@canion Thanks! It is more fun than I expected to add audio sometimes! Kind of a sneaky way to have a podcast without really trying.

@manton I think this with listening to podcasts all the time too. I’ve been trying to got bare eared and bare footed on my dog walks. stollerys.co.uk/2024/05/fourte

It’s amazing what the brain can do when it’s not being distracted by other people’s thoughts.

@phils It's a great point, when walking is usually when my mind wanders. (That bird app looks really cool too!)

@manton Related, how would one discover the podcast feed for these blogcasts to listen to them in a podcast player?

@manton I can't wait to try it out this coming week-end!

@jarrod Currently the author would need to link to /podcast.xml and register it in the Apple podcast directory and elsewhere. We do include the metadata to discover the feed, but I'm not sure if most podcast apps handle that well.

@manton Aha, thanks!

A smartphone screen displays a profile with a man's photo, name "Manton Reece," a website URL "MANTON.ORG," and a bio stating creation of Micro.blog and two podcasts. Below are podcast episode options with play controls.

@jarrod Oh nice! I hadn't even tested that with my own blog, glad it works! 🙂

@manton Pretty cool too that it contains the full blog post in the show notes. Overcast, at least, renders it well.

@manton It works in Pocket Casts too and also includes the post text. 👍 The avatar isn’t included in the list of one’s subscriptions, just your name, but does show up in detail views.

@manton As blogging veteran Dave Winer once said, a blog is simply “the unedited voice of a person”. Thanks for bringing this vision another step closer! I’m really looking forward to trying out the new audio feature.
