I agree with Justin’s post about YouTube’s eventual need to degrade the podcasting experience to extract value from it. Silos and walled gardens are not in podcasting’s best interest. And IMHO this includes podcast apps trying to be all things to the podcaster.
All the parents sitting in our vehicles looking our little screens waiting for hockey to start has me thinking about getting a couch and chairs for the back of my truck? 😝
The US National Parks having a fake beef with each other, all while posting the weirdest most feral content on TikTok is not how I saw the resistance going… but I’m loving the choices they’re making. 😆

New blog post: Brick Your iPhone on Purpose

“I wanna love you, I wanna make you mine…”
You’ll finish the next line whether you want to or not if you’ve been watching NHL playoffs in Canada. 😂
I first created this reboot of my email newsletter back in February… of 2024. I’ve been rewriting it every few months as things change. 😆 Maybe I should just hit send.
