WEBVTT 00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:09.259 And then we decided that we would grab all those 00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:12.419 external social media comments and bring it all 00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:14.980 together in one page. And it makes it much more 00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:17.399 interesting when you can see the full conversation 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.399 from various different places all in one page. 00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:23.710 You know, Claire, when you suddenly get that, 00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:26.690 oh, that's great, a reference to, I don't know, 00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:28.850 a film or a book or something you want to look 00:00:28.850 --> 00:00:31.789 up later or just a memorable comment that was 00:00:31.789 --> 00:00:36.329 made by somebody in the actual audio, well, you 00:00:36.329 --> 00:00:39.609 can now write your own private notes. Welcome 00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:42.229 to Fanzone, your bite -sized guide to getting 00:00:42.229 --> 00:00:45.679 the most out of the TrueFans podcast app. In 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.280 each episode, we'll discuss an aspect of the 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.200 app and hopefully answer any questions you may 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.700 have about it. Plus, when you listen to Fanzone 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:58.039 in TrueFans, you can earn as you listen and 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.380 use your earnings to support your favourite podcasters. 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.340 I'm Claire Waite Brown, independent podcaster 00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:07.260 and all -round podcast enthusiast. And I'm Sam 00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:11.540 Sethi, the CEO and founder of TrueFans. We are 00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:15.659 working our way across the tabs on the episode 00:01:15.659 --> 00:01:18.620 screen. Listen back to Episode 7 if you're not 00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:22.420 sure what I mean by the episode screen. We have 00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:26.739 spoken about the next tab before. This tab is 00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:29.340 labelled Comments and I'm assuming it relates 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.439 to the comments icons that we spoke about in 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.420 Episode 10. Is it like an amalgamation of what 00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:41.359 you can do with comments on that tab, Sam? Yeah. 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.819 What we've done recently is allow you to write 00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:49.000 a comment on that tab. You might want to have 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.599 a reply to someone else's comment, which you 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.099 can do on that page and that tab. Equally, we 00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:58.980 are now pulling in comments from social media 00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:04.120 apps, so from Bluesky, from X, and from... activity 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.340 pub clients like Mastodon and the reason we want 00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:11.580 to do that is because people are enabling podcast 00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:14.699 creators to put a link to a social media post 00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:17.699 which says if you want to write a comment about 00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:21.379 my episode leave it here and then we decided 00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:24.180 that we would grab all those external social 00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:27.000 media comments and bring it all together in one 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.620 page and it makes it much more interesting when 00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:32.319 you can see the full conversation from various 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.930 different places. all in one page. Brilliant. 00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:38.250 So you're going to be able to see comments. I'm 00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:40.310 just making sure I've got this clear. You're 00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:42.409 going to be able to see comments that have been 00:02:42.409 --> 00:02:45.129 made in TrueFans, but also comments that have 00:02:45.129 --> 00:02:49.229 been made on relevant social, associated social 00:02:49.229 --> 00:02:54.610 media accounts. Correct. Cool. We will no doubt 00:02:54.610 --> 00:02:59.229 speak in more detail about the connection in 00:02:59.229 --> 00:03:03.060 future episodes. Moving along the tabs again, 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.479 this is an intriguing one. The next tab is called 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:12.680 Notes. What can I do here? Well, notes are private 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.319 notes just for you. And so what we wanted to 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.919 do was allow you, while you're listening to a 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.259 podcast, you know, Claire, when you suddenly 00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.419 get that, oh, that's great, a reference to, I 00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:26.479 don't know, a film or a book or something you 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.520 want to look up later or just a memorable comment 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.960 that was made by... somebody in the actual um 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.659 audio well you can now write your own private 00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:38.319 notes and then when you go back to that episode 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.800 maybe a week month even a year later you might 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.819 go oh let me look at my notes and what did i 00:03:43.819 --> 00:03:46.560 write oh that that reminds me yes that's what 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.819 i was thinking and you can timestamp the notes 00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:54.439 specifically as well you can timestamp the notes 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.379 you can actually copy those notes as well we 00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:02.539 are in a future version of the notes we will 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:05.280 make a toggle button to allow you to turn those 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.300 from private notes which they currently are into 00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:11.699 public notes like comments really and that will 00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:13.900 allow you to then share them socially as well 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:16.060 so that when somebody clicks on that social link 00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:18.600 they can actually see your note at the moment 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.839 if you shared them the link would then go to 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.939 a blank page because they're still private to 00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:26.060 you Got it. So what we've got here is if you 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:30.500 comment, then you are writing a comment to the 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:33.339 podcast. It will be seen by anybody that listens 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:37.240 to that podcast and by the podcaster. If you 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.300 write a note, that is a note for yourself. It's 00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:42.720 something private that you want to just like 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.860 mark about the audio. And if you want to in the 00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:50.339 future, you can share that. But right now, that's 00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:52.100 just a note for yourself. And that's the difference 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:55.519 between those two. commands. And talking about 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.759 transcripts as we did previously, you will actually 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.120 also in that future update to the private notes 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.199 be able to highlight a section of a transcript 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.180 and turn that into a note as well. So you might 00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:10.079 want to highlight some text and then add your 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.500 own words around that text rather than type it 00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:15.180 all out from scratch. Brilliant. Makes absolute 00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:17.540 sense. Thank you so much, Sam. Thanks, Claire. 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.860 Thanks so much for listening. There are lots 00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:23.199 more episodes of Fanzone for you to get stuck 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.000 into and that show you how to make the most of 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.579 the fab features that this forward -looking podcast 00:05:28.579 --> 00:05:32.139 app has to offer podcast listeners and creators 00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:35.300 alike. We'd love to hear from you. You can send 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:38.319 us a comment on TrueFans, more about that in 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.800 the Fanzone episode on comments, or email support@ 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.160 truefans .fm.
