Just finished the last episode of Podcasting 2.0 using Podfriend. Sent over 1500 sats!

A good read on the lightning network from advanced wallet developers Breeze.
Very informative

If you're interested in learning about the technology behind #Podcasting2.0, Dave Jones knocks it out of the park on "Pragmatic" http://l.curry.com/fnR
Is there somewhere to go for a good primer on the lightning network, setting up a node, and how the system works? I've looked around and the things I've found are for people who already know something about it. Nothing for total newbs

I HIGHLY recommend podfriend, which doesn't (yet) have mobile native apps, but works great in a chromium-based browser on mobile and also has Mac and Windows native apps. Audio speed is baked in too (although I am a 1.0 kinda listener but I get it)!
Big Podcasting 2.0 participant and @martin is always interested in user feedback.

Hello. I’m here as a listener of NoAgenda. I find the podcasting 2.0. Idea awesome. I love free speech and want to learn how to begin my own podcast and see if I’m any good at it. Thanks to Adam for your recent show on THC speaking about this topic in a more technical way. I hope to learn and find my way into a new and interesting way to share a piece of myself. While hopefully bringing some value and smiles to others. Peace and Love

Good and exciting work from Libsyn - they've added the namespace for Podcasting 2.0 in all their feeds, so you can now hand-code tags into Libsyn feeds. @podnews
Libsyn has added in the namespace for Podcast Index and Google Podcasts by default in their feeds “in preparation on productisation”. This work now allows podcasters to hand-code Podcast Index tags into feeds at their own risk - “picture a big flashing neon proceed-with-caution light”, said Rob Walch in The Feed episode 185 (47’04").
@dave How often does the index update RSS feeds?

New version of Podfriend out!
I wanted to release this before the dive into the value tag!
New stuff:
Sync of favorite podcast across platforms.
Space to start/stop podcast
Reset password option
And a few more smaller things
The sync is a bit wonky, because it preserves if you already had favorites locally (I didn't want to risk deleting anything) but it's still probably better than nothing! Later on, listen status and progress in episodes will be added.
Let me know if you hit any bugs!
@dave Is there a way to edit a feed in the index? Or do I just have to submit a new one and the old RSS feed will live on in perpetuity?
In experimenting with different publishing platforms I may want to switch and the feed produced by one cannot be made compatible with the other.
@Castopod I think when publishing an episode Castopod uses the timezone for the webhost I'm using. If I set the published time back 8 hours my episode updates the RSS immediately. If I leave it the current time it does not. Is there a way to include a timezone offset in the Podcast settings like Wordpress?

Happy 20th birthday, podcasting. The first podcast feed was made today, Jan 20, 2001. The history of the medium is over here (which I'm publishing later in Podnews). https://podnews.net/article/first-podcast-feed-history

"The Pied Piper of podcasting" - yikes!
@Castopod When publishing a podcast everything goes to a single folder. Is it possible to have each episode save to its own folder?
@Castopod There seems to be a lag between when a podcast is published and when Castopod writes to the RSS feed. Is there a way to adjust how long that takes? I can see the podcast on my dashboard but it doesn't show up in the RSS for a while.
@martin Have you considered adding a playlist function to Podfriend? It would be great if I could add episodes to a playlist and have those play in succession.

@adam @Johncdvorak This might be interesting for NA, but I wish the developer also used Twitter and Facebook data, since those platforms were used, too, to incite violence.

Podfriend, now in the Microsoft Store http://l.curry.com/fn8

Oh my god... Is that Podfriend in the Microsoft Store?
It is!
(I had to compile it a bit differently to get it accepted, so it lost it's round nice borders compared to if you download from the website - I hope to fix that in the future)
@castopod How do you delete a podcast? I can see how to edit it but I don't see how to delete it.
I really like what you have developed here. Thanks to @adam for showing me this.
