From the past We shall learn our future. And it's full of exciting art. It's. yes. Welcome, everyone, to the fourth season of the Value for Value podcast. My name is Kyrin and I am the host of The Mere Mortals, Mere Mortals Book Reviews and also this podcast, which is for digital content creators. We want to connect deeper with the audience and don't want to do it on the normal mechanisms that you would perhaps do it through, you know, PayPal and Spotify and putting up ads and all this sort of thing. No, this is for how you can directly connect with your audience and using this through the exciting new model method of value for value.
So it's been a while. I'm here on the 4th of March 2024. I did promise that I would be back much sooner than this, and I obviously was very incorrect about that and you hear a bit more about that at the end of the podcast. So just stay tuned for that. I'm going to go today as is basically kind of like a recap episode of everything we covered in the first three season. What's coming up for season four? A little look at perhaps some collaborators that I'm working with for this season, and then just some stuff at the end related to the Boosta Gram Lounge.
Latest developments in podcasting 2.0. Why Value for value? Essentially all of these sorts of things. So let's just jump into, I suppose, a recap. Recap and what the focus for this season is going to be. So season one was all about the philosophy. So I had episodes like The Value of Tough Love, Why Freeze and Free Things like This? And it was really just trying to explain not only for the for you at home, the viewer, the listener, but for myself, what exactly makes up value for value? And it's in its core principles. So that's always the season.
I kind of recommend for someone who wants to know. Just like the deeper underlying things, Season two was really focussed about podcasting and podcasters and how they were implementing value for value in their shows. And this is where we see it was a mix of techniques of how to ask, of implementing different strategies of gamification, of all of these sorts of things. And then we came on to season three and that culminated in my book Reviews Channel where I really tried to explain as best as I could how I was implementing everything I'd learned from everyone else.
Season three was much more on the technical focus, so we were looking at technical developments. I was really explaining how I thought the combination of RSS, v4 V and BTC, the three acronyms worked perfectly together and they worked perfectly because they had a bunch of shared properties self-sovereign ity of being permissionless of value transfer and permissionless to 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 exciting things going on with related to blogging and how it could work.
And with that especially a value for value music, which I covered a couple of times over there. So season four, what are we going to do in season four? Well, this is all about trying to take a historical look at trends to see where we're going. Referencing what I said right at the start there from the past, we shall learn our future and it's full of exciting art. So what I have really been doing over these last three months since I've been away is I've been reading quite a few books and in particular on the book Reviews channel. I usually tend to focus on older books, on classics.
So things you know from written at least 20 years ago or longer. And I did do something a little bit different with some of the book reviews, which I was I was reading much more modern book. So books published within the last, you know, five, ten years. And these would be things like The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly of Free by Chris Anderson, The Long Tail by Chris Anderson Coleman is there by Lewis Hyde. And the book was By or I've forgotten his name, John B Thomson, I believe. And this was all just so I could really get an idea of what's going to happen with the future of, of publishing of of content just in general.
So music obviously book was that was all about the e-book, the e-book and the publishing industry, how that changed and technological trends and things going like that. And with all of these trends, I was just noticing a common theme occurring, which is that things are going to change. There's there's definitely going to be change. No, Spotify is not going to stay the way it is and just be like this for the next 20 years, that that's not how technology works. And I think a lot of these things are indicating that we're going towards a a more open future, a more a future full of collaboration of actually using what I talked about before, before the RSS and and Bitcoin and how they all merge together.
Now, what we're also going to be doing this season is and distinguishing the season as I'm going to be doing some collaborations. So this is going to be, I suppose, a fun, exciting new thing for me. You have already heard a little bit of it right at the start there, which was some music, but I also have three people who I just want to to call out and say, you'll be hearing or seeing parts of their work, their voices, their their art through that throughout this coming season. And so the first one I've got here is Mr. Cole McCormick, who is a how would I describe Cole?
So he does many different things. He's a v4v director. So he put out what I think is one of the first films directly created with the value for value model in mind of putting this out as a film, monetising solely through that of including people in the splits. And you can find this this short film that he created called Magic Mushroom Fun time on any of your podcasting apps because it is a video that was distributed throughout RSS and Cole has been working with me on the Book Reviews channel for about the last two or three months and we were doing some quotes together and I might talk about this a little bit later about how the model has to change depending on your audience.
And and I've found some interesting things related to that, to the to the book reviews. But Cole has been doing some quotes for me because what I was finding was I was doing these book reviews and then I try and read them out myself and I just stumble over my words like, I'm not that great at sticking to the line. I haven't done any acting classes per se, or if I have, I definitely didn't enjoy them and stuck around 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 do with me is to to take some of these book quotes from all of these books that I was reading, talking about the past and how technology has changed and how it has moved certain industries in certain directions.
And he's going to be helping me out with that. So he's going to be providing some quotes from these books and I'm going to be using them to form an argument of of why I think value for value as a future. And that is the the trend that we're going towards just so you can get a taste of his voice. I took this one. This is one of the favourite quotes that I got him to do, and this was from which book was The Winter of Discontent by John Steinbeck. And so here's just a little taste of of Cole's great voice acting abilities. And we might not get the funniness of this because it'll probably be a bit more dry and the, the content I'm getting 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 thing a woman is. I can admire what they do, even if I don't understand why what Margie and Mary went through their pleasant litany. What have you done with your hair? I like it. That's your colour. You should always wear it. The harmless recognition signals of women. I thought of the most feminine story I ever heard. Two women meet, one cries. What have you done with your hair? It looks like a wig. It is a wig. Well, you'd never know it. Maybe these are deeper responses than we know or have any right to know.
[00:08:27] Unknown:
Thank you, Cole. Amazing. And that was amazing book as well. I love John Stone Steinbeck as a as an author. So Cole, he also has a podcast called America. Plus, if you want to hear more about him and his his drawings, his learnings of his ways of trying to find new ways of communication, that's a really great, great place to to tune into him. And he's also findable, I guess, searchable on Twitter at Cole McCormick one. So you want to connect with Cole, you'll you'll be hearing and hearing him a 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 local Bitcoin meet ups. And I remember he he had a little presentation where he was showing all of these really cool gifts that he was creating and G.I.s s gifts. And you'll see this now in your chapter artwork. If you're if you're tuning in after the fact, if you're live with me now, unfortunately, you can't do that. Perhaps I will go on YouTube at some point, just so you can see this as well, because I'd be kind of fun. But in any case, I spend has created all of these things and I was like, man, I just, you know, how does someone like him make money for for creating gifts for for doing things?
Like what? And for him, it wasn't. It was just a passion project. But I was like, you know what? These are so cool. I really love artwork. I love the chapters of putting all of these sense into podcasting 2.0 and thankfully now my my host blueberry is up the limit for what I can include and so I can include gifts now in in my chopped artwork. So what you'll be seeing is every now and then some random little, you know, Bitcoin things, just to keep it interesting, especially if I'm on the topic of bitcoin and, and talking about why it's why it's helpful and why it's part of my value for value philosophy, you'll see those are popping 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 find him, he's also searchable on Twitter at a Starfury Flames. If you if you want to connect more with him, the final collaboration. So we've got, you know, voice acting, we've got the imagery and graphics. We're going to have some music. Nice. So this is the doerfels who is also helping us out. And you heard part of the very song Bloodshot Lies, which I'm going to be using for the intro music for for this season, because man, it pumps me up.
I love that song. And so the Doerfels for those who don't know, are a band based out of Nashville, and it's a band of five brothers, it's hard to count five brothers, mom, dad and sister. There's there's a lot of them. And they've created all of this music over the years. They're not an active band at this moment, but they have this whole back catalogue of music and Sir TJ The Wrathful TJ Doerfel He heard about all of this exciting stuff going on with value for value and value for value music, and he was one of the first people to truly stop start uploading tracks and to generate a bit of interest.
And in this value for value music of people who have created their music and instead of, you know, they had their shot and trying to do it through the traditional methods of the music industry, of doing it through Spotify, and they found that it just didn't work for them. But they're having a kind of renaissance moment, doing it again through value for value music. And so you'll see now I've also included the Doleful as a as a split into this. We'll be talking a little bit more later about the value of time splits, what I can and can't do at this very moment.
But nevertheless Will will be playing some music not only just from The Doerfels but from other people throughout this podcast, and they will be participating in this and helping to collaborate with me. And if you join into the live stream like Chad did before and I absolutely blasted is is that because I didn't have my levels fully sorted out yet which they will be, do not worry. Then you'll also be hearing a lot of their music because I'll be playing them in my pre stream and post stream music. So once again, thank you for the dollars if you want to find them doleful verse dot com.
I know it's the place where they're directing people and that's spelt D O e r f e l verse.COM And then if you also wanted to connect with t j he's so t j the wrathful on the podcast index Mastodon. So that is, I suppose my, my collaboration is just a little bit of what's going on for this season and I want to get into the boostagram Lounge now to thank some people from from the last episode because it has been a while and we do need to call out some people and give some thanks. So Mr. Adam Curry, can you please take it away? Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge.
Ooh, nice. Thank you, Adam, for introducing the Boosta Gram Lounge. So this is the section where I give some call outs. Thank some people who have been helping to to support the show in a monetary form, especially, which I really, really do advocate doing it through booster grams, which is where you can send a message directly within your podcasting app and this will be in any good app. So not all of them do it. So places like Spotify and Apple where they do not do it, but places like True Fans, podcast, podcast guru curio are going to breeze. I'm trying to remember medic all off the top of my head Fountain obviously Pod friend And is there one more that I'm forgetting?
That could be. But those, those are the main ones at the very least. And you can send a message directly within the app. It will come directly to me. It will also come directly to all the people I have in my splits, which is very cool. And this is all about collaboration. So, you know, 5% I've allocated to going to too many of these podcast app developers to encourage them to keep doing what they're doing. I've got 15% going to call McCormack because he's creating this music, creating these the voice acting clips for me on the fly each week.
So he's having to put a bit of effort in and then 10% is going to spend stuff for your flames and 10% is also going to the doors as appreciation for what they're doing. So this is the plan, the current set up that I've got this read out. Basically, I'm taking your time card. So we have from November 2nd, 20, 23, that's a full three months ago 2100 set sent using fountain from McIntosh and he says great season Macintosh to Macintosh thank you very much he is the host of the Satoshis Plebs podcast. It's changed his name a couple of times. He's appeared on on this very podcast multiple times, each time with a new name.
So yeah. Macintosh Thank you very much, my friend. And he's going to a great Bitcoin podcast. If you want to know more about Muse and News and the underlying precepts of of Bitcoin, we have, not only is he appearing on here with his crazy voice acting, but he's helping support the show. We have comic, comic one, he says. Long live value for value. Onward to a new season, get rested, recalibrate the value is all around you. 3333 sent using fountain again. Thank you, my friend. Much much appreciated. Yes. And I did rest and recalibrate. So I am feeling, you know, from feeling actually sick at this very moment.
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you man. We have from November six circus media. And I I'm pretty sure this is circus as like sir and then see you assess media as in he's no agenda a night at the roundtable and he says interesting explanation in managing your expectations as a B for the producer. One thing I think came 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 determine the product value. Very true. Thank you. So whether you were consistent in production or a one and done is strictly a personal decision and irrelevant to the value of received in return they would be wise to continue to.
Can you? Sorry, this is why I get cold to read out things. So stuff I'm not though would be wise to continue practising aircraft to improve and increase our exposure. One, two, 345 sets sent using fountain. Thank you very much. Now what's great now is now that the bitcoin price has moved up to nearly 100 k Australian, it's really easy in my mind to know how much people have sent through. And so at this very moment, 1000 sets is about a dollar for me. So that's, you know, $12.34 but is sent through there. So thank you. Thank you very much, my friend.
I very much appreciate it. And yes, agreed the value for value model. What I kind of describe it like I describe Bitcoin, which is on the surface, it's it's extremely simple. It's just it's a decentralised money, an internet money, a digital money. You know, what's the what's more simple than that? Value for value? Extremely simple. I create a product for free and distribute it out to you, and then you just return some value in some shape and form. But then you get into the weeds of like, okay, if I created in this particular manner, you know, as a documentary, how do I get people to know that I do the value for value model and get them to return the value for what it's created and I've seen a lot of discussions about this, and I think everyone has to go on their own individual path, which is what makes it hard value for value is is not a like you said, like a one and done type thing.
I think even if you do that, it's that you've got to create the you've got to create the base, the support, the expectations of this is how it's done. And I think that takes a long time to be honest. So doing it as a one and done like one movie and expecting value for value two to work monetarily and you be rich and all those sorts of things, I don't think it really works 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 own test booth for this last season.
And I do see Chad, who was joining us live, and he said dolls in the preshow 333 sets and using POD was and then also a we do it live another 333. So thank you very much, Chad. Much appreciate it. He's he's been sharing some of the clips and episodes of the value for value show across different mediums as well. So I really do appreciate that meant that that that helps a lot and that helps a lot and will be talking about value for value in the ways you can contribute back shortly right at the end of this episode. So sorry.
There was one other person who sent a message and this was so bray. I'm not sure I called it out on the last time, but he said V for V is a future of all payment lightning crashes, and then he's got his his was that rock emoji and that was 3333 sent using pot verse. I might have called that out live. If not, I did want to talk about him shortly because he's he's doing some interesting things which are helping out musicians. So let's go into this section here, which is I suppose, some of my latest developments and this is just keeping you up to date with what's going on in the, you know, value for value world, some interesting concepts, tests, proofs, ideas that people are working on and which are helping creators like myself be able to monetise and connect with the audience at the same time.
So there's three things I wanted to talk about here actually for Soledad. So libraries point in here. So first one, there's a new thing coming out called Fountain Radio. If you go to I think it's Fountain Radio dot if am, I probably should have brought this up beforehand. Radio, radio dot, Fountain dot FM is what I wanted to call that. And this is just a little website based thing they created. And it's essentially like a jukebox. And you can, you know, pay to have your song get put to the top of the jukebox. They've got a chat in there as well. It's not necessarily people.
They're all parts of the day. It's kind of hard to actually know. They don't have timestamps, so you're not sure exactly, but it's worth going onto and just playing around and you're helping to support musicians when you're uploading your favourite songs in there. And it's a great way to find 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, to send it back to them. The next one I had here was just a shout out to Blueberry for implementing the value time splits. So how value time splits for those who don't know is when I as a podcast creator can reference another piece of work and all the donations or a percentage of that, a large percentage will go to the actual creator.
And this is essentially how value for value music is working. So I'm going to play a song right at the end of each episode. And what will happen is that when you're listening to that in a post hand, the the split, instead of going, you know, 100% to the, you know, 60% to me and then 50%, 50% to call 10% to other people, what's going to happen is it will switch and I'll put it 90% to that musician with 10% then going to to me and the rest of the people who are in my splits, obviously that's reducing it down a lot. So they won't really be getting that much, which is is kind of fine because it's it's music that that is being played.
Now. The cool thing for this is it's really taking off with music and that's why you're seeing all these value for value music shows popping up. And if you go on to a place like Ellen Beats, which is a an app which you can download onto your desktop and I believe onto your phone, if you go to music shows there, there's a whole bunch at the moment. I'll still double to read them out. Also, I've got rolling on show radio story on Brewster Gram Ball, the side stream stats and sounds VU for the podcast It's a mood the fairly fun show black cat music podcast mixtape wave like Martin made a music outside in with Jemmy V Lightning thrashes by column owner so Lee Bright upbeat Home-Grown hits Phantom power music out and before this games.
nice. I might be adding my own little one. Probably not in the next four months, but maybe after that. I really think that would be a fun thing to do. And so what these V for the music shows do, essentially they will play music, they'll switch the, the, the, the splits to go to the musicians while the music playing. And then when they're talking again like a DJ, like a a V a VF veejay, then the splits will go back to them. So what we're going to do is unfortunately we don't have the ability to do it live. Blueberry. It doesn't do that at this moment.
So what I will be doing is instead in post ten, I'll be doing the Valley time split. So if you're listening to this after the fact and you're listening to 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, right a red off. I'm actually going to be doing it for my own show because that was taken from one of the book reviews. So not only can you do it through music, but you can also do it through other pieces of work. So you could do it through spoken word, you could do it through audiobooks.
I know there's there's some hints that some people are thinking of doing some some audio books or perhaps even call who 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 having some thoughts of perhaps doing some audio books or some carts or something like that. So you could be able to reference not only music, but it could be, you know, your favourite poem. If someone has created that as a as a RSS feed and you know, it's in the public domain and things like that. So very cool is exciting stuff going on with that and you will be noticing me implementing that as best as I can.
The final one I wanted to give a shout out to was Home who I think are doing really cool things with just the the hosting for podcasts. I don't know how this guy has got his whole set up, but basically if you go over to him at home, Dot Cole, help me out. Cole is a pod home. Dot FM. Let me quickly type in pot home dot FM. Yep. And if you go there and sign up, it's just a one time like a one plan fee, which I believe is 15 U.S. a month. And he's even got some promo codes and things like that. And you can create as many podcasts as you want and put in all of these sorry, 16, 1599 a month and put in all of these exciting things like chapters like using value time.
So it's like being able to go live. I know Cole McCormick does that with his show America Plus as well. So lots of interesting, cool things going on there. And I think it's just worthy shouting out the hosts like Blueberry who are implementing things and and and Barry at home for implementing the tools that creators like myself want to use. So super, super cool. Finally there was Thunder Road dot Media. So if you are a musician and you're wanting to get started of using putting your music up online so that people can find it and so that, you know, people like myself can play it, this is a great place for you to go to because he he 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 good pretty good service. I haven't used it myself. So I'm just using like from what I see from the outside, it looks like a pretty good service. So he's definitely doing some really cool things and I would recommend people would go there and try that if you are a musician. Thunder Road Dot Media is How to to type that into your browser and find that okay, the last section here is just a little section here just just talking about why I really encourage people to, to use all of the cool new technology.
And I had a chat with this guy called Trevor recently, and I did this on the Me Models podcast and Trevor is a pretty big v4v fan, but he's not a Bitcoin fan. And so he was just saying like, you know, I feel there's too much emphasis being put on the of doing all of these things through Bitcoin. Like it's hard. People don't understand that there's better options of doing it through PayPal or Patreon or things like that. And we had an interesting discussion. What I personally want to do though is is like I said, this is more on the cutting edge. This is more me experimenting with new tools, new techniques, new tactics with the new technology.
And I think it just has some very, very superior benefits that whilst are difficult, they're difficult. Like the Internet was difficult back in 1995. They're difficult like the social media platforms were in, you know, 2008. It takes time to get used to these things. It takes time to test them out. And for a relative newcomer to to come in to them, I can say in the last three years they've gotten much, much better. Sending a boost has never been easier. Getting some Bitcoin and Lightning Network has never been easier. It's still hard, there's no doubt.
It's still it's still a little bit hard, but it is getting easier and the thing is, it just enables so many more cool things. The splits, it's programmable money. I think it's just a like it is a revolutionary thing to to be able to use And so that's why advocates advocate for it so hard. And this is nothing to do with Bitcoin itself in terms of whether you think it's a good investment or anything like that. No, this is just me saying like, I encourage you to use these things because I think they are going to be the future and I think it is worthwhile playing around with them now and being able to connect with with your favourite creator, or if you're a creator, being able to connect with your audience because it's not just about the money, it is about the whole value for value, respect the whole value for value philosophy.
So that gets me on to my last little thing here. Time, talent and treasure. This is how you can help support this value for value Show time Sharing this episode with a digital creator. It would be amazing because this is the type of people who I really want to try and direct this towards so that they can know whether they be a musician, whether they be a digital artist like like Sven is, whether they be a voice actor, whether, you know, whatever their art is, whatever it is that they're creating and that can be distributed in a physical medium, sorry, in a digital medium.
I think this this kind of philosophy can can reach out to everyone and this is why I think we'll start to see a lot more collaboration happening in this next year, especially of people like myself and others who are trying to get other people interested in working together and creating new things. And I hope this podcast episode does that. I hope the digital art that's that's appearing on your screen from time to time, that Carl's voice acting, that the music I play, I hope that all of that creates a new product that is interesting and exciting.
So definitely share this episode with the digital creator. You can come join me live. I will for the next month, be going live at 10 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is UTC on a on a monday, which is UTC zero midnight. So wherever you are in the world, if your time zone is plus three, then it will be at 3ami expect you to join me. No, I mean it would be great if you did, but that that's probably the easiest way of of figuring. You're figuring out what exactly time I am. I do put a live pending notification. So if you are in any of the podcast apps like pop verse and podcast guru and Fountain and True fans, you will see that there is a live notification or a pending status for this podcast.
So that's probably the best way that you'll be able to see when actually it is that I'm going live 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 app overlap of these? I've already mentioned books and technology. If you think there's any books that I would find intriguing that would be helpful to cover on this next value for value season. I would love love for you to recommend one of those. Obviously I'd say yes and send it in via boost. But if you don't want to do that, I understand I've had people send messages to me via Facebook.
I had a really nice one recently on them via Facebook for the book reviews, which is blew me away. It was a it was a fantastic message from someone who really, really helped me out and knowing what he enjoyed, what he didn't enjoy about the the podcast episode. So you can also reach out there if you're uncomfortable using the best grams and things like that. The last recommendation treasure. I said, Well, obviously you got a couple options available for you. I recommend using any of the podcast apps. If you go to me a modest podcast dot com slash support, I've got a tutorial guide there on on what they look like, how to use them as well as some links for my other main shows the mere mortals.
There's also you can also do it directly through the podcast index website that supports the splits. If none of those are interesting to you and you like and I want to support you, but I just don't want to do it through any of those methods. I do have a PayPal. There is a link down below, unfortunately. Obviously I can't split that up between everyone. It's just too hard, you know, if I'm sending money like that back, back and forth to the ten different people in my splits, it's it's not going to work so great. So what I've committed to is any money that comes through the PayPal, I send that on to developers to help encourage them to keep creating cool products and to and in particular app application developers.
So yeah, that's that's the the ways that you can support the show monetarily and by the value for value philosophy as well. And the last bit here is I suppose just like a little bit of a personal note as to why I took some time away. I was saying in the last episode that I wanted to be back within a month. That did not happen. Obviously. It took me close to three or four months to get back. My mom's been sick for quite a few years now. When she she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's and I think it was the late 2016. And I've seen that progress over the years.
And it is a cruel disease, Really, really cruel. It's taken her mind from her and it's now to the point where it's taking her body from her as well. And we got some bad news recently that she's probably not going to be around with us for too much longer. So whilst I want to keep doing these shows and whilst I also want to travel as well and so question mark on that, there's just some question marks over to, to how long I'll be able to sustain the season, especially going live at a particular time. Each time I think. I think that could, could be kind of hard. So if there is an unexplained break.
Yeah, but something, something bad is going wrong. So just just know that and you know, it's just a a little message here to, you know, appreciate your family, appreciate your friends and tell them you love them. Tell them to you know, and this can also extend to your favourite creators because sometimes they can go away if if they don't feel like they're getting support, if they don't feel like they're getting love. So just a recommendation to to be kind to people and to to yeah, just, just, you know, show some value. So show some appreciation, show some love and life would be really good.
We're going to ended up here we heard that song right the start the intro music from there from the Dolls that was from this show and their song Bloodshot Lives Blue Bloodshot Lies, which was really my introduction to value for value music. I thought that was just such a good song. And I went, my God. Like, there's some really, really good musicians out here who, you know, just unappreciated. I think that is an amazing song and I wish it got more recognition. So I'll be playing that at the end here and I will be playing more Doors music in the future. As I said, if you want a boost in this section that that very much appreciated because that boost will predominantly go to the doors everyone including on their split.
So here we've got bloodshot eyes by the doors and we'll be back next week with some exciting new value for value topics. So take it away.
[00:36:49] Unknown:
One minute I was smiling for a picture on your phone and now I can't avoid saying that 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 fields is that your clothes and through can't hide the room is the person that I thought I knew. So many storylines on Singled Out decide. Which what you think is true. I don't even know you now. How much? Sure you mad at me down? Because I don't know if we really ever got to. You see you as one of us. It brings to mind to challenge me. You keep telling me here, Jaime, all these bright, shiny loves you live your.
Life in the mirror and don't get any clearer. You find a way See through all the broken glass. Over to all my Saturday mornings. You use the show to brighten the minute this morning and as the. Stars move by it, it was just you. Guys. But I don't even know. You know, I'm not sure you many down because I don't know if we really have a job that kind of you to your sleep to eyes were replaced the goodbyes you keep silently you keep telling me you got me a spy shot like my son From the situation down here, you saw so many guys I You believe it needs to choose to be what you are.
That's my boy. That's my boy. That's me. But I don't even know you now. How much are you? Bad me down three times. I don't know if we really ever got that kind of how seriously to eyes. I wonder why did Will's goodbyes. You've been shouting and you keep telling me. You tell me. he's right. Shot Lyles.
From the past We shall learn our future. And it's full of exciting art. It's. yes. Welcome, everyone, to the fourth season of the Value for Value podcast. My name is Kyrin and I am the host of The Mere Mortals, Mere Mortals Book Reviews and also this podcast, which is for digital content creators. We want to connect deeper with the audience and don't want to do it on the normal mechanisms that you would perhaps do it through, you know, PayPal and Spotify and putting up ads and all this sort of thing. No, this is for how you can directly connect with your audience and using this through the exciting new model method of value for value.
So it's been a while. I'm here on the 4th of March 2024. I did promise that I would be back much sooner than this, and I obviously was very incorrect about that and you hear a bit more about that at the end of the podcast. So just stay tuned for that. I'm going to go today as is basically kind of like a recap episode of everything we covered in the first three season. What's coming up for season four? A little look at perhaps some collaborators that I'm working with for this season, and then just some stuff at the end related to the Boosta Gram Lounge.
Latest developments in podcasting 2.0. Why Value for value? Essentially all of these sorts of things. So let's just jump into, I suppose, a recap. Recap and what the focus for this season is going to be. So season one was all about the philosophy. So I had episodes like The Value of Tough Love, Why Freeze and Free Things like This? And it was really just trying to explain not only for the for you at home, the viewer, the listener, but for myself, what exactly makes up value for value? And it's in its core principles. So that's always the season.
I kind of recommend for someone who wants to know. Just like the deeper underlying things, Season two was really focussed about podcasting and podcasters and how they were implementing value for value in their shows. And this is where we see it was a mix of techniques of how to ask, of implementing different strategies of gamification, of all of these sorts of things. And then we came on to season three and that culminated in my book Reviews Channel where I really tried to explain as best as I could how I was implementing everything I'd learned from everyone else.
Season three was much more on the technical focus, so we were looking at technical developments. I was really explaining how I thought the combination of RSS, v4 V and BTC, the three acronyms worked perfectly together and they worked perfectly because they had a bunch of shared properties self-sovereign ity of being permissionless of value transfer and permissionless to 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 exciting things going on with related to blogging and how it could work.
And with that especially a value for value music, which I covered a couple of times over there. So season four, what are we going to do in season four? Well, this is all about trying to take a historical look at trends to see where we're going. Referencing what I said right at the start there from the past, we shall learn our future and it's full of exciting art. So what I have really been doing over these last three months since I've been away is I've been reading quite a few books and in particular on the book Reviews channel. I usually tend to focus on older books, on classics.
So things you know from written at least 20 years ago or longer. And I did do something a little bit different with some of the book reviews, which I was I was reading much more modern book. So books published within the last, you know, five, ten years. And these would be things like The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly of Free by Chris Anderson, The Long Tail by Chris Anderson Coleman is there by Lewis Hyde. And the book was By or I've forgotten his name, John B Thomson, I believe. And this was all just so I could really get an idea of what's going to happen with the future of, of publishing of of content just in general.
So music obviously book was that was all about the e-book, the e-book and the publishing industry, how that changed and technological trends and things going like that. And with all of these trends, I was just noticing a common theme occurring, which is that things are going to change. There's there's definitely going to be change. No, Spotify is not going to stay the way it is and just be like this for the next 20 years, that that's not how technology works. And I think a lot of these things are indicating that we're going towards a a more open future, a more a future full of collaboration of actually using what I talked about before, before the RSS and and Bitcoin and how they all merge together.
Now, what we're also going to be doing this season is and distinguishing the season as I'm going to be doing some collaborations. So this is going to be, I suppose, a fun, exciting new thing for me. You have already heard a little bit of it right at the start there, which was some music, but I also have three people who I just want to to call out and say, you'll be hearing or seeing parts of their work, their voices, their their art through that throughout this coming season. And so the first one I've got here is Mr. Cole McCormick, who is a how would I describe Cole?
So he does many different things. He's a v4v director. So he put out what I think is one of the first films directly created with the value for value model in mind of putting this out as a film, monetising solely through that of including people in the splits. And you can find this this short film that he created called Magic Mushroom Fun time on any of your podcasting apps because it is a video that was distributed throughout RSS and Cole has been working with me on the Book Reviews channel for about the last two or three months and we were doing some quotes together and I might talk about this a little bit later about how the model has to change depending on your audience.
And and I've found some interesting things related to that, to the to the book reviews. But Cole has been doing some quotes for me because what I was finding was I was doing these book reviews and then I try and read them out myself and I just stumble over my words like, I'm not that great at sticking to the line. I haven't done any acting classes per se, or if I have, I definitely didn't enjoy them and stuck around 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 do with me is to to take some of these book quotes from all of these books that I was reading, talking about the past and how technology has changed and how it has moved certain industries in certain directions.
And he's going to be helping me out with that. So he's going to be providing some quotes from these books and I'm going to be using them to form an argument of of why I think value for value as a future. And that is the the trend that we're going towards just so you can get a taste of his voice. I took this one. This is one of the favourite quotes that I got him to do, and this was from which book was The Winter of Discontent by John Steinbeck. And so here's just a little taste of of Cole's great voice acting abilities. And we might not get the funniness of this because it'll probably be a bit more dry and the, the content I'm getting 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 thing a woman is. I can admire what they do, even if I don't understand why what Margie and Mary went through their pleasant litany. What have you done with your hair? I like it. That's your colour. You should always wear it. The harmless recognition signals of women. I thought of the most feminine story I ever heard. Two women meet, one cries. What have you done with your hair? It looks like a wig. It is a wig. Well, you'd never know it. Maybe these are deeper responses than we know or have any right to know.
[00:08:27] Unknown:
Thank you, Cole. Amazing. And that was amazing book as well. I love John Stone Steinbeck as a as an author. So Cole, he also has a podcast called America. Plus, if you want to hear more about him and his his drawings, his learnings of his ways of trying to find new ways of communication, that's a really great, great place to to tune into him. And he's also findable, I guess, searchable on Twitter at Cole McCormick one. So you want to connect with Cole, you'll you'll be hearing and hearing him a 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 local Bitcoin meet ups. And I remember he he had a little presentation where he was showing all of these really cool gifts that he was creating and G.I.s s gifts. And you'll see this now in your chapter artwork. If you're if you're tuning in after the fact, if you're live with me now, unfortunately, you can't do that. Perhaps I will go on YouTube at some point, just so you can see this as well, because I'd be kind of fun. But in any case, I spend has created all of these things and I was like, man, I just, you know, how does someone like him make money for for creating gifts for for doing things?
Like what? And for him, it wasn't. It was just a passion project. But I was like, you know what? These are so cool. I really love artwork. I love the chapters of putting all of these sense into podcasting 2.0 and thankfully now my my host blueberry is up the limit for what I can include and so I can include gifts now in in my chopped artwork. So what you'll be seeing is every now and then some random little, you know, Bitcoin things, just to keep it interesting, especially if I'm on the topic of bitcoin and, and talking about why it's why it's helpful and why it's part of my value for value philosophy, you'll see those are popping 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 find him, he's also searchable on Twitter at a Starfury Flames. If you if you want to connect more with him, the final collaboration. So we've got, you know, voice acting, we've got the imagery and graphics. We're going to have some music. Nice. So this is the doerfels who is also helping us out. And you heard part of the very song Bloodshot Lies, which I'm going to be using for the intro music for for this season, because man, it pumps me up.
I love that song. And so the Doerfels for those who don't know, are a band based out of Nashville, and it's a band of five brothers, it's hard to count five brothers, mom, dad and sister. There's there's a lot of them. And they've created all of this music over the years. They're not an active band at this moment, but they have this whole back catalogue of music and Sir TJ The Wrathful TJ Doerfel He heard about all of this exciting stuff going on with value for value and value for value music, and he was one of the first people to truly stop start uploading tracks and to generate a bit of interest.
And in this value for value music of people who have created their music and instead of, you know, they had their shot and trying to do it through the traditional methods of the music industry, of doing it through Spotify, and they found that it just didn't work for them. But they're having a kind of renaissance moment, doing it again through value for value music. And so you'll see now I've also included the Doleful as a as a split into this. We'll be talking a little bit more later about the value of time splits, what I can and can't do at this very moment.
But nevertheless Will will be playing some music not only just from The Doerfels but from other people throughout this podcast, and they will be participating in this and helping to collaborate with me. And if you join into the live stream like Chad did before and I absolutely blasted is is that because I didn't have my levels fully sorted out yet which they will be, do not worry. Then you'll also be hearing a lot of their music because I'll be playing them in my pre stream and post stream music. So once again, thank you for the dollars if you want to find them doleful verse dot com.
I know it's the place where they're directing people and that's spelt D O e r f e l verse.COM And then if you also wanted to connect with t j he's so t j the wrathful on the podcast index Mastodon. So that is, I suppose my, my collaboration is just a little bit of what's going on for this season and I want to get into the boostagram Lounge now to thank some people from from the last episode because it has been a while and we do need to call out some people and give some thanks. So Mr. Adam Curry, can you please take it away? Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge.
Ooh, nice. Thank you, Adam, for introducing the Boosta Gram Lounge. So this is the section where I give some call outs. Thank some people who have been helping to to support the show in a monetary form, especially, which I really, really do advocate doing it through booster grams, which is where you can send a message directly within your podcasting app and this will be in any good app. So not all of them do it. So places like Spotify and Apple where they do not do it, but places like True Fans, podcast, podcast guru curio are going to breeze. I'm trying to remember medic all off the top of my head Fountain obviously Pod friend And is there one more that I'm forgetting?
That could be. But those, those are the main ones at the very least. And you can send a message directly within the app. It will come directly to me. It will also come directly to all the people I have in my splits, which is very cool. And this is all about collaboration. So, you know, 5% I've allocated to going to too many of these podcast app developers to encourage them to keep doing what they're doing. I've got 15% going to call McCormack because he's creating this music, creating these the voice acting clips for me on the fly each week.
So he's having to put a bit of effort in and then 10% is going to spend stuff for your flames and 10% is also going to the doors as appreciation for what they're doing. So this is the plan, the current set up that I've got this read out. Basically, I'm taking your time card. So we have from November 2nd, 20, 23, that's a full three months ago 2100 set sent using fountain from McIntosh and he says great season Macintosh to Macintosh thank you very much he is the host of the Satoshis Plebs podcast. It's changed his name a couple of times. He's appeared on on this very podcast multiple times, each time with a new name.
So yeah. Macintosh Thank you very much, my friend. And he's going to a great Bitcoin podcast. If you want to know more about Muse and News and the underlying precepts of of Bitcoin, we have, not only is he appearing on here with his crazy voice acting, but he's helping support the show. We have comic, comic one, he says. Long live value for value. Onward to a new season, get rested, recalibrate the value is all around you. 3333 sent using fountain again. Thank you, my friend. Much much appreciated. Yes. And I did rest and recalibrate. So I am feeling, you know, from feeling actually sick at this very moment.
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you man. We have from November six circus media. And I I'm pretty sure this is circus as like sir and then see you assess media as in he's no agenda a night at the roundtable and he says interesting explanation in managing your expectations as a B for the producer. One thing I think came 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 determine the product value. Very true. Thank you. So whether you were consistent in production or a one and done is strictly a personal decision and irrelevant to the value of received in return they would be wise to continue to.
Can you? Sorry, this is why I get cold to read out things. So stuff I'm not though would be wise to continue practising aircraft to improve and increase our exposure. One, two, 345 sets sent using fountain. Thank you very much. Now what's great now is now that the bitcoin price has moved up to nearly 100 k Australian, it's really easy in my mind to know how much people have sent through. And so at this very moment, 1000 sets is about a dollar for me. So that's, you know, $12.34 but is sent through there. So thank you. Thank you very much, my friend.
I very much appreciate it. And yes, agreed the value for value model. What I kind of describe it like I describe Bitcoin, which is on the surface, it's it's extremely simple. It's just it's a decentralised money, an internet money, a digital money. You know, what's the what's more simple than that? Value for value? Extremely simple. I create a product for free and distribute it out to you, and then you just return some value in some shape and form. But then you get into the weeds of like, okay, if I created in this particular manner, you know, as a documentary, how do I get people to know that I do the value for value model and get them to return the value for what it's created and I've seen a lot of discussions about this, and I think everyone has to go on their own individual path, which is what makes it hard value for value is is not a like you said, like a one and done type thing.
I think even if you do that, it's that you've got to create the you've got to create the base, the support, the expectations of this is how it's done. And I think that takes a long time to be honest. So doing it as a one and done like one movie and expecting value for value two to work monetarily and you be rich and all those sorts of things, I don't think it really works 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 own test booth for this last season.
And I do see Chad, who was joining us live, and he said dolls in the preshow 333 sets and using POD was and then also a we do it live another 333. So thank you very much, Chad. Much appreciate it. He's he's been sharing some of the clips and episodes of the value for value show across different mediums as well. So I really do appreciate that meant that that that helps a lot and that helps a lot and will be talking about value for value in the ways you can contribute back shortly right at the end of this episode. So sorry.
There was one other person who sent a message and this was so bray. I'm not sure I called it out on the last time, but he said V for V is a future of all payment lightning crashes, and then he's got his his was that rock emoji and that was 3333 sent using pot verse. I might have called that out live. If not, I did want to talk about him shortly because he's he's doing some interesting things which are helping out musicians. So let's go into this section here, which is I suppose, some of my latest developments and this is just keeping you up to date with what's going on in the, you know, value for value world, some interesting concepts, tests, proofs, ideas that people are working on and which are helping creators like myself be able to monetise and connect with the audience at the same time.
So there's three things I wanted to talk about here actually for Soledad. So libraries point in here. So first one, there's a new thing coming out called Fountain Radio. If you go to I think it's Fountain Radio dot if am, I probably should have brought this up beforehand. Radio, radio dot, Fountain dot FM is what I wanted to call that. And this is just a little website based thing they created. And it's essentially like a jukebox. And you can, you know, pay to have your song get put to the top of the jukebox. They've got a chat in there as well. It's not necessarily people.
They're all parts of the day. It's kind of hard to actually know. They don't have timestamps, so you're not sure exactly, but it's worth going onto and just playing around and you're helping to support musicians when you're uploading your favourite songs in there. And it's a great way to find 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, to send it back to them. The next one I had here was just a shout out to Blueberry for implementing the value time splits. So how value time splits for those who don't know is when I as a podcast creator can reference another piece of work and all the donations or a percentage of that, a large percentage will go to the actual creator.
And this is essentially how value for value music is working. So I'm going to play a song right at the end of each episode. And what will happen is that when you're listening to that in a post hand, the the split, instead of going, you know, 100% to the, you know, 60% to me and then 50%, 50% to call 10% to other people, what's going to happen is it will switch and I'll put it 90% to that musician with 10% then going to to me and the rest of the people who are in my splits, obviously that's reducing it down a lot. So they won't really be getting that much, which is is kind of fine because it's it's music that that is being played.
Now. The cool thing for this is it's really taking off with music and that's why you're seeing all these value for value music shows popping up. And if you go on to a place like Ellen Beats, which is a an app which you can download onto your desktop and I believe onto your phone, if you go to music shows there, there's a whole bunch at the moment. I'll still double to read them out. Also, I've got rolling on show radio story on Brewster Gram Ball, the side stream stats and sounds VU for the podcast It's a mood the fairly fun show black cat music podcast mixtape wave like Martin made a music outside in with Jemmy V Lightning thrashes by column owner so Lee Bright upbeat Home-Grown hits Phantom power music out and before this games.
nice. I might be adding my own little one. Probably not in the next four months, but maybe after that. I really think that would be a fun thing to do. And so what these V for the music shows do, essentially they will play music, they'll switch the, the, the, the splits to go to the musicians while the music playing. And then when they're talking again like a DJ, like a a V a VF veejay, then the splits will go back to them. So what we're going to do is unfortunately we don't have the ability to do it live. Blueberry. It doesn't do that at this moment.
So what I will be doing is instead in post ten, I'll be doing the Valley time split. So if you're listening to this after the fact and you're listening to 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, right a red off. I'm actually going to be doing it for my own show because that was taken from one of the book reviews. So not only can you do it through music, but you can also do it through other pieces of work. So you could do it through spoken word, you could do it through audiobooks.
I know there's there's some hints that some people are thinking of doing some some audio books or perhaps even call who 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 having some thoughts of perhaps doing some audio books or some carts or something like that. So you could be able to reference not only music, but it could be, you know, your favourite poem. If someone has created that as a as a RSS feed and you know, it's in the public domain and things like that. So very cool is exciting stuff going on with that and you will be noticing me implementing that as best as I can.
The final one I wanted to give a shout out to was Home who I think are doing really cool things with just the the hosting for podcasts. I don't know how this guy has got his whole set up, but basically if you go over to him at home, Dot Cole, help me out. Cole is a pod home. Dot FM. Let me quickly type in pot home dot FM. Yep. And if you go there and sign up, it's just a one time like a one plan fee, which I believe is 15 U.S. a month. And he's even got some promo codes and things like that. And you can create as many podcasts as you want and put in all of these sorry, 16, 1599 a month and put in all of these exciting things like chapters like using value time.
So it's like being able to go live. I know Cole McCormick does that with his show America Plus as well. So lots of interesting, cool things going on there. And I think it's just worthy shouting out the hosts like Blueberry who are implementing things and and and Barry at home for implementing the tools that creators like myself want to use. So super, super cool. Finally there was Thunder Road dot Media. So if you are a musician and you're wanting to get started of using putting your music up online so that people can find it and so that, you know, people like myself can play it, this is a great place for you to go to because he he 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 good pretty good service. I haven't used it myself. So I'm just using like from what I see from the outside, it looks like a pretty good service. So he's definitely doing some really cool things and I would recommend people would go there and try that if you are a musician. Thunder Road Dot Media is How to to type that into your browser and find that okay, the last section here is just a little section here just just talking about why I really encourage people to, to use all of the cool new technology.
And I had a chat with this guy called Trevor recently, and I did this on the Me Models podcast and Trevor is a pretty big v4v fan, but he's not a Bitcoin fan. And so he was just saying like, you know, I feel there's too much emphasis being put on the of doing all of these things through Bitcoin. Like it's hard. People don't understand that there's better options of doing it through PayPal or Patreon or things like that. And we had an interesting discussion. What I personally want to do though is is like I said, this is more on the cutting edge. This is more me experimenting with new tools, new techniques, new tactics with the new technology.
And I think it just has some very, very superior benefits that whilst are difficult, they're difficult. Like the Internet was difficult back in 1995. They're difficult like the social media platforms were in, you know, 2008. It takes time to get used to these things. It takes time to test them out. And for a relative newcomer to to come in to them, I can say in the last three years they've gotten much, much better. Sending a boost has never been easier. Getting some Bitcoin and Lightning Network has never been easier. It's still hard, there's no doubt.
It's still it's still a little bit hard, but it is getting easier and the thing is, it just enables so many more cool things. The splits, it's programmable money. I think it's just a like it is a revolutionary thing to to be able to use And so that's why advocates advocate for it so hard. And this is nothing to do with Bitcoin itself in terms of whether you think it's a good investment or anything like that. No, this is just me saying like, I encourage you to use these things because I think they are going to be the future and I think it is worthwhile playing around with them now and being able to connect with with your favourite creator, or if you're a creator, being able to connect with your audience because it's not just about the money, it is about the whole value for value, respect the whole value for value philosophy.
So that gets me on to my last little thing here. Time, talent and treasure. This is how you can help support this value for value Show time Sharing this episode with a digital creator. It would be amazing because this is the type of people who I really want to try and direct this towards so that they can know whether they be a musician, whether they be a digital artist like like Sven is, whether they be a voice actor, whether, you know, whatever their art is, whatever it is that they're creating and that can be distributed in a physical medium, sorry, in a digital medium.
I think this this kind of philosophy can can reach out to everyone and this is why I think we'll start to see a lot more collaboration happening in this next year, especially of people like myself and others who are trying to get other people interested in working together and creating new things. And I hope this podcast episode does that. I hope the digital art that's that's appearing on your screen from time to time, that Carl's voice acting, that the music I play, I hope that all of that creates a new product that is interesting and exciting.
So definitely share this episode with the digital creator. You can come join me live. I will for the next month, be going live at 10 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is UTC on a on a monday, which is UTC zero midnight. So wherever you are in the world, if your time zone is plus three, then it will be at 3ami expect you to join me. No, I mean it would be great if you did, but that that's probably the easiest way of of figuring. You're figuring out what exactly time I am. I do put a live pending notification. So if you are in any of the podcast apps like pop verse and podcast guru and Fountain and True fans, you will see that there is a live notification or a pending status for this podcast.
So that's probably the best way that you'll be able to see when actually it is that I'm going live 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 app overlap of these? I've already mentioned books and technology. If you think there's any books that I would find intriguing that would be helpful to cover on this next value for value season. I would love love for you to recommend one of those. Obviously I'd say yes and send it in via boost. But if you don't want to do that, I understand I've had people send messages to me via Facebook.
I had a really nice one recently on them via Facebook for the book reviews, which is blew me away. It was a it was a fantastic message from someone who really, really helped me out and knowing what he enjoyed, what he didn't enjoy about the the podcast episode. So you can also reach out there if you're uncomfortable using the best grams and things like that. The last recommendation treasure. I said, Well, obviously you got a couple options available for you. I recommend using any of the podcast apps. If you go to me a modest podcast dot com slash support, I've got a tutorial guide there on on what they look like, how to use them as well as some links for my other main shows the mere mortals.
There's also you can also do it directly through the podcast index website that supports the splits. If none of those are interesting to you and you like and I want to support you, but I just don't want to do it through any of those methods. I do have a PayPal. There is a link down below, unfortunately. Obviously I can't split that up between everyone. It's just too hard, you know, if I'm sending money like that back, back and forth to the ten different people in my splits, it's it's not going to work so great. So what I've committed to is any money that comes through the PayPal, I send that on to developers to help encourage them to keep creating cool products and to and in particular app application developers.
So yeah, that's that's the the ways that you can support the show monetarily and by the value for value philosophy as well. And the last bit here is I suppose just like a little bit of a personal note as to why I took some time away. I was saying in the last episode that I wanted to be back within a month. That did not happen. Obviously. It took me close to three or four months to get back. My mom's been sick for quite a few years now. When she she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's and I think it was the late 2016. And I've seen that progress over the years.
And it is a cruel disease, Really, really cruel. It's taken her mind from her and it's now to the point where it's taking her body from her as well. And we got some bad news recently that she's probably not going to be around with us for too much longer. So whilst I want to keep doing these shows and whilst I also want to travel as well and so question mark on that, there's just some question marks over to, to how long I'll be able to sustain the season, especially going live at a particular time. Each time I think. I think that could, could be kind of hard. So if there is an unexplained break.
Yeah, but something, something bad is going wrong. So just just know that and you know, it's just a a little message here to, you know, appreciate your family, appreciate your friends and tell them you love them. Tell them to you know, and this can also extend to your favourite creators because sometimes they can go away if if they don't feel like they're getting support, if they don't feel like they're getting love. So just a recommendation to to be kind to people and to to yeah, just, just, you know, show some value. So show some appreciation, show some love and life would be really good.
We're going to ended up here we heard that song right the start the intro music from there from the Dolls that was from this show and their song Bloodshot Lives Blue Bloodshot Lies, which was really my introduction to value for value music. I thought that was just such a good song. And I went, my God. Like, there's some really, really good musicians out here who, you know, just unappreciated. I think that is an amazing song and I wish it got more recognition. So I'll be playing that at the end here and I will be playing more Doors music in the future. As I said, if you want a boost in this section that that very much appreciated because that boost will predominantly go to the doors everyone including on their split.
So here we've got bloodshot eyes by the doors and we'll be back next week with some exciting new value for value topics. So take it away.
