Tempted to pick up the Elgato Wave XLR that’s on sale at Amazon for an updated USB-C preamp for my Heil PR40 mic, but the macOS support seems to be iffy in reviews. Anyone else in #podcast land have one on a Mac?


Posting on Micro.blog about editing a podcast interviewing the creator of Micro.blog has to win some sort of small “m” meta prize, right?


I (finally) published a new video on my YouTube showing how easy it is to record, edit, and publish a podcast episode from Descript to Transistor to podcast apps - with a transcription included for good measure.


Why your podcast needs a website #203: When I’m linking to your podcast from another podcast’s show notes, I’m not putting Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Pocket Casts, Podtail, Podchaser, Libsyn, RSS, BlueBorfy, PodTats, CastsThatArePods, etc. links.

I’m putting one so listeners can decide.


I shouldn’t upgrade to macOS Sonoma today because I’m in the middle of editing a podcast. But then I thought: the guest on the podcast works at Apple. I’m using Apple software to edit on Apple hardware. Is this not the perfect synergy to tempt fate??

(Spoiler: I didn’t upgrade to macOS Sonoma.)


I’m a fan of competition, but something about Descript / Squadcast using my filenames or file download source metadata to target a competitor (Riverside.fm)’s users doesn’t smell right for some reason. Just me?

Email from Descript that reads: The All-in-One Solution&10;We notice you've been using Riverside and Descript for recording and editing your podcast or video (or both). That’s great, but we have some news: Descript has remote recording now—so you can record, edit, collaborate, and publish your content, all in one tool. &10;&10;If you've found Riverside, and its Edit in Descript feature, useful, we're confident you can streamline your workflow and save a ton of time—and money—by recording and editing in Descript.

I always wondered why Apple didn’t let you listen to the Music interviews more easily—glad to see they’ve added them to the Podcasts app.


Finally back to time for a stupid walk for the old 🧠

U2y podcast episode on Pop

Recording a podcast locally and didn’t notice I ran out of space on my memory card. Pull it out and realize I’ve been relying on a 2GB memory card when a 128GB version is $18 (tax in). 🤦‍♂️

Guess we’ll just record that part again.
