Type definition for podcast episode?

[erangell]

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone created a type definition for a podcast episode with an array of tags. I have a need to organize a bunch of audio files on archive.org for a simple display on a wordpress page with filtering by tags and sorting by date of recording descending. I'm thinking that UG would help with this and can be used to generate multiple RSS feeds from the same material by filtering on the tags.

Hey @erangell

I'm still figuring out some broader ecosystem design questions, but this is something I want to do. Could you spec out your exact requirements for podcasts in general, in something that's easy to scan? Eg taking what you wrote, I might do:

• Podcast type (hyperdrive) contains multiple episode files
• Podcast drive metadata:
  • Title
  • Description
  • Author
• Podcast episode metadata
  • Title
  • Description
  • Tags
  • Date recorded

So if you could just expand on that till you feel it's complete? Cheers!

@erangell @pfrazee I've thought about this sort of thing for podcasts, and started this demo podcast map for Team Human. https://kumu.io/TeamHuman/content based on that (not tagged up yet, though). I have long thought that the SDG targets might be a good initial tagging framework, especially if they could be overlaid based on keywords from episode notes, including "folksonomy" tags.

Happy to discuss on a call if interested.

Thanks Christina - Team Human is an excellent use case for this Unwalled Garden podcast functionality. I proposed arrays for both author-defined tags, which cannot be changed by the community, and community tags which can be used to create a folksonomy. This would allow the creation of multiple feeds from the same content for different purposes by creating query files for each episode selection rule.

Adding a sample complex RSS feed generated by Libsyn.
I don't imagine UG supporting this level of complexity - let's see how users adopt it first.
