I haven't listened, but I think one thing that would help _any_ kind of streaming payment option would be to separate the concerns of messages and payments.

This is the "gallery" part of my proposal:
https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/469
Think of it for No Agenda, too. Instead of a chapter for every image, there could be a single "gallery" chapter allowing the listener to view the images at _their_ pace instead of the forced pace of the audio, which would require them to pause or go back just to see an image.

Maybe you can create a test faster than me, since you've already integrated with Stripe.
In addition to my thoughts in this thread, I think you'd need to offer other podcast apps a way for them to connect with you through Stripe Connect, and then they could simply pass a URL param, like "ref=podcastguru" (or a slug they choose) to a TrueFans payment page, and your system would them use their Stripe Connect to give them a 1% cut (or whatever you make it). …

2026-07-25 01:06:53 CEST

As an app developer plus hosting provider, would you have issues using your Stripe Connect to get an "app fee" from a podcaster if they use a different payment page (Podgagement, Buzzsprout, etc.)?

Using Stripe Billing keeps the recurring payments managed by Stripe instead of the payment page host, and I'm not sure whether the app could continue receiving fees from the recurring payments if the podcaster moves their Stripe connection to a different payment-page host.
I'll do more thinking and research on this.

@npub1fmx…wp74 and @npub1rcn…dw4h should see this chain of thought.

2026-07-24 21:35:52 CEST

- reply

The liberty for the podcaster is that they could theoretically switch their payment page anytime. The only "lock in" would maybe be for recurring payments, depending on how that's handled.
If the payment page host (Podgagement, TrueFans, Buzzsprout, etc.) handles the recurring payments to the podcaster's Stripe account, then leaving that host means ending those recurring payments.
But if the host uses Stripe Billing for recurring payments, that doesn't break when the podcaster switches. BUT

2026-07-24 21:33:03 CEST

And that preregistration through Stripe Connect means this requires somewhat centralized systems, albeit with liberty to switch.
PodcastGuru would have to connect their Stripe to Podgagement, TrueFans, Buzzsprout, and whoever else offers a hosted payment page. But once they're connected, they could get that 1% split of all payments referred to _that_ payment page through PodcastGuru.
This doesn't prevent a podcaster for DIYing it, but DIY would mean the app doesn't get a fee.
3/

2026-07-24 21:30:13 CEST

- reply

Then, as long as PodcastGuru had already connected their Stripe to the payment page, the page could recognize it's coming from PodcastGuru and give:
• 1% to Podcast Guru
• 1% to the payment page host (such as Podgagement, True Fans, Buzzsprout, etc.)
• the rest to the podcaster (optionally even splitting it further for cohosts)
This would function almost like an affiliate program where the referrer earns a portion of any payment they refer.
But they would have to preregister.

2026-07-24 21:26:29 CEST

Following up from today's boardroom.
I dug into the Stripe docs and found that it _is_ possible for a payment form to split a payment more than once. But being part of the split requires a prior connection.
But once that connection is made, the payment form could delegate splits based on something as simple as a URL parameter.
For example, a podcast could include the payment page URL in their Funding tag, then PodcastGuru automatically adds "?ref=podcastguru" to the URL.

Today's Podcasting 2.0 boardroom was a positive kick in the pants I needed to get working on my "Funding" feature in Podgagement.
I won't be secretive about this, because I think others should make similar things.
I'm making a hosting-agnostic tool that will allow podcasters to share a single, speakable URL to get funding from their audiences, and it will support messages, multiple payment methods, recurring and one-time payments, custom amounts, "tiers," and more.

Actually, I would say that <description> and <itunes:summary> were more alike: a short summary of the episode. While <content:encoded> was the full notes.
But I think for episode notes, <description> might be the most compatible fallback because it's base RSS instead of requiring the "iTunes" or "content" namespaces. Apple even switched to using <description>.

Something bothers me about the upcoming macOS 27 that I haven't seen anyone talking about much.
All the other macOS and OS X versions where named after beauty in nature: Jaguar, Mavericks, Yosemite, Sequoia, and such.
But macOS 27 will be the first named after a manmade object: Golden Gate.
That feels like not only a change in naming strategy, but also a fundamental shift in core beliefs about beauty, awe, and adventure.

This isn't just an issue of progressively enhancing technologies, like RGB ➜ RGBA ➜ HSLA ➜ OKLCH. Instead, it would be removing acceptance for radically different formats.
Besides, the whole point of the transcript tag is to systematically expose the transcript so apps and services can make a better experience for podcasters and audiences. Text on a webpage or in a file can't do that.

Standard _do_ need to be set for things to get fully adopted. There _does_ need to be a sense of "you're doing it wrong; here's the right way to do it," which I know seems to be contrary to your own technology perspective, Dave.
"Here's a tag, use it however you want" is a tag with no vision and probably no future. "Here's a tag. Here's the straight and narrow way to use this." Is clearly defined and thus easier to educate on and support.

Meh. GPT seems to actually be consistently better for coding anyway, and we have yet to see GPT 5.5.
Plus, other models are getting surprisingly good, like the new Kimi K2.6.
And I saw that Mimo v2.5 Pro was released just today. I never used that model for coding, but it _did_ do really well for OpenClaw agentic work before I switched to GPT via a ChatGPT $20/month subscription.
Cursor, however, appears to cap my legacy subscription to GPT 5.3 Codex and Opus 4.6.

Yeah, Spreaker can do that; it's weird. If I set that "Manage RSS" option to "enabled" (which is the default), it will publish a Spreaker-hosted RSS feed with added elements, kind of like Feedburner's old SmartCast feature worked.
In fact, do you remember a couple of years ago that my own podcast was duplicated in the Index? We traced that to the scraped Spreaker RSS feed that I didn't realize was being created by Spreaker.

Wait. Is this a malicious clone? If not, this could be a side effect of Spreaker's legacy system that would make an RSS feed of podcasts submitted to Spreaker (originally for inclusion in iHeartRadio), even though the podcasts were submitted with an RSS feed. For example:

It was someone who did some basic cross calculations and estimated extrapolations.
For example, if you run the prompts through OpenRouter and see the cost is $100, and you run it through a Claude subscription and see it used 2% of your limit, then you can infer that you'd get about $5,000 from Claude's subsidization.

2026-03-31 05:58:39 CEST

- reply

Anthrophic and OpenAI have so drastically subsidized their subscriptions that even with reduced usage, you're probably still getting a killer deal.
Before this throttling, that last stat I heard was that the $200/month Claude Max plan gives up to $5,000 worth of inference (what you'd pay through OpenRouter or the direct API).

Indexes are the first optimization. But you could add a group by to also get the shows count, because episodes from the same podcast would share the same podcast_id (or whatever), right?
I'm not being sarcastic here, but try asking Sonnet, Opus, or GPT-5.4 or 5.3-Codex. I've used those models more and more (via Cursor) and they helped me optimize my own engine from using 20 servers for 2–3 hours to only 10 servers in 30 minutes!

Are you sure that's the problem? Because the API is showing the _same_ number for podcasts as for episodes.

ActiveCampaign requires a template, but I've designed my own in the past. Even with a designed template, I kept it simple.
I used to send the RTF-style emails years ago, but then with multiple brands, I thought it would be good to give them a bit more of a branded look.
But since The Audacity to Podcast is still very much a personal brand, I might make that the only "super simple" template.

I beg to differ.
Since iOS 14.5, Apple does essentially own the "RSS feed" in Apple Podcasts because they proxy the feed and serve only from their proxy. HLS video is now another thing they will host through their proxy.
Even their chapter support relies on MP3 chapters first and uses their proprietary "timed links" instead of the open standards of chapter links (legacy or P2.0).
I see Apple using open tech to build proprietary solutions.

Another approach you could take is what I've seen some other tools do, using actual delimiters.
Amazon, for example, using |, and you could potentially use a simple comma.
With a comma, you could automatically turn each thing into a sort of "tag," like I do with PodChapters' transcription engine:

Did you know we actually don't know and can't even measure if light travels at the same speed in all directions?

I guess I'm just old fashioned; I funded my startups with my own money—what little I had.

I'm guessing the significantly lower number Apple Podcasts ID is the accurate one, and the second one (added in January 2020) was maybe submitted by their hosting provider, or someone else who didn't know what they were doing.

"Security Now (Audio)" exists twice in Apple Podcasts: one with the Podroll prepend (79016499), one without (1493301231).

Thanks! I would be using it via Docker, so your post gives me some things to check.

Thank you! I forgot to check my notifications in time to include this in my presentation, but I'll use it next time!

URGENT! Does anyone have a good screenshot or even a video showing a podcast app with a notification of a live show, or something that indicates the show is live (and looks obviously live)?
I'd like to show it at Podfest.
