  • Audio geeks might enjoy this sound design tutorial to help you recreate some of those classic 80s synth sounds from Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill, seen in Web Audio Weekly. (Fans of that song might also enjoy The Pub Choir singing it in Podnews’s home town of Brisbane QLD, Australia - your Editor is sometimes in this choir, but not this time).

  • JustCast has added full integration for value-for-value with the Alby wallet. The company joins RSS·com last week.

  • Podcast Admin is new, and is an open-source podcast platform that runs on Google Cloud and Firebase, and coded using React. Features include configurable pre-roll and post-rolls, statistics and supports multiple users.

  • Boosts this week include 2222 sats from Blubrry’s Mike Dell (“I think I have the hang of this”); 1024 sats from Dave Jones besmirching Spotify once more (“When the Index first started people were roundly skeptical of there being 4.5 million podcasts. Now everyone wants to claim that number”); 3 sats from JAF2100 (“keep up”, they say, intruiguingly); 1,000 from Fail Better Media’s Georg; 10 from cristobal_mena; 10 from xavi_herrera; and a thumb-up emoji and 10 sats from alfcamacho.
