If your goal is to create a healthy, safe environment for citizens, dont name your program "scorpion", for starters.

Noticed Spotify rebranded Anchor as Spotify for Podcasters or "Podcasters" as an app name. It's interesting how confident they've become that they know what producers want; minimal options, everything drag and drop and mobile.

Spotify, like so many popular tools, is betting that users don't want to know how things work and don't like having options or control over small details of their productions. I'm obviously a dinosaur in podcasting; I insist on having control over small details.

A few times a year I try to subscribe to different podcasts on a wide range of topics. Last month I started with 📼 Vintage Video Podcast 📼 and I've grown to really enjoy it. If you enjoy 80's movies (as I do) and have a strange/sick wish to relive them, this is a really fun way.

So the supremes say no to AA for uni admissions. Schools could now focus on attracting and accepting people from low-income families. Until scotus bans that too.

Happy 100th episode to tony pierce and Hear in LA . Listening and enjoying, just as I used to read and enjoy over 20 years ago.

Dear Hulu and Disney+, Your forms need updating. I'm cancelling bc I support the #WGAstrike and was shocked today to hear that streaming execs think the best way at a solution is to starve the strikers through OCT. I'm sorry ur mommas didn't raise you better. #WGAstrong

Was recently asked how much a local (NL based) podcast studio/service costs. Strangely, other than my own former freelance costs I actually didn't know what these places charge.
