Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?
Later: well, it isn't by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

My apologies, Chris. I'm not familiar with the media player you are using on WordPress and so I did not realise that it was an embed rather than a download. That makes everything I said wrong, and everything you said right.
I'll look into oEmbeds, although I'm currently not sure exactly how I would make use of them.
Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.
Marty's summary -- it's hard -- is spot on. I do, however, feel that there's room for both a quick roundup of what's happening in the #indieweb, in the way that Marty has pioneered, and for something a little more discursive. I could easily record interviews with the protagonists over Skype or similar, if they are willing. And if I weren't so geographically isolated here in Rome, I could even try to get to some Indie Web Camps or HWCs and do on the spot recordings.
My feeling is that these kinds of podcasts could help people to embrace and adopt the indieweb. There could also be a role for Q&A type things in the longer podcasts.
Repurpose that incubator! Turning raw seasoned meat into sausages is both science and food.
Ooh. A new podcast to listen to, which also fits with my growing enthusiasm for #indieweb. And wouldn't it be fun, as @chrisalrich almost suggests, to make a podcast about indieweb. If there's space ...
Has it really been a year since 10Cv4 hit the ground? @matigo is right: time does fly when you're having fun. And the way the service has developed is nothing short of miraculous, given that it rests on a single individual. Sometimes I wish he'd slow down and consolidate, but mostly I'm just grateful 10C exists.
You mention SoundCloud, which a lot of people, including podcasters, are using. Fine, for them, but more than a silo, SoundCloud is a locked room. I use Huffduffer.com a lot to sample audio and -- even more -- to share what I'm sampling and to see what other people are sharing. A sort of recommendation engine, if you like, though not a very powerful one, I admit. And SoundCloud deliberately makes it hard to share. There are ways around that barrier, of course, but not everyone will want to use them. And so, as ever, by hosting on SoundCloud you may be denying yourself listeners. #indieweb
Sad that an increasing number of sites seem to block Instapaper. That little bit of friction -- I have to copy the URL, go to Instapaper and add the link by hand -- but so far it always works -- might mean I won't ready your piece. Is that really worth it?
After a morning wrangling automating POSSE from my stream site, I quite understand why Colin Devroe is just turning it off. I too might abandon the effort. Maybe it doesn't matter nearly as much for minor things like Twitter to originate everything on my own site. Everything larger than 140 characters originates with me anyway, and I can always syndicate that by hand. What's nice is to be able to bring the reactions back here.
I'm not using Reactions, so I cannot comment on that. I did, however, test quill.p3k.io to like a post, and the post's card came through perfectly formatted (just not centred, which I can live with).

@matigo Make it so.
I'd say that this would make the whole idea of #indieweb a lot more tenable to a bunch of people in what the gurus call [generations 3 and 4](https://indieweb.org/generations). Maybe even 2, which is where I see myself.
All that stuff and nonsense about having a local development environment and then pushing that out to a production site *via* whatever sync method you can manage to work at any given moment would disappear in a puff of smoke. I'd happily pay for one of those coffee-cup sized servers.
*p.s.* I'm posting this first to my own owned-content, in those that it may encourage you to hook up, although I know you have lots of other things on your mind.
