Fantastic analysis and thoughts, Frank! I'm wondering if the PCD idea would gain enough traction? I'd like to think so, but much like Podcasting 2.0, it needs buy-in from all the key players for it to really take off and, at the moment, it's still mostly being driven by smaller, indie-developed apps. Sure, Apple now has chapters and transcript support, and Spotify kinda has chapters and transcripts (but not to the P2.0 format), but for other tags - funding, V4V, live, etc - they're still very much "no, not here".
Then you have the likes of a free hosting platform who also have the most popular podcasting app, who may just be going for numbers as opposed to overall quality, so they have no reason to enforce their podcasters to take part. So does the reticence of such a large player not taking part negate the involvement of those who do?
It's definitely an interesting premise, and completely see the value of it, it just feels - currently - there are too many disparate parts that would stop it from happening.
And we reference this awesome article of yours in tomorrow's episode of In & Around Podcasting! :)
