PCR143 – Welding the Bridge with ChadF

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.

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.
