We may be reaching peak podcasts about Satanic Panic: a new show that just started called “The Devil You Know” has Sarah Marshall (host of You’re Wrong About) digging into it.

I dig Justin’s 10m tutorial on how easy it is to start a podcast in 2025. The tools have made it as easy as starting a blog was back in the day.

I listened to another great episode of Heavyweight, “The Messenger”, and it’s almost frustrating how effortless Jonathan Goldstein and crew make storytelling seem.

I’m glad that Heavyweight is back in a regular release schedule. “Etta” is a masterclass in #podcast storytelling, humour, and life packed into less than 40 minutes.

I’m wondering what your favorite podcast is right now?

It’s telling that a lot of the AI “help you edit your video / podcast” tools have no idea what to do with human laughter. They sometimes mute it or amplify it in weird ways. Or cut it off awkwardly. Sometimes they leave it alone entirely. But rarely do they get it right in my experience.

My number one tip for anyone starting a podcast: Remember to unmute your mic before you start recording.

I know the spambots wouldn’t respect it, but it’d be sweet if there was a podcastguesting:yes/no tag in the RSS spec so you could say “we’re not open to random solicitation for guests on our podcast.” So much spam emails about guest opportunities for someone’s boss who wrote a book.
