Texas Hill Country Hello everybody Hello chat room hello
everybody welcome to the very first episode of the boost the
gram ball. We're playing trying we're getting SATs all the info
coming up next and after our first song when
Unknown: he was smiling for a picture on your phone and now
our voice is saying that too many times too many lies when
you lose yourself you know in careful leaving all the filters

to you believe it is the truth
even.
Adam Curry: Think of a better way than starting the first
episode of the boosted grand ball with one of our own sir TJ
the raffle is how you might know the band is the door falls
bloodshot eyes kicking off episode number one what are we
doing here? Running with Scissors we're letting we're
live. Boosted grand ball.com is the website that looks like
crap. Just getting everything started here it is taken 20
years to get to this point where we can have podcasts where we
play music and the artists get paid. What you need. If you're
doing this live is curio caster go to curio caster.com Connect
that app to your Albie wallet get lb.com You're going to
figure it out don't worry. Or you can go to the split kit and
I believe I have it set up so you can go to Live dot boost to
Graham ball.com. And you can follow along you'll get the
album are changing. And when you hear a song when you boost that
song or even if you're just streaming SATs in real time,
automatically the split the value block is switched the
wallets switch over to the artists and all of the SATs
well, minus a small fee for everybody else. We got to make
sure all the all the application developers get a little piece of
that so 90% goes to the artist. It is really phenomenal what
we're doing here. I'm so excited to talk more about it to let you
know what I expect from this in the future and what we're going
to do with this very show
Unknown: you're listening to with Adam curry where we're
changing the music industry, one Satoshi at a Time.
Adam Curry: the underclass here on booster ball booster ball
booster BAM booster bop bop booster gram ball. There you go.
What does it call it? Thanks for reminding me. If you are
wondering what's going on here, this is right now, the actual
first episode is being recorded live in front of a live studio
audience. That's what you get when when you use a modern
podcast app that will alert you that we're going live pod bursts
currently does that even does it on on the open source app store
I believe, which is cool. If you're an artist and you're
wondering, how do I get in on this action, what is actually
going on here, the whole point of value for value is you give
away your stuff, you put it up there and let people listen to
it, let them download it, let them enjoy it. But when they
like what they hear they have an easy way to return value to you.
We've made it even easier now by integrating that into podcast.
So any podcast can now create a music podcast if you have all
the right bits and bobs, which I'm sure will take a little bit
before that's really available for everybody. I'm using
sovereign feeds.com at the moment. And the split kit which
actually makes it quite easy for you to do this in a live
environment in other ways. Then you can add your music in a
number of places. If you go to wave lake.com wavlake.com You
can see a whole bunch of artists have uploaded their tracks there
you'll see little numbers next to it Satoshis that has value
that people are sending to it either directly from that
website where you can connect your your little Bitcoin
lightning wallet to to wave lake or it's coming from podcast apps
that are By using the system so if you're not live, you can use
pod verse, you can use fountain you can use podcast Guru, I
believe podcast addict I need to get a full list. We also need to
make that all available at podcast apps.com so we know
exactly what you can use. But this is the first episode we're
just getting started. It is a beautiful thing when you're an
artist and you get such appreciation even if it's a
couple of Satoshis per minute to see that coming in the idea of
someone listening at that moment and sending you value is pure
magic. Now you don't have to use wavelength you can also add your
music directly into podcasts index.org You can just act as if
your your album is a podcast and each individual episode has a
track you can even put in lyrics you can put in album art was
chapters if you're listening on a modern podcast app to this
right now, the chapter should be completely synchronized with the
music so if you go take a look at the chapters or take a look
at the art that's displaying the moment on a second this is
actually I've slipped back for me to see I'm trying to see if
if this is all functioning it's supposed to hold on one sec. I
believe the idea is when the song ends that then oh boy Okay,
I have to add that homeless second let me add that little
thing there. Okay, so now when it ends the the Satoshis go back
to the show and we go that's fixed. Nice. Where was I? Yes,
you can also upload to a podcast index.org You can use podcasts
or wallet to connect your lightning wallet for that you
can do it probably through contracts dot app. Pretty sure
you can probably do it through fountain directly or go to Ellen
beach.com You can see more music there and you can use the music
side project.com or even dystopia.com We're just getting
started this the first value for value music podcast not the last
I guarantee you and we're playing songs that we played
over the past couple of months and had a good time playing like
this one cherry on top I love having all these artists
available at my fingertips
Unknown: a minute
good
to the corner of the room that you want us to have you been
back and cry like oh Boy?
Out
stone stone stone used to grab a ball at
a class with no gas?
Adam Curry: Man I love this song Jeremy Olivary featuring Kellan
Quinn looking for you. And thanks to pastor cozy for
sending that song My Way and for actually onboarding one of his
favorite artists here, which is something you all can do is very
simple. You just show any musician how this works. And a
great way to do that is look at the wavelength top 40 That's the
only way of course but as an easy way to show that actual
value is coming in for these for these tracks. And I want to
thank a couple people for getting this rolling and it's
there's a lot of moving parts here. It's It's really crazy for
me to be doing a music show again. I appreciate everybody
who sent in artwork for me and little Sweepers and and openings
and all kinds of stuff. All of that is incredibly welcome
adam@curry.com Of course you can always boost the link if you
want to. And let me look at a couple of booster grams that
have come in right now. So I can just to read these off we have
OMA boosting the first episode it's lit Dred Scott with 1000.
We've got Dave I can only presume that is the one and only
pod sage who's on vacation. 25,000 SATs he says my boosts
from the boosted round ball live site isn't working on iPhone
Safari will keep trying. Yeah, I have a feeling that's probably a
misconfiguration on my end. I think we put a live link to the
split kit in on podcast index dot social. Probably better to
get it from there. By the way before that. It was Ainsley
Costello cherry on top. We got some booths for that as well
from Dred Scott who sent us a row of ducks on a second job
probably while we're doing this a little bit of a little duck
sound boosting cherry on top Ainsley Costello and booster
Graham ball great tune he says absolutely. And really most of
that 90% of that boost went straight to Ainsley she she
walked in with I think were their parents into the Bitcoin
what is that up in in national Bitcoin Park and said, I guess
the wave late guys are there and they convinced her to give it a
shot try out value for value instead of going the traditional
route. And man I've got a lot of people interested. I've got a
lot of people who were doing radio shows music radio shows,
who are really jacked about doing some music shows and
playing their music, not the stuff their station manager or
the music director makes them play. Dank, steady. 1000 SATs
thanks pod fall into one from Sir dank study of Dodie Island.
Then we have Kevin bay with 10,000 SATs. Thank you, sir. We
got Dred Scott booster gram baller boost, you got a chat F
he boosted the underclass with 1000 tonne record, tested it out
there and see Brooklyn 112 with 33,333 boosting to running with
scissors. We appreciate that. And oh, here we go. IPFS
podcasting dotnet I should probably I should probably
explain that we're doing more than just the live the live
boosts and the and the music. Wallet switching, which has a
technical name called Remote item or value time split, but
I'll just call it wallet switching music wallet
switching. And he sent a boost. Thank you from boost grand ball
for hosting via IPFS podcasting to time share to time. Okay, so
what is going on here is we're basically completely sovereign
in this in this endeavor. And we are hosting the actual mp3 file
which hopefully you're listening to through the IPFS network,
which is, in essence, a bunch of a bunch of home servers that
people host at home or around the globe. And they can choose
to pin this podcast and hosts all those episodes or maybe just
the most recent one. And when you boost the show, they also
get a piece for boot for pinning the for pinning the mp3 files
and supporting the distribution of the podcast. I mean, it's a
lot. There's a lot going on. Mike Newman Thank you very much
for oh he sent us a little mini striper boost I should probably
get the little striper donation sound up there for you Thank you
very much appreciate that. And we got one from I'm looking for
something from looking for something from pod fans. I would
be hoping that Sam and and the kids over there will be using
pod fans we'll keep an eye on the booths as they come in.
Meanwhile, I was putting out the song this is another one we
played on podcasting 2.0 Sarah J love this song. You're going to
listen to the track wait Destiny Wooster Graham ball
Unknown: rain Destiny Destiny says Gary Evans goes gambling
alone long way
filling up quickly
got so you wait So don't wait
all across this galaxy Hello friends where are you traveling
Adam Curry: Sarah Jade wait Destiny booster Grand Ball
episode number one. Man remember, if you're listening to
this after the fact not live, which were most people will
listen to it, even if you decide to if you'd like and you know I
should have probably boosted that song, you can just rewind
and and start playing from the beginning wherever you want and
boost it from there. That's the beauty of it, it works any
anywhere within the show. And when you're boosting or when
you're streaming sets during the song, the wallet is
automatically switched and goes over to the artists. And they in
fact, can split their payments any way they want. This is the
thing, that's kind of the big revolution of what value for
value does when it comes to value for value streaming
payments and booster grams. everybody participates in the
value flow. So it's not like, you know, with with an
advertisement or something that, you know, the podcaster gets
paid. And the app developer who has the app out there the
infrastructure, everyone just, you know, they can charge
something for your app, you can charge something for your
hosting company, for the hosting of the file. But really, when
when people value this, you'll see that people value it at a
much higher rate than what you might get well, for instance,
Spotify, I mean, Spotify, you can have 100,000 streams, you
may get, you know, $10 at the end of the day, depending on
what kind of deal you have. It's, it's really not a it's not
a great product over there. So you can also as a podcast or you
can decide to if you have you know, if you have two hosts, you
can split it 5050 You can give another piece to someone who
promotes the show or does some some production work for you.
The same when you're listening to a song when the song is
playing. Right now it probably mainly goes to one wallet, but
the artist can set it up if certainly if you do it through
music side project.com I'm not sure if dystopia does that yet,
but you could always use podcast or wallet.com at podcast
index.org or even use fountain or contracts with an X dot app.
You can split that so you could split it between writer composer
and every band member who play everyone who played on the on
the track and it's transparent you can take a look at it you
can see who's getting what so you don't have to have contracts
anymore. You can just go take a look oh, I'm still getting my 5%
of my 10% or whatever it is. Everything's good and you can
see it coming into your own wallet it goes directly from the
person listening using a podcast app. Remember podcast apps.com
directly to all the splits all the wallets and again when we're
playing the music, it splits right over to the to the to the
artist and however they want to split that up. Man I heard a
pretty interesting podcast was a pod news weekly review talking
about the state of podcasting. It's an interview with Rebecca
Samus. We'll talk about that in a minute. But first, let's get
back to our music Allie Mitchell when this is over.
Unknown: Make it
For Me
Shange?
You
Adam Curry: ally Mitchell when this is over, man, I had a real
kind of, I don't know I liked that song because I had a bit of
a prince a little bit of a Lenny Kravitz vibe to it. I'm not
quite sure what it is there's something nice about it and the
quality of the music and I'm really diggin what's out there.
And again, it'd be great if you can get your your favorite
musician, artists band, whatever get them on, on one of these
platforms. I'm going to put all of that into the show notes. You
can hear some of those booster grams coming in live. We will
read some of these because it's interesting to see what people
are talking about Mr. Robot just sent 4000 SATs shout out to the
smokin hot producer that made the artwork for today's first
booster gram ball on the index. Hmm, I wonder would that be
someone you know? Chad F. Oops Steven became in diggin when
this is over. Love that funky bass sound. I am absolutely Chad
F with 3333 just got my pod verse notification on iOS. Okay,
so it's a little late but we're it's a brand new feed this is
running with scissors as usual. Straight from the podcast index
muster rope, Mr. Robot with a short row of satchel of Richards
1111 In the morning really enjoying this? Can we get
official detox music? I can be a boost? Well, that's an
interesting idea. Okay, so I hadn't really counted on this.
But why don't we see if we can do a request like that. So the
cool thing about the setup for your podcasters who are
interested in getting into this, go to the split kit.com It'll
blow your mind cuz you'd be like, What is this thing? And
there is documentation. It took me a little bit and thank you
very much, Steven B for helping me out the other day doing a
whole screencast with me to explain it. Stephen B and an
Alex gates by the way, they came up with the whole spec for what
we're doing here that this wallet switching is even
possible. It's it's really, I don't use the word often but
it's awesome. Really appreciate what you guys have done and
Stephen B has just put together all these wonderful things like
sovereign feeds.com which is where I make the podcast feed
where I do the Live episodes, everything all gets done there
for all my podcasts actually, he also gets a percentage of all of
my podcast again then so I don't have to pay him anything for it.
When you boost when you stream it goes to him as well. That's
the way the value flow was supposed to work. Let me just
type in detox music here. And what is it that I can be? Let me
see. Oh, there it is. So this says what's nice about the
system all of the songs that are listed value for value show up
in in the split kit and I can easily find stuff and get it on
the fly. Let me see now I'm gonna bring this up let's see
let's see if we can do this first. There you go. By request
oh man I don't even need a producer I can still do it
myself. All right. This is for Mr. Robot by request and thank
you to Dame Jennifer and turn records sending in booths we
really appreciate it yes it's experimental Hello Darrin oh I
see you?
Up. detox music I can be on the premiere episode of boost the
gram ball by request, we can do it all gotta love that man. Love
it. I'm not going to do a lot of requests today. Of course if
you're if you're listening live in now I really got to get the
full list guys you need to send that to me. Pod verse, pod
friend, fountain pod fans, curio caster and podcast guru I'm
pretty sure those all do the live stuff. And then several of
those also have a chat. If not, you can always find the chat
room. Oh, that's good question. I probably should put that link
up somewhere. And I wonder if that that would be something
maybe we could even integrate into split kit. Just as just
some technical informed thinking about here. are calm M di had
never thought this would happen like this, we tried this in
2007, I think or 2008 was something called the podsafe
Music Network. And the idea behind it then since we didn't
have any payment mechanisms or didn't have the Lightning
Network, we didn't have value for value payments value for
value as a concept was just starting them with a no agenda
show. But we didn't have the actual mechanisms for that. And
the idea there was you give a license to the podcast podsafe
Music Network. And that license essentially allowed any podcasts
are to download, download that music, play it on their show, as
long as they reported back to the network, so you could see
that was played and, and would put it in their show notes which
by itself was was pretty good. We even had a lot of established
artists who own some of their back catalogue came in and they
put that up I'm expecting some of that to happen with with the
value for value streaming music as well. Value for value, music
and podcast. But what we've done now with this wallet switching
eliminates the entire need for you as an artist as a musician
as a band, as an orchestra, whatever you are, it eliminates
the need for ASCAP BMI, BMI, stamina SoundScan, Harry Fox
agency publishing, I mean you own your own publishing you own
your own copyright, but when you put it up value for value on
wave Lake, music side project.com directly on podcast
index.org using fountain to set up your wallet and get it into
the index. Just as it would look like a podcast only it's an
album and your tracks. When you do that. You are in complete
control in complete control and you'd be amazed how much value
people are willing to send again whenever they're streaming SATs
whenever you are listening and want to just give the artist an
extra boost that goes directly to the artist and the splits
they've put in place. Merica to Mary Kate Ultra boosted 25,000
SATs I'm not sure if that went to to the show or if that went
directly to detox music but Mary Kate says boost live and be a
part of podcasting history. Tone wrecker he boosted for I can be
I can see it right here. Actually it shows up a cool does
that from the split kid by request. Boom, I see the artwork
change on the requested track. So cool. Yes, indeed. I wanted
to mention that I was listening to pod news. The pod news weekly
review. And they had on Rebecca Sun us Santa ants. I think her
name is She's a producer and she comes from the NPR world. And
she got into podcasting and wound up producing initially
pivot which is my hate. Listen, we all know that love pivot
loves to hate to listen to it. With Kara Swisher and Prof. G.
Which is a good show. I just do. They just irked me, which is why
I listened to it religiously. And then she went to to Spotify
and started producing or actually to arch Well, I guess.
But it was put on Spotify, the Harry and Megan podcast, which
was not a big success. In fact, not many of the Hollywood
celebrity base podcasts that Spotify put a lot of money into.
Were a success at all, not the Obamas not Kim Kardashian there.
And I was ready to not like her when she was on being
interviewed on the most recent episode. But there was a couple
of things I really agreed with her. And she said that, you
know, we lost something. Well, we didn't. But the podcast
industrial complex, lost something with all the celebrity
podcasts. And it went from literally being all these cool
different voices. When we first started out, Maj. Weinstein the
bloated lesbian rock'n'roll geek show with Michael Butler, Dawn
and drew show the two wacky kids who live in a farmhouse in
Wisconsin, Callie Lewis, oh, my goodness. But there were so many
so many cool podcasts, so much different stuff that was out
there. And it kind of got snowed under by this, this group of
people who thought wow, now we can be we can be NPR or, you
know, some kind of professional radio thing over here. And while
the money was cheap, while the interest rates were almost zero,
and companies like Spotify could get their hands on lots of cash
and poured into projects like that. Sure. There was lots of
work now that has just evaporated. Rebecca even talks
about that. But then she and she wrote this article for I think
Vanity Fair. And she and the crux of it, which was not quite
the same as the interview. The crux was a little harsher and a
little more kind of mainstreaming from her
perspective. And podcasting is no longer cool. It's kind of
over as we know it should be. Should we be looking for a
different name? And she was like, Got more nuanced on the
show but she really said that it turns out it was a big mistake
to have people who actually know what podcasts are to have them
producing podcasts for people who don't really understand the
beauty of all these disparate voices and it kind of being raw
and not not 100% Perfect. Even though I've got chops from doing
this crap for over what 43 How many years I've been doing this
43 years it's not perfect. Everything's not the way it
exactly should be. But I think that's what's so appreciated.
And now while she is questioning whether podcasting is over, I
think what we're proving right here is we have just created an
entire new category of podcasting music podcasts where
the artists get paid That's right we play tracks they get

Adam Curry: Lazy handle it on boosted RAM ball, the premiere
episode episode 01. These are all tracks that we played
previously in podcasting. 2.0, which is usually in this slot. I
want to say a big shout out to my brother from another mother,
Dave Jones, who's probably in California, looking at redwoods
and pride. He's probably listening if I know. We did see
I think a boost coming coming from earlier. So much fun to do
this. This you know what's great about it is that this is not one
platform. It's not one company or one organization. This is the
opposite of Silicon Valley's system where you give them all
your creativity and you get crap, nothing's zero. Instead,
this is all these different people and servers and
organizations who are able to interoperate through RSS. If you
don't know what RSS is, man, you should really get yourself an
education is the open syndication distribution
standard that's been around On for, I'm gonna say almost Well,
probably more than 24 years, but it's it still keeps a lot of the
underpinnings of the internet together blogs, pretty much
still I think every blog will have an RSS feed. If if your
podcast doesn't have an RSS feed I'm sorry, you probably don't
have a podcast because it should be able to be received on any
podcast app, any podcast system that understands RSS I just saw
in the chat room that podcast addict also can get the live
stream as we do the show live they unfortunately don't do
booster grams yet but they have value for value streaming. So
that's good news for those who on podcast addicts. It's just so
so nice to have all of these things completely integrated. We
can just do it and we don't need permission Mary but anybody no
one needs permission. You don't need to get permission to start
a podcast you don't have to be a certain way you can just go to a
hosting company or you can use something like Castor pod or
sovereign feeds or even if you want you can do one you know
with with no tag you could even write your own RSS feed. I
missed a robot This is revolutionary go pod can go
podcasting and Alex gates coming in the infamous Alex gates with
2002 SATs all that lovely compression is ruining the juicy

gonna have to live with that anybody can do their own song
their own version of a music show and actually did back it
off a little bit but man when it's pumping it gets my blood
jumping know what I'm saying? Here is the first song we ever
played testing the original system of the value time splits

Adam Curry: Man, Joe Martin, thank you for putting your music
up and being the first man. You must value music sharing for
sure. Hi, Graham gravity Joe Martin Joe Martin music here on
the very first episode of the boosting grand ball and I kind
of timed it right. I was thinking I do about an hour's
worth. It's been years and years and years since I've done a
music show that wasn't just completely seat of my pants. I
had to prep this one because, you know, getting everything
lined up and making sure everything's in the split kid so
that the Alkmaar changes. And again, if you're listening to
this in either on the web, you might have just hit a player
somewhere or legacy podcast app support these artists support
the show support the entire infrastructure of podcasting 2.0
value for value, including IPFS. Net IPFS, podcasting.net, all
the people who are hosting the show, I'm presuming that that
works, by the way. Support them by getting a modern podcast app
at podcast apps.com. The ones that that work as far as we know
our pod verse fountain fountain, actually the new version, the
new version is out yet the beta do something very cool, where as
a part of the podcast episode, you can not only just listen to
the music and the show itself, but then you can hit what is it
called? It's I think it's called references. And because it can
be anything but in this case, we're using songs and you can
see each of those songs you can boost them from there you from
there, you can get to the album. It's a whole ecosystem has been
put together their pod friend just saw a boost coming in from
pod friend I think yep. Mike Newman 7778. He did that twice.
Thank you very much boosting the ball through pod friend.com.
Howdy Martin. He says. I see who else you either. Oh, there's
this is interesting. I think this is an automatic. Thank you.
Now I have for IPFS podcasting. I have two little servers in my
home. They're literally sitting here in the studio. One runs on
on an old surface laptop, the other one runs on a start nine
Pro, which I'm very pleased with, which is a complete
sovereign software system, but you can also load that yourself
on your own hardware. And so I got a heritage 47 stats thank
you from the booster Graham ball for hosting that it has the
title there via IPFS podcasting dotnet to timeshare to IPFS
nodes. This is working. This is working Hello Martin Lindas

Thank you so much. 123456 123,456 Satoshis Sakala
20 is Blaze only Ambala very much appreciated anonymous,
anonymous, I was showing up at the end of the show and we are
kind of at the end of the show, I have a lot of post production
to do. If everything goes okay, then you will actually be able
to see the chapters will synchronize with the music
that's playing split kid has a way to output that. And that
will synchronize beautifully with the album art. It should
also I don't know if they include a link. It should if it
doesn't have a link to the homepage for that artists. If
not, we'll try and get all of that into the show notes a boost
to Grand ball.com It's a piece of crap right now. As usual. I'm
looking to create a community here. I'm looking for jingles.
I'm looking for you to point me towards awesome music you love I
want to be onboarding people. We need artwork, we need all kinds
of things. We just need the community to step in, step up
and make this kind of podcasting a huge success. Thank you to all
of podcasting 2.0 everybody who participated in this first
episode, everybody who's been here holding my hand as we run
with scissors is very, very much appreciate it one more song
before I go. That'll be Cory Keller, it's so hard to feel
alive. We'll see you next week until then adios mofos Hui Hui,
