Haven’t had any doggie interruptions on client podcasts in a while, and then randomly the last 2 episodes I’ve editing have featured some barking from furry friends.

Not a complaint. A pup is way more pleasing to hear than a lawn mower this time of year.

Did I know I was going to be sourcing hurdy-gurdy covers of Linkin Park on YouTube as part of my work on a podcast this morning? No.

Was I happy to spend 20 minutes diving down the rabbit hole of hurdy-gurdy covers this morning? Absolutely yes.

Podcast tip: If you want people to listen to your podcast, have some sort of subscribe page so people can subscribe to your podcast. If you don’t want listeners, by all means, just put up a blog post with a podcast player embed and revel in the massive “listens to podcast on a web page” audience.

A cool thing I discovered is that the audio repair tool I use has a bug where if the hard drive runs out of space, it just repairs part of the file without telling me anything was wrong. So guess who’s spent hours “fixing” audio files when I should have been cleaning up hard drive space?

Apple Podcasts (iOS / iPadOS, and macOS versions released today) is getting some new features today.

How has it been 3 years since I published this how to record a podcast with Audio Hijack tutorial? What is time even? Watching it and seeing pre-pandemic Chris sitting their naively unaware of what’s about to hit the world. 😞 Time to update it for @RogueAmoeba’s v4 of the app!

I dig tools like Descript for editing - but I feel like I’ve stared at audio this way for long enough that I can almost see the words as I’m editing. I’d still love a way to have a text searchable archive of shows, which is where Descript is super handy. #podcasteditor

I’m awful at goal setting in longer term situations. I know my business is at a plateau, and it’s fine, but beyond some sort of capitalist “get more money so I can work less?” thought, I’m overwhelmed at the thought of small changes to grow. Maybe I’ll learn by osmosis. :)

I fired up Twitter to figure out how I wanted to remove past tweets and archive my account, only to be connected via a recommendation to a potential client. As much as I want to 💩on the bird place, it has given me connections to most of my current and past #podcast clients.

Happy old fashioned happy hour to those celebrating. AMA while I edit this podcast. ngl.link/lemonpodc…
