I don't think so. I think only Apple’s own apps can facilitate peer-to-peer Apple Cash payments.

1. If most podcasters don’t use chapters or even include links in their show notes, how will you convince them to do even more work?
2. If app developers think this is a good idea, why shouldn’t they get a cut of sales from those clicks? Why not skip the podcaster and generate affiliate links themselves?
I’m not advocating for these outcomes. I’m asking us to confront these possibilities instead of ignoring them.

I might finally write a blog post explaining my thesis here, but my position isn’t “we just need LLMs.” I’d love to support a tag like this on Podlink.
My position is more, “the incentives are stacked against this achieving **any** level of adoption,” and advocates will need to navigate the systemic pressures at play.

Topics like this make me wish for something like https://wpt.fyi/interop-2026 for podcasting. (I’d hoped that the PSP would lead that charge, but alas everyone’s got their own priorities)

I love structured data as much as the next nerd, and wish this idea the best of luck. But I’m convinced that using LLMs to derive data from transcripts will remain the purview of players not feeds.

Oh interesting! A lot more automated than I was imagining. I wonder if you could get that working with the new EleventLabs Avatars Flows tooling https://elevenlabs.io/blog/introducing-avatars

in your shoes, I would load the images into a presentation app (or just a webpage with forward/back keyboard control), and then record into OBS where you could add the presentation as a browser overlay. That way, you can control the timing live with no editing after the fact.

https://hls.livewire.io/ shows 1400+ episodes using HLS in alternateEnclosure. Not sure if just checking the Index's top 200 is a representative sample. I’m not sure how that popularity is currently calculated.

I might have been the initial advocate for moving to Discussions over Issues. So, I'm not necessarily the right person to ask. 😅
The primary downside of Issues is the visible counter, making it looks like there's a lot of bugs that need addressing. Closing an issue with a PR is fine, but otherwise, if an issue had no realistic hope of formalization, there was no incentive to upset someone by closing it. So everything stayed open, and the counter would trend towards infinity.

Do we wanna migrate this issue into a discussion? It might also be a good idea to create a GitHub Issue Template to discourage proposals as issues https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository

I'm working on `podcast:image` support for Podlink, anybody got a feed that already supports it?

2026-05-27 21:39:55 CEST

- reply

I'm sure you don't want to handle lookup requests with two potentially conflicting identifiers, but Podlink gets the feedURL from Apple before requesting anything from the Index. So I could pass along both as "enrichment" data with every request. (As opposed to using the `/add` endpoints.)

Investgating this specific one further, feed ID 5220320 exists with no iTunes ID. The feed URL in Apple is https://brandbuildinglab.libsyn.com/rss and PI has https://feeds.libsyn.com/339047/rss. Both 302 to the same final Libsyn RSS URL. Looks like redirect/canonical URL matching was the gap I wasn’t handling.

2026-05-22 18:33:28 CEST

@npub1rcn…dw4h When Podlink looks up a show by its itunesID and the Index returns no results but the feed is already in the Index, is there anything you'd like me to do with that information?

Whenever that endpoint is ready, I’d love to get it added to Podlink!

The catch-22 is that a feature is only useful for shows that adopted a new tag, it may not be compelling enough to build. But if it is compelling enough to build, apps will want it to work for all shows, so they will derive the data from transcripts instead.
And once developers realize they can ship the feature without waiting for ecosystem adoption, they are actually dis-incentivized to support a tag's adoption. Not maliciously, but it just doesn't benefit them.

2026-05-19 20:24:57 CEST

In 2026, I'm not sure we’ll ever see a new Podcasting 2.0 tag gain widespread adoption if the structured data can otherwise be derived from the transcript.

2026-04-30 22:31:42 CEST

I'm leaving on a two week trip tomorrow, which might be just enough time for my M1 Max Mac Studio to process the entire Podcasting 2.0 back catalog with Microsoft’s VibeVoice for high-quality speaker diarization. (I already did a pass with pyannote, but we'll see if this is meaningfully better.)

IIUC, they’re selling brands a cheaper ad unit against content where they assume the consumer isn’t looking at the screen, such as audiograms or just playing a video on desktop in a backgrounded tab. Doesn’t mean the phone’s screen is necessarily off.

“audio ads are designed for videos where audience members may only be glancing at the screen occasionally, or might be ignoring the visuals altogether. To be clear, these ads won’t be audio-only, but YouTube says the audio should be doing most of the communication, while the visual side is limited to “a still image or simple animation.”

Podcast apps could fix this today. Crawl every link in show notes for RSS feeds and Schema‍.org podcast metadata — the same way RSS readers already detect feeds behind web pages. If a link points to a podcast, open it natively. Subscribe, preview, play. No browser redirect.

Podcasting is an internet-born medium that never really grew up on the web. Most episodes have a canonical URL, but nobody sends listeners there. The browser isn't where podcasts happen. Your podcast app is. And that shaped everything about discovery.

Apologies if this was discussed on an episode I missed, but I was thinking about the flood of slop, and how the index/hosts/apps aren't incentivized to maintain the commons.
Imagine a world where you didn't host the index, you just maintained the open-source project for other people to self-host it. Feed parsing, database ingestion, etc. and the burden of slop fell on each party's growing number of database rows. Much more motivation for contributors to find a solution.

IMO the right way to draw the threshold is to ask, "If a major app rolled out auto-AI-detection, what listener-facing features would that enable?" and then ask ourselves, "If a tiny app wanted to offer listeners those same features, what new tags would get us there?"
Of course, if the new tags require broad adoption before they reach parity with the auto-AI-detection resource-intensive version, then they will struggle to gain any traction.

I never revised the proposal after Sam and Todd’s comments, but I like the idea of just extending the person tag to indicate a synthetic voice. I’ll start a new discussion on GitHub

Podcasting 2.0 Folks: Does anyone here have a sample RSS feed using the alternate enclosure tag with an HLS-powered video stream?

2025-02-28 19:11:41 CET

- reply

It seems like your POV is, “podcasters should be certain the assets they provide will be displayed well in all the apps,” and the strategy to achieve that is to rally podcasters behind a small number of purposes. Then, focus on convincing apps to support those use cases. IMO, this strategy is doomed because it requires widespread adoption before the apps become interested.

EpisodesFM is very close to launching support for all RSS feeds (not just shows in Apple’s directory), and I’d love to make sure V4V music is well supported. Does anyone have vector logos for LN Beats or Tunestr?
