BTS and B4TS are hosted with Podserve, but I submitted a self hosted feed to the index for both shows. At some point I want to get off Podserve but I don’t have the required smarts to make that transition easy.
Thunder Road Media is hosted on cloudflare, but if you are gonna do consistent video uploads it could get expensive. nostr:npub1zm95kw87nf6gkesg76jedyfejt0u2zgx2fxgxywdxc9ugq3z4w2q4m092t and nostr:npub1yvgrrzf4dnmu30qfhw95x87ruu0g2kpv3a64h8hpvqsre8qeuspsgd6pv9 were able to get video hosted using bunnycdn I think it was? There’s a tutorial video floating around somewhere.
For the music I host for people, that all goes on my dreamhost account using Wordpress to manage the uploads.
Having the two audio techs is nice, that’s something we’re in pretty desperate need for future shows. I have a good friend of mine who’s in the industry and owns a behringer x32. At this point we have all the gear and a killer space (two actually) but finding local acts who are available is difficult.
For size (very small footprint and produces quality video) look into these Marshall cameras. I forget which model I have exactly.

Outside of that, tech wise I think it was great. Most of the things I would recommend are related to the RSS side of stuff. I would definitely encourage yall to try out the split kit to build a live watch page that includes chat, scoreboard, buttons to boost bands directly at any point stuff like that.
with all the shit you can do with boost triggers, I’d like to work towards doing more themed out concerts. Build a set, work in special effects triggered by producers from home. Big enough space for an intimate crowd.
I think Dr M.O.O.K.Y.-Stein and the Electric Keep or Survival Guide playing to an ungodly amount of boostable fire flickering light bulbs would be sick as shit. Go back to those Alice Cooper root levels of stage production.

Bear with me, I’m primarily lighting and only moonlight with audio for the podcasts. Was the M32 mostly to get your inputs into logic? Also, was there an audio tech running sound for the room or were you tackling both?
Shit has been, uhhh just a whirlwind these past days, weeks? While in the midst of sorting thru box after box after box I stumbled across something that sucked the words right outta my mouth, struggling to understand what I was lookin at. I toured Broadway shows for just under a decade, and to mitigate losing a mind in a hotel room I would try to check out as much local music as possible. Even if the music wasn’t something I was particularly into I’d try to pick up at least a cd to support the bands. Spoiler alert, there’s a lot of cds hanging out around here.
This one however, just sunk it in that this is uhhhh I don’t even know the words.
This is a CD from Survival Guide, I don’t know where I saw her perform. I don’t know when. But it’s opened, and signed. Meaning we had a direct interaction after the show. If I had to guess this was sometime between 2015-2019.
Fast forward to within the past two years. Survival Guide has two fantastic albums available on an RSS feed, and we had the pleasure to work with her on The Satellite Skirmish: Autumn Rust (spoiler alert she won and now I’m dying to get this led sign made for her). This all happened not even knowing that I had the chance to see her perform live once before, pre boo-bury.
I’ve felt longing for the synchros and holy shit, talk about a deliverance.

I love this so much, “it can’t always be the same small group of supporters”
Generally, some, perceived, probably not accurate…
Stand up to these puritanical purity testing consumer jihad hobbyists Church of the Righteous Obscurity arm chair quarterback ummm actually born to suffer joy sucking women hating “clearly they don’t understand I pee” hurting artists robbing musicians the chance to pay their bills with hundreds of thousands of dollars cultist scum and mean it!
These people need to be stopped
You should try ruining the chance of an artist to make hundreds of thousands of dollars sometime.
A walled garden is a closed ecosystem where the platform provider controls access, content, and services, limiting what users can do or see beyond its borders.
We’re a music delivery service first and foremost. We’ve supported open distribution from day one, including, but not limited to, to Podcast Index, LLC, which is how apps like Fountain, LN Beats, and others have built their music libraries over the years. Our entire catalog is open to RSS, and we even offer 50% of our revenue to anyone who builds a new app that grows the ecosystem.
If you’re referring to our open source mobile player, our Nostr client, it’s not an RSS player. That’s why it doesn’t show RSS feeds. RSS doesn’t support zaps. It’s like asking why your bike doesn’t have airbags.
Want to see more music in these so-called walled gardens? Ask RSS hosts to support Lightning addresses and zaps. Until then, maybe the garden’s not the problem 🙃

The Satellite Spotlight: Sprouting Symphonies was getting zaps?
Here's a small data point. For me personally, 10% is high but whatever. If people wanna play that that's their prerogative. 10% of 4655 feeds with a whole contingent of nostr influencers focused on funneling people thru their pipes...it just becomes noise to me. LNBeats is the only web app I use for music and it's solely because of the DeMu button.
Also all yall fixin' to be banished to the...

If, you choose to pull your music there's one thing to keep in mind. The value time splits work by utilizing a GUID tag in your RSS feed. You'll want to preserve those GUIDs (aka copy them and put them in your feeds) so that any songs featured on a podcast can maintain its value time split to you. There's a feed level GUID and a GUID for each track. Go to https://podcastindex.org/search?q=ser%20sleepy&type=all click on one of your albums, view RSS feed, and do a search for a GUID to see what Im talking about.
I've only done it once, back when I pulled Rusty Gate from Wavlake and self hosted the feed. That was a couple years ago at this point so Im a little fuzzy on how the process works. I can ask tho if you want to do this.
My biggest, baddest, and boldest (this is not professional advice) is by far swing by the Zeronode IRC some time. It's where a lot of hobbyist podcasters and musicians congregate and Podcasting 2.0 (the actual show) hosts it chatroom there. A lot of the names in this thread are in there and it's way easier to talk stuff thru there, just ask nostr:npub1zm95kw87nf6gkesg76jedyfejt0u2zgx2fxgxywdxc9ugq3z4w2q4m092t

Hope to see you there someday o7
It's easier to download music from Wavlake than it is Apple and Spotify. If it needs to be protected, is it published using value for value?
