Someone asked me if I’ve ever done a podcast (short answer: yes quite a few, but nothing currently has stuck) and I was reminded of a podcast I did a long time ago back in 2012 interviewing folks like Brett Terpstra, Shawn Blanc, and others. I can’t find any of the audio anymore though. :(

I’m bullish on video + #podcasting for those that want to do it, but for anyone just getting into it now, getting an episode out the door is so much heavier with video. Of course files are bigger.. but every step just takes longer. Exports. Notice a visual OR audio mistake. Re-export. Upload. etc.

Request to Riverside, Descript, etc. as a podcast editor: If I have my own paid account with your service, just let me be added to a client’s paid account so we can share assets properly. Don’t make me convince my client to start paying extra for me when I’m already paying for my own account.

I use Riverside’s “Pixelize” transition when editing CodePen’s podcast because they’re all about code. Which is kinda like pixels? Anyways. awkward silence cough

A transition menu in a video editing software shows options like Wipe Left, Wipe Right, and Pixelize with a penguin on an iceberg as the example image.

Question for anyone recording #podcasts: are you stressed and anxious about the direction we might be headed towards video first podcasting? Jumping in with both arms and multiple cameras? Or is it a fad that’s going to go away when the novelty of video all the things wears off?

Super cool Substack bestseller list you’ve got there.

This is actually more of an indictment of what popular culture is apparently reading / listening to than specifically “Substack bad”. But also: Substack is bad.

A webpage screen displays a list of new bestselling podcasts alongside a navigation menu and options for signing in or creating an account. Andrew Tate, human trafficker, is at the top of the list.

I just learned that Theo Von is 46 years old. I would’ve guessed mid-30’s at best the way he speaks and is portrayed in media.

I love this integration between Ghost and Transistor for private, members-only podcasting.

Hello from my spring office where I monitor a pump in our window well in between editing podcasts.

Demi makes a lot of great points about why you shouldn’t do a podcast 😝 vt.tiktok.com/ZSu29N8YA…
