From the pastWe shall learn our future. And it'sfull of exciting art. It's. yes. Welcome,everyone, to the fourth season of the Valuefor Value podcast. My name is Kyrinand I am the host of The Mere Mortals,Mere Mortals Book Reviewsand also this podcast, which is for digitalcontent creators. We want to connect deeperwith the audience and don't want to do iton the normal mechanisms that you wouldperhaps do it through, you know, PayPal and Spotifyand putting up ads and all thissort of thing. No, this is for how you can directly connectwith your audience and using thisthrough the exciting new modelmethod of value for value.
So it's been a while. I'm hereon the 4th of March 2024. I did promisethat I would be back much sooner than this,and I obviously was very incorrect about thatand you hear a bit more about thatat the end of the podcast. So just stay tunedfor that. I'm going to go today as is basically kind oflike a recap episode of everything we coveredin the first three season. What's coming upfor season four? A little look at perhapssome collaborators that I'm working withfor this season, and then just some stuffat the end related to the BoostaGram Lounge. Latest developmentsin podcasting 2.0.
Why Value for value? Essentially all of thesesorts of things. So let's just jump into,I suppose, a recap. Recapand what the focus for this seasonis going to be. So season one was allabout the philosophy. So I had episodes likeThe Value of Tough Love, Why Freeze and FreeThings like This? And it was really just trying to explainnot only for the for you at home,the viewer, the listener,but for myself, what exactly makes upvalue for value? And it's inits core principles. So that's alwaysthe season. I kind of recommend forsomeone who wants to know. Just like the deeperunderlying things, Season twowas really focussed about podcastingand podcasters and how they wereimplementing value for value in their shows.
And this is where we seeit was a mix of techniques of how to ask, of implementing different strategiesof gamification, of all of thesesorts of things. And then we came onto season three and that culminatedin my book Reviews Channel where I really tried toexplain as best as I could how I was implementingeverything I'd learned from everyone else. Season three was much moreon the technical focus, so we were lookingat technical developments. I was really explaining how I thoughtthe combination of RSS, v4 V and BTC,the three acronyms worked perfectly togetherand they worked perfectly because they had a bunch of shared propertiesself-sovereign ity of being permissionlessof value transfer and permissionlessto anyone to to want to, to join access,all of these sorts of wonderful things.
So that was,I suppose I looking at technical things as well, and we started to talk a little bit about some of the excitingthings going onwith related to blogging and how it could work. And with that especially a valuefor value music, which I covered a coupleof times over there. So season four, what are we going to doin season four? Well, this is all about trying to take a historicallook at trends to see where we're going. Referencing what I said right at the startthere from the past, we shall learn our future and it's fullof exciting art. So what I have really been doing over these last three monthssince I've been away is I've been readingquite a few books and in particular onthe book Reviews channel.
I usually tend to focus on older books, on classics. So things you know from written at least20 years ago or longer. And I did do somethinga little bit different with some of the bookreviews, which I was I was readingmuch more modern book. So bookspublished within the last, you know, five, ten years. And these would be thingslike The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly of Freeby Chris Anderson, The Long Tail by ChrisAnderson Colemanis there by Lewis Hyde. And the book was By orI've forgotten his name, John B Thomson, I believe. And this was all just so I could really get an idea of what'sgoing to happen with the future of,of publishing of of contentjust in general.
So musicobviously book was that was all aboutthe e-book, the e-book and the publishingindustry, how that changed and technological trends and thingsgoing like that. And with all of thesetrends, I was just noticinga common theme occurring, which is that thingsare going to change. There's there's definitelygoing to be change. No, Spotify is not goingto stay the way it is and just be like thisfor the next 20 years, that that'snot how technology works. And I think a lot of these thingsare indicating that we're going towards a a more open future, a more a future fullof collaboration of actually usingwhat I talked about before, before the RSS andand Bitcoin and how they all mergetogether.
Now, what we're also going to be doingthis season is and distinguishingthe season as I'm going to bedoing some collaborations. So this is going to be, I suppose, a fun,exciting new thing for me. You have already hearda little bit of it right at the start there,which was some music, but I also have threepeople who I just want to to call out and say, you'll be hearing or seeing partsof their work, their voices,their their art through that throughoutthis coming season. And so the first oneI've got here is Mr. Cole McCormick, who is ahow would I describe Cole? So he does many differentthings.
He's a v4v director. So he put out what I think is one of the first films directly created withthe value for value model in mind of putting this out as a film, monetising solelythrough that of including peoplein the splits. And you can find this this short filmthat he created called Magic Mushroom Fun time on any of your podcasting appsbecause it is a video that was distributedthroughout RSS and Colehas been working with me on the BookReviews channel for about the last twoor three months and we were doingsome quotes together and I might talk aboutthis a little bit later about how the modelhas to change dependingon your audience.
And and I've found someinteresting things related to that, to theto the book reviews. But Cole has been doingsome quotes for me because whatI was finding was I was doing these book reviews and then I tryand read them out myself and I just stumble over my wordslike, I'm not that greatat sticking to the line. I haven't doneany acting classes per se, or if I have,I definitely didn't enjoy them and stuckaround with them. So he's been helping me out with that and what I'm going to get him to do and what he's agreed to dowith me is to to takesome of these book quotes from all of these booksthat I was reading, talking about the pastand how technology has changedand how it has moved certain industriesin certain directions.
And he's going to behelping me out with that. So he's going to be providingsome quotes from these books and I'm going to beusing them to form an argument of of why I think valuefor value as a future. And that is the the trendthat we're going towards just so you can geta taste of his voice. I took this one. This is one of the favourite quotesthat I got him to do, and this was from which book was The Winter of Discontentby John Steinbeck. And so here's just alittle taste of of Cole's great voiceacting abilities. And we might notget the funniness of this because it'll probably bea bit more dry and the, the content I'mgetting him to read out will be a bit not,not as intriguing as this, but nevertheless,here's a taste of it.

What a wonderful thinga woman is. I can admire what they do, even if I don't understand why what Margieand Mary went through their pleasantlitany. What have you donewith your hair? I like it. That's your colour. You should always wear it. The harmless recognitionsignals of women. I thought ofthe most feminine story I ever heard. Two women meet, one cries. What have you donewith your hair? It looks like a wig. It is a wig. Well, you'd never know it. Maybe these are deeperresponses than we know or have any right to know.
[00:08:27] Unknown:
Thank you, Cole. Amazing. And that was amazingbook as well. I love John Stone Steinbeckas a as an author. So Cole, he also hasa podcast called America. Plus, if you want to hear moreabout him and his his drawings,his learnings of his waysof trying to find new ways of communication,that's a really great, great placeto to tune into him. And he's also findable,I guess, searchable on Twitterat Cole McCormick one. So you want to connectwith Cole, you'll you'll be hearing and hearing hima lot more over these next next couple of months. Next,we're going on to a little bit of a random one.
This is a guy called Sven,and I actually met him at one of my localBitcoin meet ups. And I remember he he had a littlepresentation where he was showingall of these really cool gifts that he was creatingand G.I.s s gifts. And you'll see this nowin your chapter artwork. If you're if you'retuning in after the fact, if you're live with me now, unfortunately,you can't do that. PerhapsI will go on YouTube at some point, just so you can seethis as well, becauseI'd be kind of fun. But inany case, I spend has created all of thesethings and I was like, man, I just, you know, how does someone like himmake money for for creating giftsfor for doing things?
Like what? And for him, it wasn't. It was just a passionproject. But I was like, you knowwhat? These are so cool. I really love artwork. I love the chapters of putting all of these senseinto podcasting 2.0 and thankfullynow my my host blueberry is up the limit for what I can includeand so I can include gifts now inin my chopped artwork. So what you'll be seeing is every now and thensome random little, you know, Bitcoin things, just to keep itinteresting, especially if I'm onthe topic of bitcoin and, and talking aboutwhy it's why it's helpful and why it's part of my value for valuephilosophy, you'll see those arepopping up so well too.
Thanks Sven,very much for doing that. He is in the splits,of course, as is Cole. And if you want to findhim, he's also searchable on Twitterat a Starfury Flames. If you if you wantto connect more with him, the final collaboration. So we've got,you know, voice acting, we've got the imageryand graphics. We're going to havesome music. Nice. So this is the doerfelswho is also helping us out. And you heard part of thevery song Bloodshot Lies, which I'm going to beusing for the intro music for for this season, because man,it pumps me up. I love that song. And so the Doerfelsfor those who don't know, are a bandbased out of Nashville, and it's a band of fivebrothers, it's hard to count five brothers,mom, dad and sister.
There'sthere's a lot of them. And they've created all of thismusic over the years. They're not an active bandat this moment, but they have this wholeback catalogue of music and Sir TJ The Wrathful TJ Doerfel He heard about all of thisexciting stuff going on with value for valueand value for value music, and he wasone of the first people to truly stop start uploading tracksand to generatea bit of interest. And in this valuefor value music of people who have created their musicand instead of, you know, they had their shotand trying to do it throughthe traditional methods of the music industry, of doing it through Spotify,and they found that it just didn'twork for them.
But they're having a kindof renaissance moment, doing it again throughvalue for value music. And so you'll see now I've also included the Dolefulas a as a split into this. We'll be talkinga little bit more later about the value of timesplits, what I can and can't doat this very moment. But nevertheless Willwill be playing some music not only justfrom The Doerfels but from other peoplethroughout this podcast, and they will beparticipating in this and helpingto collaborate with me. And if you joininto the live stream like Chad did beforeand I absolutely blasted is is that because I didn't have my levelsfully sorted out yet which they will be,do not worry.
Then you'llalso be hearing a lot of their music because I'll be playingthem in my pre stream and poststream music. So once again,thank you for the dollars if you want to find themdoleful verse dot com. I know it's the placewhere they're directing people and that's spelt D O er f e l verse.COM And then if you alsowanted to connect with t j he's so t jthe wrathful on the podcastindex Mastodon. So that is, I suppose my, my collaborationis just a little bit of what's going onfor this season and I want to get intothe boostagram Lounge now to thank some peoplefrom from the last episode becauseit has been a while and we do need to call out some peopleand give some thanks.
So Mr. Adam Curry, canyou please take it away? Welcometo the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge. Ooh, nice. Thank you, Adam, forintroducing the Boosta Gram Lounge. So this is the sectionwhere I give some call outs. Thank some peoplewho have been helping to to support the show in amonetary form, especially, which I really, really do advocate doing itthrough booster grams, which is where you cansend a message directlywithin your podcasting app and this will bein any good app. So not all of them do it. So placeslike Spotify and Apple where they do not do it,but places like True Fans, podcast, podcast gurucurio are going to breeze.
I'm trying to remember medicall off the top of my head Fountainobviously Pod friend And is there one morethat I'm forgetting? That could be. But those,those are the main ones at the very least. And you can send a messagedirectly within the app. It will comedirectly to me. It will also come directly to all the people I havein my splits, which is very cool. And this is all aboutcollaboration. So, you know, 5% I've allocated to going to too many of these podcast app developersto encourage them to keep doingwhat they're doing. I've got 15%going to call McCormack because he's creatingthis music, creating these the voiceacting clips for me on the fly each week.
So he's having to puta bit of effort in and then 10%is going to spend stuff for your flamesand 10% is also going to the doors as appreciationfor what they're doing. So this is the plan, the current set up thatI've got this read out. Basically,I'm taking your time card. So we have from November2nd, 20, 23, that's a full three monthsago 2100 set sent using fountainfrom McIntosh and he says great seasonMacintosh to Macintosh thank you very much he is the host of theSatoshis Plebs podcast. It's changed his namea couple of times. He's appeared on on this very podcastmultiple times, each time with a new name.
So yeah. Macintosh Thankyou very much, my friend. And he's going to a greatBitcoin podcast. If you want to knowmore about Muse and News and the underlyingprecepts of of Bitcoin, we have, not only is he appearing on herewith his crazy voice acting, but he'shelping support the show. We have comic, comic one,he says. Long live value for value. Onward to a new season, get rested, recalibrate the valueis all around you. 3333 sentusing fountain again. Thank you, my friend. Much much appreciated. Yes. And I did restand recalibrate. So I am feeling,you know, from feeling actually sickat this very moment.
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you man. We have from Novembersix circus media. And I I'm pretty surethis is circus as like sir and then see you assessmedia as in he's no agenda a night at the roundtable and he saysinteresting explanation in managingyour expectations as a B for the producer. One thing I thinkcame through, though not explicitly,is the idea of what you,the Creator, deserve. That is a key difference in V for you,the Creator does not determinethe product value. Very true. Thank you. So whether you wereconsistent in production or a one and done is strictlya personal decision and irrelevant to the value of receivedin return they would be wise tocontinue to.
Can you? Sorry, this is why I getcold to read out things. So stuff I'm not thoughwould be wise to continuepractising aircraft to improveand increase our exposure. One, two, 345sets sent using fountain. Thank you very much. Now what's great now is nowthat the bitcoin price has moved up tonearly 100 k Australian, it's reallyeasy in my mind to know how much peoplehave sent through. And so at this very moment,1000 sets is about a dollar for me. So that's, you know, $12.34but is sent through there. So thank you. Thank you very much,my friend. I very much appreciate it.
And yes, agreed the valuefor value model. What I kind of describe itlike I describe Bitcoin, which is on the surface,it's it's extremely simple. It's just it'sa decentralised money, an internet money,a digital money. You know, what's the what'smore simple than that? Value for value?Extremely simple. I create a product for free and distributeit out to you, and then you just return some valuein some shape and form. But then you get intothe weeds of like, okay, if I createdin this particular manner, you know,as a documentary, how do I get peopleto know that I do the valuefor value model and get them to return the valuefor what it's created and I've seen a lot of discussions about this, and I think everyonehas to go on their own individual path, which iswhat makes it hard value forvalue is is not a like you said, like a oneand done type thing.
I think even if you do that, it's that you've got to createthe you've got to create the base,the support, the expectations ofthis is how it's done. And I think that takesa long time to be honest. So doing itas a one and done like one movie and expectingvalue for value two to work monetarilyand you be rich and all those sorts of things, I don't think it reallyworks like that, but that I, you know,that's what he said. It kind of comes across. I did see Sam Sethi,who was streaming it a lot. I do see a lot of my owntest booth for this last season.
And I do see Chad,who was joining us live, and he said dolls in the preshow333 sets and using POD was and then also awe do it live another 333. So thank you very much,Chad. Much appreciate it. He's he's been sharingsome of the clips and episodes of the value for value show acrossdifferent mediums as well. So I really do appreciatethat meant that that that helps a lotand that helps a lot and will be talkingabout value for value in the waysyou can contribute back shortly right atthe end of this episode. So sorry. There was one other person who sent a messageand this was so bray.
I'm not sure I called itout on the last time, but he said V for Vis a future of all payment lightning crashes,and then he's got his his was that rock emoji and that was 3333sent using pot verse. I might have calledthat out live. If not, I didwant to talk about him shortly because he's he's doingsome interesting things which are helping outmusicians. So let's go into thissection here, which is I suppose, some of my latestdevelopments and this is just keeping you up to date withwhat's going on in the, you know, value for value world,some interesting concepts, tests, proofs, ideasthat people are working on and which are helpingcreators like myself be able to monetise andconnect with the audience at the same time.
So there's three things I wanted to talk abouthere actually for Soledad. So librariespoint in here. So first one, there's a new thingcoming out called Fountain Radio. If you go to I think it's FountainRadio dot if am, I probably shouldhave brought this up beforehand. Radio,radio dot, Fountain dot FM is whatI wanted to call that. And this is just a littlewebsite based thing they created. And it's essentiallylike a jukebox. And you can, you know, pay to have your song get put tothe top of the jukebox. They've got a chat inthere as well. It's not necessarilypeople.
They're all partsof the day. It's kind of hardto actually know. They don'thave timestamps, so you're not sure exactly, but it's worth going ontoand just playing around and you're helpingto support musicians when you're uploading your favouritesongs in there. And it's a great way tofind your music as well. So Radio Dot,Fountain, Dot FM is is a great place for you to,to find new music and to, to, tosend it back to them. The next one I had here was just a shout outto Blueberry for implementingthe value time splits. So how value time splitsfor those who don't know is whenI as a podcast creator can referenceanother piece of work and all the donations or a percentage of that, a large percentage will goto the actual creator.
And this is essentially how value for valuemusic is working. So I'm going to playa song right at the end of each episode. And what will happen is that when you'relistening to that in a post hand,the the split, instead of going,you know, 100% to the, you know, 60% to meand then 50%, 50% to call 10%to other people, what's going to happenis it will switch and I'll put it 90%to that musician with 10% then going to to me and the rest of the peoplewho are in my splits, obviously that'sreducing it down a lot. So they won't really begetting that much, which is is kind of finebecause it's it's musicthat that is being played.
Now. The cool thing forthis is it's really taking offwith music and that's why you're seeing all these value for valuemusic shows popping up. And if you go on to a place like Ellen Beats,which is a an app which you can downloadonto your desktop and I believeonto your phone, if you go to musicshows there, there's a wholebunch at the moment. I'll stilldouble to read them out. Also,I've got rolling on show radio story on BrewsterGram Ball, the side stream statsand sounds VU for the podcastIt's a mood the fairly fun show black cat music podcastmixtape wave like Martin made a music outside inwith Jemmy V Lightning thrashesby column owner so Lee Bright upbeat Home-Grown hitsPhantom power music outand before this games.
nice. I might be addingmy own little one. Probably not in the next four months,but maybe after that. I really think that wouldbe a fun thing to do. And so whatthese V for the music shows do, essentially they will play music,they'll switch the, the, the, the splitsto go to the musicians while the music playing. And then when they'retalking again like a DJ, like aa V a VF veejay, then the splits willgo back to them. So what we're going to dois unfortunately we don't have the ability to do itlive. Blueberry. It doesn't do thatat this moment. So what I will be doingis instead in post ten, I'll be doingthe Valley time split.
So if you're listeningto this after the fact and you're listeningto the music set section segment, the splits,we go into there to the musician. Now what's also cool is I'm going to do it, for example,for that little piece that call, righta red off. I'm actually going to bedoing it for my own show because that was taken from one of the bookreviews. So not only can you do itthrough music, but you can also do it through otherpieces of work. So you could do it throughspoken word, you could do itthrough audiobooks. I know there's there's some hints that some peopleare thinking of doing some some audio books or perhaps even callwho I see in the chat.
And he sent through 1111 sites and he said,We are so back. Yes, we are cool. I know he even he has been havingsome thoughts of perhapsdoing some audio books or some cartsor something like that. So you could be ableto reference not only music,but it could be, you know, your favourite poem. If someone has createdthat as a as a RSS feed and you know, it's in the public domainand things like that. So very cool is excitingstuff going on with that and you will be noticing me implementingthat as best as I can. The final oneI wanted to give a shout out to was Home who I think are doingreally cool things with just thethe hosting for podcasts.
I don't know how this guyhas got his whole set up, but basicallyif you go over to him at home, DotCole, help me out. Cole is a podhome. Dot FM. Let me quickly typein pot home dot FM. Yep. And if you go there and sign up, it'sjust a one time like a one plan fee,which I believe is 15 U.S. a month. And he's even got some promo codesand things like that. And you can createas many podcasts as you wantand put in all of these sorry, 16, 1599 a month and put in all of theseexciting things like chapterslike using value time. So it's like being ableto go live.
I know Cole McCormickdoes that with his show America Plus as well. So lots of interesting, cool thingsgoing on there. And Ithink it's just worthy shouting outthe hosts like Blueberry who are implementing thingsand and and Barry at home for implementing the tools that creatorslike myself want to use. So super, super cool. Finally there was ThunderRoad dot Media. So if you are a musicianand you're wanting to get started of using puttingyour music up online so that people can find itand so that, you know, peoplelike myself can play it, this is a great placefor you to go to because hehe basically does all of the work for you.
He he helps create it. He takes a 3% share. It's a it's a pretty goodpretty good service. I haven't used it myself. So I'm just using like from what I seefrom the outside, it looks likea pretty good service. So he's definitely doing some really cool thingsand I would recommend people would go thereand try that if you are a musician. Thunder Road DotMedia is How to to type that into your browserand find that okay,the last section here is just a little section herejust just talking about why I really encouragepeople to, to use all of the coolnew technology.
And I had a chatwith this guy called Trevor recently,and I did this on the Me Models podcast and Trevoris a pretty big v4v fan, but he's nota Bitcoin fan. And so he was just sayinglike, you know, I feel there's too muchemphasis being put on the of doing all of thesethings through Bitcoin. Like it's hard. Peopledon't understand that there's better optionsof doing it through PayPal or Patreonor things like that. And we had an interestingdiscussion. What I personally wantto do though is is like I said, this is more onthe cutting edge. This is more meexperimenting with new tools, newtechniques, new tactics with the new technology.
And I think it justhas some very, very superior benefitsthat whilst are difficult, they're difficult. Like the Internet wasdifficult back in 1995. They're difficult likethe social media platforms were in, you know, 2008. It takes time to get usedto these things. It takes timeto test them out. And for a relativenewcomer to to come in to them, I can say in the lastthree years they've gotten much,much better. Sending a boosthas never been easier. Getting some Bitcoinand Lightning Network has never been easier. It's still hard, there's no doubt.
It's still it's still a little bit hard, butit is getting easier and the thing is, it just enablesso many more cool things. The splits,it's programmable money. I think it's just a like it is a revolutionarything to to be able to use And so that's why advocatesadvocate for it so hard. And this is nothing to dowith Bitcoin itself in termsof whether you think it's a good investmentor anything like that. No, this is just mesaying like, I encourage youto use these things because I think they aregoing to be the future and I think it is worthwhile playing aroundwith them now and being able to connectwith with your favourite creator,or if you're a creator, being able to connectwith your audience because it'snot just about the money, it is aboutthe whole value for value, respect the whole valuefor value philosophy.
So that gets me on tomy last little thing here. Time, talent and treasure. This is how you can helpsupport this value for valueShow time Sharing this episodewith a digital creator. It would be amazingbecause this is the type of peoplewho I really want to try and direct this towardsso that they can know whether they bea musician, whether they be a digitalartist like like Sven is, whether they be a voiceactor, whether, you know,whatever their art is, whatever it is that they're creatingand that can be distributedin a physical medium, sorry,in a digital medium.
I think this this kind of philosophy can can reach outto everyone and this is whyI think we'll start to see a lot more collaboration happening in this nextyear, especially of people like myself and otherswho are trying to get other peopleinterested in working togetherand creating new things. And I hope this podcastepisode does that. I hope the digital artthat's that'sappearing on your screen from time to time, thatCarl's voice acting, that the music I play, I hope that all of that creates a new product that is interestingand exciting. So definitely share this episodewith the digital creator.
You can come join me live. I will for the next month,be going live at 10 a.m. Australian EasternStandard Time, which is UTC on aon a monday, which is UTC zeromidnight. So wherever you arein the world, if your time zone isplus three, then it will be at 3amiexpect you to join me. No, I mean it would begreat if you did, but that that's probably the easiest way ofof figuring. You're figuring outwhat exactly time I am. I do put a live pendingnotification. So if you are in any ofthe podcast apps like pop verse and podcast guru and Fountain and Truefans, you will see that there isa live notification or a pending statusfor this podcast.
So that'sprobably the best way that you'll be able to seewhen actually it is that I'm goinglive talent. I want to know,is there anything I can do to make this show better?What annoys you? What resources are similar to the iOS appoverlap of these? I've already mentionedbooks and technology. If you think there'sany books that I would findintriguing that would be helpfulto cover on this next valuefor value season. I would love love for youto recommend one of those. Obviously I'd say yesand send it in via boost. But if you don'twant to do that, I understandI've had people send messages to mevia Facebook.
I had a really nice onerecently on them via Facebookfor the book reviews, which is blew me away. It was ait was a fantastic message from someone who really,really helped me out and knowing whathe enjoyed, what he didn't enjoy aboutthe the podcast episode. So you can alsoreach out there if you're uncomfortable using the best gramsand things like that. The last recommendationtreasure. I said, Well, obviouslyyou got a couple options available for you. I recommend usingany of the podcast apps. If you go to mea modest podcast dot com slash support, I've got a tutorial guidethere on on what they look like,how to use them as well as some linksfor my other main shows the mere mortals.
There's also youcan also do it directly through the podcast index websitethat supports the splits. If none of those are interesting to youand you like and I want to support you, but I just don't want to do it throughany of those methods. I do have a PayPal. There is a link downbelow, unfortunately. Obviously I can't splitthat up between everyone. It's just too hard,you know, if I'm sending moneylike that back, backand forth to the ten different peoplein my splits, it's it's not going to workso great. So what I've committed tois any money that comes through the PayPal, I send that onto developers to help encourage them to keep creatingcool products and to and in particular appapplication developers.
So yeah, that's that's thethe ways that you can supportthe show monetarily and by the value for valuephilosophy as well. And the last bit here is I suppose just like a little bitof a personal note as to why I took some timeaway. I was sayingin the last episode that I wanted to be backwithin a month. That did not happen. Obviously. It took me close to three orfour months to get back. My mom's been sick for quite a few years now. When she she was diagnosed with early onsetAlzheimer's and I thinkit was the late 2016. And I've seen thatprogress over the years.
And it is a cruel disease,Really, really cruel. It's taken her mindfrom her and it's now to the point where it's taking her bodyfrom her as well. And we got some bad newsrecently that she's probablynot going to be around with usfor too much longer. So whilst I wantto keep doing these shows and whilst I also want to travel as well and so question mark on that, there's just some questionmarks over to, to how long I'll be ableto sustain the season, especially goinglive at a particular time. Each time I think. I think that could,could be kind of hard. So if thereis an unexplained break.
Yeah, but something, something badis going wrong. So just just know thatand you know, it's just a a little message hereto, you know, appreciate your family,appreciate your friends and tell themyou love them. Tell them to you know,and this can also extend to your favourite creators because sometimesthey can go away if if they don't feel likethey're getting support, if they don't feel likethey're getting love. So just a recommendationto to be kind to people and to to yeah, just, just,you know, show some value. So showsome appreciation, show some love and lifewould be really good.
We'regoing to ended up here we heard that song right the start the intro musicfrom there from the Dolls that was from this showand their song Bloodshot Lives Blue Bloodshot Lies,which was really my introductionto value for value music. I thought that was justsuch a good song. And I went, my God. Like, there's some really, really good musiciansout here who, you know,just unappreciated. I think that is an amazingsong and I wish it got more recognition. So I'll be playing thatat the end here and I will be playing more Doorsmusic in the future. As I said, if you want a boostin this section that that very much appreciatedbecause that boost will predominantlygo to the doors everyoneincluding on their split.
So here we've got bloodshoteyes by the doors and we'll be backnext week with some exciting new valuefor value topics. So take it away.

One minute I was smiling fora picture on your phone and now I can't avoid sayingthat you're not at home. Too many closing times. Too many right away in. You know, we're fine. You can't believe in all the fieldsis that your clothes and through can't hidethe room is the person that I thought I knew. So many storylineson Singled Out decide. Whichwhat you think is true. I don't even know you now. How much? Sure you mad at me down? Because I don't knowif we really ever got to. You see you as one of us. It brings to mindto challenge me. You keep telling mehere, Jaime, all these bright,shiny loves you live your.
Life in the mirror and don't get any clearer. You find a waySee through all the broken glass. Over to all my Saturdaymornings. You use the show to brighten the minutethis morning and as the.

From the pastWe shall learn our future. And it'sfull of exciting art. It's. yes. Welcome,everyone, to the fourth season of the Valuefor Value podcast. My name is Kyrinand I am the host of The Mere Mortals,Mere Mortals Book Reviewsand also this podcast, which is for digitalcontent creators. We want to connect deeperwith the audience and don't want to do iton the normal mechanisms that you wouldperhaps do it through, you know, PayPal and Spotifyand putting up ads and all thissort of thing. No, this is for how you can directly connectwith your audience and using thisthrough the exciting new modelmethod of value for value.
So it's been a while. I'm hereon the 4th of March 2024. I did promisethat I would be back much sooner than this,and I obviously was very incorrect about thatand you hear a bit more about thatat the end of the podcast. So just stay tunedfor that. I'm going to go today as is basically kind oflike a recap episode of everything we coveredin the first three season. What's coming upfor season four? A little look at perhapssome collaborators that I'm working withfor this season, and then just some stuffat the end related to the BoostaGram Lounge. Latest developmentsin podcasting 2.0.
Why Value for value? Essentially all of thesesorts of things. So let's just jump into,I suppose, a recap. Recapand what the focus for this seasonis going to be. So season one was allabout the philosophy. So I had episodes likeThe Value of Tough Love, Why Freeze and FreeThings like This? And it was really just trying to explainnot only for the for you at home,the viewer, the listener,but for myself, what exactly makes upvalue for value? And it's inits core principles. So that's alwaysthe season. I kind of recommend forsomeone who wants to know. Just like the deeperunderlying things, Season twowas really focussed about podcastingand podcasters and how they wereimplementing value for value in their shows.
And this is where we seeit was a mix of techniques of how to ask, of implementing different strategiesof gamification, of all of thesesorts of things. And then we came onto season three and that culminatedin my book Reviews Channel where I really tried toexplain as best as I could how I was implementingeverything I'd learned from everyone else. Season three was much moreon the technical focus, so we were lookingat technical developments. I was really explaining how I thoughtthe combination of RSS, v4 V and BTC,the three acronyms worked perfectly togetherand they worked perfectly because they had a bunch of shared propertiesself-sovereign ity of being permissionlessof value transfer and permissionlessto anyone to to want to, to join access,all of these sorts of wonderful things.
So that was,I suppose I looking at technical things as well, and we started to talk a little bit about some of the excitingthings going onwith related to blogging and how it could work. And with that especially a valuefor value music, which I covered a coupleof times over there. So season four, what are we going to doin season four? Well, this is all about trying to take a historicallook at trends to see where we're going. Referencing what I said right at the startthere from the past, we shall learn our future and it's fullof exciting art. So what I have really been doing over these last three monthssince I've been away is I've been readingquite a few books and in particular onthe book Reviews channel.
I usually tend to focus on older books, on classics. So things you know from written at least20 years ago or longer. And I did do somethinga little bit different with some of the bookreviews, which I was I was readingmuch more modern book. So bookspublished within the last, you know, five, ten years. And these would be thingslike The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly of Freeby Chris Anderson, The Long Tail by ChrisAnderson Colemanis there by Lewis Hyde. And the book was By orI've forgotten his name, John B Thomson, I believe. And this was all just so I could really get an idea of what'sgoing to happen with the future of,of publishing of of contentjust in general.
So musicobviously book was that was all aboutthe e-book, the e-book and the publishingindustry, how that changed and technological trends and thingsgoing like that. And with all of thesetrends, I was just noticinga common theme occurring, which is that thingsare going to change. There's there's definitelygoing to be change. No, Spotify is not goingto stay the way it is and just be like thisfor the next 20 years, that that'snot how technology works. And I think a lot of these thingsare indicating that we're going towards a a more open future, a more a future fullof collaboration of actually usingwhat I talked about before, before the RSS andand Bitcoin and how they all mergetogether.
Now, what we're also going to be doingthis season is and distinguishingthe season as I'm going to bedoing some collaborations. So this is going to be, I suppose, a fun,exciting new thing for me. You have already hearda little bit of it right at the start there,which was some music, but I also have threepeople who I just want to to call out and say, you'll be hearing or seeing partsof their work, their voices,their their art through that throughoutthis coming season. And so the first oneI've got here is Mr. Cole McCormick, who is ahow would I describe Cole? So he does many differentthings.
He's a v4v director. So he put out what I think is one of the first films directly created withthe value for value model in mind of putting this out as a film, monetising solelythrough that of including peoplein the splits. And you can find this this short filmthat he created called Magic Mushroom Fun time on any of your podcasting appsbecause it is a video that was distributedthroughout RSS and Colehas been working with me on the BookReviews channel for about the last twoor three months and we were doingsome quotes together and I might talk aboutthis a little bit later about how the modelhas to change dependingon your audience.
And and I've found someinteresting things related to that, to theto the book reviews. But Cole has been doingsome quotes for me because whatI was finding was I was doing these book reviews and then I tryand read them out myself and I just stumble over my wordslike, I'm not that greatat sticking to the line. I haven't doneany acting classes per se, or if I have,I definitely didn't enjoy them and stuckaround with them. So he's been helping me out with that and what I'm going to get him to do and what he's agreed to dowith me is to to takesome of these book quotes from all of these booksthat I was reading, talking about the pastand how technology has changedand how it has moved certain industriesin certain directions.
And he's going to behelping me out with that. So he's going to be providingsome quotes from these books and I'm going to beusing them to form an argument of of why I think valuefor value as a future. And that is the the trendthat we're going towards just so you can geta taste of his voice. I took this one. This is one of the favourite quotesthat I got him to do, and this was from which book was The Winter of Discontentby John Steinbeck. And so here's just alittle taste of of Cole's great voiceacting abilities. And we might notget the funniness of this because it'll probably bea bit more dry and the, the content I'mgetting him to read out will be a bit not,not as intriguing as this, but nevertheless,here's a taste of it.
[00:07:50] Unknown:
What a wonderful thinga woman is. I can admire what they do, even if I don't understand why what Margieand Mary went through their pleasantlitany. What have you donewith your hair? I like it. That's your colour. You should always wear it. The harmless recognitionsignals of women. I thought ofthe most feminine story I ever heard. Two women meet, one cries. What have you donewith your hair? It looks like a wig. It is a wig. Well, you'd never know it. Maybe these are deeperresponses than we know or have any right to know.
[00:08:27] Unknown:
Thank you, Cole. Amazing. And that was amazingbook as well. I love John Stone Steinbeckas a as an author. So Cole, he also hasa podcast called America. Plus, if you want to hear moreabout him and his his drawings,his learnings of his waysof trying to find new ways of communication,that's a really great, great placeto to tune into him. And he's also findable,I guess, searchable on Twitterat Cole McCormick one. So you want to connectwith Cole, you'll you'll be hearing and hearing hima lot more over these next next couple of months. Next,we're going on to a little bit of a random one.
This is a guy called Sven,and I actually met him at one of my localBitcoin meet ups. And I remember he he had a littlepresentation where he was showingall of these really cool gifts that he was creatingand G.I.s s gifts. And you'll see this nowin your chapter artwork. If you're if you'retuning in after the fact, if you're live with me now, unfortunately,you can't do that. PerhapsI will go on YouTube at some point, just so you can seethis as well, becauseI'd be kind of fun. But inany case, I spend has created all of thesethings and I was like, man, I just, you know, how does someone like himmake money for for creating giftsfor for doing things?
Like what? And for him, it wasn't. It was just a passionproject. But I was like, you knowwhat? These are so cool. I really love artwork. I love the chapters of putting all of these senseinto podcasting 2.0 and thankfullynow my my host blueberry is up the limit for what I can includeand so I can include gifts now inin my chopped artwork. So what you'll be seeing is every now and thensome random little, you know, Bitcoin things, just to keep itinteresting, especially if I'm onthe topic of bitcoin and, and talking aboutwhy it's why it's helpful and why it's part of my value for valuephilosophy, you'll see those arepopping up so well too.
Thanks Sven,very much for doing that. He is in the splits,of course, as is Cole. And if you want to findhim, he's also searchable on Twitterat a Starfury Flames. If you if you wantto connect more with him, the final collaboration. So we've got,you know, voice acting, we've got the imageryand graphics. We're going to havesome music. Nice. So this is the doerfelswho is also helping us out. And you heard part of thevery song Bloodshot Lies, which I'm going to beusing for the intro music for for this season, because man,it pumps me up. I love that song. And so the Doerfelsfor those who don't know, are a bandbased out of Nashville, and it's a band of fivebrothers, it's hard to count five brothers,mom, dad and sister.
There'sthere's a lot of them. And they've created all of thismusic over the years. They're not an active bandat this moment, but they have this wholeback catalogue of music and Sir TJ The Wrathful TJ Doerfel He heard about all of thisexciting stuff going on with value for valueand value for value music, and he wasone of the first people to truly stop start uploading tracksand to generatea bit of interest. And in this valuefor value music of people who have created their musicand instead of, you know, they had their shotand trying to do it throughthe traditional methods of the music industry, of doing it through Spotify,and they found that it just didn'twork for them.
But they're having a kindof renaissance moment, doing it again throughvalue for value music. And so you'll see now I've also included the Dolefulas a as a split into this. We'll be talkinga little bit more later about the value of timesplits, what I can and can't doat this very moment. But nevertheless Willwill be playing some music not only justfrom The Doerfels but from other peoplethroughout this podcast, and they will beparticipating in this and helpingto collaborate with me. And if you joininto the live stream like Chad did beforeand I absolutely blasted is is that because I didn't have my levelsfully sorted out yet which they will be,do not worry.
Then you'llalso be hearing a lot of their music because I'll be playingthem in my pre stream and poststream music. So once again,thank you for the dollars if you want to find themdoleful verse dot com. I know it's the placewhere they're directing people and that's spelt D O er f e l verse.COM And then if you alsowanted to connect with t j he's so t jthe wrathful on the podcastindex Mastodon. So that is, I suppose my, my collaborationis just a little bit of what's going onfor this season and I want to get intothe boostagram Lounge now to thank some peoplefrom from the last episode becauseit has been a while and we do need to call out some peopleand give some thanks.
So Mr. Adam Curry, canyou please take it away? Welcometo the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge. Ooh, nice. Thank you, Adam, forintroducing the Boosta Gram Lounge. So this is the sectionwhere I give some call outs. Thank some peoplewho have been helping to to support the show in amonetary form, especially, which I really, really do advocate doing itthrough booster grams, which is where you cansend a message directlywithin your podcasting app and this will bein any good app. So not all of them do it. So placeslike Spotify and Apple where they do not do it,but places like True Fans, podcast, podcast gurucurio are going to breeze.
I'm trying to remember medicall off the top of my head Fountainobviously Pod friend And is there one morethat I'm forgetting? That could be. But those,those are the main ones at the very least. And you can send a messagedirectly within the app. It will comedirectly to me. It will also come directly to all the people I havein my splits, which is very cool. And this is all aboutcollaboration. So, you know, 5% I've allocated to going to too many of these podcast app developersto encourage them to keep doingwhat they're doing. I've got 15%going to call McCormack because he's creatingthis music, creating these the voiceacting clips for me on the fly each week.
So he's having to puta bit of effort in and then 10%is going to spend stuff for your flamesand 10% is also going to the doors as appreciationfor what they're doing. So this is the plan, the current set up thatI've got this read out. Basically,I'm taking your time card. So we have from November2nd, 20, 23, that's a full three monthsago 2100 set sent using fountainfrom McIntosh and he says great seasonMacintosh to Macintosh thank you very much he is the host of theSatoshis Plebs podcast. It's changed his namea couple of times. He's appeared on on this very podcastmultiple times, each time with a new name.
So yeah. Macintosh Thankyou very much, my friend. And he's going to a greatBitcoin podcast. If you want to knowmore about Muse and News and the underlyingprecepts of of Bitcoin, we have, not only is he appearing on herewith his crazy voice acting, but he'shelping support the show. We have comic, comic one,he says. Long live value for value. Onward to a new season, get rested, recalibrate the valueis all around you. 3333 sentusing fountain again. Thank you, my friend. Much much appreciated. Yes. And I did restand recalibrate. So I am feeling,you know, from feeling actually sickat this very moment.
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you man. We have from Novembersix circus media. And I I'm pretty surethis is circus as like sir and then see you assessmedia as in he's no agenda a night at the roundtable and he saysinteresting explanation in managingyour expectations as a B for the producer. One thing I thinkcame through, though not explicitly,is the idea of what you,the Creator, deserve. That is a key difference in V for you,the Creator does not determinethe product value. Very true. Thank you. So whether you wereconsistent in production or a one and done is strictlya personal decision and irrelevant to the value of receivedin return they would be wise tocontinue to.
Can you? Sorry, this is why I getcold to read out things. So stuff I'm not thoughwould be wise to continuepractising aircraft to improveand increase our exposure. One, two, 345sets sent using fountain. Thank you very much. Now what's great now is nowthat the bitcoin price has moved up tonearly 100 k Australian, it's reallyeasy in my mind to know how much peoplehave sent through. And so at this very moment,1000 sets is about a dollar for me. So that's, you know, $12.34but is sent through there. So thank you. Thank you very much,my friend. I very much appreciate it.
And yes, agreed the valuefor value model. What I kind of describe itlike I describe Bitcoin, which is on the surface,it's it's extremely simple. It's just it'sa decentralised money, an internet money,a digital money. You know, what's the what'smore simple than that? Value for value?Extremely simple. I create a product for free and distributeit out to you, and then you just return some valuein some shape and form. But then you get intothe weeds of like, okay, if I createdin this particular manner, you know,as a documentary, how do I get peopleto know that I do the valuefor value model and get them to return the valuefor what it's created and I've seen a lot of discussions about this, and I think everyonehas to go on their own individual path, which iswhat makes it hard value forvalue is is not a like you said, like a oneand done type thing.
I think even if you do that, it's that you've got to createthe you've got to create the base,the support, the expectations ofthis is how it's done. And I think that takesa long time to be honest. So doing itas a one and done like one movie and expectingvalue for value two to work monetarilyand you be rich and all those sorts of things, I don't think it reallyworks like that, but that I, you know,that's what he said. It kind of comes across. I did see Sam Sethi,who was streaming it a lot. I do see a lot of my owntest booth for this last season.
And I do see Chad,who was joining us live, and he said dolls in the preshow333 sets and using POD was and then also awe do it live another 333. So thank you very much,Chad. Much appreciate it. He's he's been sharingsome of the clips and episodes of the value for value show acrossdifferent mediums as well. So I really do appreciatethat meant that that that helps a lotand that helps a lot and will be talkingabout value for value in the waysyou can contribute back shortly right atthe end of this episode. So sorry. There was one other person who sent a messageand this was so bray.
I'm not sure I called itout on the last time, but he said V for Vis a future of all payment lightning crashes,and then he's got his his was that rock emoji and that was 3333sent using pot verse. I might have calledthat out live. If not, I didwant to talk about him shortly because he's he's doingsome interesting things which are helping outmusicians. So let's go into thissection here, which is I suppose, some of my latestdevelopments and this is just keeping you up to date withwhat's going on in the, you know, value for value world,some interesting concepts, tests, proofs, ideasthat people are working on and which are helpingcreators like myself be able to monetise andconnect with the audience at the same time.
So there's three things I wanted to talk abouthere actually for Soledad. So librariespoint in here. So first one, there's a new thingcoming out called Fountain Radio. If you go to I think it's FountainRadio dot if am, I probably shouldhave brought this up beforehand. Radio,radio dot, Fountain dot FM is whatI wanted to call that. And this is just a littlewebsite based thing they created. And it's essentiallylike a jukebox. And you can, you know, pay to have your song get put tothe top of the jukebox. They've got a chat inthere as well. It's not necessarilypeople.
They're all partsof the day. It's kind of hardto actually know. They don'thave timestamps, so you're not sure exactly, but it's worth going ontoand just playing around and you're helpingto support musicians when you're uploading your favouritesongs in there. And it's a great way tofind your music as well. So Radio Dot,Fountain, Dot FM is is a great place for you to,to find new music and to, to, tosend it back to them. The next one I had here was just a shout outto Blueberry for implementingthe value time splits. So how value time splitsfor those who don't know is whenI as a podcast creator can referenceanother piece of work and all the donations or a percentage of that, a large percentage will goto the actual creator.
And this is essentially how value for valuemusic is working. So I'm going to playa song right at the end of each episode. And what will happen is that when you'relistening to that in a post hand,the the split, instead of going,you know, 100% to the, you know, 60% to meand then 50%, 50% to call 10%to other people, what's going to happenis it will switch and I'll put it 90%to that musician with 10% then going to to me and the rest of the peoplewho are in my splits, obviously that'sreducing it down a lot. So they won't really begetting that much, which is is kind of finebecause it's it's musicthat that is being played.
Now. The cool thing forthis is it's really taking offwith music and that's why you're seeing all these value for valuemusic shows popping up. And if you go on to a place like Ellen Beats,which is a an app which you can downloadonto your desktop and I believeonto your phone, if you go to musicshows there, there's a wholebunch at the moment. I'll stilldouble to read them out. Also,I've got rolling on show radio story on BrewsterGram Ball, the side stream statsand sounds VU for the podcastIt's a mood the fairly fun show black cat music podcastmixtape wave like Martin made a music outside inwith Jemmy V Lightning thrashesby column owner so Lee Bright upbeat Home-Grown hitsPhantom power music outand before this games.
nice. I might be addingmy own little one. Probably not in the next four months,but maybe after that. I really think that wouldbe a fun thing to do. And so whatthese V for the music shows do, essentially they will play music,they'll switch the, the, the, the splitsto go to the musicians while the music playing. And then when they'retalking again like a DJ, like aa V a VF veejay, then the splits willgo back to them. So what we're going to dois unfortunately we don't have the ability to do itlive. Blueberry. It doesn't do thatat this moment. So what I will be doingis instead in post ten, I'll be doingthe Valley time split.
So if you're listeningto this after the fact and you're listeningto the music set section segment, the splits,we go into there to the musician. Now what's also cool is I'm going to do it, for example,for that little piece that call, righta red off. I'm actually going to bedoing it for my own show because that was taken from one of the bookreviews. So not only can you do itthrough music, but you can also do it through otherpieces of work. So you could do it throughspoken word, you could do itthrough audiobooks. I know there's there's some hints that some peopleare thinking of doing some some audio books or perhaps even callwho I see in the chat.
And he sent through 1111 sites and he said,We are so back. Yes, we are cool. I know he even he has been havingsome thoughts of perhapsdoing some audio books or some cartsor something like that. So you could be ableto reference not only music,but it could be, you know, your favourite poem. If someone has createdthat as a as a RSS feed and you know, it's in the public domainand things like that. So very cool is excitingstuff going on with that and you will be noticing me implementingthat as best as I can. The final oneI wanted to give a shout out to was Home who I think are doingreally cool things with just thethe hosting for podcasts.
I don't know how this guyhas got his whole set up, but basicallyif you go over to him at home, DotCole, help me out. Cole is a podhome. Dot FM. Let me quickly typein pot home dot FM. Yep. And if you go there and sign up, it'sjust a one time like a one plan fee,which I believe is 15 U.S. a month. And he's even got some promo codesand things like that. And you can createas many podcasts as you wantand put in all of these sorry, 16, 1599 a month and put in all of theseexciting things like chapterslike using value time. So it's like being ableto go live.
I know Cole McCormickdoes that with his show America Plus as well. So lots of interesting, cool thingsgoing on there. And Ithink it's just worthy shouting outthe hosts like Blueberry who are implementing thingsand and and Barry at home for implementing the tools that creatorslike myself want to use. So super, super cool. Finally there was ThunderRoad dot Media. So if you are a musicianand you're wanting to get started of using puttingyour music up online so that people can find itand so that, you know, peoplelike myself can play it, this is a great placefor you to go to because hehe basically does all of the work for you.
He he helps create it. He takes a 3% share. It's a it's a pretty goodpretty good service. I haven't used it myself. So I'm just using like from what I seefrom the outside, it looks likea pretty good service. So he's definitely doing some really cool thingsand I would recommend people would go thereand try that if you are a musician. Thunder Road DotMedia is How to to type that into your browserand find that okay,the last section here is just a little section herejust just talking about why I really encouragepeople to, to use all of the coolnew technology.
And I had a chatwith this guy called Trevor recently,and I did this on the Me Models podcast and Trevoris a pretty big v4v fan, but he's nota Bitcoin fan. And so he was just sayinglike, you know, I feel there's too muchemphasis being put on the of doing all of thesethings through Bitcoin. Like it's hard. Peopledon't understand that there's better optionsof doing it through PayPal or Patreonor things like that. And we had an interestingdiscussion. What I personally wantto do though is is like I said, this is more onthe cutting edge. This is more meexperimenting with new tools, newtechniques, new tactics with the new technology.
And I think it justhas some very, very superior benefitsthat whilst are difficult, they're difficult. Like the Internet wasdifficult back in 1995. They're difficult likethe social media platforms were in, you know, 2008. It takes time to get usedto these things. It takes timeto test them out. And for a relativenewcomer to to come in to them, I can say in the lastthree years they've gotten much,much better. Sending a boosthas never been easier. Getting some Bitcoinand Lightning Network has never been easier. It's still hard, there's no doubt.
It's still it's still a little bit hard, butit is getting easier and the thing is, it just enablesso many more cool things. The splits,it's programmable money. I think it's just a like it is a revolutionarything to to be able to use And so that's why advocatesadvocate for it so hard. And this is nothing to dowith Bitcoin itself in termsof whether you think it's a good investmentor anything like that. No, this is just mesaying like, I encourage youto use these things because I think they aregoing to be the future and I think it is worthwhile playing aroundwith them now and being able to connectwith with your favourite creator,or if you're a creator, being able to connectwith your audience because it'snot just about the money, it is aboutthe whole value for value, respect the whole valuefor value philosophy.
So that gets me on tomy last little thing here. Time, talent and treasure. This is how you can helpsupport this value for valueShow time Sharing this episodewith a digital creator. It would be amazingbecause this is the type of peoplewho I really want to try and direct this towardsso that they can know whether they bea musician, whether they be a digitalartist like like Sven is, whether they be a voiceactor, whether, you know,whatever their art is, whatever it is that they're creatingand that can be distributedin a physical medium, sorry,in a digital medium.
I think this this kind of philosophy can can reach outto everyone and this is whyI think we'll start to see a lot more collaboration happening in this nextyear, especially of people like myself and otherswho are trying to get other peopleinterested in working togetherand creating new things. And I hope this podcastepisode does that. I hope the digital artthat's that'sappearing on your screen from time to time, thatCarl's voice acting, that the music I play, I hope that all of that creates a new product that is interestingand exciting. So definitely share this episodewith the digital creator.
You can come join me live. I will for the next month,be going live at 10 a.m. Australian EasternStandard Time, which is UTC on aon a monday, which is UTC zeromidnight. So wherever you arein the world, if your time zone isplus three, then it will be at 3amiexpect you to join me. No, I mean it would begreat if you did, but that that's probably the easiest way ofof figuring. You're figuring outwhat exactly time I am. I do put a live pendingnotification. So if you are in any ofthe podcast apps like pop verse and podcast guru and Fountain and Truefans, you will see that there isa live notification or a pending statusfor this podcast.
So that'sprobably the best way that you'll be able to seewhen actually it is that I'm goinglive talent. I want to know,is there anything I can do to make this show better?What annoys you? What resources are similar to the iOS appoverlap of these? I've already mentionedbooks and technology. If you think there'sany books that I would findintriguing that would be helpfulto cover on this next valuefor value season. I would love love for youto recommend one of those. Obviously I'd say yesand send it in via boost. But if you don'twant to do that, I understandI've had people send messages to mevia Facebook.
I had a really nice onerecently on them via Facebookfor the book reviews, which is blew me away. It was ait was a fantastic message from someone who really,really helped me out and knowing whathe enjoyed, what he didn't enjoy aboutthe the podcast episode. So you can alsoreach out there if you're uncomfortable using the best gramsand things like that. The last recommendationtreasure. I said, Well, obviouslyyou got a couple options available for you. I recommend usingany of the podcast apps. If you go to mea modest podcast dot com slash support, I've got a tutorial guidethere on on what they look like,how to use them as well as some linksfor my other main shows the mere mortals.
There's also youcan also do it directly through the podcast index websitethat supports the splits. If none of those are interesting to youand you like and I want to support you, but I just don't want to do it throughany of those methods. I do have a PayPal. There is a link downbelow, unfortunately. Obviously I can't splitthat up between everyone. It's just too hard,you know, if I'm sending moneylike that back, backand forth to the ten different peoplein my splits, it's it's not going to workso great. So what I've committed tois any money that comes through the PayPal, I send that onto developers to help encourage them to keep creatingcool products and to and in particular appapplication developers.
So yeah, that's that's thethe ways that you can supportthe show monetarily and by the value for valuephilosophy as well. And the last bit here is I suppose just like a little bitof a personal note as to why I took some timeaway. I was sayingin the last episode that I wanted to be backwithin a month. That did not happen. Obviously. It took me close to three orfour months to get back. My mom's been sick for quite a few years now. When she she was diagnosed with early onsetAlzheimer's and I thinkit was the late 2016. And I've seen thatprogress over the years.
And it is a cruel disease,Really, really cruel. It's taken her mindfrom her and it's now to the point where it's taking her bodyfrom her as well. And we got some bad newsrecently that she's probablynot going to be around with usfor too much longer. So whilst I wantto keep doing these shows and whilst I also want to travel as well and so question mark on that, there's just some questionmarks over to, to how long I'll be ableto sustain the season, especially goinglive at a particular time. Each time I think. I think that could,could be kind of hard. So if thereis an unexplained break.
Yeah, but something, something badis going wrong. So just just know thatand you know, it's just a a little message hereto, you know, appreciate your family,appreciate your friends and tell themyou love them. Tell them to you know,and this can also extend to your favourite creators because sometimesthey can go away if if they don't feel likethey're getting support, if they don't feel likethey're getting love. So just a recommendationto to be kind to people and to to yeah, just, just,you know, show some value. So showsome appreciation, show some love and lifewould be really good.
We'regoing to ended up here we heard that song right the start the intro musicfrom there from the Dolls that was from this showand their song Bloodshot Lives Blue Bloodshot Lies,which was really my introductionto value for value music. I thought that was justsuch a good song. And I went, my God. Like, there's some really, really good musiciansout here who, you know,just unappreciated. I think that is an amazingsong and I wish it got more recognition. So I'll be playing thatat the end here and I will be playing more Doorsmusic in the future. As I said, if you want a boostin this section that that very much appreciatedbecause that boost will predominantlygo to the doors everyoneincluding on their split.
So here we've got bloodshoteyes by the doors and we'll be backnext week with some exciting new valuefor value topics. So take it away.
