Podcasting
Demi makes a lot of great points about why you shouldn’t do a podcast 😝 vt.tiktok.com/ZSu29N8YA…
I admire Zane Lowe’s attempt to get straight answers out of Bono in this interview from last year. For all his alleged ego, Bono spends a lot of time pumping up other bands and artists in interviews.
Michael Lopp has a podcast? And he explains the appeal of Arc Raiders really well in the most recent episode. (I still haven’t bought or tried it.)
Me if I was on a Apple pundit podcast: “The new MacBook Neo is for the people who buy one.”
Which is one reason why I’ve never been asked to be on a Apple podcast. 😆
Threads is becoming very podcast friendly. I have no idea if they still punish you in the algorithm for linking off-site like that, but maybe they don’t see podcast apps as a threat to their time on site metrics?
Do you think Bad Bunny gets a bit of the sads when he sees his daily streaming numbers drop a bit after the Super Bowl high? Like how the rest of us get bummed when that video podcast episode stops getting pushed as much? 😆
No, I will not be checking out your “Substack”. I don’t tell people to check out my Buttondown, my Ghost, or my Transistor.
I ask them to read my newsletter, my blog, or listen to my podcast.
I published a new YouTube video on my channel for anyone who wants to convert Logic Pro markers to a Markdown linked list for a #podcast website. Pretty small niche I realize. 😆 youtu.be/SDgd_MJ0z…
If all you’ve ever experienced is Spotify’s interface for uploading #podcast episodes, I hope some day you get to experience a proper podcast hosting company’s user interface and realize how much nicer it can be to prep your show each week.
Spotify is so committed to #podcast hosting that 6 years after buying Anchor for $340 million, they still use it for your official RSS feed if you host your podcast on Spotify.
Hire me to edit your podcasts OR, as part of my growth into new markets, hire me as your token Canadian for your Discord community, eh?
If you host a podcast and spend the time your guest(s) are speaking planning how to steer the conversation back to your own experiences instead of actively listening, you are failing your audience. Ask follow up questions. Be curious. You’re the voice for the listeners, not yourself.
I really enjoy Subway Takes as a series, and I also appreciate that Kareem (or someone on his team) takes the time to credit who’s involved, even though it’s made to feel like a two person randomly made show.
I don’t know what the term might be for this is, but you know how someone running the powerpoint or keynote for an event can make 99 clicks at the proper time but everyone will notice and remember the one time they don’t?
Like that but for removing uhms from podcast episodes. 😆
Don’t feel bad if you’re struggling to figure out how to fund your podcast. The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers published an episode of their podcast with 25* ad reads just so they could keep it going and they’re rich and famous.
(*slight exaggeration but not fair off)
Tomorrow’s Life as a 🍋 newsletter is all scheduled and ready to go. You can subscribe here if you’d like some tart thoughts from a Canadian podcast nerd (that’s me) in your inbox most Tuesdays.
One part of my brain: “Hey you should do an interview podcast again.” Another part of my brain: “Ok make a list of people you want to talk with. Now think about having to schedule conversations with them. Now think about what happens when you get to the end of your list?”

One of those days where you say “you kind of look like you’re dressed like The Rock in that meme” and so you end up recording a podcast promo just like that.
#Selfie a day for a year, day 94, Nov 20, 2025 edition.
If you’ve ever thought about starting a #podcast, I’d recommend signing up with Transistor using their 20% off annual plans deal right now. No coupon needed. Simply the best interface for hosting & distributing a podcast. transistor.fm
For some reason people are confusing me writing a blog post last year about The Necessary Conversation Podcast with me being the one who does the podcast. They’re sending me suggestions for how to convince “my parents” about how evil Trump is. 😆
