00:00:06.039 --> 00:00:09.619
The activity gives you a nice way of you having

00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:12.960
a history, I guess, of your interactivity with

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.940
a podcast. Welcome to Fanzone, your bite -sized

00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:19.480
guide to getting the most out of the TrueFans

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.219
podcast app. In each episode, we'll discuss an

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:26.199
aspect of the app and hopefully answer any questions

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.710
you may have about it. Plus... When you listen

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.810
to Fanzone on TrueFans, you can earn as you

00:00:32.810 --> 00:00:35.750
listen and use your earnings to support your

00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:38.729
favourite podcasters. I'm Claire Waite Brown,

00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:41.130
independent podcaster and all -round podcast

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:44.450
enthusiast. And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder

00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:48.820
of TrueFans. OK, we are looking at the tabs

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:51.820
that appear on the show screen of a podcast.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.000
So these are tabs, got information in them relevant

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.719
to the whole podcast. The second tab on this

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.740
screen is called Activity. What will I find here,

00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.799
Sam? So here in the activity, we are showing

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.680
you your activity with this podcast. So did you

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.069
leave a comment? Did you play an episode? Did

00:01:13.069 --> 00:01:16.530
you become a fan? Did you share it with friends,

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:20.849
etc? The activity gives you a nice way of you

00:01:20.849 --> 00:01:23.769
having a history, I guess, of your interactivity

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:26.890
with a podcast. And you can look at that in a

00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:30.030
what we call card view. Equally, you can look

00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:32.430
at that in a list view. Some people prefer card

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:35.069
views. Some people prefer list views. And also,

00:01:35.090 --> 00:01:38.189
if you have friends that you are following in

00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:40.670
TrueFans, you can go and see their activity.

00:01:41.310 --> 00:01:44.930
with this podcast. So again, one way to say,

00:01:45.049 --> 00:01:49.230
oh, look, Claire listened to that episode for

00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.209
85%. Oh, that sounds like it's probably a good

00:01:52.209 --> 00:01:53.890
episode to go and listen to because Claire gave

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:56.170
it a long time. I'll go and listen to that same

00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:58.829
episode as well. So again, it's a nice way of

00:01:58.829 --> 00:02:01.629
discovering through your friends what activity

00:02:01.629 --> 00:02:04.650
they've done. Equally, your friends can discover

00:02:04.650 --> 00:02:08.729
what you've done. Perfect. So the different views

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:12.750
and the yourself or your friend, those can be

00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:15.430
accessed by the little boxes at the top, can't

00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:19.110
they? Correct. Cool. So you can see what you've

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:21.189
been doing and also what your friends have been

00:02:21.189 --> 00:02:23.430
doing. And then you've got a quick view at the

00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:28.710
top with the metadata symbols that round up everything.

00:02:28.889 --> 00:02:31.750
And then you can scroll down and see in more

00:02:31.750 --> 00:02:37.639
detail who's done what. activity it will give

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.379
you a summary of the total time you've listened

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:41.860
to that podcast how much you've paid whether

00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:44.620
you've earned something from that podcaster how

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:46.840
many times you've played that show if you've

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.879
left any comments etc and as we saw with the

00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:55.240
episodes tab uh in the previous episode of Fan

00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.460
zone you can also add filters to personalize

00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:02.159
what you're seeing here can't you yeah again

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.479
when you click on the filters you get activity

00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.819
and month and the activity will give you all

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:09.780
the verbs in the system we call them verbs activity

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:13.180
verbs so if you wanted to see when you became

00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:15.180
a fan or if you just wanted to see all of the

00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:17.719
times you've left a comment all the times you

00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.400
left a rating or the times that you've played.

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:23.740
So you can filter by activity verb rather than

00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:26.939
see every activity that you've done. And again,

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:30.120
there's a date filter, isn't there? Exactly.

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.860
So again, you might say, oh, I wonder how much

00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:36.379
I listened to this podcast in January last year.

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:39.020
And you can go and get a number and see what

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:41.080
that is as well. And by the way, the metadata

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.740
will change based on your filter. So if you're

00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:47.259
just looking at a particular month and a particular

00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:50.479
verb, then the metadata will change to reflect

00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.879
what you've filtered it by. Ah, got it. Thank

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.280
you. Thanks so much for listening. There are

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.719
lots more episodes of Fanzone for you to get

00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.219
stuck into and that show you how to make the

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:06.860
most of the fab features that this forward -looking

00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:10.400
podcast app has to offer podcast listeners and

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.590
