Ungovernable Podcasting | The Confab 26: Barry & ChadF
In this episode of The Confab, Max sits down with Barry (Podhome) and ChadF to chart where independent podcasting is headed and why Podcasting 2.0 still matters. They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wildâfrom Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhomeâs ethos (donât deplatform lawful speech), its allâin features for creators, and whatâs next on the product roadmap. ChadF traces the lineage from No Agenda to todayâs Podcast Index, explains the messy reality of wallets, Keysend vs LNURL, and why onboarding listeners is the real nut to crack. Max, Barry and ChadF also cover chapters and artwork as creative glue, treating your show like a business without expecting it to pay the bills, and why wordâofâmouth still grows the best shows. If you were ever wanting to start a podcast, then there's some really good advice to get going.ChadF closes with his recent âvibe codingâ builds, including a selfâhosted music player for The Doerfels and his StableKraft app that curates valueâforâvalue music into a proper listening experienceâall pushing the open, independent future we want to see.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ---->
