HELLO NOSTR! I'm starting a new podcast but can't decide who the host should be. Spotify has a free version and then you can use Riverside. But will that work for NOSTR? Will I need another 2.0 hosting service to get Zaps? It's not about paying but I would like the option to have AI tool clean the sound and add duynamic advertising....any advice would be greatly appreciated. thx

Host it wherever you like then add your rss to fountain
It doesn't matter where you host it, just add the rss to whatever website that accept zaps
You can do spotify and riverside as planned, then add the rss feed on fountain
Please don't use spotify. Check out RSSBlue.com. Then get plugged in with the pioneers of PC2.0 like nostr:nprofile1qqsr5qnsn6medetj3vexljqqvy99gfdrgsp7hs9f52kdvrryz6gwkrsxg6l7w, nostr:nprofile1qqszm7l9ew24usqckahx2s4rhpuzz3xatatnty2dhxfpl5jv8v73qmgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0a8m5vw, nostr:nprofile1qqs00y32ptdnlfxa5hhv4f30dalwv9vl0a27pqpkdpkx3cyrstp50zqpg3mhxue69uhnwumjwgmkx6revvm8vmrg0fcxxvngdsmxc7t4denhvmr4da585undwsmnv6mzwv6xkmtev358y7r0v94kkcn3w4skgtnvda3kzmqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9j30sa9.
Zaps and boosts are similar, but different. Eventually you will want to run your own node which is the best way to be self sovereign and control your funds. nostr:nprofile1qqszxgvrzkpasudhvdjx3anl77qxse5wd6eunndmyv9x63uwnpn09mgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3e82efwvdhk6tcgt4a3x talks about this a lot especially with a focus on 2.0 features.
Lastly, there is a AI tool that nostr:nprofile1qqsd4dkxqewy8xum47ctpu0ltgxxsfemeewpjkdyzk9ddfcg286s0dsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvduhq6r9wfc82mnt9e6x7erp0yhs4deh46 uses, i can't remember what it is, but it cleans it up pretty well.

Automated audio magic
There are tons of hosting options but RSSBlue.com or PodHome.fm wound be my first recommendations.
I second this recommendation. nostr:npub1gr65v2hqq83n3vqfh6m65eej65hxlqwyjp0echc9ghvw5p6pvqpse3mmjc and nostr:npub1pj3a304qsdh99yr5wkug75rfznr284fzy7zalfnuwkctwyye2djsae7des are on nostr. It’s a safe bet they more align with your values, and the customer service from each is top notch. If you have a specific need, they’re more likely to work with you on a solution.
thanks for the zap… exciting getting the first ones that are actually registering in my account. Your zap note confused me tho. But now I see the context. Was about to recommend a podcast I recently listened to on Spotify.
You need to use nostr:nprofile1qqsqeg7ch6sgxmjjjp68twy02p53f34r653z0pwl5e78tv9hzzv4xegpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqjqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd3jkc6t8da3xjapwd35ku6e6xvcnqvps9pwdeg - they have AI features for automatic transcripts, chapters and clips. They also have an audio enhance AI that is a small add on fee based on length of audio. They also have value4value section to put in your lighting address (I use my fountain wallet)
For Nostr integration set up fountain, and link your Nostr.
Yes, Spotify will just fuck you. Stay away. I use RSS Blue and nostr:npub186ptarjwp53k6tz5fyzj2t0wcu9wtahrdh8lqca0j7065cuxfvksparxqq is very helpful! Very easy to do wallet splits so you get zaps for you, your guests, and the artists.
Not sure about advertising because there’s not much reason for that around here 😉
RSS Blue doesn’t have AI tools. Riverside does. Like any AI tools right now, they’re not great. I use Hindenburg to clean up and edit audio. But I also don’t have much time to do nostr:npub1w6gapkq7rajutrrgp89fyfcfxyt8rw7r4nuhfqnfa6306m7zh79s7f09sz, so I’ve gotten less fussy about it.
Welcome 🤗 to pod 2.0
nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 makes your podcast more Nostr. I use my fountain wallet address with RSS Blue to receive zaps ⚡️ I also keep it light, lean, and easy because I don’t have time to build a node and all that. If you just want to get a podcast off the ground, RSS Blue at $5/mo is great.
I know free is nice, but you need to take your podcast seriously.
Spotify retains the rights to reproduce your content (for instance in different languages, or otherwise), and can and will censor you. We (and RSSBlue) do not.
When you do not host at a modern podcast hosting platform, and use Fountain to make your podcast “boostable” and “zappable”, the lightning information is not stored in your RSS feed, but somewhere else.
This works for Fountain, but other modern apps like Podverse and CurioCaster are likely to not look for that magical extra information anymore, and will just look at what’s in your feed, making it so that listeners can’t boost your podcast from any app but Fountain.
Choose wisely. Spotify is a shitcoin.
