This week, Reed and I caught up after a week off and I recapped my Kansas City trip for DuhLarien's 33rd birthday meetup with the Bowl After Bowl crew. We talked about what it was like finally meeting so many online friends in real life, recording a live Homegrown Hits episode from a moving car with a hacked-together mobile rig, and why those in-person moments matter so much when you’re trying to build something lasting around podcasting, music, Bitcoin, and Nostr. The big theme that stuck with me coming home was the idea of leading with culture: building around shared values, leaving room for new people to join, and protecting what makes these communities work in the first place.From there we got into software updates. Reed walked through a major OnlyBoosts redesign focused on actual discoverability, with new homepage categories, personalized recommendations, pod-roll driven rankings, and better ways to surface podcasts and music people might genuinely want to hear. I also shared a smaller but very fun Boost Me Bitch update: adding GIFs to boosts. We wrapped by talking about where this whole thing could go next—how to keep pushing Podcasting 2.0 forward, how community succession is happening across Bitcoin and podcasting at the same time, and why we want this show to be a place for builders to compare notes as the next phase takes shape.OnlyBoosts: https://onlyboosts.social/Bowl After Bowl: https://www.bowlafterbowl.com/Homegrown Hits: https://homegrownhits.substack.com/aboutIPFS Podcasting: https://ipfspodcasting.com/XMRChat: https://xmrchat.com/V4V Music: https://v4vmusic.com/V4V Music Show; https://v4vmusic.com/s/1108Bitfest: https://bitfest.uk/
