This new site is gaining some traction, so I wanted to share some background on my work in podcasting.
TL;DR I've been in this industry for nearly a decade and bring a unique perspective that ~holds space~ for both the business and culture of podcasting—which can be at odds with each other.

Community businesses have been steadily on the rise in podcasting for the last 5 years. I made up this framework last week to spotlight the key ingredients to any successful podcast community—which ideally involves participation from both the hosts and the fans.

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.

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
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

The results are in. Because I’m learning manual settings for the first time, I took down the settings of each shot and will see where improvements can be made. Pretty happy with how these turned out!
