  • We were excited to see The News Quiz, part of the BBC’s Friday Night Comedy podcast, publishing immediately after transmission at the end of last week. The show had been subject to a 30-day windowing trial for the past 18 months, with the newest episodes only available on BBC Sounds. The bad news: that was a mistake, we’re told. The good news: the show now only has a 7-day window.

  • IPv6 is the future of how our phones and devices connect to the internet - but, says Podscribe’s Pete Birsinger, IPv6 has a massive effect on attribution technologies: reducing results by up to around 50% for some campaigns. The company can correctly model for the differences, he says.

  • In the Podcasting 2.0 podcast this week, Dave Jones briefly discusses video podcasting, and how the alternateEnclosure and HLS streams are really the best way to support them. HLS streams can be of variable bitrate to deal with network conditions and are significantly cheaper for podcast hosting companies than serving one big 4K video file.

  • Podnews podcast pages now support full credits, as seen here, using the podcast:person tag. The list uses the Podcast Taxonomy project’s job roles.

    • We’ve also significantly highlighted our support of one of the most widely-supported features, the podcast:funding tag, as seen here.
    • We’ve also changed our description of “value4value” to “streaming payments”. Value 4 Value is not just streaming sats, and the concept doesn’t require any technology stack.
    • We’ve also retired support for webmentions (we’re not the only one).
