I also have a thing for craft beer, and did so before it was quite as trendy as today.

I live in Meanjin/Brisbane QLD Australia - in Bardon 4065 - on the land of the Turrbul and Jagera people. I'm British and moved here ten years ago.

@nprofile1q... YouTube has always sold inhouse, and the release (or perhaps the PR email) suggested this was the first time they’ve decided to go out of house.

I must confess, I don’t know what “YouTube audio ads” means, unless it is for a potential YouTube Music ad-supported tier. As far as I understand it, YouTube Main doesn’t have any audio ads - you can’t turn the screen off or play in background without paying for YouTube Premium.

I think any audio ads need to come from the audio ad budgets, which YouTube hasn’t had access to. Easier to get someone that does, to unlock those, rather than start a new internal unit. Plus competition between YouTube Main ads and YouTube Audio ads will be less destructive if one is sold by a third party.

SiriusXM is the largest podcast audio ad company in the US, as far as I can see. As ever, YouTube is focusing on a US strategy rather than a global one - SiriusXM has no sales capability outside the US at all.

(You’re in the audio of Podnews Daily today.)

Got my COVID and flu shots today. The advice is "every twelve months" for the COVID one - last year I got mine on April 29, this year on April 17, but the computer at the pharmacist didn't say no.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Interestingly - https://p0stman.com/what-is-agents-md suggests that a website /agents.md is a thing. So I've made the lower-case variant also work.

There is also apparently an /llms.txt thing as well. While Postman claims they're different, they're probably close enough. So https://podnews.net/llms.txt also works.

Interesting fact: on Saturday, my server saw four requests for https://podnews.net/llms.txt (which was a 404 back then).

I genuinely don't know whether this was worth the time writing, but https://podnews.net/AGENTS.md is now live, if any AI agents wish to take a look.

@nprofile1q... I don't know if it's worthwhile you doing something similar. Particularly, I have told agents visiting my website to use Podcast Index, so happy to change this language to work with you. (Maybe an AGENTS.md on your website to help?)
