Soooo many thoughts on Jeanine from Inception Point's conversation with @james.crid.land on @podnews.net's weekly review last week, I don't even know where to start. Great interview. Awful interviewee.

The brilliant sound design and nod to John Williams' classic score in the Superman trailer gives me hope that this might be a sign of some slight slither of chance the movie may not be a total shit-show cringe-fest. Oh, and the Nicholas Hoult as Lex thing. That's also a point in the plus column.

Don't buy fake podcast bot downloads. I explain why. And also some otherstuff @mattcundill.com was kind enough to let me pontificate about on his podcast. Go listen. If you like.

Never thought I'd get a 'showbiz shoutout' feeling after being 'called out' by someone because they've disagreed with me on something. Yet I definitely got one when I realised @davejackson.bsky.social was talking about my episode on Marc Maron, during his Ask The Podcast Coach this week.

"(We) provides Forbes-recommended podcast editing and support services..." LOL - so they paid for one of those 'as seen on Forbes' PR marks but realised using it would look super icky, so they decided to just use it as a fake endorsement instead? Christ. How do these people sleep?

I really don’t know what to do with this platform 😂😂 Like, it doesn’t really need another experienced podcast guy offering tips. LinkedIn has taught me that people only like ‘hot takes’ when you’re not talking about them. And I definitely don’t want to just spam it with links. Pfffff.

I've now tested three different podcasts for Buzzsprout ads. I really want to be nice to them, I really do. But this service is a total waste of money and they should seriously think about withdrawing it. Even their own UX copy warns not to expect great results, and they're right.

When I heard Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger for the first time, I immediately started singing Word Up on top of it. It took a couple of years before I figured out how to do a mashup though (it's not that easy). I tried it a couple of months ago: it mashes exactly as I had imagined!

Any podcasters thinking of building a site using Elementor - don't. Especially if you'll eventually use something better. Let me describe it... Imagine your site content is a tangible item you need to lift out of the domain. Elementor's crumbling away before you even get your hands fully round it.
