One of the main advantages of low profile mic stands is the benefit of them just folding away when not in use. Such a space saver. 🤗

Temp matters? Voice actors... keep a water bottle at room temperature. Cold water can tighten your vocal cords, and you want them relaxed for the performance.

Sometimes, the world feels a little heavy.

This bonus episode of 5 Random Questions is a short one - just me, reminding you that you’re not alone.

No guests, no questions - just a bit of honesty, a bit of care, and a few minutes to breathe. 💛

I love podcasting with all my heart, and love being an indie podcaster. But I would stop tomorrow, rather than turn my show(s) into clickbait, money-driven, non-factual content where bang-for-the-BS is more important than delivering audio (or video) that doesn't devalue the trust of your audience.

Your hosting company's support team should be able to advise. :)

If you like the Alien lore, maybe watch. Otherwise, pass - I was bored silly.

Yeah, I was really disappointed in it.

Yes. 🤣

Saw someone say #AlienEarth was like "A badly written Jurassic Park with aliens" and that's just perfect. :)

@johnspurlock.com @james.crid.land Do you know if there's any data that offers how many podcasts include chapters in their episodes? Ideally, it'd be great to see how many listeners actually use, but that's probably granular data at app level.

30 overall categories (inc. specialist ones), 23 awards, 12 of which were gold. Quite the ratio for the Beeb. 🤔

Danny Brown (he/him) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦 🎤 🎧 @dannybrown.me · 12d

Maybe the Beeb felt bad about taking all the awards, and freed up a space for someone else... ;-)

Looks and sounds great, excellent quality on both camera and mic it seems.

This was an entirely unavoidable death. Imagine letting your child die rather than admit your views on science were causing her pain and suffering.
