Show Notes

We track the biggest forces shaping podcasting next year: Goalhanger’s network effect, a pivot to listener-based analytics, and the tension between open RSS and closed “podcast” branding from big platforms.

the ffpmeg thing reminded me of what I did about a year ago. I had a command line tool using ffmpeg to turn a YouTube or twitch livestream into a live icecast mp3 stream. Wanted to build an easier tool to stream in rss myself but then decided that there weren’t any good rss live listening apps or websites yet. Started bouncepad.live which is bad and semi-abandoned now. So I’m left with kinda nothing. Does anyone have any motivation tips???

I get putting hls in the enclosure for ads purposes but I expect that to lead to many self hosted feeds trying this out, without having a ssl certificate. So on all the https webapps they now won’t be able to play an episode. Insecure media requests are allowed in browsers but not insecure http requests.

With that endpoint of new shows maybe we could do a Birdwatch type thing? That is what later turned into community notes on X. Where it has people write and rate notes. And the notes only show up if people that usually disagree, agree that this post needs a note. That could come from any user reports from apps too I guess. But then we would need a centralised way of tracking the reports. To at would work for removing shows automatically in a actually reliable way though. Just as an idea.

    Discord and Roblox being exempt from the social media ban proves that it’s really not about protecting kids. The number one apps right now with a problem of child predators. And neither of them are really doing anything about it on their own. Let’s all be happy none of us are running chat and gaming apps appealing to above the age of being able to read. Because how do you actually solve that problem?
