PCR143 – Welding the Bridge with ChadF

<p>In this episode, Chad F joins the show to dismantle the false dichotomy between the "ancient scrolls" of RSS and the high-speed relays of Nostr. As a longtime Podcasting 2.0 + V4V operator (and “welcoming committee” booster), Chad traces the arc from No Agenda’s time-talent-treasure model through the Alex Jones deplatforming moment that helped catalyze Podcast Index, and onward into Lightning-powered media.</p> <p>The conversation dives deep into the practical challenges of this union, specifically regarding music curation and the decentralized "discovery problem". Chad and Avi explore the concept of a "Contextual Web of Trust" to replace algorithmic feeds and discuss the technical friction between Keysend and LNURL that hinders artist onboarding. Ultimately, Chad calls for a proliferation of new apps – "more Fountains, more Wavlakes, more StableKrafts" – to give creators true independence from centralized platforms.</p> <p><strong>Song of the Week:</strong> "<a href="https://fountain.fm/track/sXtKFiK7sXB6aNt0yz1h">Everything Will Fall In Its Place</a>" by <em>Look Ma No Cavities</em>.</p> <p><a href="https://stablekraft.app/">Stablekraft</a></p> <p><a href="https://v4vmusic.com/">V4VMusic.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/July-18-Avi-Burra/dp/B0G12PPTCM">Avi's New Book – July 18</a></p> <p><a href="https://indeehub.studio/film/finding-home/season/1/episode/2">Finding Home Episode 2</a> [IndeeHub Code For 21% off: <strong>PIONEERCHAIN21</strong> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/24-Avi-Burra/dp/B0CN9NRNNB/ref=sr*1*1?crid=27RW9P8JQ4YMV&keywords=avi+burra+24&qid=1700327391&sprefix=avi+burra+24%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1%5D(https://www.amazon.com/24-Avi-Burra/dp/B0CN9NRNNB/ref=sr11?crid=27RW9P8JQ4YMV&keywords=avi+burra+24&qid=1700327391&sprefix=avi+burra+24%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1">Avi's First Book – 24 (2nd Edition)</a></p>
