Podcast No Longer Available

This is the first post on the new Podcast User blog. This website is going to be the home page for the Podcast User blog, Podcast and YouTube channel. I will be doing reviews of podcast apps, Podcast listening platforms and technology that podcast listeners care about. The plan is to do demo and reviews of Podcast Apps, Directories and Networks. Also some how-tos and podcast history articles. All from the listener side of things. Thanks for checking out Podcast User!

When do you know it's time to call it quits on a podcast?

Should you do live video? If so, where? Facebook, YouTube, Others. Riverside.fm, streamyard or direct. Podcast Movement Review Website caching. Getting a bit geeky. This podcast is posted on PodcastHelpDesk.com. Go there and subscribe!

I will be back in September 2021.

I had the opportunity to talk to Dave Jones from Podcast Index and the Podcasting 2.0 show about PodPing and other podcasting stuff.

itunes:subtitle, itunes:summary, or description tags - Today I talk about Episode Notes tags (Show Notes). This is part 1 of an experiment. Please email me and let me know what app or apps you see this in and what tags (at the top of this text) you see and where. This is a LINK to something cool. https://mikedell.com

One thing you can always say about how podcasting works, it's always changing. The last couple of weeks it seems that there is a sort of shift in how it works on basic levels. Or, does it work the same and only some apps are changing? Apple changed Subscribe to Follow for free podcasts. Apple added "Subscribe" for premium podcasting. Spotify say "Me too!" and adds Premium Podcasting for a very limited number of people. Apple may have changed how their app works when it comes to "followed"...

Spotify say "Me too!" and adds Premium Podcasting for a very limited number of people. Apple may have changed how their app works when it comes to "followed" (ie. subscribed) podcasts work. *still not sure about that Apple really hid the "Add show by URL" function in Apple Podcasts. What do we indie podcasters have to do to insure our shows remain free of gatekeepers and the cancel culture? This podcast is posted on PodcastHelpDesk.com. Go there and subscribe (or Follow)!

Apple announced "Subscriptions" after changing the name of subscribing to a free podcast to "Follow". We have more details about that system. Today I will attempt to tell you, technically, how this is going to work and what it will not do.

100% my opinion. I air my podcasting grievances.

I love it when people correct me! Andy Lehman tells me all about what I didn't get quite right about the Podcast Namespace.

In the history of podcasting, there have been a few Namespaces added to RSS to make podcasting work. Apple added the namespace, Google added the namespace and even Blubrry added the namespace. Now there is a new one done by independent podcasters, app developers, companies and other interested people called the namespace. It's done by the Podcast Index people at https://podcastindex.org. I explain what a namespace is and go over the new tags being added by the "podcast" namespace.

Today I want to go back to the REAL basics of how podcasting works. So, without going into a history lesson, podcasting has worked the same way since it started 16 years ago. (some say longer).

Why would build your podcast on someone else's platform when you can build your own?
