Faraway, So Micro

I hate trying to pick out music beds for my own podcast ideas. I love something and think it’s amazing on the first 10 listens, and then on the 11th I hear how cheesy, awkward, and just not right it is.

Even for show ideas that just end up in the bin. 😆

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel on “how to podcast”, I generally send people to Transistor’s excellent How to Start a Podcast series they’ve put together. It’s a great primer on all things podcasting from start to finish.

Oooh Pocket Casts (my podcast app of choice) added a browser extension so you can subscribe on the web and have it easily show up in your app later. Nifty.

It’s been a while since I’ve added a new podcast to Apple’s Podcasts Connect site manually. Is it normally a 2-3 day process? I’m just trying to get my Micro.blog podcast feed in there which works fine.

Forget Dolby Atmos surround bass booming, I need the best speaker for listening to poorly edited podcasts in the shower?

I really just want to blog and podcast all my thoughts and feelings out into the internet but sadly I have to work? WTF is this?

Time to reset the clock on days since I’ve been jump-scared by someone coming into my office while I’m editing a podcast: 0.

I added Gandalf to this clip from last night’s Oilers / Canucks game and it’s going around hockey tiktok in a non-toxic way. It’s nice to just have a laugh at silly things grown men on skates do sometimes.

Squarespace being bought will almost certainly mean the end of whatever amount of “free-ish” ride podcasters have had on there. “…all seamlessly interwoven with intuitive GenAI.” 🤮
