This is a very important strategic project for Hive.
There are manifold synergies between Podcasting and Hive.
Both are full of creators, both are decentralized, but Podcasting uses very old web 1.0 technology and is under threat by the centralizing, censoring forces of Web 2.0 Big Tech.
We have the opportunity to both rescue Podcasting from being eaten by Big Tech and teleport it direct from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0 tech.
This will drive huge numbers of new creators to Hive as well as expose a large number of developers completely outside the blockchain space to the technical brilliance of the Hive blockchain.
Its a marriage made in heaven and @brianoflondon is both the matchmaker and the wedding planner.
It is amazing how he has re-taught himself to code and has produced not just proof of concepts but the operational working code to do this in such a short time.
This proposal deserves the support of everyone who cares about the future of Hive, decentralization and freedom on the internet.
Thank you for bringing me to Hive in the first place, I actually feel like I'm building something useful here and which I have a real stake in which can't be yanked away from me.
I'm very pleased to be able to put in this effort for the benefit of the whole system.
