Does anyone have an _actually good_ homemade chocolate recipe?

I've tried a couple recipes I found on the web, even investing in cacao butter, but the results are grainy and taste like chocolate powdered sugar bars.

I get to vote on inducting more people into the Podcast Hall of Fame, but it is tough! I can vote on only 8 individuals, but I have 12 amazing and deserving men and women selected!

And this is only the first group of 2!

Good news / bad news:

The good news is that my emergency bathroom repair is coming along nicely! (See photo!)

The bad news is that this has kept me from publishing an episode of The Audacity to Podcast this week. 😢

Think carefully about this one:

Should it be "behind the mic," or "in front of the mic"?

As much as I don't like to publicly call out my #podcasting colleagues for doing bad things with their products and services, I wonder if it might be necessary.

Tonight, my returning frustration is when hosting providers randomize episode URLs—path or filename.

Episode coming about this!

Live Translation on iOS 26 with AirPods Pro 2 is awesome! All I have to do is press and hold both earbud stems to get a deafening sound and then have Siri tell me, "To use Live Translation with AirPods, you'll need to download languages to this iPhone."

ChatGPT and other "AI" / LLM (large language model) tools should end all their free options.

Everyone should either pay to use the tools, or cover the cost to run them on their own hardware.

Prove me wrong. 😃
