Podland News
August 27, 2022 10:19 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBWant to know about everything that is going on in Podcasting, then keep listening! In Ep #35 I am covering how James Cridland and Sam Sethi implement v4v on their show ‘Podland News’. The unique aspect they bring is their willingness to integrate themselves into every aspect of the P2.0 world and persist in the v4v model even when for a long time they weren’t particularly seeing the value coming back. A big shoutout to Petar The Everpresent, I appreciate him stupendously!
Te Invito A Podcast 2.0
August 20, 2022 09:37 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MB¡Podcasting 2.0 es excelente, maravilloso y fantastico! In Ep #34 I am covering how Robert Sasuke implements v4v on his multiple shows but in particular ‘Te Invito Un Café’ and ‘Esto Es Podcast 2.0’. The unique aspect that Robert brings is highlighting the value for value (valor por valor) model to a latino audience and his combination of this with other more traditional forms of the dreaded word ‘monetisation’ (bleh). A big shoutout to AbleKirby, Petar The Everpresent & This Is The Future...
Rare Encounter
August 13, 2022 03:31 - 24 minutes - 17 MBOnly the coolest of the cool go live! In Ep #33 I am covering how AbleKirby and coldacid implement v4v on his show ‘Rare Encounter’. The unique aspect that they bring is their commitment to going live. Creating a live podcast enables them to encourage more supporter contribution, provide instantaneous feedback of boosts and showcase why their show is different in their value for value pitch.
AMERICA+
August 06, 2022 03:37 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBYouthful energy is hitting v4v, but can it sustain itself? In Ep #32 I am covering how Cole McCormick runs v4v on his show ‘AMERICA+’. The unique aspect that Cole brings is his desire to set himself apart by becoming known as the guy who gave away the most Sats to his audience, as well as a willingness to go out of his way to onboard family and friends into the value for value world.
Podcasting 4 Value
July 30, 2022 10:02 - 20 minutes - 14 MBOne idiot’s attempt at starting a Value 4 Value podcast. In Ep #31 I am covering how Joshua Dennis runs v4v on his show ’Podcasting 4 Value. The unique aspect that Josh brings is his willingness to dive deep into the tech weeds and be not afraid of running with multiple IPFS scissors in each hand. He also has a cool way of promoting his show called ‘Satvertising’, which is incidentally how I found out about it in the first place.
The Intergalactic Boom Box
July 23, 2022 09:01 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBKeeping yourself entertained will never be impossible for this show! In Ep #30 I am covering how Kyle Hebert runs v4v on his show ‘The Intergalactic Boom Box’. The unique aspect that Kyle brings (outside of voice acting a multi-part convo with himself) is giving an easy prompt to boost in with his question of the week and to show appreciation for the feedback whilst still keeping it short and sharp to match his show style.
Behind The Sch3m3s
July 16, 2022 02:31 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBMixing the wild and weird with an amazing all round effort! In Ep #29 I am covering how BooBurry and Lavish run v4v on their show ‘Behind The Sch3m3s’. The unique aspect that they bring is the outstanding adoption of almost all the new P2.0 tags. This brings a variety to the show that I haven’t really seen elsewhere. They also make some decisions (which may or may not be strategic) that I think could have an incentivising effect on how people listen and boost.
No Agenda
July 09, 2022 04:40 - 33 minutes - 23 MBIn the morning, let’s learn about where value for value first originated from! In Ep #28 I am covering how Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak utilise v4v on their show ‘No Agenda’. The unique aspect that they bring is that they bloody invented the model! So basically everything they do is unique. What I really think sets them apart though is the effort they spend in creating an amazing presentation for Producers who reach the next level of royalty (i.e., the knighthood ceremony) as well as the m...
Mere Mortals
July 02, 2022 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBShameless self promotion alert, weeoooweeeeoooooo. In Ep #27 I am covering how I myself use v4v on my main show ‘Mere Mortals’. The unique aspect that myself and my cohost Juan bring are that we really try and increase the quality of our show through the new Podcasting 2.0 tags and giving actionable advice on how to support. I also try to change the pitch every episode and link in to what we were talking about so that it doesn’t become stale and repetitive. Mere Mortals: https://www.meremo...
The Claudcast
June 24, 2022 19:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBNew ideas and written word in an audio format that you just won’t find elsewhere. In Ep #26 we are covering how Claudiu Chereji uses v4v on his show ‘The Claudcast’. Claudiu reads out niche documents/books whilst also fleshing out his own ideas in monologues. A unique pitch he makes his how you will be unlikely to find these written words in any other audio form and also highlights why one needs to be considerate on how they attract attention to their show and garner feedback.
The SLIEK Podcast
June 18, 2022 07:08 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MBI hope you're feeling freaky because today we're diving into the esoteric. In Ep #25 we’re covering how Brando Sellers and Jake Hider use v4v on their show ’The SLIEK Podcast'. A unique aspect they bring is the implementation of leaderboard, showing who has donated and how much. With increasing donation thresholds supporters are rewarded with cool merch and the leader being crowned 'The Lizard King'. Apart from that these guys use almost all the P2.0 tags and are super proactive in spreadin...
The Secular Foxhole
June 11, 2022 03:18 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBDoes all philosophical thought lead to the value for value way? In Ep #24 we’re covering how Blair Schofield & Martin Lindeskog use v4v on their show ‘The Secular Foxhole’. One unique aspect they brought was to put themselves in a new listeners shoes and really help them in the process of being able to support the show. This took the form a step by step breakdown from start to finish of getting a decent podcasting app (in this case Fountain), acquiring satoshis and being able to stream them...
Bowl After Bowl
June 04, 2022 09:34 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBWe’re getting LIT ….. and I’m not just talking about the Live Item Tag. In Ep #23 we’re covering how Sir Spencer and Dame DuhLaurien use v4v on their show ‘Bowl After Bowl’. The unique aspect they bring is that they translate a concept their listeners would understand already and apply this to the idea of supporting. In particular the weed/marijuana concept of ‘passing the bowl’ and how this mentality is closely aligned with the value for value model. Very cool!
Lifespring! Family Audio Bible
May 28, 2022 01:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBHow can you implement the V4V model if you have a daily podcast? In Ep #22 we dive into ‘Lifespring! Family Audio Bible’ with Steve Webb (aka The Godcaster). Due to his daily episodes we see how he structures the feedback portion to be shorter and more adaptable, why the V4V model is especially pertinent to minority groups (or those who have been persecuted in the past) and how he has adapted many of the tried and tested ‘No Agenda’ techniques into his support requests.
Fun Fact Friday With Leila And David
May 21, 2022 02:06 - 25 minutes - 17.2 MBHow can you source unique content for your show from listeners? In Ep #21 we dive into ‘Fun Fact Friday With Leila And David’ and see how they have implemented so many P2.0 tags, why your show doesn’t need to run forever to ask for value in return, joining communities where V4V is already understood and continually repeating the message inside your own show.
Podcasting 2.0
May 14, 2022 03:24 - 20 minutes - 14 MBIn Ep #20 we examine the presentation of the Podfather himself (Adam Curry) aided by the Podsage (Dave Jones). P2.0 is spearheading the innovations in podcasting and also the methods of implementing the V4V model (which Adam helped create). A key takeaway from this episode was the need to include the listener feedback into your show, it just doesn’t work without it!
Back In Action Baby
May 07, 2022 01:39 - 6 minutes - 4.55 MBAfter a 5 month break I'm back at it again. In #19 of Season 2 I explain my new purpose for the V4V podcast and my thoughts on how the new format will go for the time being (absolutely liable to change)!
Mission Accomplished .... For Now
December 15, 2021 19:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBAnd so closes the chapter on this version of the Value For Value podcast. In Ep #18 I go over how I feel I've finished my original inspiration and mission for the podcast, why this has been so influential in my recent chat with the Podfather (Adam Curry), why 2.0 is the most exciting place for innovation, my reasoning for stopping the podcast for the moment plus some stats and big thankyou's to everyone who contributed!

V4V's Greatest Hits
December 08, 2021 19:00 - 12 minutes - 8.97 MBWhat’s the most important parts of the Value For Value model? In Ep #17 I’m doing a recap of what I have really learnt and how this philosophy should be thought through. Some highlights include: the 3T’s (time/talent/treasure), subjective price discovery, play to pay, free isn’t free and the most important; you need to ask for support (people aren’t mind readers).
Some V4V Podcast Recommendations
December 01, 2021 19:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBWant to know which podcasts are doing V4V? In Ep #16 I will be going over some podcasts that I believe are doing a good job of showcasing value for value. I of course plug my own and Adam Curry’s but also highlight some others which include (and is not exhaustive off all there are): AbleKraft, Podland News and other No Agenda podcast spinoffs. I also explain some strategic decision on why I will be spending my time on some podcasting aspects and not on others.
The Value Of Tough Love
November 24, 2021 19:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBWe need to have a serious chat today, I’m laying down the law! In Ep #15 we’re examining if you need to be tough with your listeners to get them to participate in v4v? This question came from the origins of v4v coined from Adam Curry. I suggest some rules of thumb to help answer it before ending off with the latest news from Podcasting 2.0 and the interview with Franco Solerio.
V4V Is Going Worldwide
November 17, 2021 19:00 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBBienvenidos damas y caballeros, welcome ladies & gentlemen. In Ep #14 we are looking at whether the value for value model is possible for everybody or if you have to be a certain person in a certain place to make it work. I argue that it has already proved to be a worldwide message that has not only transcended country boundaries, but has also broken past the language barrier. Very cool stuff. The boostagram lounge has also made a reappearance thanks to Sir Twin Screw (which I pronounced wr...
Resting On Your Laurels: Why incentives matter and knowing that you are judged on your latest effort
November 11, 2021 06:00 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MBAre you really putting the required effort into your latest piece of content? Can you look back and it and be proud? Do you feel you deserve something from it even if it isn't your best work? In Ep #13 we're looking at resting on your laurels and why a sense of entitlement can creep in if you're expecting 'passive income' from your creations. I'm not totally against the mesh between V4V and passive income but expecting continual value in return from a podcast/blog/music you're barely mainta...
What V4V ISN'T
November 03, 2021 19:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBLet’s do some linguistic semantics! In Ep #12 I’m differentiating some things that might superficially look like Value For Value (and may contain some elements of it) but are actually rather different. Subscriptions, paywalls/exclusive content, crowdfunding/donations/tips and everything advertising related all fall under this banner. V4V has some core value such as continuous feedback, upfront giving, direct interaction and lack of automaticity that when combined form a solid and coherent m...
Don't Limit Your Listenership
October 27, 2021 19:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBAre you artificially capping your audience for no good reason? In Ep#11 I’m exploring my personal philosophy with regards to my podcasts, which is that they should be as accessible as possible for everyone who wants to join in. I’ve constantly been surprised by who I attract in, as was Erika from The Balance Theory who also noticed the same phenomena. I connect this to V4V by explaining how an engaged listener will invariably give back, no matter their race, creed or gender.
Why Value Doesn't Mean 'Money'
October 20, 2021 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9.2 MBI quite dislike the word ‘monetisation’. In Ep #10 we’re having a dive into why value should not be synonymous with money, and that they are actually completely different concepts. Is linking every activity and everything to money a good idea? What actually matters to you? How can we make money exit the conversation? Big thanks to Chad F and Oscar Merry for helping to support the show, very much appreciated!
True Value Requires Subjective Price Discovery
October 13, 2021 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9.26 MBWhat is the true value of something? In Ep #9 we are exploring the idea of price discovery and how this can be applied to your product, idea, show, podcast, art, etc etc. When you allow someone to choose for themselves the value, you might be surprised at how high they will set that limit (as long as you are asking them to choose and think about it). When limits and artificial restriction in the form of paywalls or mandatory pricing is introduced, this can really distort they way someone wi...
Think Of Yourself As A Public Institution - Why having permanent funds can alienate you from your support
October 06, 2021 19:00 - 12 minutes - 8.68 MBYes that's right, turn yourself into a school or building! In Ep #8 I was inspired by a passage I read in M.K Gandhi's autobiography on why having a reliable, permanently fixed and disconnected source of funds can actually be bad for you. It can make you lose touch with the public support that is essential to fulfilling your real, deeper, higher purpose. The V4V model is all about closing the loop and connecting with those people gaining value from your show/product/art, hence why boostagra...
The Frustrations Of Donations: Have you ever bought something you didn't need (or even want) just to show some love?
September 29, 2021 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9.43 MBIn Ep #7 I explore why donating right now can be a pain in the ass and how this might change in the future. I recount some personal experiences trying to give value to people who deserve it but had an annoying time doing this. However, with the value for value model and the technology behind cryptocurrencies this is making it easier to donate and to change the mentality behind donations. Boostagram shoutout to Oscar Merry from Fountain.FM (a Podcasting 2.0 app) that gave some value to the ...

Vibing Via Small Stepping Stones
September 22, 2021 19:00 - 12 minutes - 8.38 MBBing bong bing oooooooohh. In Ep #6 we’re exploring the topic of vibing. I recently had a chat with Erika from The Balance Theory and she brought up how small connections can create a vibe, a unique atmosphere shared between the podcaster and their guest or listener. I expand upon that analogy of crossing a river and how each stone is a connection that adds to the experience, before finishing off with some boostagrams and an actionable takeaway to implement for yourself.
The Fine Dining Experience Of V4V
September 15, 2021 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9.59 MBMe, N U baby. On Ep #5 we’ll be examining why the V4V model can be thought of as a fine dining experience. Dave Jones gives us his thoughts on this analogy and I deconstruct how value is tied to ‘feeling’, why one party must make the first move by providing value from the get go and how expectation of receiving value can change across cultures.
Free ISN'T Free
September 08, 2021 19:00 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MBThere is always a cost, so how are you paying it? In Ep #4 I examine the topic of free, first taking a dive into the definition of the word and how we can get confused about objects/services that appear to be financially ‘free’. There seems to be a problem with scale where a company as it grows larger will inevitably focus upon money as its primary goal (not a great motive) and the cost that a customer pays can get hidden (lack of transparency). To combat any negative effects from this I sh...
Giving Value: A Case Study
September 01, 2021 19:00 - 14 minutes - 9.72 MBWhat’s a practical example of giving value? Before I ever heard of the Value For Value model I was reviewing random podcasters and leaving them a nice message. This was influenced by a kind message I received during my first 3 months of podcasting and was an opportunity for me to pay that forward. I eventually turned this into a strategic way to create a community and I ended up receiving rewards for this in totally unexpected manners. So this is an encouragement (and example) from my own st...
Connections That Leave You Saying .... Damn
August 25, 2021 22:15 - 9 minutes - 6.28 MBIn Ep #2 we take a look from this side of the mic. What does it feel like talking into the void as a new podcaster? The answer is a mix of relief and sadness. Relief because your crappy show is not being judged by the whole world, and sadness in that you’re not sure if what you are doing is worth anything at all. I’ve taken a snippet from a recent convo I had with Pete Smissen from the Aussie English podcast and he helps explain why a simple email can actually make a huge difference.
What Is Value For Value?
August 19, 2021 19:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBWelcome to the 1st episode of the Value For Value podcast (or as I will occasionally shorten to: v4v). This is the podcast for independent podcasters/artists/musicians/etc who want to find a way to earn a living without having to rely on the somewhat corrupting influence of advertising or setting up paywalls to block off a portion of your supporters. It is also an experiment for myself to try out the new Podcasting 2.0 tags and see if I can myself walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
