Gift micropayments (small amounts of money of your choosing) to the podcasts you love without leaving your modern podcast app.
Boosts (we'll talk about streaming too soon!) are in-app payments that also serve as a discovery mechanism for shows. These micropayments, enabled by Bitcoin – which can be converted into local currencies – not only enhance the monetization potential for podcasters but also increase visibility for their content. By sharing boosts, listeners can let their networks know about the shows they enjoy, creating a powerful feedback loop between creators and their audience.
Fountain.fm's Oscar Merry explains how boosts function similarly to traditional support platforms but with a significant advantage: they happen in real-time and foster a sense of community. Listeners become ambassadors for the content they love, sharing their support in a way that promotes further discovery and engagement.
We also touch on the importance of actively inviting listeners to support the show through boosts. It’s clear that communication is key; if podcasters don’t ask for support, their audience might not think to provide it. Oscar shares insights on how successful shows incorporate regular calls to action, highlighting the value of their content and the role of listener contributions in continuing their work. This not only builds a stronger connection with the audience but also encourages a culture of support and feedback, vital for the growth of any podcast.

If we want podcast apps and hosting companies to implement the features we like, we need to communicate our needs directly—after all, they’re not mind readers!
From simple feedback to organized group requests, we can encourage these platforms to embrace the Podcasting 2.0 features that we believe are beneficial to all.
Persistence is key; by continually advocating for our needs, we can influence the uptake of 2.0 technology. So, let’s get proactive and show them we care about the features that matter most to us!

James Cridland shares insights on Apple's initiative to integrate transcripts into their podcasting platform, and discusses the process they use to do so, which includes allowing the podcaster to supply their own Podcasting 2.0 transcript.

The episode further explores the technical aspects of transcript formats like SRT and VTT, with Cridland advocating for VTT due to its superior functionality, such as speaker identification.
The conversation culminates in a compelling call to action for podcasters to take control of their transcripts, ensuring accuracy and enhancing engagement with their audience.

How transcripts enhance accessibility and improve content discoverability.
Ellie Rubinstein, head of Pocket Casts, explains how transcripts serve as written versions of podcast episodes, making them searchable and enabling better audience engagement.
In a crowded content environment, by attaching transcripts to their episodes using the Podcasting 2.0 tags, podcasters can increase their reach and visibility on search engines. Additionally, 2.0 transcripts allow creators to maintain control over their content, ensuring accuracy and authenticity, especially when it comes to correcting AI-generated text.

Updates to TrueFans book icon
I have made a post-production update to the chapter called TrueFans: chapters icon. Ignore what I said about a different screen, BUT, as well as scrolling down you can click on the icon that looks like a bulleted list NOT a little book icon. It also might not be 4th from the left, it might be third.I HAVE updated the photo that corresponds to this chapter, so that is correct . . . for now!.

Chapters in podcasting are transforming the way listeners engage with audio content by allowing for a more interactive and visual experience.
Daniel J. Lewis explains how these chapters function similarly to a slideshow, enhancing the listening experience with images and actionable links that can be updated independently from the audio file.
This innovation not only helps listeners skip to the parts they care about most but also makes the content more accessible and engaging.
As Daniel shares his extensive podcasting background, he emphasizes the importance of focusing on the audience's needs and the potential for chapters to improve content discovery in the future.

Learn about the history of podcasting in it's first and second iterations from James Cridland, and earn yourself some extra imaginary credit!
In this chat James shares insights on the origins of podcasting, tracing its roots back to a blog post written by Adam Curry in 2001 and the subsequent collaboration with Dave Weiner to develop RSS technology for audio distribution. This collaboration was instrumental in democratizing audio content creation, allowing anyone with a microphone and a computer to share their voice with the world.
We hear about the disputed origin of the word 'podcast', and the impact of Apple’s involvement on the medium's popularity and mainstream acceptance.
For nearly a decade after the initial boom, podcasting saw little innovation, leading to a perception that the medium had become stale.
Introduce to the stage, Podcasting 2.0, the initiative designed to bring new features to the forefront of podcasting, enhancing user experience and encouraging deeper interaction with audio content and its creators.
