Podcasting Chat Community

I have to admit, I’m not a big fiction podcast listener, but I know a guy who’s an expert on fiction podcasts… wait for it… the one and only @evoterra@podvibes.co!

Check out his directory/site of fiction shows here: https://www.theend.fyi/

I recently moved my hosting to TrueFans.fm hosting. @samsethi@podcastindex.social is the CEO of TrueFans and a good buddy of mine. So I thought I’d give it a go.

What’s unique about TrueFans.fm’s hosting is that is based on bandwidth/streams not downloads.

And it’s variable pricing. So if you have a small show you only pay for the data you use. It’s quite brilliant if you ask me.

What’s even better is that it’s fully Podcasting 2.0 enabled. So all the cool tags that come with Podcasting 2.0.

The Podcast Mastery podcast is hosted there and I’m very pleased with it so far.

Check it out and tell Sam, I sent ya!

Isn’t it fun when things just appear out of thin air @dave@podcastindex.social haha!

Loving the hosting options that @truefans@truefans.social brings to #Podcasting.

The idea of streams vs downloads and only paying for the amount of data that you use is really a neat concept.

For example, if you have a small podcast, after 3 months you might only have to pay a few bucks for hosting and when show grows, the hosting grows with you.

I don’t think any other platform does this.

Full disclosure: I host the Podcast Mastery Podcast on TrueFans.fm hosting, and I pay for it. So this is not a paid advert. Just a fan of what @samsethi@podcastindex.social is building.

Check it out!

Probably because I just started it yesterday. HAHA It’s running on NodeBB.org. @julian@activitypub.space helped me set it up!

I know… I know… Podcasting.Chat is only about 24 hr old. But being impatient, I’d love more podcasters to post in/to the forums.

I have content streaming in from relays and watched hashtags, I want this place to be a hub for podcasters across the Open Web.

If you’re interested in helping moderate hit me up!

Thanks go out to @julian@activitypub.space and the whole crew at #NodeBB for their help setting up and sponsoring the Podcasting.Chats federated-forum community.

Check them out here: https://nodebb.org if you’re looking to start a community that has more reach than a typical forum and is way better than Discord in almost every way imaginable.

This is awesome! Keep up the good work Justin!

@davidmarzalc@masto.es Yea this is huge!

Feel free to sign up for Podcasting.chat. It gives you forum access and a Fediverse handle! Or maybe PodcastIndex.social.

@james@bne.social IT does work! Your PodNews handle is getting sucked into the Podcasting.Chat forum! Sweet!

StartLocal Podcast is a great example of how you can do a geographically local show right!

@liamdempsey@mstdn.social has a show that he does, with Joe Casabona, for the Chester County PA area that highlights businesses and organizations in the area.

It’s a great example of how you can indeed do a podcast for a geographic region and do it well.
