I agree, would be great
@npub122k…u3hg - would you be able to send out a podping (a single GET request) when a wavlake feed changes?
you can get a podping.cloud key and info from @npub1rcn…dw4h

hmm, here's a breakdown of user-agents from july 1 through july 7 currently categorized as "Google Podcasts"
Google Podcasts proper not completely dead yet, but overwhelming downloads are from GSA (ie the "Google" app)
"Google Assistant" is also dead brand walking based on what I hear from my Android news sources
Maybe just: "Google" given their propensity for brand churn?
The ua name is effectively the pk for user-agents-v2 so kind of a big deal

👀 Hoy en EL PAÍS (a daily podcast from the Spanish newspaper) is now using OP3
Easily the new behemoth in terms of number of downloads
Strongly diurnal usage pattern like most of these daily news podcasts

heads up @npub1rcn…dw4h the index is not picking up the guids from feeds like this: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6269222
.. PI api returns an unrelated value
I'm guessing it's because they use a non uuid-shaped format? Even though it is likely to still be globally unique.
Imo the spec could be a little clearer on the values here. There are already a ton of uuidv4 podcast:guids out there, for example.
I don't think constraining to v5 in the spec makes sense, might be instead considered a common default.

I'm a listener from scratch, I don't have a wallet. Who do I pay 10$ to? I thought the listener wallet was the hard part

let's say I'm a podcast listener in the US, I'm willing to pay $10 to get started from scratch. Can you go through the flow from the listener directed through the app to the podcaster?

Here's an informed appeal for a easy one-click #fediverse subscription button from Dave Winer @npub1e02…7m30 (who's seen this before with RSS)
Latest episode from his new podcast. Short enough to embed here in its entirety.
Go subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: 👉 https://episodes.fm/1753971770

https://op3.dev now measuring over 17 million iab-style podcast downloads a month!
if you host a podcast and somehow haven't added the prefix yet, head on over - the setup is easy

yes I think you are thinking of this guy: https://livewire.io/instant-websub-for-podpingers/

I think they were hoping it would somehow fix the problem

@npub1rcn…dw4h, do you have a contact over at audiomeans? They are really going insane with podping updates that don't represent new episodes

‘The test for whether it's a podcast or not is if they say you can get it "Wherever you get your podcasts." If they can say that, it's a podcast. If you have to get it from Apple or YouTube or whoever, it's not a podcast. That's the rule.’

<-- this is the way
not a new object type, but a new context (a "podcast" context! very much like a namespace, needs a spec etc) and additional fields in the existing payloads - for max compatibility, we want to interop with the note-o-verse
