In & Around Podcasting - Episode 24: 18 February 2025:  *Has Podcasting 2.0 Failed? - The Podcasting 2.0 initiative has been around since 2020, and is a way for the traditional RSS feed to be more interactive both for podcasters and listeners. This means offering features like transcripts, chapters, credits for talent on podcasters, funding your favourite shows, and more. / It's also meant to keep the RSS system open and "protect" it from the walled garden approach of Spotify, Youtube, and - to a lesser degree - Apple Podcasts. / Bit despite being the brainchild of the podcast OG Adam Curry, and lots of vocal support from certain parts of the industry, it seems that Podcasting 2.0 is still struggling to gain a real foothold. So why hasn't Podcasting 2.0 taken off, and has the boat sailed for this initiative? / Join regular hosts Mark and Danny, with guest co-host Claire Waite Brown, as they dive into this much-vaunted but sometimes equally-maligned topic. / This week's guest co-host: Claire Waite Brown, Indie podcaster - Creativity Found, 2020 to present; Podcasting 2.0 in Practice Jan 2025 to present Creativity Found podcast inspired me to build a directory of creative activities for adults, all taught by independent small business owners who are members of the Creativity Found Collective. Became interested in 2.0 through listening to podcasts about podcasting and meeting proponents at podcast live events. Friends with many indie podcasters who feel they 'should" know what 2.0 is, but not sure where to start, or if they should bother! Teach a dance fitness class.

Seaside Pod Review - episode 35: 6 July 2023: despite Kev bringing a lot of drinks to Randy’s place the previous Sunday, and them getting very drunk, Randy still managed to get the bin out in the morning. Kev talking about using a noise gate on Audition with the Tom Petty Project podcast. Listener feedback about the previous episode’s song, Is This The World We Created? Mention of the Blackadder series tells me that Kev needs to guest on the great Lord Of Adders Black podcast. Kev mentions Pods Like Us because I posted something on Twitter to them. My opinion is maybe different to last time, but I’m sort of on the fence with the song Is this The World We Created, but will say slightly dust. Best hair in Queen. After this they talk about the random song for this weeks which is Jealously from the album Jazz. Freddie didn’t like explaining what his songs are about. How Brian got the sitar sound on his guitar. The kick drum issue. All of the harmonies are just Freddie. Not mentioned, but wasn’t Jealousy the band playing live together in the same room?
