Excellent, thank you. I've heard good things about Sovereign Feeds in the past.
You’re welcome. I’ve heard the same about them
nostr:npub1yvgrrzf4dnmu30qfhw95x87ruu0g2kpv3a64h8hpvqsre8qeuspsgd6pv9 has your back. You don’t need little ol me haha 💪
Hey brother. Complete tech retard here.
Been thinking about doing some short videos showing how I make soap in near future. Do any of these allow editing, and will it be simple enough for even me to use it? 🙏
I’m not sure about editing capabilities. I haven’t looked that closely at these. I would typically expect these to just be the hosting and RSS side of the equation. I would edit on my computer personally. Happy to chat about it more if you want to move to another thread or App.
what's podcasting 2.0
I have been hosting / running one for a couple of years now. Would be happy to help with recommendations. Feel free to dm me.
Are you willing to reply here and tell me what you use?
I don't believe in DMs
Sure. Podhome is a great host if you don’t want to self host. They support all the podcasting 2.0 features. I tried self hosting with castopod. I have an extensive background in system engineering - I could not get it to work properly after moving two podcast over to my vps and spending multiple weeks working on it. I finally moved to pothole so my listeners would not continue to have problems.
Powerpress ( a Wordpress plugin ) is the only other self host that I know of that supports pc 2.0. I have no experience with it.
Castopod offers a hosting service as well it seems but I haven’t used it. After having such a rough experience with the php app I was in no mood to user their service.
What else beyond that are you looking to get input on?
Excellent! That's precisely what I was looking for, thank you.
Have you tried the BTCPay plugin (Podserver, I believe?) by any chance?

I really liked when you made podcast appearance.
You are one of the best signals out there
What do all the #DeMu people use nowadays? nostr:nprofile1qqszm7l9ew24usqckahx2s4rhpuzz3xatatnty2dhxfpl5jv8v73qmgpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef07y5n4a
I handhack my RSS feed and always reference the DIY DeMu feed on GitHub or MusicSideProject.com like nostr:nprofile1qqszxyp33y6kea7ghsymhz6rrlp7w859tqkg7a2mnmskqgpunsv7gqcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvehh2mn5v95kutnxd5mgakvh did.
BUT I will add for a music show like Homegrown Hits where we play songs and expect the value time splits to change so sats go straight to each artist, TheSplitKit is a lifesaver as it puts together the timecode json for chapters and the VTS tags for the feed. That's at TheSplitKit.com

If you want easy and have cool AI tools to play with checkout nostr:npub1pj3a304qsdh99yr5wkug75rfznr284fzy7zalfnuwkctwyye2djsae7des it's what nostr:npub1jcympy69pht7ptan39se4nd09e4q66qhey649uu3rczm2zh88c7s0n2890 nostr:npub10atn74wcwh8gahzj3m0cy22fl54tn7wxtkg55spz2e3mpf5hhcrs4602w3 and nostr:npub1qdcakl75gd7wv0nqmmwrz09ddm5tzl7xj8lq2gclng2qzd8up5yqjpzclt all use.
Ungovernable Misfits does it the best imo.
Thank you! 🙏
Use Alby Hub to receive payments directly through you node, it comes with a lightning address. Just be sure to open public channels so boost payments work
The Lightning part is the easy part. My question is more around hosting & RSS feed generation etc.
This might be helpful:
https://podcasting2.org/podcasters
RSS, RSS Blue, JustCast, Cowlabs, blubrry, podcast guru are all podcasting 2.0 service providers
I’ve heard nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle is a professional podcaster now. He might be able to get you set up
If you maintain your own website, it's as easy as using https://sovereignfeeds.com/
* Build your feed by inputting all the pertinent info it asks for
* Host your assets on a website (in most instances, I personally just use wordpress and throw mp3s/jpegs and direct link to them in the feed)
*Upload the newly created rss.xml file onto your website
*Go to https://podcastindex.org/add and paste in a direct link to the feed here and boom within a couple of minutes the podcast will start to populate in the apps.
I've used nostr:npub1yvgrrzf4dnmu30qfhw95x87ruu0g2kpv3a64h8hpvqsre8qeuspsgd6pv9 's tools to upload over 100 different rss feeds and can attest to these steps. Please hit me back with any questions.
It's easier to show this with the music but it's the same principle for a podcast:

Direct link to the .xml file: https://music.behindthesch3m3s.com/wp-content/uploads/Mellow%20Cassette/Damn%20Good%20Haunting/damn%20good%20haunting.xml
Link created inside the podcast index once you upload the above .xml file: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6856243
That should say add the link to the .xml file in podcast index, not upload.
Thank you, that's useful 🙏
Record, upload to Apple podcast for creators, get rss feed, submit to podcastindex.org, claim your podcast on fountain.fm, done
Or do like nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 does.
Nostr Nests
RSS Blue
Overhead is about $5 after you have a mic. Lol
Nests implies live, correct?
We are literally doing a show on podcasting 2.0 LIVE in 15 minutes. Then we download audio from nest, and upload audio to RSS Blue.
powerpress (wordpress plugin) supports podcasting including all the podcasting 2.0 features (value splits, chapters, ...)
pair with own lightning node.
get a dashboard for boosts, if your node is clightning, there's one on my GitHub, lnd people use helipad
forgot to mention this is the easy (not sure if easiest) self hosted solution
many other options if you want to use a platform, but I don't. I think the point of bitcoin is sovereignty and that translates to podcasts bitcoiners do
Adam Curry
I think if you email Adam at his domain you can get sent a basic how to.
Wow, I can't believe how many responses you have for this. Here are my 2 sats.
Here's how I do it.
I host my own RSS feeds and MP3s on my own digitalocean server.
I create my feeds with sovereignfeeds.com (SF)
You already have a lightning wallet so plugging that info into SF is a breeze.
I have over 30 podcasting 2.0 feeds. If you have any questions is be happy to help you.
Hit record and upload it
with nostr:npub1gr65v2hqq83n3vqfh6m65eej65hxlqwyjp0echc9ghvw5p6pvqpse3mmjc 💙
Just do it! If we over think it we don’t end up doing it
