Hey me back in 2009 following Adam Lisagor for the first time because of the cool Birdhouse app’s introduction video: In late 2023 you’ll finally get the chance to edit Mr. Lisagor, albeit on another client’s podcast.

Same same but different.

šŸ† Achievement unlocked.

Logic Pro X screenshot of a track showing a audio waveform with the filename of "Adam Lisagor" above it.

I can’t read the full article, but Bloomberg has leaked that Descript is buying Squadcast. Descript is a transcription / screencast / editing app, Squadcast is for recording and live streaming podcast conversations. Interesting acquisition.

I feel like this example Chris Coyier blogged about trying to find a moment in a podcast he’d listened to could be the more interesting angle for AI / transcription tools to go after: podcast power users who want to find stuff in things they’ve listened to.

Congrats on a new job - possibly in DevRel. Now please get yourself a good microphone for the podcasts you’re going to be a guest on.

Please reset the “A web developer mentions the edge technology and so Chris feels obligated to throw in a U2 audio clip reference as a joke only 5 people who listen to the podcast will get” clock. (Ref: ShopTalk Show #575 next week.)

Experimenting with Auphonic again after being away for many years. Any podcast editors out there using it in their daily production?

Podcasters might be trying to use AI to get rid of me, the podcast editor, but I’m secretly using AI to get rid of podcasters with my library of audio of their voices. Pretty soon I’ll be able to publish better episodes without the need to spend time recording silly humans. šŸ˜‚

Editing a client’s podcast and the guest starts off by saying “…and so I moved here from Dublin, Ireland” - and I know I’m going to enjoy listening to them no matter what the topic is.

Stupid walk for stupid mental health time. This time Iā€™m listening to The Daily for updates on Ukraine. What podcasts are you listening to this week?

Do you have a podcast dream?

If you could just hit record, talk with whoever you’d like about whatever you’d like, and know all the editing and publishing was going to be taken care of and you could just show up and do it - what kind of podcast would you want to do?
