I really like TikTok, though: * I'm outside of the US; * I have spent a lot of time telling the algorithm what I want to see. The thing that the @maintenancephase.bsky.social bonus episode reminded me of was: some people choose to watch AI slop, whereas I just instinctively block it. 🤷‍♂️

I have probably been using Hindenburg Pro II for too long, but every time I think "I should look at Audacity again" I can't really work out if it supports multiple inputs at once. Like I just get a mono/stereo output from Rodecaster Pro but not individual tracks. 🤷‍♂️

Hey Michael,
Your recent dive into the mystery surrounding America's favorite fitness icon on Maintenance Phase was both intriguing and insightful. The way you wove the narrative about the less-discussed cultural impacts of health fads was truly captivating.

That awkward moment when someone frames a podcast episode as though it's about an important societal issue, and then does a bait and switch where the episode is just someone talking about their crappy novel. "But it has themes!"

A weird amount of my life is spent looking at low carb foods and feeling sad.

Consistency is probably a useful thing, but I don't know if you should be lecturing people on it after there was a year long gap in your own content.

Podcasting listing showing a recent episode released 4 hours ago and then the next episode before that being released 1 year ago.

TikTok does this funny thing where it will send a push notification “You might like this post,” and it's always a video I have already liked / saved / bookmarked. But I am always secretly charmed to see it again. 🤭

It's quite (ahem) "character building" to be Facebook friends with that one person from high school who is living out all the dreams you had, only it's working for him in a way it never worked for you.

I don't really have the energy to talk about generative AI (spoiler: I'm not a fan), but there is a fascinating behavioural thing where everyone you talk to will acknowledge potential problems while explaining how they are the one true unicorn who is using it "the right way."

I listen to a number of podcasts that essentially try to hold awful people to account, and I don't doubt this is important work, but something about listening them so much is really eroding my well being.
