Until this time I kind a overlooked this project, simply because I couldn't find any place explaining it clearly. Now I see more, and I'm super excited about it. Also your talk at Web 3.0 conference was very informative.
If I get this right, the way to adoption leads through listeners wanting to be notified? No activity on the content creators' side is needed, isn't it?
When we look at infrastructure or protocols, that is much bigger than users. It is what developers can apply which will bring in a lot more use cases.
As mentioned, any short form information bursts can be done using this protocol. Here it is podcasting updates. There is no reason why it cannot be supply chain updates as an example.

This isn't really a tool for individual creators, it's more an infrastructure issue where hosting companies and (on the receiving side) podcast indexes and apps exchange messages about update.
It a feature that really needs to be behind the scenes: you hit publish on a new episode and the website or host sends out the ping.
So it all goes behind the scenes? In this case how adoption might be quicker? Is this on the side of infrastructure providers to use this solution?
Podping sends out updates on podcasts. It is nothing more than URLs sent out. Podhosting application can monitor the blockchain and update their services based upon the information sent out.
The users of the podcasting applications have no idea how the information (updated podcasts) get there. They do not care.
