is always doing that

thanks to transcripts and BoK (this was ChatGPT), you can now communicate in mere grunts and the full context can be unpacked lol

I asked the BoK what you meant by that:

Adam Curry almost certainly meant SOPML = Social OPML.

> He's suggesting that the problems could be addressed using an existing decentralized social-graph concept rather than inventing a new personGUID mechanism.

> In Podcasting 2.0 episode 175, Everyone's an Actor, Adam and Dave Jones explicitly discuss SOPML as a social graph.

> It uses OPML to distinguish between feeds someone publishes (pub) and feeds they subscribe to (sub).

feeds for people could be nice. An official RSS feed for their podcasts, appearances on other shows, and other info they want (blog posts even?).

Maybe it's just a publisher or playlist feed, that can be referenced in the person tag with a guid?

Biggest challenge might be integrity verification to prevent people from being misled to a fake "official person" feed containing something malicious.

Very experimental but I would open to giving it a try.

ah if it means “I don’t want to listen when you tell me” then I would disagree. Listening live and listening later are not exclusive UX. YouTube it seems is increasingly popular for “podcast listening” today, and I think livestreams are part of what has driven that adoption. If a listener wants to occasionally hear the livestream, and it’s live only on YouTube, they tend to stay and listen to the recorded versions there as well.

“People wanted to time shift listening with podcasts so live becomes the opposite of what podcasts provide”

What do you mean by “time shift” here? The ability to rewind in an ongoing livestream? If that’s it, then my understanding is PeerTube supports this functionality called HLS DVR since at least 2024.

I do not know if any 2.0 apps support it yet, but we certainly want to with PV NG.

I would suggest that, if we expand or adopt new namespaces, we don’t strictly need to use <podcast:__> namespaces or have them be officially Podcast Index creations. The more important thing is we have a community willing to experiment with new tags.

I have long thought that podcast:soundbite is under utilized for podcasters creating their own clips. Does True Fans allow them to set a title with their clips? I haven’t checked if it has changed in a long time, but at one point Buzzsprout allowed podcasters to create soundbites but without titles. I think titles could help with discovery.

We’ll be trying to feature soundbites (tentatively called “Official Clips” to differentiate from listener created) more prominently in PV NextGen.

that would be great! Any feeds that could be used for development, and any documentation would be appreciated.

awesome thanks Sam. I may hold off until we actually have Podverse NextGen in beta testers hands, because there won't be much I can do until then, and then I'll forget and ask the same questions over again 😂

NextGen should be much more adaptable than Ogen though so it shouldn't be too difficult for us to experiment with new tags quickly when it is ready.

Trying to get Beta in testers' hands before end of October. Mobile app mostly finished. Working on payment and data migration now.

Podverse would potentially be interested in supporting both value-for-value and RSS-based paywalled content.

I see them as separate and non-overlapping features. It's extremely common these days for livestreamers to offer both exclusive premium content AND "superchats" aka boosts aka paid messages sent by the audience (read on both the public and private content).

V4V is more of a philosophy, but sending paid messages is the tangible feature most people engage in V4V through.
