Industry consortium for podcast measurement standards. Dave reblog with snark (May 29): "They want better app metrics for their ad-tech but the only 'app' in their council is Spotify. 😆 There's a right way to do this IMO, but this is not it." Discussion: measurement standards written by/for ad-tech — what would Dave's "right way" look like? Podcast Index neutrality vs industry-coalition co-opting. Podnews AMP press release Dave's reblog ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 - SPOTIFY INVESTOR DAY — CREATOR MEMBERSHIPS (PATREON KILLER) + CLIPS + AGENTIC AI ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 - BIPOC PODCAST CREATORS CLOSES — DEI FUNDING COLLAPSE → COMMUNITY ORG OFFLINE BIPOC Podcast Creators (American podcast org for Black/Indigenous/People of Color creators) closes. PNWR interviews the co-founders 00:27:00 → 00:43:00. Co-founder reflection: "the beginning of our podcast careers… feeling really…" DEI funding pulled by new government (00:31:30): "we started to see a decline in the investment." Direct call to platforms (00:36:00): "What is Spotify going to do? What is Apple, you…" Legacy framing (00:39:00, 00:40:30): "You two created the first and the largest…" / "We made a mark in the history of this industry." Discussion: DEI-funding-collapse → community-org-closure pattern. Platforms' responsibility to creator communities they don't host. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04 - DAVE'S PACKAGE-MANAGER-SUPPLY-CHAIN-ATTACKS RIFF — "OSS WEAPONIZED BY AI" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05 - LEO EMBRACES PODCASTING 2.0 — MAGIC CHAPTERS FOR CLUB TWIT MEMBERS Drebscott observation May 28: Leo has finally embraced Podcasting 2.0 — added podcast: tags to TWiT shows. Paid Club TWiT members get chapters and don't get the funding tag. Paid Members get podcast:chapters; others get free podcast:funding. Dave (May 28 multiple posts): "I noticed it too. It makes me feel valued as a TWiT club subscriber. Having chapters makes my WW and SN listening so much more enjoyable. I'm very thankful for it." Dave: "I wanted to use magic chapters in my Castamatic but my iPhone 13 doesn't support the needed APIs. And, like you, I was pleasantly surprised when one day they showed up!" Nathan working on podcast:image support for Podlink — asking for feed examples that already support it (May 28). Discussion: differentiated namespace use by membership tier — clever segmentation. Compare to Spotify Creator Memberships (above) — Leo's RSS-native paywall vs Spotify's on-platform paywall. Drebscott observation Nathan podcast:image ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06 - RSS-AS-BLOG + + THREADED CONVERSATIONS IN RSS — DAVE + @FAHRNI THREAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07 - JS SPURLOCK SPOTLIGHT — FLIGHTCAST H.265 + SIGNED-HLS PUSHBACK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08 - POD ROLL ATLAS + /DATASETS — STATUS CHECK FROM PC20-260 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09 - TRUEFANS RSS PAYMENT METADATA BUGS (JS NAMESPACE QC) JS Spurlock to @samsethi May 16: truefans RSS payment metadata has field-naming bugs. Flagged against PR #734. Bug list: "podcast" should be "feed_title"; missing required "split" + "timestamp" fields; "episode_guid" should be "item_guid"; "episode" should be "item_title"; "url" is not defined. 30-sec namespace-discipline beat — payment metadata correctness matters because boostagram split routing breaks silently when fields are mis-named. PR #734 (truefans payment metadata) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 - PREMIUM RSS / SHARE-EQUALITY + HLS APPLE COMING IN (PNWR TAIL) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Last Modified 05/29/2026 14:09:19 by Freedom Controller
