@joealexlemon Great meeting you yesterday @InnovatPasadena. The ideas in your video dovetail quite well with the tenets of the . I bet you'll appreciate https://indieweb.org/podcast.

 

@JonahRemnant @JonahNRO FYI, your main podcast page http://www.nationalreview.com/media/remnant-jonah-goldberg has links to several other feeds from @NRO, but shockingly DOES NOT include a link to your *own* RSS Feed which seems to be http://www.nationalreview.com/taxonomy/term/7126/feed for the record.

Have your web admin throw the following line into the header of your podcast's page so it's actually discoverable by feed readers:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg" href="http://www.nationalreview.com/taxonomy/term/7126/feed">

You should also have them include a "Subscribe Free" or "Subscribe via RSS" with that link in the main part of the page along with all the other options that appear like iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and TuneIn.

I find that https://www.subtome.com has a great user friendly interface you might leverage to make subscribing via feed easier for those who prefer it.

 
 

@realkimhansen @blaine @kevinmarks @dsearls @Padraig The microformats wiki has a huge amount of research under http://microformats.org/wiki/haudio and related pages. https://indieweb.org/podcast has some examples, ideas, and brainstorming as well.


 

Aaron, I finally just made the jump into microcasting myself over the holidays in as low-tech a manner as possible.
http://boffosocko.com/category/microcast/

I'll have to write up the details, but they're so scant as to make doing so more like a status update than an article. My advice, think of an idea, pull out your phone and set a 10 minute timer, hit record on the simplest recorder app you've got, and go. Post to your site and you're done. It's very liberating in comparison to all the grander plans I'd had to do something larger. And even better when you know you've only got an audience of one or two, you don't feel like you've spent thousands of hours for such a meager launch!

I do like John's idea about a slow-podcast, though I worry that the effort and time may be both painful and take some of the spontaneity and flow out of a conversation. Perhaps stringing together pieces of various microcasts using webmentions into a longer "playlist" of sorts to create a longer podcast could be an interesting idea?

 

An excellent thing to do on Thanksgiving!

Your thoughts remind me of a great episode within the Seeing White series of the Scene On podcast about a small town and what happened to their Indians. It went into much more detail however: http://boffosocko.com/2017/05/03/seeing-white-episode-35-little-war-on-the-prairie-scene-on-radio/

 
 

Marty,This is a humongous amount of work you've put into all this and I find it both fascinating and useful. Thanks for outlining out all the details. I wish all the podcasts I listened to did a fraction of what you're doing. The best (worst?) part is that it makes me even more itchy to do some kind of podcast myself.

 
 
 

Trevor finds out how Southerners honor Confederate Memorial Day, Jordan Klepper examines Alabama's history, and Kevin Coval discusses his book "A People's History of Chicago."

The opening section about Confederate Memorial Day followed by the Coval interview are very poignant and fit right in with the Seeing White podcast series I've been listening to recently.

The Klepper section I could have done without. It just wasn't funny...

Watched on Directv

 
 

@johnjohnston Interesting that you saw my Huffduffer reply via micro.blog as I would have suspected you supported webmentions and would have seen it directly on your blog as a comment--though perhaps you did and, like me, you forgot the source once you'd gotten back to actually reply. Or from the looks of it you've finished some additional set up and have those pieces working now. From what I can see it looks like you got Brid.gy working properly!

Thanks for sharing some of your podcast recommendations. I saw your post on Castro and I'll have to take a look at it. I'd recently switched from DoubleTwist on Android to AntennaPod for it's ability to listen at faster speeds as well as the ability to jump forward/back in 30 second increments.

I'm sure I'll see you around both micro.blog, or more likely directly on your site. Cheers!

 

huffduffer and Not Huffduffer http://johnjohnston.info/blog/huffduffer-and-not-huffduffer

John describes an early experience with Huffduffer and then goes on to describe how he rolled his own version of something similar. While having your own tools is great, it does make it somewhat difficult to do the social sharing portion if you don't build that into the picture. I wish Jeremy Keith had been able to help him out as I'd love to have an idea of what John is regularly listening to and enjoying.
