Podcasting 2.0 MOC

Map of the open podcasting stack: the feed format underneath it, the namespace extending it, and the index that makes it discoverable.

Start here

• Podcasting 2.0 — the movement and what it is reacting to
• RSS — the substrate everything else extends

Core concepts

• Podcast Namespace
• Podcast Index
• Podping
• Value 4 Value
• RSS — and the Enclosure that makes a feed a podcast

Feed features

• Transcripts
• Chapters
• Soundbites
• Cross-app Comments

Paying for it

• Splits — who gets what, declared in the feed
• Streaming Sats — paid by the minute
• Boost — paid on purpose
• Boostagram — the message that rides along

Tools and apps

Listening and publishing:

• Podverse — an app with the namespace features actually implemented
• LNBeats — value-enabled music, paid per listen
• Sovereign Feeds — publish a feed carrying tags your host does not support
• Demu Feed Template — the same job, as a file you edit by hand
• Castr.me — a Nostr identity turned into a feed

Boosts, end to end:

• Helipad — read the boosts arriving at your node
• BoostCLI — send and inspect them from a terminal
• Split Box — forward a received boost on to the splits in the feed
• BoostBox and MetaBoost — store the metadata a payment cannot carry itself
• extractlv — the early proof the TLV data was there to be read
• OnlyBoosts — boosts published to Nostr, collected in one place
• Local Bitcoiners — a show publishing its own boost activity

Infrastructure and reference:

• Podping Gossipwriter — Podping over a gossip swarm instead of a blockchain
• Podcast Platform Links — how to link to an episode on a given platform
• podcasting2.org — the namespace documentation, in a readable layout

Open threads

• Which namespace tags actually see app adoption vs. which stay theoretical
• Chapters and transcripts: where the spec is ahead of the tooling
