Podcasting
I just published a new episode of my podcast called “3 Quick Things: Threads, New iPhones, and Violence in the USA Bleeds Everywhere”. 🎧
When should a blog post be a podcast episode be a TikTok clip be a YouTube video be a newsletter issue be a faxed paper be a text message be sent by a carrier pigeon?
I complained about YouTube yesterday, today I’ll give them props for adding a simple “reuse details” so when you upload a new video you can click it and choose a previous video to pull metadata from. Really helpful for podcasts. I wish podcast hosting companies would do it too.
Recording a podcast episode, deep in thought #selfie.
Selfie a day for a year, day 17, Sep 4, 2025 edition.
I just published a new episode of my podcast called “5 Quick Things: Digital Gardens, Too Many Interesting Things, AI Everywhere, Forcing It, Slow Horses”. 🎧 You can listen / watch here.
You can tell the podcast or video editor used AI when the description starts with “Hosts engage in a lively discussion covering a range of topics…”
Not a whole lot new in iOS 26’s podcast app, just some small quality of life improvements.
I just published a new episode of my mini #podcast called “5 Quick Things: Braces, Selfie a Day, Summer Denial, Wednesday Binge, and Podcast Experiments”. 🎧
After you’ve had a listen, feel free to reply and add your thoughts to future episodes of the show.
For today’s #selfie, a reminder to drink water before, during, and after you attempt to record a podcast. Don’t want to get dry, raspy throat sounds. Unless you’re doing a dry, raspy throaty podcast I guess.

Look I get why it might be attractive to have all your #podcasting eggs in one basket like this, but I really strongly advise against it based on past history of tech companies trying to be “the one”, only to have investors decide they need “the cash” more than they want to be “the one”.
I decided to split off my random #Fortnite gaming into it’s own YouTube channel instead of confusing ppl looking for podcasting tutorials on my main one. So subscribe to @GamingWithALemon on YT. (Nothing changing on Twitch)
The ShopTalk Show Discord gave me an idea for a new podcast based on the premise that people—developers in this case—need to meet more actual mediocre white guys in order to boost their own confidence, and realize how little some people know who keep getting promoted. 😆
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that Riverside tries to tack on podcast hosting to their services the same week that a client has a recording be the most out of sync (video to audio) that I’ve seen in years… but it’s sure not building a lot of confidence for me with their app.
I’ve posted about this before, but I did a quick video version of how easy it is to enable Bluesky comment replies on your podcast episode pages with Transistor podcast hosting.
New blog post: Adding Video Streaming to Your Podcast with HLS
A client recently revived a show that’s been on hiatus for 2.5 years and it’s nice how comforting it is to hear their familiar voices in my ear again. It will be interesting to see how many folks maintained their podcast subscription over that time period when the new episode goes out.
Podcast / Notion idea for someone to build: Monitor the podcast’s RSS feed and when the episode comes out matching the title in Notion, adjust the status to “published”.
I’m not sure what I was going to put here, but I kind of wish I would’ve finished this disgusting ring tone product on my Gumroad account way back when. 😆
If you’re seeing this, I’m live now on Twitch demoing recording and editing a podcast using Riverside with tim.
