because it
says
well that
yeah me but i can't know it
may
it's hard to pay attention when you
hello and welcome to podcasting for value
and idiots attempt at starting a value
for value podcast my name is josh
i will be your extremely inconsistent
yet happy go lucky pickup truck driver
for this episode so if you guys
just to climb into the back of
this open bedded pick up and we'll
go to and around and hold on
tight because it might get bumpy i
bet you get arrested if you were
in the back of a pick up
now back in my day
reese ruined the back of pickups vans
and anything else the law be damned
any who spent quite a while since
i've done this me more excuses but
it going into the holidays and the
new year and ist other obligations and
life family all the things that make
life a wonderful but also take up
quite a bit of time but i
i'm back to raise the twenty sixth
of january twenty twenty three and it
has been quite some time since i
last recorded according to i bfs podcasting
dot net it's been forty three days
since i last published an episode
so that would would be december fourteenth
of twenty twenty two and they have
been a hundred and six downloads
of that episode and that was a
drop down from two hundred seventy three
and hundred ninety seven from the two
previous episodes but what he expect when
you don't put out a consistent product
a cat really expect anybody to to
listen to it
there are a few people who do
listen i i'd certainly appreciate it and
they get in touch as well so
that all that will bring me into
the first section of the show which
is the value for value section this
podcast along with with and and
increasing number of podcasts are using a
value for value model was just means
that you return whatever value of you
think that it's worth so that can
be in the form of just about
anything a message word of mouth and
email a boost to graham which is
using
the bitcoin lightning network to send small
amounts of bitcoin directly to a creator
or an artist or a podcast her
or me
and you'll notice if you've been here
for a while that the intro was
different and i decided to go through
and try to find somebody for value
music to put in as an intro
and i ended up using some music
from an album
i'm from a band called able and
the wolf and the song is called
make and beans and the album is
called stay awhile and it is available
on music enabled podcast players such as
curio caster and i believe pod friend
and maybe a few others as well
so you can actually listened to the
music and send them boost to grams
also which is pretty cool so my
plan is to put put them in
the the split which means that any
any donations or boosts that i get
this episode
and will automatically be split up percentage
will go to both able and the
wolf though i know that spencer is
is the wolf and i've i've talked
to him
and he's is a good guy and
i'm sure that the able kirby as
as well so
it's pretty interesting to be able to
find music that can be used in
this way it with the help it's
okay that it used in this way
i'll reach out to them anyway and
just let him know but i think
that it falls well within the spirit
of the valley for value concept
to use a value for value naval
music or product in this way so
that's that's kind of exciting
have bill find more music and use
it in the future
because as i always say i will
try to do this more consistently now
it feels pretty good the sit down
and and produce another show one of
the problems that i've i've had is
the umbrella node which is the the
lightning network node and wallet that i
that i have been using to receive
boosts and a to send them as
well and away as been going down
quite a bit lately and i don't
know what that was the cause is
i haven't had time to go back
to the logs or do anything like
that to find out what what the
issue is but what
i did his move the split i
had it whereas ninety percent of all
boost the grams or our boosts were
going to the umbro and and five
percent was going to the alby while
it from get alvey dot com
and i decided that i was going
to swap that and put the bulk
of the percentage going to the al
the wallet just because they seem to
have better infrastructure and there's been a
few times where the node hasn't picked
up booths so that it's down whether
that
the network whether that the actual raspberry
pi that ambrose on or it could
be the sd card which is the
hard drive basically of the raspberry pi
if that's corrupt somehow
but i don't know because it a
reboot seems to fix it and most
the time as just a matter of
knowing when it's down
and so i'm gonna try the alby
i know and i started this project
that i wanted to run everything myself
but i'll be wasn't available at that
time and maybe it's time to start
not trying to spend so much effort
and time ousting
in my own servers and nodes
and trying to use what's available because
that will actually opens up quite a
bit of functionality
for who was a quote unquote normal
people that the don't know how are
don't want to run their own nodes
so the the get alby to sign
up for with an email and then
now you've got a wallet i think
that the only boost that i've gotten
sense
the last show was from cameron from
from i pfs podcasting and it's at
boosting my fountain balance for the one
year
p for v anniversary show
yeah i guess oh thanks man
that was january tenth and so that
was a hundred ninety four sat on
our be which is or set for
five percent so i don't know at
that comes out to have this far
as one ninety four or five percent
of something and i really really appreciate
it cameron and i
i tried to look up where sats
go off sad switches chart for satoshi
is which is the smallest one bitcoin
which is one one hundred millionth of
a bitcoin and that is the currency
that is used well i don't know
if i could take currency it is
that them the default
now it's go out without going currency
it's the currency of of the lightning
network and so i'm not sure what
happened to the other sat if it's
sent to a node which is offline
then it do they go into the
ether
maybe you could let me know cameron
if you if you know the the
the other sad that you sent the
didn't go into the umbro if they're
just lost forever which socks or if
if is just credited back to your
wallet or of that never left her
wallet because the the know
i was down because i'm pretty sure
it never ended up going into into
the on role node but anyway thanks
for the the boost a gram it
is much appreciated the one yeah russ
crazy saw i did have that twenty
five episodes this is episode twenty six
twenty
five episodes in one year he won
every one every two weeks or so
i guess it could be worse bow
veiled maybe get that number up to
fifty episodes this year so it and
conclusion for the driver values action here
and just want people to know that
it's out there an issue look it
up
check out curio caster the fountain app
which now you can actually purchase bitcoin
on to load up
lightning wallet to do boosts going through
moon bay which i think uses at
another his credit cards are just debit
card but you can purchase bitcoin directly
on the fountain app then you can
also there's as as to sort of
advertising that found news is were a
podcast or can put
in say ten thousand sat and then
when people listen to their show they
can actually earn sad that way so
it's a kind of interesting advertising type
model so you can go there and
and gets at oh she's starts back
and sats without needing to
put in any money and we just
get a feel for it it's pretty
awesome if i don't say so myself
so that's gonna wrap up the valley
for value section i appreciate the support
ah i did get again an email
to from roster call vara and it's
as hey josh notice there hasn't been
an episode
no while and is want to check
in and ten some good vibes your
way hope you find time and enjoyment
whether or not that involves a show
cheers rc well thank you kind sir
i very much appreciated that was actually
that email got me in the seat
today pretty much push me over the
edge to get back
em and just force the time to
record so i answered the email and
and i just want to say that
damn thing about your see and if
you need anything let me know if
you wanna chat let me know maybe
we could do a podcast together at
some point though now are going to
go into a cozy
the little nook were with talk about
what happened during the editing of the
last show and get some perspective on
what it takes to put out such
an unbelievably polished and products such as
this does show so go ahead and
take a deep breath maybe get into
lotus pose and are going to go
into the editing enclave
the final leg of the recording last
time was forty one and a half
minutes and after the editing that went
down to twenty six and a half
minutes so that's fifteen minutes as more
than
my hours at forty percent or something
like that of the time now math
not doing it quite a bit of
time and to be honest does long
time ago i just like every episode
it's a lot of dead space that's
pretty much and the main the main
time suck their ends up being cut
out
but along that those same lines with
the the trunk a silence feature of
audacity which takes out the two minute
pauses ram looking something out like earlier
this episode which you won't know listening
to the final product but i did
just let it hang for about four
minutes while i
i looked up i bfs as podcasting
statistics because i forgot to load it
before i started
but i didn't move the truncate silence
up to one second from half a
second so now it'll take one second
of silence before a cut it down
it just see my half a second
that to sounded really choppy to me
anyway and the final product so with
or smooth it out
i played a little bit of bumper
music from
from my are just a little sound
clips from couple pink floyd songs and
had to amplify those and i'm hoping
that the the able able in the
wolf music i play at the beginning
of this will be the proper volume
but it's hard to hard to know
no at this point douglas do it
again they maybe have to adjust it
massive try to talk louder and be
more consistent in this episode so whether
that helps are not not sure there
is also add added outlet lip smacking
and at inhalation
which i think was emphasized by having
a stuffy nose last time and those
are the things that all podcast pride
is people that require their voice at
all
after deal with our maginot actors and
things like that are people like that
probably has altered a training as to
how to not sound like ed stranded
blue whale when talking into a microphone
and
inhalation and and let lip smacking and
all that fun stuff but i am
not a classically trained actor are classically
trained anything so just one idiot china
make his way in the world today
so that that's about all for that
the editing or the notes that i
have from from editing
see i put in some serious work
notes and everything but let's
before i fall asleep in this comfort
zone of but usually and fog machine
and here do i don't know if
he noted that was just fog nothing
else there's no other smoke just the
fog that the head out of editing
enclave and move on to well something
else
for the middle part here like to
ramble on drone on about an issue
or two in what i call blah
blah blah like cetera blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah i have
in my notes here to talk about
switching to alby from on bro but
i decided to
cover that earlier and that i just
as taking too much time dealing with
there are still keep it and try
to keep it running by i don't
want to rely on it as my
primary way to to get boosts or
boost or grams because
while i'm in it it feels terrible
especially if if those sater lost to
the ether an ad is that on
i don't like dead the fact that
it's not going through i mean it's
a miracle that the lightning network works
anyway
so to have something more stable is
definitely helpful and not on my network
it might just be sometimes we get
some power surges coming through here i
mean it's it's on a a surge
protector and a backup battery but still
i just tried to log into in
it it still crapped out so now
now it's broken again matter know let
others don't plug and play it back
in make sure you make a backups
of all your your settings and and
the era channels and things like that
but that goes for anything with electronics
do backups measure your backups also run
the next cloud server on
the raspberry pi
and that thing has been incredibly fickle
for about two years now i think
the year to it was running solidly
and then now i've switched our hardware
and it just seems to last about
three days and then it breaks so
i spam
way too much time trying to fix
that you have a i use it
for for backups not just for redundancy
basically in to have to have it
on my local now or something i
control but i think i'll be using
p cloud more more often now
just because i can't rely on next
cloud i might put it on i've
got a small a small form factor
desktop computer so i might just turn
that into a server and try next
cloud on there and see if it's
more stable because as just during it's
did useless if it's not connected just
like everything
else is useless if it's not connected
or it's useless if it's not working
or then that iran already have much
to say in blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah the last thing
i want to talk about today is
or going to head into rss name
space places
not quite as causes the editing enclave
but it's a good place to sit
around and hang out may play some
poker or enough
and on of there's enough people listen
to this to get a game of
poker gone but i would imagine that
get of these play somebody at cribbage
in here though we're gonna go under
the ice as name's space place featuring
the turbo hoon
that's as tag of the week and
is it makes me jacko how moronic
it is but i haven't been able
to do anything else for it so
that so it it's get a been
the taylor talk about is the medium
tag and know there is no small
or large tags or extra large day
tags why baby to a do the
is it just me or have soda
fountain drink cups gotten larger and larger
i don't think you can even get
a small and you order a large
and it's four gallons of of soda
when i don't drink as get a
good coke zero
or something like that because you know
it's healthy but he can't there are
no normal size is anymore it's all
just jumbos either inward society does racing
towards any accuracy but that's that for
this podcast that's for my life as
a cynic the my life as a
cynic podcast
last pay me roster that some day
anyway back to regular scheduled programing the
medium tag and this is al does
read it from the the get hub
the from the podcast index dot org
get a page says the medium tag
tells the application what the content contains
within the feed is as up
what the content as about in the
case of category this allows a podcast
app to modify it's behavior or you
i to give a better experience the
the user for this content for example
if a podcast has podcast medium music
and app may choose to reset playback
speed to one one time and adjust
ekeus settings for the by
her music for the spoken word so
as a parent of channel
and a single count and so the
values that you can put in there
are podcast music video film audio book
newsletter or blog and i brought this
tag out because of switching the music
and the intro and that album does
have a music
tag and rss feed which allows for
i was listening to it on curio
caster which is a web app and
you can toggle between podcast and music
until this tag is used for that
it allows them to have a different
function our
liddy if the tag is music
versus a podcast and it it allows
it all allow podcast players when more
start to implement the use of this
tag to be able to have a
better user experience while someone is listening
to music and
and podcast or these other vino video
film audio books and the at the
whole point of podcasting to boy know
is to have a better user experience
and just an overall better product which
is open and immune
able to or this to the extent
that it can be copied by anyone
you can download the index if you
aren't you can run your own podcast
index and adding all of these different
tags to what is the equivalent to
a spec as
a specification for podcasting it really opens
up the ability for musicians to not
only get on the value for value
train but to also open up a
new market i haven't listened to music
while that's not true i listen to
to music when i'm working sometimes with
noise cancelling headphones but it's mostly pink
floyd and just on repeat but this
is a great way for musicians to
to get discovered by a new audience
if they do have an rss feed
and put
music in the medium tag and then
somebody will be using a podcast app
and dog or there's that little toggle
for music and then toggle to that
and you see a whole new list
of of forward thinking musicians bands salads
it's seems like be a pretty good
tool for discovery let me know if
you have any questions about it
or anything else am i love to
get feedback at this point i'm getting
such little feedback that i'd be happy
get negative feedback they say negative feedback
is better than no feedback at all
i have no idea if they say
that
i'll be my new slogan podcasting for
value negative feedback is better than no
feedback at all try out at the
fountain up at the top of the
home page there's that quote unquote advertising
type set up for podcast and click
on of those if you can earn
some some say
that you'd probably find a pretty good
podcast out of it to to listen
do but you can stream those sat
and then and then you ship i'm
somewhere else doesn't have to be here
are in if you listen to this
music and you like it you can
boost able and the wolf and send
them or if you boost this podcast
don't get a percentage of it
as well which it be pretty cool
then then they would see those coming
in then know that their music has
reached a few other people anyway i
am a new leave you at this
point i'm glad that you stop by
to listen sorry for the delay our
let's say it's like and happen again
but by china till i am i
i'm going to play out the entire
song at the end of this so
give it a listen check out able
and the wolf dot com
are you know they would probably actually
prefer you listen to it on curio
caster or one of the other apps
if you got a new podcast app
dot com you can find an app
that will play the music or on
their website they actually have a listen
tab or and the as a button
and it has different different apps that
you can listen to it
on my go there right now a
matter fact so as carrier caster pod
friend pod station and mp dot money
for web apps and then it gives
a list of android apps and windows
linux mac i phone that you can
listen to turn music
using that the media music tag sales
send i'm centers will catch that way
to some sentiments that i'm gonna do
that when i get done here and
now our i'll send them a boost
to graham and or just they are
at are no viable instagram is is
a boost with the message attached to
it which is
fantastic way to get in contact with
with an artist or a podcast her
dominance and and to let him know
that i added their music to this
and if they have a problem or
of there is not what they what
they desire than they could send me
a boost back telling me everybody boost
everybody wins negative feedback is better than
no feedback at all until next time
just try to keep getting better
