Man I step away for a bit, and now people are proposing signed media requests in podcasting? Cue ominous music in the the future documentary about the rise and fall of podcasting... Let's not step on this rake! I've left some commentary on the proposal here: github.com/Podcastindex...

‘Trevor Noah commands a much bigger total audience on his podcast “What Now? With Trevor Noah,” than he did on TV. 4.6 million subscribers on YouTube, more than 10 times higher than his Comedy Central show audience, which averaged 372,000 viewers in his last year.’ www.reuters.com/business/med...

‘declined to comply’

Buzzsprout published their public podcast stats for May 2026, so I just updated my post tracking them over time - looks like they've improved their filters! 👍 livewire.io/buzzsprout-s...

Just updated my graphs of @transistor.fm 's monthly reported stats to include the newly-finished month of May 2026 - looks like they're improving their filtering out of bots claiming to be browsers 👍 livewire.io/transistor-s...

👀 2nd-ever video podcast episode published today using rss with hls and H.265, and the first since January nice to see @davehamilton.com still living out there on the cutting edge with his Mac Geek Gab show hls.livewire.io?q=:codecs-ha...:

"podcast" as a term is so large and expansive, it has its own gravitational field at this point www.axios.com/2026/05/14/p...

"podcast consumption" sounds really weird to me nothing is consumed. podcasts are not consumable

et tu, wasabe?

‘reads true’

just ran across a podlove feed that has hls video alt enclosures unfortunately it's generated slop, but I'm curious what the podlove ui side of this looks like for the podcaster - hls uses cloudflare stream so it's likely the podcaster did at least the video part of it himself

New record #$GOOGL eod price today: 400.71 (first time closed above 400)

Occurs to me that Apple Podcasts video, being mostly algorithmless, see-what-you-follow only, means another form of content can emerge. No need to be youtubey, no cringey thumbnails necessary Just a new large, fairly open space for better stuff to thrive

Kevin just mentioned on their podcast that Buzzsprout now has 115 podcasters on their Apple Podcasts video plan, including themselves and 250 videos published

‘The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness. Work costs nothing to an LLM. LLMs do not feel a need to optimize for their own (or anyone’s) future time, and will happily dump more and more onto a layercake of garbage. Left unchecked, LLMs will make systems larger, not better’

👀 over the last few days, the newish podcast hosting company Flightcast has quietly become the leader in publishing HLS video as alternate enclosures in RSS feeds I just added a new filter to make it easy to see them on the radar: hls.livewire.io?q=flightcast

Great post on how human traits form the foundation of good engineering.
