Quickly mowed the lawn before more rain hits this afternoon. Now I’m a sweaty mess and putting on headphones to edit podcasts isn’t a great experience. 🥵
New on my blog: Help me Pick Music to Go With My Voice
I hate trying to pick out music beds for my own podcast ideas. I love something and think it’s amazing on the first 10 listens, and then on the 11th I hear how cheesy, awkward, and just not right it is.
Even for show ideas that just end up in the bin. 😆
Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel on “how to podcast”, I generally send people to Transistor’s excellent How to Start a Podcast series they’ve put together. It’s a great primer on all things podcasting from start to finish.
New on the blog: Apple TV+ Needs a Button.
Somehow I missed that Apple TV+ has a Murderbot series in production, with Alexander Skarsgård set to star.
In an alternate universe, @ultranurd@tacobelllabs.net and I are still complaining about the lack of Apple TV updates on an episode of 25c.
A simpler phone screen time system would be if it would only unlock all the time suck apps once you completed the Wordle, Connections, or Quartiles. Or maybe all three?
It feels like the notifications are tuned a little high in Quartiles on Apple News. My wife sat down and started after me and it notified me she had beaten my score even though we were just starting. 😝
Oooh Pocket Casts (my podcast app of choice) added a browser extension so you can subscribe on the web and have it easily show up in your app later. Nifty.
It’s been a while since I’ve added a new podcast to Apple’s Podcasts Connect site manually. Is it normally a 2-3 day process? I’m just trying to get my Micro.blog podcast feed in there which works fine.
The USA is so bonkers. Trump’s donation website apparently crashed because of so many people trying to donate to him after he was convicted of 34 felonies.
One Of The Reasons I Can’t Quit Twitter
I’ve tried many times and it’s possible that I’ll be addicted for life. But for now, here’s a positive reason why I can’t quit Twitter.
Welcome To My Micro Podcast!
Podcasting is now included in Micro.blogs $5/month or $50 a year plan so I thought I’d try it out. Hello world!
Forget Dolby Atmos surround bass booming, I need the best speaker for listening to poorly edited podcasts in the shower?
I started the day off by being frustrated at my kids for staring at phones instead of making their lunches and then spent an hour staring at my phone instead of making my work.
So… there’s that. 😪
New on the blog: Lucy Rose Cover of U2’s With or Without You
Add another casualty to the Google chat RIP pile. Not that I ever used it but apparently I had it set up somewhere, somehow. 😆
Another year, another ring around the internet for the pride of 2000’s Saskatchewan marketing efforts: “Pork. The One You Love”.
