Sign Off comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of Podcasting 2.0, from June 2026 to August 2026, with guest John Spurlock.
Adam Curry announces an upcoming trip to the Netherlands to visit his granddaughter, noting he will continue the "board meeting" from there. The episode concludes with Dave Jones heading off to install a carburetor and a final sign-off for Podcasting 2.0.
The final discussion emphasizes that while the Index node is closing, the "boost" concept is not dead, as services like Alby Hub and Fountain continue to function. A key lesson learned is the necessity of separating payment metadata (the message and sender info) from the actual financial transaction to ensure messages are delivered even when payment methods vary. The hosts conclude the meeting by reaffirming their commitment to honest, human-led discussion about the future of the industry.
Adam Curry and Dave Jones thank John Spurlock for his contributions and sign off from the boardroom. They joke about Curry's "testosterone-fueled" big ideas and remind listeners to visit podcastindex.org for more information on the Podcasting 2.0 initiative.
