WEBVTT 0 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.234 >> Sam Sethi: Show notes, are in all apps. Others 1 00:00:03.322 --> 00:00:06.280 are 2.0 features Claire to enhance experiences 2 00:00:06.328 --> 00:00:09.288 for listeners. So you have chapters which allow you 3 00:00:09.312 --> 00:00:12.120 to break down the episode into smaller 4 00:00:12.168 --> 00:00:15.096 chunks. You have a transcript where you can see 5 00:00:15.136 --> 00:00:18.088 the text of the whole audio and you can 6 00:00:18.112 --> 00:00:21.046 follow along if you want. And you never 7 00:00:21.086 --> 00:00:23.926 know, I may even add more in the future. And knowing me, I 8 00:00:23.966 --> 00:00:25.078 probably will. 9 00:00:25.262 --> 00:00:27.266 >> Claire Waite Brown: I think you may do. 10 00:00:28.366 --> 00:00:31.220 Welcome to Fanzone, your bite sized guide to getting the 11 00:00:31.244 --> 00:00:33.986 most out of the TrueFans podcast app. In each 12 00:00:34.026 --> 00:00:36.994 episode we'll discuss an aspect of the app and 13 00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:39.842 hopefully answer any questions you may have about 14 00:00:39.914 --> 00:00:42.658 it. Plus, when you listen to fans, 15 00:00:42.722 --> 00:00:45.378 owning true fans you can earn as you 16 00:00:45.402 --> 00:00:48.306 listen and use your earnings to support your 17 00:00:48.346 --> 00:00:50.970 favourite podcasters. I'm Claire Waite 18 00:00:51.018 --> 00:00:53.850 Brown, independent podcaster and all round podcast 19 00:00:53.898 --> 00:00:54.634 enthusiast. 20 00:00:54.730 --> 00:00:57.226 >> Sam Sethi: And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder of 21 00:00:57.266 --> 00:00:58.126 TrueFans. 22 00:00:59.426 --> 00:01:01.706 >> Claire Waite Brown: Let's um, explore the 23 00:01:01.826 --> 00:01:04.650 TrueFans app at an episode 24 00:01:04.778 --> 00:01:07.546 level. So whether from the 25 00:01:07.586 --> 00:01:10.154 show screen which we talked about in episode 26 00:01:10.250 --> 00:01:13.066 six, so the previous episode, or 27 00:01:13.106 --> 00:01:15.498 the homepage which we discussed in episode 28 00:01:15.562 --> 00:01:18.032 five, if you click on the play 29 00:01:18.104 --> 00:01:20.832 button next to any episode, you will 30 00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:23.104 predictably play that episode. 31 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.984 FYI, that button will say resume. If you've 32 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.716 already started listening 33 00:01:28.776 --> 00:01:31.696 now, you will see at uh, the bottom of your screen what 34 00:01:31.736 --> 00:01:34.560 is known as the tray. And here 35 00:01:34.648 --> 00:01:37.616 you can adjust the play speed, you can 36 00:01:37.656 --> 00:01:40.576 skip forward or back and pause. All 37 00:01:40.616 --> 00:01:43.110 pretty standard stuff for playing a podcast 38 00:01:43.158 --> 00:01:46.118 episode. We'll talk about the other two icons in 39 00:01:46.142 --> 00:01:49.110 the tray towards the end of this episode. So 40 00:01:49.118 --> 00:01:51.894 basically with the tray there, you can continue to mooch 41 00:01:51.910 --> 00:01:54.678 around the app. You might be visiting different pages 42 00:01:54.742 --> 00:01:57.430 and shows while still listening to this episode. 43 00:01:57.558 --> 00:02:00.374 And the tray will remain at the bottom of your screen. 44 00:02:00.550 --> 00:02:03.542 Click on the podcast art in the tray 45 00:02:03.654 --> 00:02:05.846 and you'll be taken then to the full 46 00:02:05.966 --> 00:02:08.918 episode screen. So Sam, what am I 47 00:02:08.942 --> 00:02:11.126 going to see in this page? 48 00:02:11.626 --> 00:02:14.594 >> Sam Sethi: So you're on the episode page now, Claire, and you 49 00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:17.314 now get to see the episode cover art, 50 00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:20.338 which can be different to the podcast cover art, which 51 00:02:20.362 --> 00:02:23.202 is really lovely. And when we talk about 52 00:02:23.274 --> 00:02:26.274 chapters later on, that cover art will 53 00:02:26.330 --> 00:02:29.218 change if there is individual chapter art as 54 00:02:29.242 --> 00:02:31.970 well. Above that you also have 55 00:02:32.138 --> 00:02:35.106 a, uh, little text which says home or the 56 00:02:35.146 --> 00:02:37.968 name of the podcast show. And that's your navigation 57 00:02:38.122 --> 00:02:41.108 to take you back either to the show page 58 00:02:41.172 --> 00:02:44.052 or to the homepage. And then below 59 00:02:44.124 --> 00:02:47.092 that is all of the what we call metadata icons. 60 00:02:47.124 --> 00:02:49.796 So you'll see the number of times this podcast episode has been 61 00:02:49.836 --> 00:02:52.596 played. Maybe if anyone's left any Likes or 62 00:02:52.636 --> 00:02:55.412 comments if it has chapters or a video, 63 00:02:55.484 --> 00:02:58.452 or even in some cases the location tag, which again 64 00:02:58.524 --> 00:03:01.364 we will cover in a future episode. So lots of little bits 65 00:03:01.380 --> 00:03:04.056 of information there about that episode. 66 00:03:04.596 --> 00:03:07.356 >> Claire Waite Brown: Perfect. Which is why that can 67 00:03:07.396 --> 00:03:10.396 look different depending on what you're listening to, 68 00:03:10.436 --> 00:03:13.196 doesn't it? Because it depends how people have interacted with 69 00:03:13.236 --> 00:03:15.260 it and what shows up there. 70 00:03:15.348 --> 00:03:16.284 >> Sam Sethi: Exactly. 71 00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:19.244 >> Claire Waite Brown: Underneath the play button. 72 00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:22.252 Now, these icons don't change, so underneath 73 00:03:22.284 --> 00:03:25.212 the play button we've got some icons that the listener 74 00:03:25.244 --> 00:03:28.156 can use to do certain things. So can 75 00:03:28.196 --> 00:03:31.036 you tell me about those icons and what we can do with them? 76 00:03:31.036 --> 00:03:33.916 >> Sam Sethi: Um, the first one's a lovely heart and that's just 77 00:03:33.956 --> 00:03:36.908 a very quick sentiment that you can give back to the 78 00:03:36.932 --> 00:03:39.836 creator. I love this episode. Click on it and just 79 00:03:39.876 --> 00:03:42.604 give them a bit of a message back. After that 80 00:03:42.660 --> 00:03:45.046 you have playlists and playlists are, uh, 81 00:03:45.668 --> 00:03:48.460 very, very useful within Trufan. So 82 00:03:48.548 --> 00:03:51.436 you've got a playlist icon and you can add 83 00:03:51.476 --> 00:03:54.332 it to your default cube. You can 84 00:03:54.404 --> 00:03:56.972 add it to a play next if you want it to play 85 00:03:57.044 --> 00:03:59.784 instantly in the next episode after the one you're currently 86 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.296 listening to. And there's lots more. You can create your own 87 00:04:02.336 --> 00:04:05.224 playlist and you can go and look at the whole playlist view. 88 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.136 And I think we'll be doing a whole episode of Fanzone on 89 00:04:08.176 --> 00:04:11.064 Playlist to give you more detail. So the next one 90 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.120 is the comments icon. Um, when you click on that, it brings up 91 00:04:14.128 --> 00:04:16.936 a pop up and you can leave a little comment there very 92 00:04:16.976 --> 00:04:19.944 quickly. So you might want to say, hey, I love this show, 93 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.984 Claire. And equally you might want to add 94 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.770 some money to that. And if you add any micro 95 00:04:25.818 --> 00:04:28.698 payment to that, it becomes a super comment. A 96 00:04:28.722 --> 00:04:31.626 comment is free and a super comment is a payment with that 97 00:04:31.666 --> 00:04:34.410 comment. After that you get the streaming 98 00:04:34.458 --> 00:04:37.450 icon. And this is again where if you want to give 99 00:04:37.538 --> 00:04:40.474 the creator some money, you can do a per 100 00:04:40.530 --> 00:04:43.162 minute payment. So you might want to give them in a fiat 101 00:04:43.194 --> 00:04:45.770 currency, 1 cent or 1 102 00:04:45.858 --> 00:04:48.778 penny or 10 pence or whatever the amount you want 103 00:04:48.802 --> 00:04:49.446 to give. 104 00:04:50.396 --> 00:04:52.900 >> Claire Waite Brown: Just a reminder, we did speak about 105 00:04:52.988 --> 00:04:55.924 fiat currency and sats and just a bit 106 00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:58.724 more about the uh, monetary side of things 107 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.588 in episode four, which was our episode on the 108 00:05:01.612 --> 00:05:04.484 Wallet. So if you haven't listened to that, you might want to pop 109 00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:06.340 back. Thank you. 110 00:05:06.508 --> 00:05:09.364 >> Sam Sethi: And then the last icon, Claire, is a series 111 00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:12.228 of extra actions that you can do with this episode. 112 00:05:12.292 --> 00:05:14.964 So you can share this episode, you can 113 00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:17.976 download the audio, uh, you can even report it if you think 114 00:05:18.016 --> 00:05:20.952 there's something wrong with this episode. And we will get it flagged 115 00:05:20.984 --> 00:05:23.716 in our system and we will have a look at it for you. 116 00:05:24.336 --> 00:05:27.160 >> Claire Waite Brown: Brilliant. Thank you. When you scroll 117 00:05:27.208 --> 00:05:29.916 down a little bit, you'll see tabs again, uh, 118 00:05:29.916 --> 00:05:32.728 like you did in episode six, which was all 119 00:05:32.752 --> 00:05:35.416 about the show screen, which is the show as a whole. 120 00:05:35.576 --> 00:05:38.520 This time, of course, these tabs are specific 121 00:05:38.568 --> 00:05:40.996 to the episode you are listening to. 122 00:05:41.296 --> 00:05:43.676 What are these tabs all about, Sam? 123 00:05:44.086 --> 00:05:46.654 >> Sam Sethi: Show notes are in all apps. 124 00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:49.278 Others are, uh, 2.0 features, Claire, to 125 00:05:49.302 --> 00:05:51.902 enhance experiences for listeners. So you have 126 00:05:52.054 --> 00:05:54.606 chapters which allow you to break down the 127 00:05:54.646 --> 00:05:57.630 episode into smaller chunks. You have 128 00:05:57.718 --> 00:06:00.366 a transcript where you can see the text 129 00:06:00.526 --> 00:06:03.278 of the whole audio and you can follow along if you 130 00:06:03.302 --> 00:06:05.998 want. Notes are something that we've added, 131 00:06:06.102 --> 00:06:08.878 which is fairly unique to TrueFans at the moment. 132 00:06:08.942 --> 00:06:11.806 So you might be listening to a podcast and they talk about something 133 00:06:11.846 --> 00:06:14.578 and you want to create a private note to remind 134 00:06:14.642 --> 00:06:17.586 yourself. Or later on, you might want to even share your 135 00:06:17.626 --> 00:06:20.258 note so you can write. Those clips are 136 00:06:20.282 --> 00:06:22.898 equally very similar to notes, but they're an audio 137 00:06:22.962 --> 00:06:25.490 clip. So you can then say, oh, 138 00:06:25.618 --> 00:06:28.402 that section that Claire was talking about, I want to 139 00:06:28.474 --> 00:06:31.266 clip that up and I want to save that. But 140 00:06:31.306 --> 00:06:34.146 also maybe I want to share that to social 141 00:06:34.186 --> 00:06:37.138 media or email a friend with it. And so that works 142 00:06:37.202 --> 00:06:40.066 really easily. As you said, we can talk all about this in 143 00:06:40.106 --> 00:06:43.072 more detail in later episodes. And you never know, 144 00:06:43.144 --> 00:06:46.096 I may even add more in the future. And knowing me, I probably 145 00:06:46.176 --> 00:06:46.796 will. 146 00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:49.824 >> Claire Waite Brown: I think you may do. Brilliant. 147 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.768 No, that's all really exciting. That's all the, uh, fun stuff we 148 00:06:52.792 --> 00:06:55.536 can look forward to learning more about in 149 00:06:55.576 --> 00:06:58.496 future episodes. Before we finish up on this 150 00:06:58.536 --> 00:07:01.488 episode, I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, 151 00:07:01.552 --> 00:07:04.240 the other two icons in the tray, 152 00:07:04.368 --> 00:07:06.116 what are these all about, Sam? 153 00:07:06.616 --> 00:07:09.152 >> Sam Sethi: So the first one is playlists. So if 154 00:07:09.224 --> 00:07:12.064 you saved or added anything to your 155 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.880 current playlist, when you click on that icon, you will see 156 00:07:14.968 --> 00:07:17.968 the queue of all the items in your playlist. You 157 00:07:17.992 --> 00:07:20.912 can change those, you can remove certain items 158 00:07:20.944 --> 00:07:23.424 from the playlist. You can rename that playlist even. 159 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.346 >> Claire Waite Brown: Okay, so this little button in the, in the, uh, 160 00:07:26.346 --> 00:07:29.232 tray means that you can basically 161 00:07:29.344 --> 00:07:32.096 do some housekeeping with your playlists, even if 162 00:07:32.136 --> 00:07:35.072 you're not on the episode screen. So say you're looking at something 163 00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:37.776 else. You can still access your 164 00:07:37.816 --> 00:07:40.720 playlists from the tray. Okay, got it. And 165 00:07:40.728 --> 00:07:43.136 then there's another little icon for 166 00:07:43.176 --> 00:07:44.000 filters. 167 00:07:44.128 --> 00:07:46.752 >> Sam Sethi: Yeah, and the filter icon just gives you more 168 00:07:46.904 --> 00:07:49.568 options about what's going on. So if you wanted to 169 00:07:49.592 --> 00:07:52.512 quickly, uh, let's say you're listening to an episode but you're 170 00:07:52.544 --> 00:07:55.536 not on the episode page. But you want to go and look at 171 00:07:55.576 --> 00:07:58.528 the chapters, or you want to go and look at the transcript, or you 172 00:07:58.552 --> 00:08:01.104 want to write a private note related to that 173 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.792 episode, then you have options there. 174 00:08:03.944 --> 00:08:06.592 So again, most of the options are self 175 00:08:06.624 --> 00:08:09.518 explanatory. You have a heart icon, a chapter icon. There 176 00:08:09.542 --> 00:08:12.398 are a couple of extra icons on the mobile you 177 00:08:12.422 --> 00:08:15.278 will see. One is the wallet icon. So if you 178 00:08:15.302 --> 00:08:18.238 want to see how much is in your wallet still and how 179 00:08:18.262 --> 00:08:21.182 much you might be paying for the episode. So if you're 180 00:08:21.214 --> 00:08:24.142 paying nothing, that's not a problem. But you might go, oh, I wonder 181 00:08:24.174 --> 00:08:26.446 what I set as my default for this 182 00:08:26.486 --> 00:08:29.486 episode. Um, and you can very quickly check and change 183 00:08:29.526 --> 00:08:32.270 it there. And finally, if there is a video 184 00:08:32.358 --> 00:08:35.118 version of this podcast, you can switch 185 00:08:35.182 --> 00:08:37.966 between the audio and video and back again if you want 186 00:08:38.006 --> 00:08:38.542 to. 187 00:08:38.694 --> 00:08:39.656 >> Claire Waite Brown: Thank you so much Sam. 188 00:08:39.656 --> 00:08:41.346 >> Sam Sethi: Um, thanks Claire. 189 00:08:41.666 --> 00:08:44.218 >> Claire Waite Brown: Thanks so much for listening.
