Howdy AC,

Do I understand it correctly from tweets of Tina:

no keeper cast this week, resuming next Wednesday on September 20th

so you’ll read then my boost from September 11th?

Howdy AC,

I don't mean to upset you, but I'm curious. You frequently state that "one can't monetize a podcast network," yet this company, https://www.relay.fm/about, appears to contradict that. They've successfully monetized their podcast network and have remained profitable for several years. So, isn't it possible to monetize a podcast network, especially if the company operates efficiently and leanly?

I disagree with you that Apple Watch sucks

I love it because :

-- it is the best fitness tracker in the world

-- it is remote control of iPhone so I can keep iPhone in different room and e.g. control Overcast app playing on iPhone 

-- it has fantastic complications (widgets on watch face) and apps, for example I see live bitcoin price chart on watch without touching anything

-- it is external display of iPhone so I can see for example battery status of iPhone on watch

by the way:

 Microsoft announces Surface Pro 10 next week on 21st September, maybe it's time for you to upgrade (I'm too satisfied with my Surface Pro 8 with 16GB RAM but I have heard you had issues with  your Surface Pro 7) to Surface Pro 10.

 Watching the Apple keynote.  What is a "user at risk of speech loss"? 
 @fce803cc 

See pic in attachment and see https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/apple-previews-live-speech-personal-voice-and-more-new-accessibility-features/ .

Shortly speaking: It’s not about Apple Watch but about iPhones and feature called “Personal Voice” which is described by Apple so: “those at risk of losing their ability to speak can use Personal Voice to create a synthesized voice that sounds like them for connecting with family and friends”.

Bottom line is that latest iPhones and Apple Watches have fat AI chips that can do AI stuff offline.

 Kudos to https://podcastindex.org :

I tried to add certain podcast to my subscriptions in Overcast appy app and it could not be found

I went to https://podcastindex.org and I found it. I copied URL and pasted in the app.

And it's nothing illegal. 

So it proves that https://podcastindex.org actually is better than Apple API for podcast search.

 sad: videos without RSS feed, without audio only component, are being called “podcast”.

case in point is the one, that  Mars Boy promoted yesterday: it’s on YouTube and on X but not as audio-only anywhere:

I expect nothing less than you doing demon voice effect on next episodes 😈 
 Next week finale of #foundation : season 2 episode 10 :

It will be epic like episode 9 was

Yez this TV show has less robotics than I expected but it takes place in remote future - year 18000 after Christ or so, so it has some cool technologies 

Still all previous epodes before season 2 episode 9 were lame.

Your node / split is failing, tested both in Boostagrams from podcast index dot org and Fountain app:

you are wrong, I mean RSS feed with music itself like this one: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6594757

and NOT podcasts where podcaster is playing music like DJ/VJ

 @6a75920f 

yez, i know

but what is this: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6594757

that is not a podcast playing music but the feed of music itself => musiccast 
 How about “MusicCast” for the name of something 

that delivers  music content using the podcasting infrastructure and integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network for microtransactions, as envisioned by the Podcasting 2.0 movement

?

One is for shure: iPod is nonexistent anymore…

So: I am forced, to send boostagrams to Unrelenting podcast, to use podcast index dot org website + getAlby browser extension because your appy app fails at Gene's node. If you could debug that problem with Gene's node and your app (other apps work on that node) then I would use your app instead for that podcast.

 @6a75920f 

yez, you posted your rodecaster settings once to me here because I have PodMicUSB that has the same DSP and the same software for PC/mac that rodecaster uses

you promised then to update your webpage "podfather gear" - http://adam.curry.com/html/PODFATHERGEAR-qKX0Rs9Gtp6GkGmxBTJF4Zt8wlRpjr.html - so that others could see your setttings

note: I abandoned PodMicUSB for the sake of MVX2U so I no longer am interested in any Rode settings.
