Phase 8 - The Plan

[daveajones]

I would like to be careful with Phase 8 and start with just two tags:

James's location enhancements - #668
NathanG's follow tag - #609

Hi Dave

We have implemented the new location tag as originally proposed by Daniel J Lewis and refined by James Cridland. Below are four recent episodes from Podnews Daily showing James' different recording locations. e.g https://truefans.fm/podnews-daily/671f5681d55de476b7cb4d4a

If you click the location tag we show it on a map but our next feature is to add multiple podcasts on a map so you can see podcasts nearby and filter by category.

Hi Dave

1. Podcast Person Multiple Roles.
   In TrueFans we have already enabled this feature. So a person can be a singer and songwriter or a person can be host and producer.

It is also essential we extend the person taxonomy as it is heavily focused on the podcast roles and not music or other roles. We have also extended the Person Taxomony in TrueFans to include songwriter, singer, AI, DJ (for musicasts), VJ (ValueJocks or VideoJocks) etc.

We have also added Person=AI so we can tag podcasts as AI. We have added an AI filter to the user settings to hide AI hosted podcasts/episodes similar to the way we filter out podcasts tagged explicit but only if the user chooses.

2. Podcast Pinning this tag seems to fall between the cracks every phase. TrueFans enabled this at the same time we enabled Podrolls. In our admin dashboard, we enabled podcast creators to have their trailer episode as the default pinned episode or to choose another episode to feature. Adding this to the RSS feed and host to build a similar UI would be simple. So if the podcaster does nothing then the trailer is the featured/pinned podcast episode but if the podcaster picks another episode then that is pinned to the top. So this could be a tag called pinned with a Remote Item to the featured/Pinned episode.

I hope this helps @daveajones grow Phase 8.
