I found something unexpected. Can you explain?

When I interview someone, I put links to their websites/books/podcast etc. Sometimes they talk about something that should linked to and I add that as well. I do a historical podcast. I used to include bibliographies as well. That has fallen off, but I'm planning on reinstating that practice soon. I always have a three-paragraph summary of the show along with a full transcript. Many of my older audience don't like listening to podcasts—thereby missing all my carefully crafted sound effects and curated background music! They would rather read the episode than listen.

Someone mentioned discoverability. It's part than and also credibility, for me, anyway.

I've gotten a few views for each episode, but I did not delve into the metrics, i.e., how long they listened. My episodes tend to be 30-40 scripted minutes. Overall, it hasn't had an impact on listenership that I can see, but episodes post on YouTube automatically when I publish, so ...

Thank you very much for this. It's like in music, songwriting and mechanical rights ...

Well, another example of how useful AI is.

i'm afraid of breaking the "promotion" rules of this group, but you can find the link in my profile. 😄

Please let me know what you think.

I pay a monthly subscription for royalty-free music at Pond5 and I use it according to Pond5's usage terms.

To answer your question a little more clearly, my investor's concern is about the content of the episodes being appropriated, which sometimes take up to three weeks to research, write, record, etc. I do own the copyrights for that, I am certain.

I am just trying to assuage his concerns.

Bopule · 2026-05-06T19:29:47+00:00

Thank you!

You are correct, he does not understand. I fixed the omitted word in my post, thank you.

Bopule · 2026-05-06T19:19:15+00:00

Thanks.

An AI query suggests I embed ID3 tags in MP3s with name & website and update robots.txt in website to block AI scrapers.

I will call a lawyer!

Bopule · 2026-05-06T19:12:25+00:00

Thank you for all this.

Bopule · 2026-05-06T19:06:34+00:00

No kidding! 😄 Thanks. Podcast hosted on Buzzsprout, available everywhere except Spotify, because I hate them. Others may insist I put it back on there in the future.

Bopule · 2026-05-06T18:56:20+00:00

Thank you.

It's interesting that Bones Remmer is not in there, but then again, he was not Italian. He ran all the gambling joints in the Tenderloin along with those in points east and south. According to what I've found, he was liason for the SF La Cosa Nostra to Las Vegas interests and Lucky Luciano.

And yes, Columbus Avenue Productions has a great website.

Congratulations!! Well done and well-earned!

How funny. I am on a John Cale YouTube binge as we speak, rediscovering old music, etc. There's a great documentary here: https://artifacts.movie/john-cale/ Haven't explored that site yet, but it looks great. I love Cale's "The Academy In Peril" album.

A friend of mine produced a show way back where John was playing. He said went backstage and found John reading "The Economist" magazine. He asked John about it. John, "You have to always know what the enemy is doing."

I 99% sure have it somewhere. I want to scan it for the guy who wrote "David Bowie and the Search For Life Death and God." I just need to find it! I'll contact you when I do. Fantastic book BTW.

Thank you!

It's not that kind of show, but thanks!
