I didn't get any impression that she's put any strategic thought behind this offering other than 'let's just flood the platforms with our content so people see it'.

She seems to revel in the disruption she's causing almost like she's making up for missing out on the mid to late 90s shock jock trend.

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.

LOL at British Podcast Awards emailing me, urging me to "avoid FOMO" by booking tickets to their branding schill fe... event.

I'd actually argue that doing a show like yours episodically without adding seasons is the more sensible choice.

Absolutely valid. Holiday seasons are quiet. But this doesn't mean we should go quiet. Our next ideal listener might be the one who finds us by scouring for content when everyone else has 'downed tools'.

Don't assume you know when your audience is online!

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.

Haha I know this but then ordering one on Amazon requires me staying focused long enough to dodge all the memes, go on to Amazon, not get distracted by all the toys, and click buy.

I had to go back to my giant 'fuckoff' ones when I upgraded to the Rodecaster Pro 2. (It doesn't have the little 3.5" input for my other ones that the RP1 had)

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.

Trying to reverse-engineer a celebrity podcast when you’re unknown is like trying to launch a rocket with a party popper.

It's almost like Lewis Hamilton didn't see the three years of terrible team decisions that Ferrari were making before he joined them.

A few people probably won't like this latest one:

Steven Bartlett.

Podcast Movement's Facebook group members.

Any podcaster who can't be arsed to even slightly edit.

And anyone who's created a 'podcast' just so they can schill all their affiliate links.

Yep, a year 1 thing that I didn't realise still needed to be taught. But apparently so! Along with, "wherever you get your podcasts" needing to get in the bin.
