Hi! I write about podcasts for @goodtape.com. My latest: a review for our Ear Stuff series, on the 6-parter "OnlyFantasy." Hosts @leonneyfakh.bsky.social & Gracie Canaan explore the world of OnlyFans from (I'm so sorry) the Inside. Thx to @goatrodeo.bsky.social for making Ear Stuff possible.

Ear Stuff: 'OnlyFantasy'
The real winner of the current OnlyFans discourse is this vulnerable, curious series.

If you don't subscribe to the FREE @goodtape.com newsletter, now's a great time. This week we preview the new BBC podcast 'The Interface,' cohosted by @karenhao.bsky.social, @nickywoolf.bsky.social & Thomas Germain. I talked to Germain about how every story is a tech story when you think about it.

We go long with the BBC’s Thomas Germain about his upcoming show “The Interface”; a new digital drop sifts through slop; and hurry, CBC is taking your pitches!

It’s our most requested article so far: @briwellen.bsky.social profiles our illustrious cover star, Nicole Byer. Delightful, sharp, and candid as ever, Nicole shares the story of her rise to podcast queendom, which started with an edible at LAX and spawned a multiverse of comedy shows.

Nicole Byer is the Real Deal
You might call her a triple threat. But this comedian, actor, and media phenom says she’s just being herself.

The inter-corporate struggle for dominance in video podcasting wages on. Now that the cameras are rolling on creators, will YouTube or Spotify emerge as the video podcast platform of choice? And where does that leave audio-first shows? Opheli Garcia Lawler explore in "Battle of the Bandwidth":

Once again, a lot more senior people needed to go to jail for a very long time for Iran-Contra, Bush-era torture, & all the other previously unpunished, wildly illegal & unconstitutional executive branch crimes that have led us inexorably to this utterly shameful, horrifying moment as a country.

From 19th-century society pages to today’s celebrity podcasts, our obsession with the lives of the elite runs deep. @everyverything.bsky.social traces the evolution of this cultural fixation and how podcasts add a new layer of intimacy to an old tradition.

Ultimately, the shows we make in podcasting needs to be greater than the sum of its parts. Audiences might be drawn initially to a show with a public figure or celebrity, but what compels them to stay? And what compels a media buyer to invest?

My thoughts on using "AI" to write.
The point of all of this
The most illiterate men alive were gassing themselves up because the computer had gotten some small degree better at producing dog shit that had the general production values of a circa 2004 video game cutscene. Delighting in the approach of a spiritually and culturally dead future devoid of art and meaning. You do have to admit that a new Narcos season starring Brad Pitt and Mr. Beast and Travis Kelce sounds pretty sick though. 
There's only one flaw I can see in this supposed AI-generated future of seven fingered bikini babes with death behind their eyes and photorealistic Family Guy pornos: I don’t understand where they think their personalized sense of aesthetics they plan to input into the computer is going to come from down the line when all human artists have been driven out of business. If you want something perfectly tailored 1:1 to your own taste meant solely for you to experience alone you can already do that just by sitting there and thinking about

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

This is somewhat true in professional (creative) work. I’m reminded of an old boss, a creative director at Condé Nast who gave portfolio feedback to photographers. She would tell them to focus on perfecting one type of photograph so they could get hired to replicate that with their assignments.

I was reminded about how much I love making print magazines during this time and had the idea of @goodtape.com, hoping it could become somewhat of a load-bearing wall in our industry. I took this idea to Sami Witter and Alana Levinson, and together we made something I'm incredibly proud of.
