Podcast Idiot

After a long hiatus, Podcast Idiot returns with a simple, local podcast RSS feed creator built with AI, supporting modern podcast tags, feed editing, and standalone XML generation without servers or subscriptions.

On today's show I test out livestreaming again. This is for my music podcast called Sats and Sounds. I got it all working to be able to record but there was no audio coming from Curiocaster or The Split Kit. These are things to figure out in the coming weeks. But, at least the live stream worked in Podverse and it was streaming on the website at http://stream.satsandsounds.com.

Live streaming music show test 3

My music experiment finally worked and I've been producing a music podcast since August. I called the podcast Sats and Sounds and it is just one of many music podcasts that have popped up since Adam Curry started Boostagram Ball and Podcasting 2.0 created the valueTimeSplit tag which enabled "Magic Wallet Switching Technology". I saw a couple videos on how other people produce their shows so I thought I'd take a crack at showing my process. I use simple cheap tools that do the job to my satisfaction. Admittedly I have a low bar when it comes to quality of production because I mainly podcast to understand how it works. I try to use tools and software that are cheap, free, or I already posses. I also record live to bits because if I had to fully produce and edit I'd never make a single episode of anything. It's bad enough the other podcasts I do become intermittent because of the time it takes to create something. The video below shows all the tools I use and the production of Episode 14 of Sats and Sounds. You can also listen to the audio only version using your favorite podcast app. Just search for Podcast Idiot or click the RSS feed link above. Here are links to the tools I use.

Here's a direct link to the episode from this post.

Let's see if I can get it right this time. The last time out I think I published my RSS feed with a mistake in the song's GUID. This time out, using Podcasting 2.0's last episode's RSS feed as a guide, I confirmed which GUIDs to use. So before I hit Podping to publish my feed I will make sure everything in the remoteItem and valueTimeSplit tags are correct. The song I chose is titled "Cherry On Top" by Ainsley Costello. It's a rockin' little pop tune by a 19 year old girl in Nashville. https://youtu.be/bdMQGXGIUmM In preparation for posting this episode I searched this track on Podcast Index. Here is that listing. https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6471422. Clicking on the RSS link in the listing takes you to this feed on Wavlake. https://www.wavlake.com/feed/d0efe4fb-714e-4ea1-a6b4-422842262cf2. Examining the feed you can see the podcast GUID is b55c93d2-4571-55fd-9562-7966beaa7ea2. You can find that by looking for the tag. The item GUID is 729ff127-1fcc-4086-8e67-4386e87ac585. The item GUID is not so intuitive. There is a string in the URL that looks like a GUID. And maybe it is for Wavlake's purposes. But it's not the GUID needed for the remoteItem tag. At least that's what I gather looking at Podcasting 2.0's RSS feed. The GUID needed for remoteItem is directly under the tag in the item. In this case, for the track I'm playing here the link tag looks like this: https://www.wavlake.com/album/d0efe4fb-714e-4ea1-a6b4-422842262cf2 That string at the end is not the GUID. Here is the line directly underneath. 729ff127-1fcc-4086-8e67-4386e87ac585 This should be the proper GUID. If I've done this correctly this time around when the song starts playing the album art should change to the proper art and any sats streamed or boosted should go directly to the artist. Let me know if anyone gives this a try. I'd like to know if I finally got it right. As a precaution, I will also include this artist in my episode's value block.
