@adam & @dave Just saw that there’s an anniversary today!
Today it’s exactly 1 year since I sent you the first open source simple podcast player using the Podcast Index: https://podfriend.com/simpleplayer/#/ (and https://github.com/MartinMouritzen/PodcastPlayer ).
Time sure does fly fast. In some ways it feels like a lot longer time than a year though!

(Adding geolocated episodes on a map page 🗺)

Why is it so hard to find #podcasts? 🔍 Why is it so hard to make my podcast discoverable? 📢
Now that every phone has a GPS, why is it impossible to find episodes located near me? 🤷
As a matter of fact, it is possible! 💡
Thanks to the PodcastIndex location tag and to @Castopod you can put your podcast on the map now! 📍
If you want to learn more about geo-located podcasts, I will give a talk at the 🇳🇱 Amsterdam #podcastfestival2021 (Sept 24th), get your ticket now!

Listening to this week's Podland by @jamescridland & @samsethi, I was wondering if there is room for a new tag
<podcast:legalContact>
<podcast:producer>
<podcast:name>John Doe</podcast:name>
<podcast:email>john@doe.tld<podcast:email>
</podcast:producer>
<podcast:hostingCompany>
<podcast:name>Podcast Hosting Inc.</podcast:name> <podcast:email>legal@hosting.tld<podcast:email>
</podcast:hostingCompany>
</podcast:legalContact>
This tag would be filled by the hosting company.
Happy Birthday @adam ! 🥳🎁🎂

Another thing worth knowing - Twitter is apparently testing tips via the Lightning network. Massive for us if true. https://twitter.com/alex193a/status/1432963409151135744?s=19
This haircut made my day.
I hope it makes yours.
