Send us a message!Special Guests: Dan Misener- co-founder BumperDan Misener has looked at the new topics that Apple Podcasts is automatically allocating to shows (see our coverage on Nov 15, including our topics viewer). He's produced a number of network maps, designed to show links between different shows; and produced episode topic maps for every category in Apple Podcasts. Trevor Bell  - Podcast Producer at The Iron Fist Velvet Glove PodcastTrevor argues that Value4Value is good for podcasting but rewarding podcasters with Satoshis is too early and other means of monetisation maybe better for now. Show Notes and Links Seeing loads of downloads from a mysterious app called Dalvik? You're not alone; they're all coming from Samsung Android phones, and we understand that the downloads are related to Samsung Free, the company's podcast app.Acast is encouraging the use of visual descriptions in podcasts, to make content more accessible for blind or low-vision people.  Acast has launched a self-serve platform for podcast advertising. Hear the early days of podcasting in a special documentary, just added to Podnews Extra.Disctopia and Alby have added integration with “value 4 value” payments.Support the Show.Connect With Us: Email: weekly@podnews.net Twitter: @jamescridland / @podnews and @samsethi / @joinpodfans Lightning/NOSTR: ⚡james@crid.land and ⚡sam@getalby.com Mastodon: @james@bne.social and @samsethi@podcastindex.social Support us: www.buzzsprout.com/1538779/support Get Podnews: podnews.net

James, you neglected to mention Trevor Bell is a lawyer representing the Noosa Temple of Satan. He is literally the Devil's Lawyer. His only criticism of V4V appeares to be the use of Bitcoin instead of Fiat. Thank you for exposing this. As a Christian, I could not be more delighted!

We do have an automatic recurring payment actually. Dave Jones has worked some wizardry and he sends a big Rush boost to the Mere Mortals every week. Trevor is right in that it's early, not everyone can code like Dave. But it's all right here and V4V works way better with sats in the long run like Sam says. Go podcasting!

Here is a row of sticks since podclock went live at test 11. As for monthly contributions for value 4 value, and app could do that easily right? Dave does it with a cron job seems like an app could do it easily too. Boosts and stuff are pretty meme like at this stage but that’s the whole running with scissors aspect. as the platform matures, so will the format. I appreciated Trevor’s criticism and agree that if monetizing is a goal, multiple ways are 👍

I am definitely not a bloke haha so congrats on your second boost from a lady. My name is Eileen but spelled the Dutch way. Shoutout to Fountain by the way, who make it possible to earn sats while listening so I can send these boosts while -still- figuring out how to buy them
