An education podcast from Chris

Website: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testing-value-block

Step by step process of creating a podcast, adding the value block as specified in the Podcastindex.org GitHub repository, and then testing by streaming through different podcast apps. Quick and dirty audio recording on my phone to have some audio file to test out. While I do list of each step I take, expect no editing or any production value. This is just garbage audio file to test out the value block specification and streaming satoshis via the bitcoin lightning network.

Get a universal link

https://podnews.net/podcast/i95bv/listen is a so-called universal link: it will automatically open Google Podcasts on Android phones, Apple Podcasts on iOS devices, or this page. Both Apple Podcasts and the Google Podcasts player are pre-installed on every phone.

A QR code to this URL is a great way to share your podcast. You’ll find a QR code at the top of this page on desktop. It’s particularly ideal for business cards, posters or conventions.

But - you are always better to fully control your own podcast and not rely on any third-party - even us. So, here’s the code to add a universal link to your own website. Copy/paste this HTML into a new file on your website, and link to that instead.
