    This time last week, we asked for boost messages - not (just) a vain attempt at getting more satoshis, but (also) a test of code that inserts messages received by boost directly into JSON chapters, in a tool by John Spurlock called Reflex. You can see the effect by playing the episode in Podverse, clicking the player in the footer to enlarge it. Thank you to everyone who took part.

    For the first time, money from listeners is shared directly with the music artists: listen on a compatible podcast player, like Podverse, Fountain or Podfans, and money is sent from your balance directly to the artist as you listen. Using Value4Value, the amounts are up to you; and you can "boost" songs to give more to the artists you like.

    Podcast host RSS.​com is the first podcast host to have released fully free automatic transcripts for all its customers. The transcripts appear on episode pages on the RSS website, and should also appear within supporting podcast apps (like Podverse, Podbean or PodcastAddict). Users can choose different qualities, depending how fast they want the transcripts adding, and can also edit them before publication. The tool was built in-house and has been under development for a year; initially transcripts are available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese and Turkish.

    The Podcast Index is suggesting a method of improving podcast download tracking statistics with a _guid parameter. The idea is to produce a random guid per enclosure, which is consistent for every listener. "Instantly, you have perfect stats," developer Dave Jones says, since it gives certainty for total download numbers without threatening privacy.
