Intro. to Podfans DOT fm

Martin: 00:00:11

Welcome to Tea party.

Martin: 00:00:14

Media podcast.

Martin: 00:00:15

I am Martin Lindesko.

Martin: 00:00:18

This is episode ten of his podcast.

Martin: 00:00:21

I've been thinking of the schedule for the future and I come to the conclusion that every

Martin: 00:00:29

two weeks or bi weekly and that you could say it's twice per week or it's twice per month or

Martin: 00:00:38

every two weeks, like on a fortnightly basis and that's what I could keep on doing, I

Martin: 00:00:47

think.

Martin: 00:00:47

So doing one like solo show once and then into

Martin: 00:00:55

a conversation the second one.

Martin: 00:00:57

So twice a month on a fortnightly basis and

Martin: 00:01:02

then we'll see if I could keep it up and continue with it and do it more often.

Martin: 00:01:09

But with that you have one week when you publish and then for marketing this next week

Martin: 00:01:16

and then preparing for next one, et cetera.

Martin: 00:01:20

And I did a couple of episodes in January and

Martin: 00:01:24

then other things have been happening and I will also do that with the newsletter that

Martin: 00:01:31

will be on a fortnightly basis as a standard and then if it's more, it will be a newsletter

Martin: 00:01:40

every week.

Martin: 00:01:42

So that's what I've been thinking about for

Martin: 00:01:45

some time, to have a regular schedule and to be able to keep it up.

Martin: 00:01:51

So, with that said, I will do a short introduction and review of a new service in

Martin: 00:02:00

Alpha Stage called podfans FM by Sam SETI.

Martin: 00:02:10

And he did a demo, a demonstration of his

Martin: 00:02:12

service for me a few days.

Martin: 00:02:16

Ago and I was really impressed and saw the

Martin: 00:02:20

light, so to speak, what this could be for podcasters and further podcasters and co hosts

Martin: 00:02:30

and listeners and supporters and everyone included in the workflow and in the

Martin: 00:02:37

podosphere, so to speak.

Martin: 00:02:40

So I'm really exciting about this service and

Martin: 00:02:43

I have signed up for it and you could go to podfans Fmlicum where it should be my profile

Martin: 00:02:55

and I will get up a profile picture and adding some more stuff to it and start to explore it

Martin: 00:03:01

even more.

Martin: 00:03:03

One thing that I liked with it really is with

Martin: 00:03:06

this value for value model that you could do boostogram of course and then you could do

Martin: 00:03:13

streaming sets per minute.

Martin: 00:03:17

You could also do setting up like a budget

Martin: 00:03:21

that you say every time Teapotty Media is publishing new episode, I will stream this

Martin: 00:03:30

amount of sets depending on how long it is.

Martin: 00:03:37

So that's an interesting way.

Martin: 00:03:40

So you don't so called forget to support content creators that's like the model of

Martin: 00:03:47

patron that have on a monthly basis and you could have a PayPal donation every month.

Martin: 00:03:56

Thing with that is you have that on patreon, you have a certain wave and like a paywall,

Martin: 00:04:04

you could say it, but if you create content or you do different things for the readers, for

Martin: 00:04:12

the listeners, for the subscribers and donors so this could be more open.

Martin: 00:04:20

You could say like you have this ask that you ask for support because you are creating

Martin: 00:04:25

something and individuals that want to support you, but maybe want to have a reminder or not

Martin: 00:04:31

forget to support you every week.

Martin: 00:04:35

If you publish every week or for me now, then

Martin: 00:04:38

on a fortnightly basis with this podcast, then it's easier to remember.

Martin: 00:04:45

I've been thinking of that myself also lately, that, oh, I want to support this podcast, when

Martin: 00:04:53

did it publish? Is it going live, item tag, et cetera.

Martin: 00:04:58

So when you're getting into this Podcasting 2.0 initiative and what's going on, it's very

Martin: 00:05:06

interesting and how you could find new podcasts, fellow podcasters, how you could

Martin: 00:05:12

support content creators and also having these fans, you could say in a positive way.

Martin: 00:05:21

And talking about that, I think about what an artist Maria Rubia said about fans, where she

Martin: 00:05:29

called them rubies, and that you really have an interaction and have a connection.

Martin: 00:05:35

And this I think you could have with podfans FM.

Martin: 00:05:41

I was thinking of that for Pod Chaser also that it could become like a hub, a place, a

Martin: 00:05:47

community for fellow podcasts.

Martin: 00:05:50

I'm using it to remind it to for example, I

Martin: 00:05:52

have had added Adam Curry.

Martin: 00:05:55

If he is on a show or being a guest on a show,

Martin: 00:05:59

I get the notification on that.

Martin: 00:06:03

So that's a neat feature of Pod Chaser and I

Martin: 00:06:07

see it's a big market here, so it's lots of friendly competition out there and the

Martin: 00:06:12

different apps, the new podcast apps that are triggering each other of adding new feature

Martin: 00:06:18

and finding their niche and their style.

Martin: 00:06:21

So I've added new podcast apps on my phone and

Martin: 00:06:25

also on web browser here.

Martin: 00:06:26

podfans is web browser at the beginning and

Martin: 00:06:30

then it will be that you could use it on your smartphone also in the near future, I think.

Martin: 00:06:36

So I like that kind of thing.

Martin: 00:06:40

And also that users could then get Satoshi's

Martin: 00:06:44

if I do like Gamification, if I do certain things and starting Login, because that's the

Martin: 00:06:51

whole thing.

Martin: 00:06:52

If it's a new service like I interviewed, had

Martin: 00:06:56

a conversation with a co founder of Pod Chaser, if it become a habit or not.

Martin: 00:07:03

And that's the thing.

Martin: 00:07:04

And I really think that podfans FM will be

Martin: 00:07:08

that for me and for my fellow podcaster.

Martin: 00:07:14

I think that will be the case because Samsati

Martin: 00:07:18

has really got it and presented in a nice way.

Martin: 00:07:24

So this is a short and sweet introduction to

Martin: 00:07:28

podfans FM and I look forward to review it a bit more and learn about it and test it out in

Martin: 00:07:39

the near future, hopefully.

Martin: 00:07:41

I know that Sam is busy, but they're having

Martin: 00:07:43

him as a guest on this podcast and I have already one guest in the pipeline.

Martin: 00:07:49

You could say that, he said.

Martin: 00:07:50

On Mastodon.

Martin: 00:07:51

On Podcast Index, social fellow Martin NUM.

Martin: 00:07:56

Now you say in Swedish martin of Pod friend.

Martin: 00:08:00

He's working on new version there on his app, Pod Friend, and it's interesting to see what

Martin: 00:08:08

he's doing there.

Martin: 00:08:10

And I asked him if he wanted to be a guest on

Martin: 00:08:14

my show and he said that he would do that and that's great.

Martin: 00:08:19

So I would say with that I will talk to you soon again and cheerio.

Martin: 00:08:26

So bye for now.

Martin: 00:08:28

And of course you should have a call to action

Martin: 00:08:31

and that could be that you check out the new podcast app on new podcast apps or the new URL

Martin: 00:08:42

podcast apps like Applications so Podcastapps.com.

Martin: 00:08:49

And check out new apps like podverse, Fountain, Podframed, et cetera.

Martin: 00:09:00

And I think podfans will be included there also in the future.

Martin: 00:09:07

So with that said, cheerio once more and talk to you soon again.
