graphic designer, video editor, podcaster (the good kind, I swear), and lego-liker
I am sorry to inform you that the capitalist speculators feasting on the bones of culture lied when they said that putting audio files into an RSS feed could be an industry worth billions of dollars and that you need to do soul-crushingly stupid ad reads for Betterhelp and Fanduel if you want to survive within it.
new blog post on my webbed site!! i kind of Went Off, hope you enjoy. there's a link to the post below, subscribe to the RSS feed and all that. have a good one
big agree! really really good blog post. i podcast and make shit because i enjoy making things, not because it’s a “business venture.”
It's so funny seeing those "podcasts are dying!!" while also listening to podcasts that are 10+ years old, like, yeah I guess corporate podcasts with massive production budget are dying but that's it lmao
i was about to comment on the "Blog Name" thing assuming it was a bug on your site until I noticed the header lmao
i actually made the header because people had the same confusion haha. glad it's working!
Agree that podcasts are 200 percent an audio format. You are correct and I thank you for saying it.
finally, podcasts as a medium that nonweirdos listen to is dying, i'll no longer have to qualify my enjoyment of them with "uhhh not like NPR podcasts that manufacture consent for terrible policy decision, like good podcasts"
this is all basically right but I do have to get in the comments to defend my favorite podcast about engineering disasters. With slides.
But if podcasts aren't video how are people going to LARP at being famous on tiktok by setting up fake podcast video recordings
