This week in London - the Podcast Standards Project met to discuss the adoption of new features that improve open podcasting for both listeners and creators.
Our goal is to keep podcasting open and ensure you always have choice of where to listen - without centralised platforms dictating the experience and forcing specific ad volumes or algorithms.
I am advocating within this group to use nostr as the social layer for podcasts - powering likes, comments, and social recommendations by using NIP-73 to canonically reference shows and episodes via their GUIDs - just like we do in @npub1v5uf...n0v5 today where all of this data is open for anyone to use.
If you believe in keeping podcasting open - whilst enriching the experience to match the big platforms - help me advocate to the rest of the industry:
- use @npub1v5uf...n0v5 and share feedback on what’s working and what’s not
- reach out to your favourite podcasts and tell them about nostr
- as a podcaster - ask your hosting company to support nostr
- repost / share this note with others who are interested
