Tips and tricks - with Podnews Live - where podcasting connects

The Tech Stuff - with The Podcast Standards Project

Phase six of the new podcast namespace is now closed. These new tags will be voted on for formalisation into the standard:

  • podcast:remoteItem - which allows other episodes or items to be referenced. Specifically, this is being used to reference “podsafe” music tracks, so that album art and v4v payment information is available to a podcast app.
  • List mediums - a method of producing playlists
  • podcast:acceptsGuests - a method of stating whether your podcast accepts guests (and therefore whether you welcome suggestions) or not. Likely to be withdrawn.
  • podcast:podroll - a way for a podcaster to recommend other shows in a list. (The Podnews Daily RSS feed supports this).
  • podcast:updateFrequency - to help a creator to indicate when episodes will be published. (The Podnews Daily RSS feed supports this).
  • podcast:podping - allowing a creator to indicate to apps and aggregators that a show is being updated on the podping network, and removing the need to poll the RSS feeds “just in case”.
  • podcast:valueTimeSplit - as in use already on the Podcasting 2.0 feed, a way to ensure that authors or musicians used in specific segments appear on the v4v payment.
