Podcasting
U2’s The Edge, also a happy Shure SM7B podcaster?
You’d think professional musicians would have better mic technique though. It looks pretty far away from him, but might just be perspective. 😆
I did a TikTok Live for ~3 minutes and “earned” $0.01 so… I guess I can finally shut down the podcast editing business and focus on TikTok in 2025.
My first attempt with Apple Intelligence + making a digital selfie. Not sure about the headphone placement, what kind of podcast is all code, and why my right hand is definitely 5 fingers with no visible thumb?
The Vinyl Cafe lives on in another generation thanks to my youngest’s teacher. 😊
Riverside, a tool I and many other podcasters use to record remote conversations, just raised another $30 million dollars but what stood out to me was this quote at the end:
“The company is not currently profitable but aims to achieve that goal by the end of 2026.”
Maybe you’ve heard of “software as a service” or SAAS businesses. While editing a client’s podcast I heard the term “cybercrime as a service” business. Because of course there is. And I’m sure CAAS is a booming industry to get into.
It’s wild talking to my dad about how he got clients for financial services over his career vs how I get clients for my podcast editing business. “I met this guy from BC, Justin Jackson, because he listened to a podcast I did 10 years ago… he recommended me to a fitness guru in Utah.”
Shameless affiliate link for the only podcast hosting platform that I genuinely enjoy using and am delighted when a client is already on it: Transistor has a pretty sweet Black Friday deal running right now if you’ve been thinking about setting up a show. AMA!
Speaking of not writing regularly - I’m updating my personal newsletter description now that Elon has helped ween me off Twitter. I’ve got a month to get another issue out or I’ll be breaking my promise of “at minimum once per year”. 😆
