As a Canadian, this is my definition of full stack. 🇨🇦 https://twitter.com/tlakomy/status/1185929305202802695

@uibreakfast Oh my gosh. That looks incredible!

This podcast series by @taylorotwell is really good. 👍

@iChris Oh sign me up

@raspberrysarah @takeETSalert Is everyone voting?

@philipphenke I love @huffduffer. I'll look into it.

@Patticus Oooh. That’s on my bucket list for 🏂

@Patticus Whoa! That looks colder than my part of Canada! Are you at the South Pole?

@misterparker @robwalling @SingleFounder So jealous! Wish I was there.

@benediktdeicke @peldi 👋 wish I was there! 😭

@iamdavidhill @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Thanks David! New ep coming tomorrow. ✌️

@msitver @Overcast By “quick consumption” I mean, a video feels “lighter.” Most folks have 5 minutes to watch a video.

A 40 minute podcast, by contrast, feels a lot heavier.

Related.🤣

@joshuaanderton So smart. Really digging this series by @taylorotwell.

@sudyk @kalenjordan @TransistorFM Yup. Read the full thread here:

@brittlestar I love GF wings! How come I wasn’t invited to this party? 😜

“Podcasts grow differently than blog and video audiences.”

And... maybe this is a good thing? 🧐

@RamliJohn I know @brandonhull is working on this. 👌

Incidentally, this doesn’t just affect small, indie podcasts.

On the latest episode of Startup, @abexlumberg said they had two main challenges:

- getting their shoes in front of more people
- finding new audiences for their shows

@theandreboso Not yet!

@vernbot holy shit you’re my real dad

@theandreboso A search for “build your saas” returns these results currently.

@russellbarnard Not yet!

@theandreboso Yes, this has been true since May, and seems to be more or less rolled out by now.

I wouldn’t say it’s had a dramatic impact on podcast consumption. (At least not yet)

https://youtu.be/3WwH3l_guCw

@SravanG Yes, you’re right.

Definitely similarities there.

There are little discoverability communities (like @podysseyapp + @podhuntapp) that have worked well for me (in terms of getting recommendations), but their reach is currently limited.

https://podyssey.fm/mijustin

@isterin Right now @podhuntapp is trying to provide that very service!

@Patticus There are little discoverability communities (like @podysseyapp + @podhuntapp) that have worked well for me (in terms of getting recommendations), but their reach is currently limited.

https://podyssey.fm/mijustin

@Patticus Apple probably runs the best discoverability engine, but it’s not really something that is “leverageable” (outside of convincing many people to subscribe + download in their app).

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1185667034857607168?s=21

Apple Podcasts is probably doing the most for discoverability right now:

- editorialized homepage recommendations
- algorithm-driven recommendations (“You might also like...”)
- podcast charts (based on subscriber momentum)

It’s “OK,” but could definitely be improved.

Apps had a single marketplace (the App Store); one place to search for, and discover, new apps.

Podcast discovery is spread across multiple directories and apps (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Search, Podchaser, PodHunt, Podyssey).

@SravanG Not really. Apps had a single marketplace (the App Store); a single place to search for, and discover, new apps.

It’s possible that podcast discovery will never have as much throughput as discovery on YouTube, Netflix, etc

Google search *might* change this, but I’m skeptical.

Podcasting is just a slower medium.

@Patticus Totally. The thread is my attempt to explore that a bit.

My best guess right now is that podcast discovery will never have as much throughput as discovery on YouTube, Netflix, etc

Google search *might* change this, but I’m skeptical.

Podcasting is just a slower medium.

A podcast listener has to cross a greater threshold than someone reading and article (or watching a video).

Deciding to listen to a podcast is a commitment; you want to know that it’s going to be worth it.

You can easily link to a podcast, but (unlike video and web articles) they won’t be consumed immediately.

On the web, a steady stream of links to your article / video generally increases your audience. But that technique doesn’t help podcasts as much.

Podcasts already have distribution (RSS to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts).

What they don’t have:
- easy discoverability
- easy amplification
- quick consumption

Podcasts grow differently than blog and video audiences. https://twitter.com/Patticus/status/1185561722465243136

@coreyhainesco Thanks!

@JamieJBartlett @BBCSounds Really great show. 👌

@arvidkahl @IndieHackers Really enjoyed this thread, and reading your comments.

Congrats on the sale Arvid and @SimpsonDaniK! 🙌

@jonhainstock @derrickreimer @flybayer @_aaronackerman_ @MicroConf Growth

OH HECK YES!

@FounderQuest is back for Season 2.

@stauffermatt I use @usefathom by @JackEllis and @pjrvs - built in Laravel! ❤️

Alright! I got some great #microconf food recommendations from @derrickreimer, @flybayer, @_aaronackerman_, and others.

If you have anything I should add, let me know!

@mdbrad This is a really cool idea, but we don’t have a public API (yet!)

@shylands @aircare_ I’m really interested in this space, but I’ve been hearing (increasingly) that these programs are ineffective.

Any recent research that shows they actually help?

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-08-22/clean-environment-and-clean-conscience-does-carbon-offsetting-actually-work/

@derrickreimer 🙌 got it. I’ll add these shortly

@chrisachard Ack! Good catch.

I've just updated my #microconf 2020 "tips and tricks" blog post, but... I've never been to Minneapolis!

https://justinjackson.ca/microconf

Any locals want to give me some good tips for these sections?

@misener is it a good weight for an animal?

I'm beta testing an upcoming @TransistorFM feature, and getting feedback like this is 🙌.

"When I first heard about this idea I didn't get it. Now that I've experienced it I can see it's awesomely game changing."

YES! 🕺💃

@calebporzio @brandonsurowiec @DCoulbourne To me, the entire podcast sounds like beat poetry.

@calebporzio @noplanstomerge "Oh, they're talking about programming now? I'm out!"

@StoopApp @ColinBrauns @cnu @marckohlbrugge @levelsio @ajlkn NICE! 🙌

@jayclouse @upsidefm @podhuntapp 🙌

From now on I’m listening to @noplanstomerge only for the fishing stories. 🎣

Who has the best podcast banter?

@calebporzio and @DCoulbourne do.

@seanwashbot Oh! Party line! Yeah.

@pjrvs Let’s ask @adamwathan 👋

@kwuchu Nice 👌

@bentossell Lol. The one year I decided to sit it out!

After sitting out last year, I've just booked tickets for #microconf (Growth).

👋 See you in Minneapolis!

@eriktheviking Really? Weird. Why not, when everything else is on there?

@Disney @disneyplus For parents, this is a no-brainer. Every classic Disney film is on here.

But it will also be appealing to nostalgic 30-somethings:
- Simpsons
- Marvel
- Star Wars
- DARKWING DUCK!!!

Insane flex by @Disney.

They drop a tweet thread with every movie, TV show, and property they own.

Everything will be on @disneyplus.

@JamesClear What does this look like?

Is a “performance-based” signal something like a vlogger with millions of subscribers?

I like how @robwalling describes the benefits of building an audience.

It’s not always about getting direct sales! Often, it’s the other, intangible, benefits that make it worthwhile.

His whole chat with @CorbettBarr is worth listening to:

https://overcast.fm/+Jq5UGN6s

@CookbookCooks @duchessbakeshop Looks awesome!

@cnu @marckohlbrugge @levelsio @ajlkn For me, as a meetup coordinator, I need the price-point to be a "no-brainer" so that I just don't think about it.

$19 / year / per group feels fair enough.

@iChris @GoodstuffFM @TransistorFM @Netlify @suenns THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT!

@marckohlbrugge @levelsio I would pay for the "Carrd version" of Meetup, where I pay $19 / year, and get to run multiple events, handle RSVPs, etc...

At that price point, it becomes a no-brainer.
