Podcasting
Not a whole lot new in iOS 26’s podcast app, just some small quality of life improvements.
I just published a new episode of my mini #podcast called “5 Quick Things: Braces, Selfie a Day, Summer Denial, Wednesday Binge, and Podcast Experiments”. 🎧
After you’ve had a listen, feel free to reply and add your thoughts to future episodes of the show.
For today’s #selfie, a reminder to drink water before, during, and after you attempt to record a podcast. Don’t want to get dry, raspy throat sounds. Unless you’re doing a dry, raspy throaty podcast I guess.
Selfie a day for a year, day 9, Aug 26, 2025 edition.
Look I get why it might be attractive to have all your #podcasting eggs in one basket like this, but I really strongly advise against it based on past history of tech companies trying to be “the one”, only to have investors decide they need “the cash” more than they want to be “the one”.
I decided to split off my random #Fortnite gaming into it’s own YouTube channel instead of confusing ppl looking for podcasting tutorials on my main one. So subscribe to @GamingWithALemon on YT. (Nothing changing on Twitch)
The ShopTalk Show Discord gave me an idea for a new podcast based on the premise that people—developers in this case—need to meet more actual mediocre white guys in order to boost their own confidence, and realize how little some people know who keep getting promoted. 😆
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that Riverside tries to tack on podcast hosting to their services the same week that a client has a recording be the most out of sync (video to audio) that I’ve seen in years… but it’s sure not building a lot of confidence for me with their app.
I’ve posted about this before, but I did a quick video version of how easy it is to enable Bluesky comment replies on your podcast episode pages with Transistor podcast hosting.
