017
01:16:11,220 --> 01:16:12,580
what doesn't in podcasting.
2018
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,980
Here's to another year of keeping our scissors
2019
01:16:14,980 --> 01:16:17,280
sharpened and our nodes pinging and ponging.
2020
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:18,880
Go podcasting.
2021
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:19,680
Yeah.
2022
01:16:20,140 --> 01:16:24,900
And 100 sats from Fountain from user 59050973.
2023
01:16:25,740 --> 01:16:28,480
I also hate the A.I. slop and
2024
01:16:28,480 --> 01:16:30,940
all the world takes that is just normal.
2025
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:33,480
There's real artists or content creators that receive
2026
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:35,400
less attention than those stupid videos.
2027
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,160
If you see a video, just block the
2028
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,280
channel or just scroll.
2029
01:16:40,460 --> 01:16:41,340
Don't keep in there.
2030
01:16:41,740 --> 01:16:42,840
Amazing podcast here.
2031
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,520
Thank you, guys.
2032
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,920
You you reserve more than this.
2033
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:47,940
You reserve more than this with.
2034
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:48,660
I can help.
2035
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:49,680
Have a good day.
2036
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:50,540
Lightning bolts.
2037
01:16:50,580 --> 01:16:50,940
All right.
2038
01:16:50,940 --> 01:16:51,660
Thank you very much.
2039
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:53,400
And with that, I hit the delimiter.
2040
01:16:54,220 --> 01:16:55,980
You know, I was listening yesterday.
2041
01:16:55,980 --> 01:16:58,700
I was doing some renovation work here in
2042
01:16:58,700 --> 01:17:02,800
the house and I was listening to pet
2043
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:03,220
sounds.
2044
01:17:03,700 --> 01:17:04,740
Oh, the Beach Boys.
2045
01:17:05,340 --> 01:17:06,060
Yeah, Beach Boys.
2046
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,780
Martin, I'm not the Beach Boys.
2047
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,040
It's Wilson.
2048
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:12,440
Brian Wilson's solo project.
2049
01:17:12,700 --> 01:17:13,940
Yeah, it.
2050
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:16,600
No, no, no.
2051
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:17,660
Pet sounds was the Beach Boys.
2052
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:19,280
It was the full Beach Boys band.
2053
01:17:19,340 --> 01:17:19,680
Oh, it was.
2054
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,760
I thought it was just Brian Wilson.
2055
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:23,600
OK, well, they say it's the best the
2056
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,880
best album ever made.
2057
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:28,200
I don't know if I know.
2058
01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:29,480
We all know that's Rush.
2059
01:17:29,580 --> 01:17:30,480
Come on.
2060
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:32,300
It's a twenty one twelve.
2061
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,460
Let's let's not get crazy here, but.
2062
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:38,580
They just you just don't.
2063
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:40,780
Music like that is gone.
2064
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,320
It's just gone, man.
2065
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:44,840
It'll come back.
2066
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,520
It like that is just.
2067
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,040
It's just beautiful.
2068
01:17:51,660 --> 01:17:53,740
It's beautiful creativity.
2069
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,680
This is what happens when you get old,
2070
01:17:55,780 --> 01:17:56,020
Dave.
2071
01:17:56,100 --> 01:17:59,260
This is what happens when you start talking
2072
01:17:59,260 --> 01:17:59,880
like this.
2073
01:18:00,480 --> 01:18:01,240
That was before.
2074
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:02,560
That was before my time.
2075
01:18:02,620 --> 01:18:03,520
I was born in 76.
2076
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:04,720
That was before me.
2077
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:06,420
And I and I just have such I've
2078
01:18:06,420 --> 01:18:07,060
said this before.
2079
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,540
You know, my daughter's like all the bands
2080
01:18:10,540 --> 01:18:12,500
and stuff that that are at the community
2081
01:18:12,500 --> 01:18:14,940
art center here that they get tons of
2082
01:18:14,940 --> 01:18:18,620
bands and nobody wants to play anything new.
2083
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:23,960
No, everything they play is from the 90s
2084
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:24,700
or earlier.
2085
01:18:24,820 --> 01:18:25,080
Yeah.
2086
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:26,240
And that's beautiful.
2087
01:18:27,060 --> 01:18:30,860
Because there's nothing nothing new is is you
2088
01:18:30,860 --> 01:18:32,880
might you might tap your toe to it,
2089
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,540
but you don't want to like play it.
2090
01:18:34,660 --> 01:18:35,660
It's a toe tapper.
2091
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:36,560
Yeah.
2092
01:18:37,020 --> 01:18:38,620
Anyway, that's an aside.
2093
01:18:38,780 --> 01:18:42,320
We got we got a got a donation
2094
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,580
from our friends at Transistor.
2095
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:45,140
Yes.
2096
01:18:45,260 --> 01:18:46,200
Five hundred dollars.
2097
01:18:46,340 --> 01:18:47,040
Thank you.
2098
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:47,620
Wow.
2099
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,460
Shot caller 20 is blaze on the Impala.
2100
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,680
Thank you, boys and girls at Transistor.
2101
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,060
That's very much appreciated.
2102
01:18:57,100 --> 01:19:00,240
That would be John and Justin over there.
2103
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:00,520
Yep.
2104
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,620
Podcasting two dot o is basically one ongoing
2105
01:19:03,620 --> 01:19:05,220
hackathon that never ends.
2106
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,660
Well, that's a quote from you, except we
2107
01:19:07,660 --> 01:19:08,520
don't have any pizza.
2108
01:19:09,220 --> 01:19:13,260
Well, he says, well, here's some here's from
2109
01:19:13,260 --> 01:19:16,240
your friends at Transistor FM wishing you the
2110
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,420
best in 2026.
2111
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:17,940
Lovely.
2112
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:19,020
Thank you very much.
2113
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:21,940
That's all that's everything helps.
2114
01:19:21,940 --> 01:19:23,120
Of course, everything helps.
2115
01:19:23,780 --> 01:19:24,040
Yep.
2116
01:19:24,540 --> 01:19:28,200
That is our only PayPal one off PayPal.
2117
01:19:28,380 --> 01:19:32,260
We got some we got some boost, though.
2118
01:19:32,380 --> 01:19:35,860
We got we got two anonymous from true
2119
01:19:35,860 --> 01:19:38,260
fans for forty seven thirty.
2120
01:19:38,780 --> 01:19:41,660
Those look like streamings, which that's great.
2121
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,280
And then we've got the delimiter.
2122
01:19:43,780 --> 01:19:46,140
So there's clearly like you said, there's clearly
2123
01:19:46,140 --> 01:19:48,200
a mismatch going on now between the node
2124
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:49,760
and I'm going to have to go figure
2125
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:50,360
that out.
2126
01:19:50,990 --> 01:19:52,780
So I will figure out what went to
2127
01:19:52,780 --> 01:19:53,360
the node.
2128
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,600
The Albi hub thing, Ellen address.
2129
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:04,040
Hickey do do widget of the widget widget.
2130
01:20:04,460 --> 01:20:06,900
I'll figure what out what that was and
2131
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:08,760
I'll read anything we missed.
2132
01:20:09,860 --> 01:20:12,740
On the show next week, because that's on
2133
01:20:12,740 --> 01:20:15,180
a different machine and it's not playing nice
2134
01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:17,940
with my script anymore, but comedy blogger did
2135
01:20:17,940 --> 01:20:21,060
give us 17 515 sets the fountain.
2136
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,920
And he says, how do you, David?
2137
01:20:24,660 --> 01:20:28,500
Vince Gilligan created Breaking Bad and he has
2138
01:20:28,500 --> 01:20:30,060
over 60 million dollars.
2139
01:20:30,220 --> 01:20:32,680
But still, I'd like to recommend his new
2140
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,700
TV show, Pluribus on Apple TV reasons.
2141
01:20:36,860 --> 01:20:39,860
It's an allegory of a stealing content and
2142
01:20:39,860 --> 01:20:41,680
taking over mankind without consent.
2143
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:45,640
But also because purebred Polish milf, she has
2144
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:46,280
two sons.
2145
01:20:46,940 --> 01:20:50,620
Actress plays Zosia, a chaperone and free use
2146
01:20:50,620 --> 01:20:51,180
lesbian.
2147
01:20:53,460 --> 01:20:54,360
What is it?
2148
01:20:54,540 --> 01:20:56,520
What is a free use lesbian?
2149
01:20:56,700 --> 01:20:58,500
I don't even want to know.
2150
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:00,100

01:22:11,980 --> 01:22:13,100
That's why we do the show.
2190
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:14,880
Besides the fact that Damon, I just want
2191
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:16,340
to catch up once a week.
2192
01:22:16,460 --> 01:22:17,780
Go to podcast index dot org.
2193
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:18,940
Down at the bottom is where you can
2194
01:22:18,940 --> 01:22:20,280
find a big red donate button.
2195
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,600

2207
01:22:45,900 --> 01:22:47,920
Did you you played the donation segment?
2208
01:22:48,020 --> 01:22:49,300
Do you want to hear her advice on
2209
01:22:49,300 --> 01:22:50,000
money in general?
2210
01:22:50,140 --> 01:22:50,680
Of course.
2211
01:22:51,220 --> 01:22:54,640
So other examples of money leaks is you
2212
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,540
not getting money back when you let someone
2213
01:22:56,540 --> 01:22:57,180
borrow money.
2214
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:57,580
OK.
2215
01:22:57,940 --> 01:22:58,160
OK.
2216
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,380
Let's say you pay for someone's dinner and
2217
01:23:01,380 --> 01:23:03,700
you're like, oh, just PayPal, Venmo, sell me.
2218
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:04,220
Right.
2219
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,380
And they're not if.
2220
01:23:08,580 --> 01:23:12,300
OK, so if they're not paying you, they're
2221
01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:13,360
leaking their energy.
2222
01:23:13,860 --> 01:23:16,580
But if you're not actually reaching out to
2223
01:23:16,580 --> 01:23:19,540
them, you're leaking your energy, right?
2224
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,760
This generation is lost, Dave.
2225
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,360
They're leaking energy left and right.
2226
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:28,420
So bad.
2227
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,080
Look, I'm just thinking about Mitch and Archie.
2228
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,360
I just don't want them leaking.
2229
01:23:32,540 --> 01:23:34,580
Don't leak out your energy, boys.
2230
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,160
You know, you just got to follow up
2231
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:36,600
with people.
2232
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,600
You've got to spend three hours per user
2233
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:39,500
writing them an email.
2234
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:40,560
Yeah.
2235
01:23:42,420 --> 01:23:43,640
I'll work on it.
2236
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:45,900
I don't know that it's a stage that
2237
01:23:45,900 --> 01:23:48,060
maybe LLM can help with the emails.
2238
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:48,500
It's a.
2239
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:51,040
Hey, guys.
2240
01:23:51,420 --> 01:23:54,400
Congratulations on on on all the work that
2241
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:55,920
is really looking good.
2242
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,060
And do you have a timeline for for
2243
01:23:58,060 --> 01:24:00,060
full on release of the web and possibly
2244
01:24:00,060 --> 01:24:00,600
the app?
2245
01:24:02,260 --> 01:24:05,060
Well, the Alpha Web, I'm expecting it to
2246
01:24:05,060 --> 01:24:06,020
be done this month.
2247
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,160
But in terms of when will it be
2248
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:13,540
fully live like replacing the legacy app, that
2249
01:24:13,540 --> 01:24:15,500
won't be until the mobile app is finished.
2250
01:24:15,580 --> 01:24:17,480
And it's hard to promise deadlines on that.
2251
01:24:18,440 --> 01:24:20,500
I would like to say it should be
2252
01:24:20,500 --> 01:24:22,580
safely done and deployed by summer.
2253
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:27,400
But before that, as I mentioned, the website
2254
01:24:27,940 --> 01:24:31,240
should be a standalone product that people may
2255
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,100
be able to deploy for their own purposes
2256
01:24:33,100 --> 01:24:35,900
before the mobile app is even finished.
2257
01:24:36,180 --> 01:24:38,140
So it would be cool to see Podverse
2258
01:24:38,140 --> 01:24:41,260
deployed and running for somebody else before we
2259
01:24:41,260 --> 01:24:43,320
even fully go live with it.
2260
01:24:44,260 --> 01:24:47,540
Well, will you have a test flight and
2261
01:24:47,540 --> 01:24:50,300
a private beta on the Android side for
2262
01:24:50,300 --> 01:24:50,880
the new app?
2263
01:24:51,580 --> 01:24:51,900
Yeah.
2264
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:52,960
Yeah, we definitely will.
2265
01:24:53,100 --> 01:24:53,200
Yeah.
2266
01:24:53,300 --> 01:24:54,160
Count us in, man.
2267
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:55,160
Count us in.
2268
01:24:56,180 --> 01:24:57,720
Archie, any parting words?
2269
01:24:59,460 --> 01:25:00,340
Go podcasting.
2270
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,820
Hey, guys, happy new year.
2271
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:06,280
Congratulations again.
2272
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:08,540
We look forward to having you back on
2273
01:25:08,540 --> 01:25:09,440
when everything launches.
2274
01:25:09,940 --> 01:25:11,960
And thank you for all you're doing for
2275
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:13,980
2.0 and for podcasting in general.
2276
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:15,000
It's highly appreciated.
2277
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:16,760
Good to be here.
2278
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:17,620
Thank you, guys.
2279
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:19,420
All right, Brother Dave, have yourself a great
2280
01:25:19,420 --> 01:25:19,700
weekend.
2281
01:25:19,820 --> 01:25:20,440
More renovation.
2282
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:22,000
Oh, yeah.
2283
01:25:22,060 --> 01:25:22,260
Yeah.
2284
01:25:22,260 --> 01:25:25,540
Winter renovation and hopefully some some smoker action.
2285
01:25:26,340 --> 01:25:27,160
Smoker action.
2286
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:28,180
All right.
2287
01:25:28,300 --> 01:25:28,520
Yeah.
2288
01:25:28,660 --> 01:25:29,740
Crack is on, baby.
2289
01:25:31,180 --> 01:25:32,160
All right, everybody.
2290
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:32,700
Boardroom.
2291
01:25:32,780 --> 01:25:33,500
Thank you very much.
2292
01:25:33,540 --> 01:25:34,740
Have yourselves a great weekend.
2293
01:25:34,820 --> 01:25:36,760

01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:54,440

That's a big bottom.
