006. I play favorites :)

In this episode, we reflect on how quickly this show has found its rhythm after just six episodes, then settle into a deeper software-update conversation about what we’ve each been building. I share the latest on Boost Me Buddy, now live on Zapstore under its family-friendly name, along with the work of turning it into a better mobile-first PWA and a more realistic daily-driver podcast app. We also dig into a new favorites spec for Podcasting 2.0 GUIDs over Nostr, why keeping that spec simple matters, and how Reed has already started implementing parts of it inside OnlyBoosts so favorites can eventually sync cleanly across apps.From there, we zoom out and talk through the bigger overlap between Podcasting 2.0, Nostr, and Bitcoin: cross-app comments, authentication, public vs. private lists, and the tradeoffs that come with trying to get boost data into a more open ecosystem. Reed explains the latest OnlyBoosts work around charts, social discovery, and the #40HPW challenge, while I outline the idea behind BoosterBot as another option for podcasters who want their boost data published to Nostr. We close by reading listener boosts, surfacing a few bug reports and feature requests, and wrapping with this episode’s featured track, “Legs Broken” by Michken Fitzgerald.OnlyBoosts: https://onlyboosts.social/pc20-favorites: https://github.com/ChadFarrow/PC20-Nostr/blob/main/pc20-favorites.mdBoost Me Bitch APK: https://github.com/ChadFarrow/boostmebitch/releasesZapstore: https://zapstore.dev/Castamatic: https://castamatic.com/Podcast Guru: https://podcastguru.io/CurioCaster: https://curiocaster.com/Fountain: https://fountain.fm/TrueFans: https://truefans.fm/Podcasting 2.0: https://podcasting2.org/Podcasting 2.0 Documentation: https://podcasting2.org/docsPodcast Index: https://podcastindex.org/V4V Music: https://v4vmusic.com/Clave: https://clave.casa/Primal: https://www.primal.com/Helipad: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/helipad
