ikr... it's such a great way to stay abreast of the latest technical developments in the nostr world!
Also looking forward to more podcast episodes.
Podcast #3 is just released.
Nostr Compass Podcast #3
The third episode of the Nostr Compass Podcast is here. This special episode celebrates Nostr's fifth anniversary with a deep retrospective tracing the protocol's evolution through every December since 2020.
We start with HODL invoice escrows in Shopstr, then journey through five years of December milestones: from fiatjaf's first client release in December 2020, through the Hacker News moment in 2021, Jack Dorsey's pivotal 14 BTC donation in 2022, the NIP-44 encryption audit in 2023, to 2024 and 2025's ecosystem expansion with NDK's 162x cache speedup and NIP-55 signer proliferation.
Plus: Amethyst's desktop module takes shape, voice messaging arrives, local relays and offline functionality, data resilience patterns, NIP updates, ZapStore improvements, npub.cash, and more.
Whether you've been here since the Branle days or just discovered Nostr, this episode puts five years of protocol development into perspective.

Oh, great! I added your podcast via the castr.me link to my podcasting app, but it always fails fetching subscription. The castr site seems to load maybe once every few days for me, but constantly errors even in the browser. Is there a more reliable URL to stay subscribed?
I missed episode release 2 and 3 due to this issue.
Thanks!
Yeah I wonder if something happened with the feed. The website only shows episode 1 as well.
Yes, I suspect the feed is just very dodgy, I always get an error trying to load it. Maybe it's ipfs or some other distributed hosting system and it's not well propagated.
