Why are Apple putting metadata topics inside podcast pages? Bumper's Dan Misener tells us what he thinks. Are Satoshis the best way to reward podcasters? Trevor Bell argues there are better ways.

Dan Misener has looked at the new topics that Apple Podcasts
is automatically allocating to shows (see our coverage on Nov 15,
including our topics viewer). He's produced a number of network
maps, designed to show links between different shows; and
produced episode topic maps for every category in Apple
Podcasts.

Trevor argues that Value4Value is good for podcasting but
rewarding podcasters with Satoshis is too early and other means
of monetisation maybe better for now. 



Show Notes and Links 


Seeing loads of downloads from a mysterious app called
Dalvik? You're not alone; they're all coming from Samsung Android
phones, and we understand that the downloads are related to
Samsung Free, the company's podcast app.


Acast is encouraging the use of visual descriptions in
podcasts, to make content more accessible for blind or low-vision
people.  Acast has launched a self-serve platform for
podcast advertising.
