@js@podcastindex.social Yikes! Seems like the 301 redirect and the “new-feed-url” signals would be enough to get them to remove the old listings. Not that I expect it to be immediate, but a regular sanity check seems… warranted?

We have reached the point of the game where I’m disgusted by both the offense and defense. I’m out. 0–7 at the end of the first. Against fucking Kansas. #OU #Sooners #CFB #CollegeFootball @cfb@a.gup.pe

Good game, Kansas. You showed up to play the #6 team. The #6 team failed to play like the #6 team. I can always count on my #OU #Sooners to disappoint me at least once per season. #cfb #CollegeFootball @cfb@a.gup.pe

100 years ago, the Beer Hall Putsch. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to not see the parallels happening in the U.S. (and other places around the globe).RE: https://mstdn.social/users/W_Lucht/statuses/111375487560177402

Hey, podcasters. Read this. And then read it again. Reframe how you “sell” #podcasting—not just your podcast—to people who haven’t yet developed the podcast listing habit.RE: https://podcastindex.social/users/tomwebster/statuses/111375631034391776

I love it when truly novel ideas break what we think #podcasting can and/should be. If found a new on via @podnews@social.podnews.net today:https://podcal.appI'm not sure I fully grok the use-case of subscribing to podcasts in a calendar app, but I'm quite intriguted.

100% this. We've not put enough pressure on podcast listening app makers like Apple, Spotify, Amazon, et. al to add transcript viewing. https://open.substack.com/pub/podthenorth/p/why-cant-i-access-podcast-transcriptsAnd, honestly, there's absolutely no reason for them not to. We have an agreed-upon spec. Most podcast hosting companies allow for—if not downright encourage—transcripts. The software to make them is ubiquitous. This needs to happen, Apple, Spotify, et. al.#podcasting #Li

@grammargirl@zirk.us Audio fiction, done by a single actor. Like Scott Sigler’s stuff.

Oof. The top section of today's missive from @podnews@social.podnews.net makes it pretty clear that Spotify's love affair with podcasting is over. 😬https://podnews.net/update/spotify-layoffs-iab-certificI tend to not fret over Big Company Machinations. Though I am a little concerned about Megaphone. Did I mention 😬?#podcasting #li

Congrats, Michigan. Were I a serious fan of either you or Bama, this game would have aged me at least a decade. Michigan 27–20 AlabamaNow I shall pray to the Old Gods so that Washington can devour #TexasSucks.#collegeFootball #cfb #CFP @cfb@a.gup.pe

30 minutes ago, I was opining how this could be a good game. Michigan, however, decided it should be a rout instead. Goodness. Here’s to hoping Washington can make some adjustments. But I’m less than hopeful. 14–3 start of 2nd. #cfb #cfp #CollegeFootball @cfb@a.gup.pe

@grammargirl@zirk.us The auto created videos aren’t anything interesting to look at.I only advice connecting your podcast’s RSS feed to YouTube if you aren’t already posting videos. Just about anything anyone does manually will look much better than what YT does. Cuz it doesn’t do much.

@grammargirl@zirk.us No, I find it hard to fathom YT will push low-effort/static image videos to people.

@lizcovart@historians.social @grammargirl@zirk.us Yeah, if your hosting service auto generates and publishes videos, sure. Do it. But beyond Libsyn, I’m not sure many others do.

@grammargirl@zirk.us And here’s what YT makes: https://youtube.com/@TheEndUpdatesI’ve never created or uploaded a video for that channel. Every video is from the connected RSS feed for that show.

@grammargirl@zirk.us @lizcovart@historians.social I wouldn’t worry about marrying stats. YT video stats are mostly vanity metrics when it comes to these kinds of videos. Maybe it’s not apples and oranges, but it is probably lemons and oranges. I’ve yet to see an interesting way to merge the two. The audiences and listener/watcher experience and dynamic are just too different. And I further think that YT will learn that as well, pulling the plug on this in the next 18 months. Or just abandoning it, as is Google’s wont. Or the lean all the way in and give us tools to make interesting videos without being video creators. Which I find unlikely.
