Ideally, every app would provide an API to lookup feedURLs/episodeGUIDs and return their equivalent platform URL. Something like webFinger would be great.

Yes, there’s no enclosure for them to reference. I’m not even sure they make sense within a liveItem.

first saw it posted by Geoff Teehan, Lightspark’s Chief Design Officer https://x.com/gt/status/1716505305042027002?s=46&t=aS4mFReEMpkW53eSL7CiZA. Before that, I believe he was involved with Facebook’s efforts to make their own stablecoin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diem_(digital_currency)

They eventually switched to the `media:thumbnail` tag, but I proposed an enhancement to the `podcast:images` spec to cover use cases like that: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/645

✈️ I’ll be in Portland Thursday through Monday for the very last #XOXOFest 😭 Who else is going? I’m attending solo and terrible at approaching people at events like this. Hit me up if you wanna hang out!

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics releases reliable figures each year. For employers with consolidated PTO plans (vacation+sick leave+personal+family/medical), the average is 14 days after 1 year of employment. PTO is also typically accrued here. (You must earn PTO hours over the course of the year. Many employers allow hours to rollover to following years.)
For employers with separated plans, it’s 11 sick days and 11 vacation days per year after 1 year of employment.

The Index will definitely have more than Apple, but I think the correct number is closer to 2.7 million shows in Apple’s directory. https://podcastindustryinsights.com/apple-podcasts-statistics/

EpisodesFM is very close to launching support for all RSS feeds (not just shows in Apple’s directory), and I’d love to make sure V4V music is well supported. Does anyone have vector logos for LN Beats or Tunestr?

This is fantastic news! If you want to include additional platform links (like Patreon or YouTube), @npub12ln…zq7n will soon ingest`podcast:contentLink` tags for our pages.

We went ahead and forked¹ it just for itunesTitle, but I will likely need podcast:follow² and podcast:contentLink³ before they’re officially formalized.

@npub1rcn…dw4h Is PI using @npub1kk8…ht7k’s partytime package or just your code that it was originally extracted from? I’m moving EpisodesFM from calling the PI API to crawling the feed myself, and I wanted to use `item.itunesTitle` (like the API) instead of `item.title`(what partytime is returning), but it looks like I’ll need to fork it to do that.

If hosts can’t keep up with multiple values for the medium tag, then introducing a new one seems unlikely to solve anything for you.
I would imagine your current approach to identifying music casts is something like: "all shows with N+ valueTimeSplits pointing to remote items with the medium=music" What’s the downside to that approach?
