I'm getting links to my content in front of millions of users that will help drive more traffic to my website, and therefore more potential subscribers.
In a normal world, I'd be paying Google for that kind of advertising, but they're giving it to me for free.

I think in this situation they should have removed the offending episode but not the whole show, and their communication needed to be much much better.

Trademark violations are a little different but where Google publishes (like Google Ads) then there's a process for removal.
Over on the other place, Glenn Beck (who I learn today is still alive) is so upset - his show has been CENSORED from Apple Podcasts?!?!?!!!!!
The truth is a little more mundane - a trademark dispute from a third-party, and Glenn didn't check his email. Oops.
I've got an example of the email he got - because I, too, have sent trademark disputes to Apple (not to Glenn though).
Oh dear.

I use ProtonVPN as a VPN occasionally; and Control-D DNS on all my devices. Control-D also has phishing blocklists that have blocked Megaphone in the past.
Regression of the mailing software back a release has fixed it.

I see what's going on. The image URL's in James's chapters file are using an encoded URL parameter format that our "local image caching" handler can't handle. PV is assuming the image URLs end with a file extension (.jpg, .png, etc.) but these do not. We need to assign a file extension before saving images to our cache.
I actually don't even know how we can reliably parse out what the image file type is for URLs like this. Anyone have ideas?

nostr:npub1ur3mr0ggwgh0tej47utqulsdc680kefm60xhdler5wtyytef8wnqu6kwtl Thanks. I understand the point - and that many messages from listeners can be a bit frustrating. Of the shows I do, one has two or three mentions (in a chapter so you can skip past); I rarely mention them in the Podnews Daily.
I also understand the reticence about Bitcoin itself. It's impossible to do this using pounds and dollars, unless you look at much larger numbers - and the fundamental "streaming SATs" mode can't work with pounds and dollars, as I see it.
nostr:npub1jtm4dxvu3ccgk60wvvt0uw9j9vz7nuc80f7agrv0vgkkushxk5zq0rrxtn what do you use to queue up your tracks on https://podverse.fm/podcast/uPCWPzSE-B ? I’m considering trying to do something similar is why I ask.
nostr:npub1yqwcsafkzl4fequd25qg6yvmyxusk8gmpe7hkpfcnzc34afx4npsfhwajx The way I did this show was I downloaded the tracks, segued them all together in Hindenburg, and then talked over the top.
I then wrote the RSS feed and chapters manually. It was an exercise in understanding how it all worked, rather than anything more fancy.
I much prefer producing something nice like this (in terms of audio) than doing live shows where you get only one chance to say the right thing or press the right button.

nostr:npub1ln5q8np5aezhtt7ztv6tah86xk4t3smjuchdvxp0u6uta056204q45xyw6 I should add - it's pinned 22 times, so the system appears to have taken some pins from already existing pins, if you see what I mean. Quite impressive. I'd like to really encourage other value4value podcasts to use it, so that we get more people running nodes. nostr:npub1g6plln20m4g7e42zedtrsxf08sc9mw2n23c6d2p02rf6302z4xkqyudgtx
