Sorry my 'tism is kicking in on this one. Here's the splits in your RSS feed, displayed on podcastindex.org, shown when you sent a Boostagram in PodcastGuru and shown in Fountain if you click the pie chart.

Splits have been baked into #PC20 since the beginning mainly to get the app devs paid because Joe Rogan blows up and the app devs didn't make a dime.

All transparent and auditable down to the feed level.

The RSS Feed is the source of truth for open podcasting.

Yo Chad!

Would you mind clarifying the above notes? I wasn’t quite sure what you were referring to.

We are fans of RSS2.0 and have it currently implemented as an option for filmmakers to publish films with.

Although that’s a significantly different business model, we are still fans.

You kind of made it sound like there was a middleman with podcasting 2.0 when I came to lightning and there isn't.

The apps pull the payment data right from the RSS feed and you can see where it's all being sent right in the app.

Ah, got it. Apologies for the confusion.

I’d have to listen to the segment to clarify, but I may have been referring to actually hosting the content for users and having to charge them for that. 🤔

But yeah, we’re pretty familiar with it and yes, from a payments perspective the best part about it is not having any custodial issues.
