Want to know about everything that is going on in Podcasting, then keep listening!
In Ep #35 I am covering how James Cridland and Sam Sethi implement v4v on their show ‘Podland News’. The unique aspect they bring is their willingness to integrate themselves into every aspect of the P2.0 world and persist in the v4v model even when for a long time they weren’t particularly seeing the value coming back.
A big shoutout to Petar The Everpresent, I appreciate him stupendously!

Want to know about everything that is going on in podcasting. Then keep listening. Welcome, everyone to another episode of the Value for Value Podcast. My name is Kyrin host of the Mere Mortals and Mere Mortals Book Reviews. And then also this show where I dive deep into other podcasts that are using the value for value model. And I see what tips, techniques, tricks, implementations that they're using and that we can perhaps take away for our own show today. Without further ado, I'm going to highlight one which is probably known to a few people around. It is called Podland News, and this is by James Cridland and Sam Sethi.
Both of these guys have other multiple podcasts and have been involved in the podcasting and especially radio scene for quite a while. James has one called Pod News, which somewhat forms the basis for this show as he takes stories from there. And Sam has one called Sam Talks Technology. So to read from their website. Podland news is the last word in podcasting news every Thursday. James Cridland from Pod News in Australia and Sam Sethi from Podcast First River Radio in the UK. Review and analyse some of the week's top podcasting news from around the world.
They also interview some of the biggest names making the news sponsored by Buzz Sprout and Squadcast. So that's pretty much it. They talk a lot about podcasting. So yes, indeed it is another podcast talking about podcasting. The madness continues. This is the upcoming Metaverse that everyone's talking about, obviously. So they've been doing this weekly since about December of 2020. And typically the show is around an hour in length, sometimes a little bit less, sometimes a little bit more. But that's the general length. The format that they use is mostly a conversation between themselves about the podcasting news that's been happening on during the week, I suppose.
So it's kind of like a weekly update show in that sense, but they also pretty regularly get a guest, if not multiple guests on, and then they dive into, I guess, what is happening in the hosting world or perhaps in the app development world or perhaps for a, you know, a unique podcast that has somehow managed to get their podcast on air lines and things like this. So they've they've definitely got a lot of things being packed into their show. And then also, you know, even they sometimes will switch up the host too, if one of them is unavailable for a while because they are across the world.
And with James being in Brisbane and Sam being in London, this is actually more edited than probably most of the shows I've covered on on here before. So they do lots of takes. Because I've noticed sometimes they miss a thing every now and then, but it's a very polished podcast with minimal ums and ers and definitely a, you know, kind of strict talking point. They, they know what they're going to be talking about and they have a real nice flow of, you know, James knows when he's going to talk, Sam knows when he's going to talk, etc., etc.. The sections that they have is generally the various news segments taken from Pod news.
There's a podcasting 2.0 namespace update. So this will be talking about the new tags that are being implemented, what work is being done. And then yeah, right at the end they kind of had the Boostagram section and also the kind of where you can contact them and things like that. So I'm going to play a section here from one of their episodes which was titled Hint. It's really simple to extend standards, and this is just the intro so you can get a feel for what they like, their voices and the likeness.
[00:03:52] Unknown:
Welcome to Podland. The last word in podcasting news. It's Thursday, the 14th of July 2022. I'm James Cridland, the editor of Pod News
[00:04:00] Unknown:
and I’m Sam Sethi The MD of River Radio, the podcast first radio station.
[00:04:04] Unknown:
Hi, this is Mitch Downey and I'll be on later to. Talk about Podverse Michael Mignano: and I am Michael Mignano. And later I'll be talking about the standards innovation paradox.
[00:04:14] Unknown:
They will.
[00:04:15] Unknown:
So you get a feel for what they're about. They're two radio guys who know how to use editing music, other people to give a real sort of bang to the start of their show, which is really cool. So jumping onto their value for value implementation, I've been listening to their show probably for about six months now and I've gotten a feel for a bunch of the things that they do, which yeah, is probably better than most of the other shows that I've heard. One is that they have very consistent requests for the audience to respond to a particular question. So it's not just saying like, Hey, show your support by sending a boostagram A lot of the times, if they can't come up in the moment with a, you know, one of those things that's on the tip of your tongue or perhaps they're talking about someone in particular and they've forgotten the name or, you know, those general sorts of things.
They will actually regularly ask just hey boostagram in what what that is or get you know, respond to this if you're all listening etc., etc.. So they're very clear with with what they want their audience to do and also with the terminology because James, as per particularly, James has participated a lot in not only the namespace but developing it and getting people on and I'll be talking about that shortly in the unique section. But is very clear, I guess for an audience member who's listening to go, okay, this is, this is what they want me to do.
So there's also lots of things that they bring in, like catch phrases. So if you can't see the chapter art and in your app, get a better podcast app, at newpodcastapps.com So lots of just handy, very guiding hints I guess to to how they want you to, to show the value and how you can give that back or do something for them. And then also at the very end of their podcast, I won't play that clip, but they're very clear with, okay, you know, this is what we have. We have got like chapter and transcripts. If you want to send us a message, you can send it to our email at here.
Or you can also send us through a boost message along with the kind of, you know, little side claims about who's been helping to support them in terms of sponsorships via Buzzsprout and things like that. So one thing that I did want to highlight was their Boostagram Corner So this is I suppose like the main section of fixing the feedback loop or making sure the feedback loop of value for value is, is in, in place in process. So that's one of the main critical factors of value for value. If someone sends some support your way, it's it they they shouldn't get the feeling like it's not being acknowledged.
And that is a absolute killer if you're not acknowledging the people who are supporting you in one way or another, you know, it doesn't necessarily have to be on the show. You could send an individualised email to every one of them, I suppose if you if you wanted to set it up that way or something. But you really do need to have that mechanism in place because it is not a nice feeling to be just one of the number. So with all that being said, they do have their own section which they called the Boostagram Corner, and I will play you a clip of how they run that.
And this is from the episode Podverse Mobile supports Alby and I'll keep reading this because I don't actually have episode numbers anywhere but podcast Mobile supports. Alby, Libsyn expands to Europe and Canada. Spotify filters music from podcasts, pod news launches, podcasts, name space dot org protects a trademark, and Aissa finds Stephen Bartlett. Yes, that indeed is the title of the episode. So with all that being said, here's a taste of how they do the boostagram Corner.
[00:08:02] Unknown:
Right. Guess what?
[00:08:03] Unknown:
It's time for Boostagram Corner.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
It is indeed. We've received a ton of boosts and we've received a big baller boost, haven't we? Indeed, Adam Curry has sent 50,000 SATs. Congratulations. Thank you. Adam. He sends a boostagram equal to a guest slot payment in Bitcoin world. Yes, he sent us 50,000 SATs instead of $50,000. But, you know, if I. If only if only had sold that helicopter sooner, he'd be able to afford $50,000 for us. But thank you so much, Adam. That's very kind, and I'm looking forward to meeting Adam next week at Podcast Movement 500 SATs from Macallan, who says little known fact, even Ouattara's real name, Evo, was on the show last week.
Evo Terra's real name is Augustus Winterbottom. He says it is a little known fact because it is not true. Evo Terra, his real name is Travis Unwin. It turns out from Wikipedia either that it's Evo having a joke or that really easy votes real name. But. But there we are. I am Macallan Thank you very much for that. Now, we received eight, eight, eight stats from the old podcast. I like a boost when James does impressions of the podcast industry. Fake James, do another one, please. Let's get a boost. That's right, Todd And also because James has made his calendar available for anyone to meet him up, Podcast may have been, well, I would say old podcast.
It might be full by now. Yes, it is. And Sam gets a half because he seems cool. Thank you. I get half. I don't know why I get half. Actually. James does all the work as we're about to find out. So, yes, I get off for whatever reason, but thank you to James for letting me have all of it. You do a lot of work and he's given us eight because it looks like snowmen. And I guess it's winter in Australia. It is winter, but we don't get snow here. But thank you very much. And he sent another eight sets for my wedding, which is very kind.
Excellent. Don't spend it all at once, James. Yeah, that'll buy me virtually nothing, but thank you very much. Dave Jones has sent us a big rush boost, saying Stephen Powell is the wonderful developer. The added boost support to the podcast index site He did. So thank you for that, Dave. We've received 5000 sets here. Sam Yeah, me testing out the podcast index boostagrams. It did work. I said, Hi, James did this work. Clearly it did. Let's move on from that 1000 sets from Mitch who says, Hello, James and Sam. This is a test boostagram from Podverse Mobile.
So if you see any bugs with it, please let me know. No bugs there. Thank you, Mitch. That's very kind. And Kyrin from the Mere Mortals podcast has sent one treble three seven, which is a leet boost or a big leet boost. He says your guest hosts always fit it nicely. I be getting worried if I was Sam now. No. Yes. No, I have. Not at all. We have Evo doing it every week. He might say things he says, I've been thinking the same James. I'll put saying, Oh yes, this was me talking about the the Brisbane podcast as group, which is a bit moribund.
He said, I will put some effort into kicking the group off again next month when it starts getting warmer again. Less than 20 degrees centigrade is unacceptable. It is, it's bloody cold. So thank you, Kyrin. That's so good. Of you. And yes, we should get the Brisbane podcast group up and running again because it was fun. So thank you to all of those people who've posted this and also beside podcasts who've who has given us $0.50. If you do get value out of this show, then half of it comes to me and half of it goes to Sam. That's how podcast splits work.
So if you want to send us a boostagram, then go find yourself a decent podcast app. The Fountain one is pretty good to get started and hit that boost button and away you go.
[00:12:11] Unknown:
There we go. A rather jovial affair, wasn't it? So lots of laughs coming in from there, acknowledging all the people who've been busy grabbing in some recommendations for how to do a boost at the end of the new people. You know, pretty bang on. I think they're doing it really well. And one thing you'll notice and this is getting into the something unique section was the various people that were getting in there. You know, they had well themselves boosting themselves, but also of developers like Mitch Downey. They had The Podfather, they had me another podcast.
They you know, it was a fairly wide selection. And the cool thing that about their show is that they've stuck with it. And I know this because I remember and I must have been listening for more than six months because it was probably about six months ago that they were saying this was James was actually getting a little bit disheartened because it was the same people boosting in over and over again. And, you know, if you're doing that for kind of three months straight, you will notice that, you know, you're probably going to get some people who really get it and they understand and you might get a new name crop up here and there, but it can be very few and far between and I guess like one of the things was, well, what's changed?
Because you can see from that little episode there that they actually had quite a few people coming in. And I would say it's that it's their approach, which is that they're everywhere in terms of they've sort of got their bases covered. James is very active in the podcasting 2.0 world, and Sam is with, you know, directly with podcasters and radio people and they, you know, will go to the conference is James's has been going to podcast movement recently Sam was going to I can't remember what it was called another big podcast maybe in in in the UK and they get their boots on the ground and they get into the weeds.
And not only that, but they have people on their show, you know, just from the clip I played earlier, they had Sam Sorry, was it Oscar Merry? Mitch Downey Apologies. Mitch from Podverse. And then Mr. Magliano because I forgot his first name, who was kind of like anchor slash Spotify fame because he was working. So they get everyone who's from the industry and who are more likely to know about, okay, this is what if they don't know what value for value is? Maybe they know about what the actual functionality of the boost is and things like this. So just over the past, probably a month or two, I've seen boostagrams come in from app developers, from podcast hosts, from randoms like me, from people, you know, podcasting to point people looking on the mastodon from other podcasters.
And I think even the occasional Bitcoiner, if I remember correctly. So the cool thing is one that they stuck with it, they continue doing it. It is going to feel, particularly at the start and I would, I would argue, even if you're a kind of like a big podcast, that you're not going to get your current audience to convert over to instantly sending in satoshis or things like that or even if you want to go down the kind of PayPal route, it's going to take time to to get them accustomed to it. It's going to take time for you to, you know, stress and highlight, Hey, I put a lot of value into this show.
And, you know, I appreciate all the things that you might be doing, such as sharing or clipping or providing insights from your expertise or appearing on the show or whatnot. But, you know, it also requires money to to create a podcast and to host a podcast and to, you know, to eat and feed myself, to be able to make a podcast. So there is quite a few extra additional details and that that highlighting that it does require a constant highlighting, Hey, this is what I'm doing, this is why I'm doing it. And it you don't have to be all in. I've highlighted this before, you know, James and Sam have Buzz Sprout as a as a host, as as well as a couple of other when I say host, I should say as a supporter or as, you know, kind of giving them financial backing or things like that.
So there is just a you don't have to be all in, but you do have to it does require a lot of kind of maintenance and bringing it up over and over again. And so there's something unique section, you know, they stuck out a good on them and that's really cool that the this you know I'm starting to see more success coming in for them and that's that's really awesome. So with all of that talk about you know boostagram Corners and boostagramming. I'm going to go into my own section of the Boostagram Lounge. Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge. And it's definitely a sad puppy week for the Boostagram Lounge because we only have one the ever present Petar who I do want to thank so much as always here who sends in 3750 SATs and says demasiado bueno which means too it doesn't actually mean what he what he thinks it means because you I know he wants to say it's like too good, but you actually say muy bueno so a solid attempt there Petar but yes you know funnily enough with me saying you need to constantly be highlighting and reminding people that about your show and that you will get more boostagram’s coming in if you do that, of course it's going to be the week where I just get one coming in.
But you know, it does make me appreciate that one person even more. So if you if you do want to become even more appreciated by me as such as Petar is, then I would just say, you know, send me in through a boostagram. As the value for value show is supported by you, the folks who are listening at home and you can do all of the cool things, like I mentioned, sharing, clipping, whatnot. But I really do love a boostagram coming in and taking a hint from Mr. James Cridland here, a great app to do this is Fountain, so it's easy to connect up to. If you listen to a podcast, you can get some stats coming in because the fountain app will send them to you as a kind of a reward, I guess, for listening and then, you know, pass them on to me.
I would very much appreciate that. So with all of that being said, I'll give my little value for value recommendation to the listeners at home today. And my one is actually to integrate yourself into where the boostagramming and where it kind of makes sense where people actually understand value for value. So James has done this in one way, which is by being very active in the, you know, a sections of podcasting 2.0 of going on to the mastodon account of the podcast index, which I believe is podcast index dot social for anyone who wanted to join in and see what that is like.
And then another great place to do this though, is where value for value originated. So this is the no agenda community that there's a, tremendous amount of legwork has been already done because that show has added a million listeners and they will regularly donate amounts of in, you know, big money you know, the cut off for reading out there there is a payment support to the show is I believe 130 150 USD or something like that and there segments are long. So if you integrate yourself into that community and you know, you start kind of promoting yourself around there, there are some people in that that whole community who understand what value for value is, and they show it in a very big way.
So there's obviously the podcasting 2.0 community you can dive into and then, you know, just check out no agenda, go on to the I believe it's no agenda dot social. This is where they kind of hang out. Another great place for you to if you're having this problem of not many people you know showing support sometimes you need to go to where the generous supporting people are who already understand value for value. That's a really good place. So that's going to be my recommendation for today. How for if you if you're looking for that, that extra little kick, go join the community and make yourself known in there and contribute to that community.
Don't just try and take. That's also very important. So that is it for today of the Value for Value podcast, go check out Podland News with James and Sam. It's pretty damn good and I can say that because I listen to it all the time and I really do hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the Pordand world, Kyrin out.

And Kyrin from the Mere Mortals podcast has sent one treble three seven, which is a leet boost or a big leet boost. He says your guest hosts always fit it nicely. I be getting worried if I was Sam now. No. Yes. No, I have. Not at all. We have Evo doing it every week. He might say things he says, I've been thinking the same James. I'll put saying, Oh yes, this was me talking about the the Brisbane podcast as group, which is a bit moribund.
He said, I will put some effort into kicking the group off again next month when it starts getting warmer again. Less than 20 degrees centigrade is unacceptable. It is, it's bloody cold. So thank you, Kyrin. That's so good. Of you. And yes, we should get the Brisbane podcast group up and running again because it was fun. So thank you to all of those people who've posted this and also beside podcasts who've who has given us $0.50. If you do get value out of this show, then half of it comes to me and half of it goes to Sam. That's how podcast splits work.
So if you want to send us a boostagram, then go find yourself a decent podcast app. The Fountain one is pretty good to get started and hit that boost button and away you go.

There we go. A rather jovial affair, wasn't it? So lots of laughs coming in from there, acknowledging all the people who've been busy grabbing in some recommendations for how to do a boost at the end of the new people. You know, pretty bang on. I think they're doing it really well. And one thing you'll notice and this is getting into the something unique section was the various people that were getting in there. You know, they had well themselves boosting themselves, but also of developers like Mitch Downey. They had The Podfather, they had me another podcast.
They you know, it was a fairly wide selection. And the cool thing that about their show is that they've stuck with it. And I know this because I remember and I must have been listening for more than six months because it was probably about six months ago that they were saying this was James was actually getting a little bit disheartened because it was the same people boosting in over and over again. And, you know, if you're doing that for kind of three months straight, you will notice that, you know, you're probably going to get some people who really get it and they understand and you might get a new name crop up here and there, but it can be very few and far between and I guess like one of the things was, well, what's changed?
Because you can see from that little episode there that they actually had quite a few people coming in. And I would say it's that it's their approach, which is that they're everywhere in terms of they've sort of got their bases covered. James is very active in the podcasting 2.0 world, and Sam is with, you know, directly with podcasters and radio people and they, you know, will go to the conference is James's has been going to podcast movement recently Sam was going to I can't remember what it was called another big podcast maybe in in in the UK and they get their boots on the ground and they get into the weeds.
And not only that, but they have people on their show, you know, just from the clip I played earlier, they had Sam Sorry, was it Oscar Merry? Mitch Downey Apologies. Mitch from Podverse. And then Mr. Magliano because I forgot his first name, who was kind of like anchor slash Spotify fame because he was working. So they get everyone who's from the industry and who are more likely to know about, okay, this is what if they don't know what value for value is? Maybe they know about what the actual functionality of the boost is and things like this. So just over the past, probably a month or two, I've seen boostagrams come in from app developers, from podcast hosts, from randoms like me, from people, you know, podcasting to point people looking on the mastodon from other podcasters.
And I think even the occasional Bitcoiner, if I remember correctly. So the cool thing is one that they stuck with it, they continue doing it. It is going to feel, particularly at the start and I would, I would argue, even if you're a kind of like a big podcast, that you're not going to get your current audience to convert over to instantly sending in satoshis or things like that or even if you want to go down the kind of PayPal route, it's going to take time to to get them accustomed to it. It's going to take time for you to, you know, stress and highlight, Hey, I put a lot of value into this show.
And, you know, I appreciate all the things that you might be doing, such as sharing or clipping or providing insights from your expertise or appearing on the show or whatnot. But, you know, it also requires money to to create a podcast and to host a podcast and to, you know, to eat and feed myself, to be able to make a podcast. So there is quite a few extra additional details and that that highlighting that it does require a constant highlighting, Hey, this is what I'm doing, this is why I'm doing it. And it you don't have to be all in. I've highlighted this before, you know, James and Sam have Buzz Sprout as a as a host, as as well as a couple of other when I say host, I should say as a supporter or as, you know, kind of giving them financial backing or things like that.
So there is just a you don't have to be all in, but you do have to it does require a lot of kind of maintenance and bringing it up over and over again. And so there's something unique section, you know, they stuck out a good on them and that's really cool that the this you know I'm starting to see more success coming in for them and that's that's really awesome. So with all of that talk about you know boostagram Corners and boostagramming. I'm going to go into my own section of the Boostagram Lounge. Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge. And it's definitely a sad puppy week for the Boostagram Lounge because we only have one the ever present Petar who I do want to thank so much as always here who sends in 3750 SATs and says demasiado bueno which means too it doesn't actually mean what he what he thinks it means because you I know he wants to say it's like too good, but you actually say muy bueno so a solid attempt there Petar but yes you know funnily enough with me saying you need to constantly be highlighting and reminding people that about your show and that you will get more boostagram’s coming in if you do that, of course it's going to be the week where I just get one coming in.
But you know, it does make me appreciate that one person even more. So if you if you do want to become even more appreciated by me as such as Petar is, then I would just say, you know, send me in through a boostagram. As the value for value show is supported by you, the folks who are listening at home and you can do all of the cool things, like I mentioned, sharing, clipping, whatnot. But I really do love a boostagram coming in and taking a hint from Mr. James Cridland here, a great app to do this is Fountain, so it's easy to connect up to. If you listen to a podcast, you can get some stats coming in because the fountain app will send them to you as a kind of a reward, I guess, for listening and then, you know, pass them on to me.
I would very much appreciate that. So with all of that being said, I'll give my little value for value recommendation to the listeners at home today. And my one is actually to integrate yourself into where the boostagramming and where it kind of makes sense where people actually understand value for value. So James has done this in one way, which is by being very active in the, you know, a sections of podcasting 2.0 of going on to the mastodon account of the podcast index, which I believe is podcast index dot social for anyone who wanted to join in and see what that is like.
And then another great place to do this though, is where value for value originated. So this is the no agenda community that there's a, tremendous amount of legwork has been already done because that show has added a million listeners and they will regularly donate amounts of in, you know, big money you know, the cut off for reading out there there is a payment support to the show is I believe 130 150 USD or something like that and there segments are long. So if you integrate yourself into that community and you know, you start kind of promoting yourself around there, there are some people in that that whole community who understand what value for value is, and they show it in a very big way.
So there's obviously the podcasting 2.0 community you can dive into and then, you know, just check out no agenda, go on to the I believe it's no agenda dot social. This is where they kind of hang out. Another great place for you to if you're having this problem of not many people you know showing support sometimes you need to go to where the generous supporting people are who already understand value for value. That's a really good place. So that's going to be my recommendation for today. How for if you if you're looking for that, that extra little kick, go join the community and make yourself known in there and contribute to that community.
Don't just try and take. That's also very important. So that is it for today of the Value for Value podcast, go check out Podland News with James and Sam. It's pretty damn good and I can say that because I listen to it all the time and I really do hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the Pordand world, Kyrin out.
