I think I solveD one oF podcasting’s problems: subscriptions. After building ProxyFeed, I started writing a book about podcasting. Still in progress. While writing it, I had an interesting idea. Exploring it, I accidentally stumbled into something unexpected. Subscribing to podcasts will be easy.

Update: Today I launched the first demo. And it works exactly the way I designed it. One step to subscribe to a podcast. The same way you follow someone on Instagram or subscribe on YouTube. Finally.

Yesterday I was looking for a list of “programmer’s bibles” — ended up downloading two classics. Started reading them and honestly... can’t put them down: The Twelve-Factor App and The Pragmatic Programmer.

The actual first podcast was a Grateful Dead song in 2001 which I used to test Radio UserLand which was the first software to implement podcasting. There's a film documentary coming out soon and I believe they have a bit about that, so maybe that'll get on the record. :-)

When I was building @proxyfeed.io, I tested it on my own feeds. Now that new feeds are coming in — ones I didn’t create myself — I discovered that ProxyFeed wasn’t setting the correct <atom:link>. Fixed: now the <atom:link> correctly points to the ProxyFeed URL instead of the original feed.

I also found that some feeds contain <itunes:new-feed-url>. For now, we’re just removing that tag by default — but we plan to implement proper logic for it in the future.

You are up to date.
