One idiot’s attempt at starting a Value 4 Value podcast.
In Ep #31 I am covering how Joshua Dennis runs v4v on his show ’Podcasting 4 Value. The unique aspect that Josh brings is his willingness to dive deep into the tech weeds and be not afraid of running with multiple IPFS scissors in each hand. He also has a cool way of promoting his show called ‘Satvertising’, which is incidentally how I found out about it in the first place.
A shoutout to Petar The Slav, Kyle Hebert, Cole McCormick, James Cridland and Coradical for the support. Sexy names!

One idiots attempt at starting a value for value podcast welcome everyone to your one stop shop for everything value for value. This is the weekly podcast where I Kyrin host of the Mere Mortals in mere mortals book reviews, dive deeper into other people's episode shows and see how that they are implementing the value for value model into their own works of art, their creations and what we can learn from it. So typically, I pick a show, which is using it in some unique way, some different way. And I'll do a little bit of a highlight and expo Z. And today we have one called podcasting for value. And so make sure to put the four in it. So it's not fo r but the number four. And this is hos hosted by Joshua Dennis, I'm going to quickly jump to his website and read what he says from there. And you might have already heard it when he did its attempt at starting a value for value podcast. And that's pretty much it. It's a pretty basic plain website. And I would say that's actually kind of what this show is all about. It's really doing the basic necessary stuff to getting a podcast off the ground and somewhat as you'd suggest from the title and learn from the title, the podcasting for value. So how he implements his show and doesn't evaluate, evaluate. So kind of very similar to this in one way. But in another way, it is completely different. So what he really tries to do is explain how to get a show off the ground. In particular using more the self hosting method more explaining the tags and things like that. So he'll be going into stuff which I have no idea of. So even just for his little blog on his website, for example, has titles such as a markdown post with a svelte component syntax highlighting with MD s VX automatic headlining links in MDS v x. So it's definitely more on the side of understanding, I guess, the the tech encoding behind these things where, whereas I'm, for example, nowhere near that level. So Josh does this, usually on a weekly slash fortnightly basis since around January 2022. So he's up to 19 episodes at the moment. And these are typically about 20 to 30 minutes long, and it's usually only just him in it. So they'll start off with an intro, the main sections that he has is editing enclave. So this is talking about, you know, recording the audio, and what sort of programs that he will use. He's very into open source and things like that. So there's so many different methods and things that he does, blah, blah, blah, which is typically where he'll go on maybe a little bit of a rant of problem that he was having, how he solved it, how he fixed it. I think there's one which was about the sort of namespace stuff, I can't remember exactly what that's called. And then value for value, typically, right at the end, I'm just going to give you a little bit of a taste of one of his episodes. So this was around the three minute mark three Min 18, from Episode 17.
And this was after he had left his laptop elsewhere, and so was having to use another laptop to produce the episode for that week. And so some of the problems and things that he was solving and slash finding and how he was going about that. And those are all open source software. So there is no searching for activation key, or going through the hassle of getting windows up and running with with Zed key or anything like that, or, you know, finding copies of the software. It's all readily downloadable or installable from the operating systems software manager, which if you've never used Linux or Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian blah, blah, blah. Debian is one of the oldest and most stable Linux distributions. Linux operating systems that are out there. And so Linux Mint builds on top of those, and it has a software manager, which you can do a search for whatever software you're looking for. And if it's available in the manager, you just click install, and then it installs. If you haven't tried Linux, I would, I would recommend putting it on an old laptop, or whatever else you can find Raspberry Pi, any sort of computer, desktop computer as well. And just give it a try. I mean, I would recommend Linux Mint for anybody, but especially for beginner. I mean if you know how to use Windows, or the iOS or Mac, whatever they call it on their laptops.
So there we go. There's probably about 18 different words in that small section which I somewhat No, but I have never particularly used myself and things like that. So he's full of all the all these type of useful tips and tricks and you know, where beginners should maybe start at bits himself and other episodes how he uses Google a lot to try and find the answers and, and things like this. So it's really good if you're interested in getting a podcast up and running from the ground, someone who's doing it from scratch, he'd been on podcast before, but he'd never hosted one and things like that.
So from episode one through to 19, it's all about his experiences during this, I'm gonna go into his value for value implementation and how he typically goes about this, I've noticed he usually puts this at the end, this is kind of a standard behavior from from most people, if your show is actually, you know, I take that back, I have seen it all over the place. Some people do in the middle, some people do at the start, he does it at the end. But he's not afraid of also, using his booster grams is like a source material and whatnot. So his show was designed for explaining and how to get up and running through sort of semi self hosting and also implementing these tags. So he's very good at explaining, okay, you know, the value tag is this, this is what it does, which is some things that like, I kind of know this stuff, but I've never particularly talked about it elsewhere. Because, you know, people aren't tuning in to my show to find out how to podcast that more tuned in for, you know, God knows why they tuned into the mere mortals is a lot of random crap that goes on in there. But you know, they're along for the journey. It's fun.
So, in this section, I'm going to play right now. This is his Brewster Graham section, I guess and how he uses this to turn into to source material. So this is from around the 14 minute mark of episode 19. Histograms here are the the boosts here. I received 2222. That's from the mere mortals podcast. And so in the in the parlance of our podcasting, 2.0 that would be considered a row of ducks. So thank you mere mortals podcast. And they, I think it's probably chyron, who, who wrote the booster gram, and it says, it's interesting to see your progression of adding more and more functions to the podcast, Josh has made me more motivated to get my podcast, more up to scratch. And Great, thank you. I appreciate it. Getting booster grams with messages and questions has certainly motivated me as well, like this is I was more excited to do this podcast, and I was for the last few for sure. Just because of the interaction and it makes it so much more easy. So much more easier, so much easier, so much easier, would probably be the way to say that so much easier than or it makes it easier because it just adds it adds content. And and I do very much appreciate it. And then there was an anonymous, which I don't know if you can even put booster grams through pod verse But pod versus an or no sorry, that's not pod verse. That's pod friend. So 500 SATs from pod friend from I don't know who that was six hours go.
So I appreciate that as well whoever you are. Now that's, that's great. So that's three, three boosts since the last episode so we're breaking records here and I'm excited about that for sure. So a couple of things jumped out at me from there one he does a good job of explaining what the numerology is people new coming into this might not know why 2222 is a row of ducks. I mean I suppose he could have also explained that the two looks like a duck from the sideways point of view hence the row of ducks The next one is the noticing that the booster grams are increasing. I've noticed this myself on my shows the more you go on it The more consistent you get. It's it's a it's kind of growing in a way so it's not it's not a dying medium, it's people are getting more interested in it. And you might think like why the hell would people be more interested in sending money through your way but you know, if you've done the value for value model long enough, you'll start to understand why it is not only important for for you but also for them like they get something out of it. I got something out of sending him that booster gram and it makes me feel good makes him feel good. Everyone feels good of it. So it's not a method which is slowly dying on the grapevine sort of thing. It's like this is where the cool people are hanging out.
The last one was just as noticing and highlighting of the the interaction part. People get back to you. It's just there's nothing like receiving these these feedback because I've tried it. I tried it for ages for fucking ages. With my shows of getting some sort of feedback and reactions and comments, and you know, you're begging people, like, please, please message me something, and you just get nothing. And what diving into the value for value world is really enabling is these messages. And you know that it's not the amount, particularly, especially when you're a small podcaster, like me or him. But it's, it's the, it's the time that someone has taken to send the message. And it's also the medium, they've done it in the actual app, like, it's just so much easier for them. So it's removing those barriers for them actually being able to send a message because you'd probably do it more often on tons of different things. But it's that hassle of getting out your phone. Scared, do I need to scan this thing? Oh, crap, I need to go to a different app, what's that email again, or they said it, they didn't write it down anywhere? How am I meant to copy it add a little bit. So all of that goes on. And this is just a brilliantly simple, easy way, intuitive way of messaging and, and getting in contact with the person that whose content you're consuming and really like to. So I'm gonna get into my last section here on the podcasting for value, Josh's show and talking about something unique that he does. Now, I had written down in my notes here for to go to around about the 19 minute mark of episode 18. But unfortunately, I was having some troubles with that. And this is actually to do with his show. So the sort of unique part is really what he's, he's actually doing with his show. So he's hosting us his podcast through IPFS, podcasting, which is the interplanetary file system. It's a way of distributing online digital content in a way where it's not centralized. And so many different nodes can host it. And so you won't ever have a complete server go down, and then you know, the website is down or things like that. So it's cool for a very interesting idea. But what people have noticed is, it's not primetime ready, it struggles and it struggles loading audio, because I'm here in Australia, the closest node that he has, I think he said, There was five or six nodes hosting his is in Vancouver, Canada, where he's from, and then, you know, that is just causing issues. So I can't actually play this clip, but it kind of ties in with the unique part, which is, if you want someone doing something, really kind of on the edge, and, and playing around with stuff, which is going to break and it's okay with that, you know, this is the guy to kind of learn from because that the value of someone doing that is is pretty unique. And it's, it's really nice to see that there's people out there who are experimenting and doing that, and that, you know, there's, there's, there's just people different from me who are like, ah, you know, I'll put my toes in the water but I'm not I'm not really you know, I'm not full running with the scissors I'm doing like a kind of medium shuffle. So that's really cool that he's is doing that. So you know, you could maybe even call him a running with sixes Maxi. And in that particular section, he was explaining his experiences of of chatting with other people about value for value in real life, which I think is a nice thing to mention as well because it is different doing it online versus you know, trying to tell a friend or a colleague or a family member, about what it is you're doing how you plan to, you know, use the show that you're going you're creating to to fund your lifestyle, I guess to keep the podcast continuously going. And he's got some messages attached to that. What I can do that was something else that he's been doing unique, which is a he might have coined this term from what I can tell it's called his approach to advertising which is called Set vertising. So I'm just going to go here to booster gram that I received from the memorial show about at the start of July or around the ninth and this is from Freudian slips and so he sent 4567 using fountain he says set advertising colon podcasting for value colon one idiots attempt at starting a value for value podcast comm Have a listen, after all, we are all just mere mortals. So what I really like about that is one this is actually how I found out about this show. So you know, he not only did he send me Satoshis not only did he provide something for my show to talk about, but he's also given me more content here to be able to go into so, you know, the advertising and certainly worked in this case, and I really appreciate that. And I've seen him and notice that he's been doing it on other shows, and it seems to be working relatively well for him when he was doing it a bit more in a spammy way.
As he as he was saying, he noticed the numbers on his show increasing and when he got a little bit sick of that and wanted to let it rest for a bit, he noticed them decreasing. So it actually works now, you know, the thing is also doing it in a way which is not overly spammy, I actually kind of liked this one you know, he had the the core aspect of his his show but then he also threw in a reference to my show at the end so I know it's not just a random bot creating this it's like he actually spent the time to listen to understand a little bit about what the Mere Mortals is and whatnot. So that's a really cool little thing if you want to try it out for yourself a set advertising you know, sending in a booster gram to other people shows where you know they read it out. That's a perfectly fine way of sort of highlighting your own show and from what I can tell, most people seem to enjoy reading it out as well. So that's a beautiful little unique thing that he has he's been doing I'm gonna get now on to one of my favorite parts which is the booster gram lounge.
Welcome to the value for value gram right so Josh was talking about receiving a record number of booster grams and although this isn't a record, it is nice to see that this is pumping up for me so you're you coming in hot we have Pete Ah, the slab who sends through 18,750 using fountain and he says Kyle haber is one talented mofo I 100% agree with that, that he's got some mad skills and those not only mad skills and creating the different unique voices, but almost scripting it for himself. You know, that's, that's creativity right there. That is pure creativity. Very, very cool. Got none other than Carl haber himself. And this is kind of a fun one because he sent this through using Brees, which is an app, which is I'd say pretty good for his sort of show nice and short, shows the images really clearly for his chapter art. And yeah, that's it's a nice place to watch his show his type of show. And he says, Thanks for the plug. Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark. Hey, no worries, my friend. Thank you.
And then he sends out another 3750 this time using fountain and he says, just because hey, I appreciate Bruce like that. Hell yeah. We've got another one here. This is 825 using fountain and this is Cole McCormick one. And he says listen to my show America plus, which is all capitalized. I will always be known for giving the most Satoshis to my audience. And each month. Next is July 31. I give the listener 2000 sets and we'll increase that amount every month for 12 months. Okay, cool, man. I have said before previously, if you want me to check out your show, send me a histogram and he's done. So so that is a little sneak peek for what will be coming on next week. We have none other than James Cridland. So if you listened to podcasting 2.0 You'll know his name, host of pod land and pod news. And he sent through 188 SATs through fountain Thank you very much. James says fun to hear.
Interesting way to analyze this area. Thanks neighbor. And he says that because he's also from Brisbane, my friend. My pleasure. And yeah, if you want to know about podcasting in general, the podcasting news he's sort of like a journalist podcaster reporter that's a good place to go pod land or pod news pod uses the sort of shorter five minute ones that he does daily during the week so highly recommended. He's also been on the Mere Mortals so I had him on there so if you want to conversation with him, check out that Geez when it would have been would have been around the 3040 50 super unhelpful there.
Yeah, no worries. And then finally coming in in the rear we have three sets from Costco radical or Cora decal, I'm not sure how they want to say it. And they say it's nice to hear Hey, thank you, my friend, very much. Appreciate it. I'll take any sets you want to send my way. And so that's it for running out our booster Grand Rounds. Thank you everyone who contributed much very much appreciated helps me to continue what I'm doing and you know, sending these sets on to other people, which I very much enjoy like I did for Josh's show podcasting for value. My little suggestion highlight for this week, I'm just gonna say check out the conversation I did with James Cridland. I think that's a fun one to learn about the sort of podcasting industry if you're getting into into it, interested in it, if you want you might be if you're curious about this show and and wanting to learn more. I think that's a decent episode. To start off. The link will be in the chapter images around the section here as well as the little picture of James and have that conversation And yeah, check that out. Let me know what you think of that. That's the my show main show the memorial show. And yeah, if you enjoy that, send me a histogram.
Let me letting me know how much you did or didn't enjoy it or how to improve it. Any of those things are very much appreciated. Other than that, I really do hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world Kyrin out

And it's, it's really nice to see that there's people out there who are experimenting and doing that, and that, you know, there's, there's, there's just people different from me who are like, ah, you know, I'll put my toes in the water but I'm not I'm not really you know, I'm not full running with the scissors I'm doing like a kind of medium shuffle. So that's really cool that he's is doing that. So you know, you could maybe even call him a running with sixes Maxi. And in that particular section, he was explaining his experiences of of chatting with other people about value for value in real life, which I think is a nice thing to mention as well because it is different doing it online versus you know, trying to tell a friend or a colleague or a family member, about what it is you're doing how you plan to, you know, use the show that you're going you're creating to to fund your lifestyle, I guess to keep the podcast continuously going. And he's got some messages attached to that. What I can do that was something else that he's been doing unique, which is a he might have coined this term from what I can tell it's called his approach to advertising which is called Set vertising. So I'm just going to go here to booster gram that I received from the memorial show about at the start of July or around the ninth and this is from Freudian slips and so he sent 4567 using fountain he says set advertising colon podcasting for value colon one idiots attempt at starting a value for value podcast comm Have a listen, after all, we are all just mere mortals. So what I really like about that is one this is actually how I found out about this show. So you know, he not only did he send me Satoshis not only did he provide something for my show to talk about, but he's also given me more content here to be able to go into so, you know, the advertising and certainly worked in this case, and I really appreciate that. And I've seen him and notice that he's been doing it on other shows, and it seems to be working relatively well for him when he was doing it a bit more in a spammy way.
As he as he was saying, he noticed the numbers on his show increasing and when he got a little bit sick of that and wanted to let it rest for a bit, he noticed them decreasing. So it actually works now, you know, the thing is also doing it in a way which is not overly spammy, I actually kind of liked this one you know, he had the the core aspect of his his show but then he also threw in a reference to my show at the end so I know it's not just a random bot creating this it's like he actually spent the time to listen to understand a little bit about what the Mere Mortals is and whatnot. So that's a really cool little thing if you want to try it out for yourself a set advertising you know, sending in a booster gram to other people shows where you know they read it out. That's a perfectly fine way of sort of highlighting your own show and from what I can tell, most people seem to enjoy reading it out as well. So that's a beautiful little unique thing that he has he's been doing I'm gonna get now on to one of my favorite parts which is the booster gram lounge.
Welcome to the value for value gram right so Josh was talking about receiving a record number of booster grams and although this isn't a record, it is nice to see that this is pumping up for me so you're you coming in hot we have Pete Ah, the slab who sends through 18,750 using fountain and he says Kyle haber is one talented mofo I 100% agree with that, that he's got some mad skills and those not only mad skills and creating the different unique voices, but almost scripting it for himself. You know, that's, that's creativity right there. That is pure creativity. Very, very cool. Got none other than Carl haber himself. And this is kind of a fun one because he sent this through using Brees, which is an app, which is I'd say pretty good for his sort of show nice and short, shows the images really clearly for his chapter art. And yeah, that's it's a nice place to watch his show his type of show. And he says, Thanks for the plug. Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark. Hey, no worries, my friend. Thank you.
And then he sends out another 3750 this time using fountain and he says, just because hey, I appreciate Bruce like that. Hell yeah. We've got another one here. This is 825 using fountain and this is Cole McCormick one. And he says listen to my show America plus, which is all capitalized. I will always be known for giving the most Satoshis to my audience. And each month. Next is July 31. I give the listener 2000 sets and we'll increase that amount every month for 12 months. Okay, cool, man. I have said before previously, if you want me to check out your show, send me a histogram and he's done. So so that is a little sneak peek for what will be coming on next week. We have none other than James Cridland. So if you listened to podcasting 2.0 You'll know his name, host of pod land and pod news. And he sent through 188 SATs through fountain Thank you very much. James says fun to hear.
Interesting way to analyze this area. Thanks neighbor. And he says that because he's also from Brisbane, my friend. My pleasure. And yeah, if you want to know about podcasting in general, the podcasting news he's sort of like a journalist podcaster reporter that's a good place to go pod land or pod news pod uses the sort of shorter five minute ones that he does daily during the week so highly recommended. He's also been on the Mere Mortals so I had him on there so if you want to conversation with him, check out that Geez when it would have been would have been around the 3040 50 super unhelpful there.
Yeah, no worries. And then finally coming in in the rear we have three sets from Costco radical or Cora decal, I'm not sure how they want to say it. And they say it's nice to hear Hey, thank you, my friend, very much. Appreciate it. I'll take any sets you want to send my way. And so that's it for running out our booster Grand Rounds. Thank you everyone who contributed much very much appreciated helps me to continue what I'm doing and you know, sending these sets on to other people, which I very much enjoy like I did for Josh's show podcasting for value. My little suggestion highlight for this week, I'm just gonna say check out the conversation I did with James Cridland. I think that's a fun one to learn about the sort of podcasting industry if you're getting into into it, interested in it, if you want you might be if you're curious about this show and and wanting to learn more. I think that's a decent episode. To start off. The link will be in the chapter images around the section here as well as the little picture of James and have that conversation And yeah, check that out. Let me know what you think of that. That's the my show main show the memorial show. And yeah, if you enjoy that, send me a histogram.
Let me letting me know how much you did or didn't enjoy it or how to improve it. Any of those things are very much appreciated. Other than that, I really do hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world Kyrin out
