Summary

Dave has a dead man's switch for the Podcast Index: if he doesn't SSH in once a week, his credentials go automatically to a small group of trusted people (Alex, Eric PP, the Podverse folks, Spurlock) who can keep things running.

Not in the audio. Dave describes his own setup rather than explicitly telling listeners to do it. The recommendation framing is editorial.
