The activity gives you a nice way of you having
a history, I guess, of your interactivity with
a podcast. Welcome to Fanzone, your bite -sized
guide to getting the most out of the TrueFans
podcast app. In each episode, we'll discuss an
aspect of the app and hopefully answer any questions
you may have about it. Plus... When you listen
to Fanzone on TrueFans, you can earn as you
listen and use your earnings to support your
favourite podcasters. I'm Claire Waite Brown,
independent podcaster and all -round podcast
enthusiast. And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder
of TrueFans. OK, we are looking at the tabs
that appear on the show screen of a podcast.
So these are tabs, got information in them relevant
to the whole podcast. The second tab on this
screen is called Activity. What will I find here,
Sam? So here in the activity, we are showing
you your activity with this podcast. So did you
leave a comment? Did you play an episode? Did
you become a fan? Did you share it with friends,
etc? The activity gives you a nice way of you
having a history, I guess, of your interactivity
with a podcast. And you can look at that in a
what we call card view. Equally, you can look
at that in a list view. Some people prefer card
views. Some people prefer list views. And also,
if you have friends that you are following in
TrueFans, you can go and see their activity.
with this podcast. So again, one way to say,
oh, look, Claire listened to that episode for
85%. Oh, that sounds like it's probably a good
episode to go and listen to because Claire gave
it a long time. I'll go and listen to that same
episode as well. So again, it's a nice way of
discovering through your friends what activity
they've done. Equally, your friends can discover
what you've done. Perfect. So the different views
and the yourself or your friend, those can be
accessed by the little boxes at the top, can't
they? Correct. Cool. So you can see what you've
been doing and also what your friends have been
doing. And then you've got a quick view at the
top with the metadata symbols that round up everything.
And then you can scroll down and see in more
detail who's done what. activity it will give
you a summary of the total time you've listened
to that podcast how much you've paid whether
you've earned something from that podcaster how
many times you've played that show if you've
left any comments etc and as we saw with the
episodes tab uh in the previous episode of Fan
zone you can also add filters to personalize
what you're seeing here can't you yeah again
when you click on the filters you get activity
and month and the activity will give you all
the verbs in the system we call them verbs activity
verbs so if you wanted to see when you became
a fan or if you just wanted to see all of the
times you've left a comment all the times you
left a rating or the times that you've played.
So you can filter by activity verb rather than
see every activity that you've done. And again,
there's a date filter, isn't there? Exactly.
So again, you might say, oh, I wonder how much
I listened to this podcast in January last year.
And you can go and get a number and see what
that is as well. And by the way, the metadata
will change based on your filter. So if you're
just looking at a particular month and a particular
verb, then the metadata will change to reflect
what you've filtered it by. Ah, got it. Thank
you. Thanks so much for listening. There are
lots more episodes of Fanzone for you to get
stuck into and that show you how to make the
most of the fab features that this forward -looking
podcast app has to offer podcast listeners and
creators alike. We'd love to hear from you. You
can send us a comment on TrueFans. More about
that in the Fanzone episode on comments or email
