On today's show I test out livestreaming again. This is for my music podcast called Sats and Sounds. I got it all working to be able to record but there was no audio coming from Curiocaster or The Split Kit. These are things to figure out in the coming weeks. But, at least the live stream worked in Podverse and it was streaming on the website at http://stream.satsandsounds.com ....
This is a test of putting on a live streaming music show with wallet switching from The Split Kit. Here are some links to apps where you can see this happen in real-time.

My music experiment finally worked and I've been producing a music podcast since August. I called the podcast Sats and Sounds and it is just one of many music podcasts that have popped up since Adam Curry started Boostagram Ball and Podcasting 2.0 created the valueTimeSplit tag which enabled "Magic Wallet Switching Technology". I saw a couple videos on how other people produce their shows so I thought I'd take a crack at showing my process. I use simple cheap tools that do the job to my satisfac...
Let's see if I can get it right this time. The last time out I think I published my RSS feed with a mistake in the song's GUID. This time out, using Podcasting 2.0's last episode's RSS feed as a guide, I confirmed which GUIDs to use. So before I hit Podping to publish my feed I will make sure everything in the remoteItem and valueTimeSplit tags are correct. The song I chose is titled "Cherry On Top" by Ainsley Costello . It's a rockin' little pop tune by a 19 year old girl in Nashville. https://...
On the Podcasting 2.0 podcast they've been playing music regularly to promote the idea of Value4Value streaming payments to music artists. I see this as a first step to really opening up all entertainment to Value4Value. Anyone with a Lightning Network Node ID and an RSS feed can have their entertainment streamed, viewed, or listened to and get paid directly from the consumer as it happens. I find this stuff fascinating. All this happens because of the valueTimeSplit and remoteItem tags. If the ...
I guess I'm podcasting again. This time I'm a little more independent because I want to see how Sovereign Feeds work and I feel more comfortable with an XML file for my feed rather than one that is autogenerated at a directory. It's definitely not as easy as PowerPress but it's more complete and flexible when working with Podcasting 2.0 standards and tags. In this episode I talk about the new podcast I created and give an overview of what I've done so far. I plan on giving regular updates here o...
That is the real question for me. I don’t like wearing headphones while podcasting and I wanted to hear what it sounds like if I don’t wear them while recording. I think I sound much better and more natural. I feel like I’m whispering a bit when using headphones because I can hear myself too well. You be the judge. I went back and listened to other episodes of my other podcasts and I think I sound louder and more energetic when recording without headphones. Enjoy the rare episode of Podcast Idio...
I traveled to Chicago a week ago and thought I would record two of my podcasts from my hotel room. Big mistake and EPIC FAIL!! I didn’t test out anything prior to leaving. I just figured everything would work! Hahahaha. I was dead wrong. The equipment I brought was a Zoom F2 Field Recorder and my Microsoft Surface Go. I also had my Pixel 3 and the necessary cables to connect everything together. Little did I know the TRRS cable I have did absolutely nothing in getting audio from my phone into my...
Episode 10 I said it was episode 8 but it’s actually episode 10. Ooooops! I guess I haven’t refined my workflow enough yet. This is what podcasting feels like to me My two active podcasts are in their 9th episodes. Miracle that I have the attention span to keep that going for more than two months. I’m terrible at promotion and asking for donations. I’m starting to feel my way through a process that allows me to do show prep as I blog. Came up with a file naming convention that is easy for me to ...
At first I didn’t understand the concept of transcripts and chapters in podcasts. But I listened intently, followed along with the Podcasting 2.0 podcast , and asked questions on podcastindex.social until I finally understood how easy it is to include these features in your podcast. Here’s how I make them and include them. Transcripts The simplest part is the transcript. I start on the transcript almost immediately after the episode has been recorded. I take my mp3 file, upload it to otter.ai , ...
I finally go into my podcasting equipment, how I host the files, and why I do it the way I do. I also discuss the other podcasts I launched. Chasing the Yield That’s All I Got
Image by StockSnap from Pixabay As I said in my post yesterday I haven’t been sitting still. I revamped the web site, moved my RSS feed again, added transcripts, and now chapters! Today I figured out the json file business as it pertains to chapters in the Podcast 2.0 namespace. It’s exciting to see them work in different podcast apps. Making chapters can be tedious but it is far easier than I thought and it can be done after the fact. You just need the entry in your RSS feed and when the file i...
I’m not used to podcasting and as such I find it difficult to organize my thoughts when recording. On the positive side, my RSS feed is fixed!
I covered a lot of this ground on the last episode but it wasn’t fully resolved so I’m going over it a little again. The RSS feed fiasco I had moving from Castopod to Blubrry PowerPress through me for a loop. I didn’t think it would be that hard to fix. But, it’s fixed now so hopefully the indexes will also be fixed in the coming days. Old podcast feed New podcast feed Blubrry PowerPress Plugin Podcast Namespace Plugin Castopod 301 redirect creator Get your domain name on Hover.com Get hosting o...
I wanted to move off Castopod and ended up in RSS hell. The where the domain was pointing and subsequently where the feed points got all screwed up!
I add a soundboard to the mix and get the intro music loaded into the Podtrak
I fix the audio levels a bit and I get some intro music.
I just ramble a bit here to get something recorded to start learning the equipment. It’s barely audible because I didn’t have the levels set correctly in Audacity.
Starting over and testing out PowerPress
