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.

Almost time to watch hockey again. Toxic Actions of Toxic Coach of Toxic Sport in Toxic League exposed by Toxic Host of Toxic Podcast on Toxic Website.

I realized why Friday seemed to go so smoothly and it’s because I forgot about editing a podcast episode that’s due first thing Monday morning. Luckily something triggered my brain to think about it.

Costco queso dip to the rescue for some late night editing. 😋

Any podcast nerds know if a USB-C enabled iOS device (iPad? iPhone 15?) can just take a USB-C mic plugged in directly as a recording device? Because that would make your phone a pretty slick mobile recorder paired with something like a Shure MV7.

I don’t know what they are because I only hear the words “web components” on podcasts I edit, but the newly launched Luro “…is a no-code solution to track component usage, adoption, and success across your entire product.”

Plus it looks great. 💯

Really looking forward to the future Strike Force Five podcast episode where they talk about toxic work environments and how to deal with claims of abuse when you’re the boss.

Or maybe they’ll just change the name to Strike Force Four to avoid talking about anything serious.

I should know by now not to grab a bowl of chips to snack on while editing my client’s podcast who’s a fitness and wellness educator / coach. Not that she’d shame me for snacking. I just always seem to be pouring the crumbs down my throat as she says something about “…the snacks add up.” 😆
