PodDB next version update planned for 1/1/2023

PodDB next version update planned for 1/1/2023


The next version of PodDB would be released on 1/1/2023. This release has no major visible changes. The features planned are more of internal and making the website more search engine friendly.

1) Allow metadata of podcast feeds to have versioning so that in case of any data corruption, it would be easy to rollback to previous metadata. - Purely internal with no changes to functionality.

2) Generate sitemaps with links for all the available podcasts and submit the sitemaps to Google and Bing. - No visible changes but more search engine friendly.

3) Optional i.e haven't decided if I want to implement this yet or not, this is a may be feature - Support for Bing Index Now protocol i.e instead of waiting for search engines to discover if a web page has been updated or not, telling the search engine whenever a webpage is updated. As of now, Bing supports Index Now protocol, Google does not support Index Now yet. 


In the year 2023, 15 - 20 minor incremental updates are planned. Most of the updates during Q1 and Q2 would be internal, security, monitoring, failover, observability related. I might share some code snippets, some security best practices, some live coding sessions etc...


Running a one person company amongst a bunch of wannabe R&AW dawgs is a daunting task. List of R&AW dawgs - uttam, thota's, bandhavi, sowmya, zinnabathuni sowjanya, srinivas, thota veera, mukesh golla, erra's, diwakar, karan, kamalakar, bojja's etc... and whatever shivani, I don't know her, I did meet a certain shivani who is British citizen of Indian origin in a dating event, the other Indian shivani might be a blue rut... Almost all of the above mentioned are blue rut.


They are left minded anyway, right minded would rather focus their energy and time in productive manner, these left minded people have rather chose to impersonate making their lives miserable and trying to make my life miserable. They have begged, borrowed and I guess now they are in stealing mode, pathetic losers.

        In a earlier blog post - PodDB version 0.2.1 coming soon!, I have mentioned an update for PodDB - A free search engine and directory for podcasts would be happening. I thought why not live stream and show my AWS account, how I secure my AWS account from hackers using Yubikey Bio i.e biometric authentication. I might even show you some of the code base and kind of an architectural overview and the different decisions made for horizontal and vertical scalability. If you are a I.T enthusiast / developer / lead developer / architect, irrespective of the programming language you might find this video interesting and might be a great chance to raise questions / discuss. I am open for technical conversations. The youtube URL would be - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AleiDRXG9WU on December 3rd at 11:00 GMT.

PodDB version 0.2.1 coming soon!

PodDB version 0.2.1 coming soon!


PodDB version 0.2.1 would be released on December 3rd. This version has a minor visible feature update. If there are any related podcasts, links to the related podcasts would be displayed on the details page. Dabbled little into Data Science techniques for keyword extraction. 

Thanks to the excellent 2 contributors of https://github.com/benmcevoy/Rake - a C# implementation of the Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction. This tool has been used for extracting keywords and then finding relevant podcasts. Once again many many thanks to the two contributors.

PodDB version 0.2 released

PodDB version 0.2 released


As mentioned in an earlier blog post - PodDB version 0.2 to be released on 6/11/2022, the version 0.2 has been released. The website was unavailable intermittently, even had to do a complete rollback and redeployed.


Externally Visible Features:

1) Over 2,815,000 podcasts, i.e precisely 2815479 podcasts are being indexed i.e over 7,600% of data being indexed.

2) Users can report explicit content.

3) By default, explicit content is not shown in search results. Ticking a small checkbox shows explicit content.

4) Like the search results page, when navigating from the categories page, search results can be further narrowed down using filters.

5) Ability to submit new podcasts to be included into the directory.

6) Nice little trip down the memory lane - Every release would archive screenshots. Once the application evolves and after few years, it would be nice to see how the application evolved with each version. Like how screenshots of older versions of windows such as vs current versions of windows float around in social media. For example Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10, 11. Archived screenshots of version 0.1 can be found here - Version 0.1 Gallery.


Internal Features:

1) Not visible but major re-write has happened to support vertical and horizontal scaling. i.e the application can easily scale to handle another 100 - 200x the data without major architectural changes and ready to be cloud-native without major architectural changes.

2) Admin Dashboard for supporting internal administration related tasks. For now, only I can login, using one of my email addresses, any other attempt would be blocked.

PodDB version 0.2 to be released on 6/11/2022


As mentioned in a previous blog post -  PodDB major data update coming soon! Over 2,815,000 podcasts would be indexed, an update is being made on 6/11/2022. This is a big data update and few minor features have been added. The changes are:

Externally Visible Features:

1) Over 2,815,000 podcasts are being indexed i.e over 7,600% of data being indexed.

2) Users can report explicit content.

Sadder part - I would be focusing on few other important things in personal life rather than this project. As most of you know, I am the target of at least a dozen rogue R&AW spies who have acted like goons. The list:

1) Erra / Yerra surnamed people - Kalyan, Karan, Kareem, Karunakar, Diwakar, Sowjanya, Sowmya, Kamalakar.

2) Uttam

3) Thota surnamed people

4) Few different female's with first name of Sowjanya or Sowmya except for my spouse who is also named Sowjanya but we got seperated 3 years ago, not divorced.

5) Srinivas's

6) Zinnabathuni surnamed people

7) Bojja Srinivas

8) Mukesh Golla

9) Bhattaru surnamed people

10) Few different female's who claim to have a first name of 'Kanti'.

11) Bandhavi irrespective of surname

12) Thota Veera

13) Zinnabathuni Sowjanya

14) Bhattaru Sowjanya

15) Whoever are the code names of "tu", "already", "e", "a", "is", "just"


Some or most of the above are R&AW spies who have done targeted harassment, identity theft via identity distortion i.e gamified identity theft, targeted hacking, impersonation, illegal immigration, illegally worked, fake documents, human rights violation, misrepresented, signature manipulation, signature forgery, created fake evidences, shadowed, framed and defamed.


Here is the worst part some of the above claim to be my siblings. I don't have any siblings with the above mentioned names and I don't know who or what is an "ass", I don't have any siblings by the whose intials would match "ass". I do have one elder sister whose initials are "A.S" and she got naturalized citizen of United States of America several years ago.

PodDB major data update coming soon! Over 2,815,000 podcasts would be indexed.

PodDB major data update coming soon! Over 2,815,000 podcasts would be indexed.


The past few weeks I have been busy with other things. Lot of internal work has happened on PodDB. The next release has no major visible features (small feature updates), but lots of data update(s) and minor performance enhancements. In the next 2 weeks, the data update, minor performance updates and few little additional feature tweaks would be released. Currently, PodDB indexes 36,755 of the most popular podcast feed's metadata. The expectation is to index slightly over 2,815,000 podcast feeds. From data perspective over 7600% of data would be indexed.


As usual safe disclaimer: NOT associated with Erra's / Yerra's, Thota's, Uttam's, Sowmya's, Bhattaru's, Zinnabathuni's, Bandhavi's. Bhattaru Sowjanya was a banker in India, no other relation. Some Bandhavi was a SpiceJet employee in India, no other relationship. A particular Uttam was a coleague in 2018. I am not associated with any of them personally, nor is my company. Similarly not associated personally with any B/C/D/E/I/Z surnamed Sowjanya's

PoddB now indexes over 36000 podcast feeds

 This morning I have launched PodDB - A Search Engine and Directory for Podcasts. The launch this morning contained about 400 podcasts. Now the index has been updated to include 36755 podcasts. In few days, I would probably increase the index to about twice i.e about 70,000 - 75,000.

PodDB Launched

       PodDB has been launched, I did not go live at the time of launch due to certain technical glitches. I will create a little help video and upload to the official Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfWg1fhujnIf6b621UZ_SGg. and provide a link at https://poddb.alightservices.com/Home/Help But currently PodDB is a very simple Podcast Search engine and Podcast directory. The application can be accessed at https://poddb.alightservices.com/.

PodDB Coming Soon Launched

 PodDB - A search engine for podcasts, Product of ALight Technology And Services Limited.

A coming soon page has been launched. Several nice little features have been added for the September 24th launch rather than a basic MVP.

The web application can be accessed at https://poddb.alightservices.com/ . Although the timer shows the launch would be at 23:59 on September 24th, in reality the launch would be before noon IST i.e at or before 6:30 a.m GMT on September 24th.

PodDB Alpha version being launched on September 24th

The past few days, I have been slightly busy with the development of PodDB. 

What is PodDB?

PodDB is a search engine and a directory of podcasts. The first release would index just the Podcast feed, not episodes and 200 - 300 of the most popular podcasts, but slowly the database would grow to hold 30,000 - 40,000 podcasts and possibly 2 - 3 million if the application gains traction. In 1 - 2 months, episode-based indexing would also happen.


For the first version, I have planned a very simple search engine but I had the opportunity to do slightly more development and have developed podcast directory and podcast pages also.

Currently, I am stabilizing the application performing some performance tweaks and refactoring some code in such a way for longer term durability such as automatic backups of indexes, alerts, monitoring, dashboard etc... as in more of an enterprise-grade rather than rushing through in a startup-style. I do have some very long-term plans based on traction. 

The application is completely written using Microsoft .Net technologies using ASP.Net Core MVC, C#, MySQL, Solr and has few backend processes, web application etc... I have made a conscious choice to not use SPA frameworks such as Angular/React/Blazor because I need some traction based on Search Engine visibility. SPA frameworks are for a different style of applications not when search engine visibility is of importance. Here is the funny part, I do plan to use some Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques (I am aware of the higher level concepts) for some features in the future and do plan to dabble with Python (Another programming language, slightly different syntax but same concepts of arrays, for loops, if's etc...) in the future.

One of my family member's birthdays is on September 24th, I am planning to launch on September 24th to coincide with my family member's birthday.


Now for the regular rant, who or what is an "ass", some R&AW spy claiming to be part of my family? And that too claiming my identity and certificates? I would rather kick that person's ass. Most likely someone related to either Srinivas or Uttam (Uttam + sriniVAS = UVAS - identity thieves, rogue R&AW agents, spies, intellectual property thieves) or Thota Veera or Erra Diwakar or Mukesh Golla. For all pratcial purposes they are evil monsters, human rights violators and should be considered and prosecuted as terrorists.

Coming Soon PodDB - A search engine for podcasts!

Coming Soon PodDB - A search engine for podcasts!

Cross post - https://kantikalyan.medium.com/coming-soon-poddb-a-search-engine-for-podcasts-fbb4f4ccca31

PodDB - A search engine for podcasts.

This project is for podcast listeners. A simple and free podcast search engine. The project as of now, would not have any monetization features.

There is a long roadmap, based upon traction the features in the roadmap would be implemented.

Current Status: development

Planned Alpha towards the end of September with 200 – 300 popular podcasts. Beta with about 2500 – 3000 popular podcasts, Production with over 4 million podcasts.

I know the spykar erra diwakar, whoever is an “is”, “tu”, “bs”, "eka", several other "kalyan's", mukesh, female identity thieves by the first name of “Kanti”, the UVAS = Uttam + sriniVAS, the thota’s, bandhavi, zinnabathuni would do source code theft, IP theft, may be even parallel coding.

But they don’t matter, because I am implementing this project out of love for development and to expand my own personal knowledge and hands-on experience. In this particular project, I would be working on SOLR, a certain enterprise search technology I have not used yet in my 12+ years of I.T experience.
