@billt is it the show that’s ending? Or your involvement? Either way it really has been quite a journey. Congratulations!

@billt oh man, sorry to hear that, but I'm sure it will also mean new doors will be opening etc... It's been a blast listening off and on over the many years

@dave @james I hadn’t appreciated that was a deliberate strategic decision. Still feels as though the initiative is moving at a terrific pace of innovation

@james from ux perspective this could be a game changer. Mass participation depends on removal of friction and apple style "it just works".

@russell @dave change just the language? Or change the actual currency you’re using to boost? Because it’s crazy to spend $30 on pizza and then in 5 years time you look back and realise that pizza cost you $10,000. Boosting/streaming sats to podcasters is nuts, in the same way that you shouldn’t buy coffee or pizza with it.

@Todd_Blubrry @ericpp would these issues be helped if the PSP pushed for all their standards to become a formal ISO Standard (eg ISO:xx001). There would be additional costs involved in order for apps and hosts to gain the accreditation but it would also have greater likelihood of industry wide adoption. It would also slow things down enough to allow businesses like Blubrry to not be overwhelmed by constant new additions to the standard (generally ISO standards update only every few years)

@Todd_Blubrry @ericpp @james I guess my question is: what would your thoughts be on the industry creating a new ISO standard based on direction and input from the PSP?

@james @Todd_Blubrry @ericpp I think some sort of formalised accreditation is the only way PSP will increase adoption of all the standards they’re currently promoting, and the only way of creating a uniform minimum baseline of features that the entire industry should be delivering.

@james @Todd_Blubrry @ericpp I also think it would elevate and professionalise the industry in the eyes of larger institutional financial investors.

@james @Todd_Blubrry @ericpp not to mention the fact that it would be a system that engineers, quality assurance etc in big business would understand. Their technical/QA teams need something solid and static to measure against. So no changes to the standard for at least 3 years in order to achieve widespread adoption before any updates to standard are rolled out. But new pod 2.0 features get announced so frequently I’m not surprised Apple/Spotify don’t bother even trying to keep up

@russell @dave James provided a fascinating analysis showing how, even with free tier, Spreaker are actually making profit with the thousands of slop podcasts made by Inception Point. If that’s the case, there’s no incentive for hosting companies to solve this problem unless others in the industry force their hand.

@dave @russell @james your comment implies the hosting companies want to stop this. But Spreaker are making money from it. Why would they want to stop it? Why wouldn’t other hosting companies want to encourage the next Inception Point to set up with them instead?

@james @dave @francosolerio given the local climate, is there not a building culture (or even building regs) in that part of Australia for massive amounts of insulation?

@james @dave @francosolerio don’t you live in one of the sunniest/hottest spots on the planet?!?!?? Do you have climate deniers in charge of local/state government or something? It’s like that phrase about leaving money on the table, except it’s sunshine on the roof
