What is a podcast? It's a text file that has text fields like Title, Description, Author, etc, and links to files like cover art and mp3s. That's it. What is a nostr note? It's a text file that has text fields, usually comment, but could be Title, Description, Author, etc, and links to files like cover art and mp3s. That's it. What makes the two different? nostr has a signature signing aspect to verify ownership of the note, and stores the notes on multiple relays that usually someone else owns. RSS stores the file on a single single server that usually someone else owns.

If you're looking for a particular value enabled song but you don't remember which album it was on, you can now search for the song in LN Beats.

NWC for Podcasting 2.0 is going to problematic. If you have a value block in your podcast, you've been using keysend, you probably just didn't realize it. Most wallets don't support keysend. If you want to use your wallet of choice to send sats to your favorite podcaster, probably won't happen unless the podcaster switches to lnaddress in their value block, or the wallet starts supporting keysend.

Interesting article on how digital media and app interfaces changes, or perhaps reveals what we actually like in the world.

Loving the interface.

Here's an idea for nostr. You guys can actually engage in value for value with music and artists. Instead of letting chatGPT create another 'digital art' cover for your song or album, ask a real person to create art for your song and include the artist in your value block. Then every time your song gets zapped, the album artist gets paid too.

I ran some numbers from the v4v music revolution last night. If you're using Wavlake as your player of choice, you're missing out on 25% of the songs available. I understand if you want to use them as a hosting company, but you're doing yourself a disservice if you use them as your music player.
