Congratulations for now being officially bigger than Apple Podcasts (and therefore the largest open podcast directory in the world).

(Is there a simple method to send podcasters to "add your show to the Podcast Index"? I notice you're missing from https://podnews.net/article/our-podcast )

@dave getting 502's on api, you aware?

❤️ A @satoshisstream user says:

" I’ll tell you though.. been trying to monetize my pod for a year in the “traditional” way

Only 3 weeks on Sphinx, podcast index, breez and I’m already making more directly from my listeners than I have in 12 months the “old way" "

Soon we are going to tell you the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Podcasting, The Fediverse, and Everything.
@Castopod alpha-4️⃣2️⃣ is coming… 🤫

Slowly adding SoundBites and PC2.0 Chapters to Causality. At this point the low-hanging fruit of MP3s that used to have ID3 Chapters have all been done, that’s Episodes 22 to current (except 23). Prior to that there were no chapters in Causality, but I’m reconsidering that moving forward. Soundbites just added for Ep39 and I updated those on Ep1. I’m going to limit them to <90 seconds and a maximum of 4 per episode because after that I think it’s a bit much.

@adam All of use guys, including @dave who are working to bring back RSS are awesome and we're succeeding!

(oops, I accidentally just complimented myself)

✅ @adam and @dave you will like this: If episodes have chapters, they are added in the export! Your boosts + streaming sats are linked to chapters!

Just have not been able to test because I do not have a chapter-enabled podcast!
