In The TrueFans admin dashboard the podcaster can see an aggregated total of their podcasts plays, listen time and they can also see this by individual episode.

4/6 - Users Control

The TrueFans user can control what they publish in their settings. So they can choose what social media platforms to share their activities. They can choose what activity verbs and they can choose the percentage of their play activity before the activity is published.

This individual user activity is also shared with the podcast creator and aggregated so the podcaster can see their total plays, listen time and percentage completed

3/5 - Frustrated

Unfortunately, I missed my favourite show live. Instead I listened to the recording and just screamed at my phone as I heard them discuss the idea and then talk about how to share data by reinventing the wheel.

TrueFans already measures every listener's activity - play, follow, share etc.

We use a W3C standard called ActivityStreams which is structured XML data

We show this in the users profile. The users can hide this or choose what activity verbs they want public.

2/5 - The Source of Truth.

In this week's show - EP262 - @nprofile1q... has an idea to get advertisers to pay hosts and/or apps. #pcdc

https://truefans.fm/podcasting-20/6a230629a56d0806c3a19fd1?tab=chapters&t=28:07

The idea is for apps share first party data with Podcast Index and then they will aggeregate this data and act as a data broker for advertisers to buy data and then share the value back to the apps.

Two years ago, I was a guest on my favourite show Podcasting 2.0 - April 19th, 2024 - EP176 "Angel Number" - start min 45:00

https://truefans.fm/podcasting-20/6622ab58985e03df25aa1378?tab=chapters&t=45:00

On. the show we discussed an idea I had for advertisers paying podcasters and listeners using micropayments & splits.

I also talked about creating a central fund which the podcast index would manage.

I credited @nprofile1q... with the idea because he wanted VTS or wallet switching which gave me the idea to get advertisers to pay podcasters.
