Live podcasts, when done right, are hugely entertaining. And, yes, I'd love to run a few live "tapings" of 5 Random Questions! Hmmm.... 🎙️🎧

If you ever wondered about the wisdom of putting the whole of the internet under the remit of 2-3 big players, today's a good reminder of why the web needs to be wider spread, so to speak.

One of the things I pride myself on is the post production side of 5 Random Questions.

But as you can see by the fluffs in just my intro from the season 5 finale with Ana Xavier, it's not all plain sailing recording the episode... :)

Before you recommend someone what mic to buy, please ask them what their recording space is like.

Not really a new episode this week, more like a bonus S4 wrap up, celebrating some milestones and wins, and what to expect when S5 drops. 🙂

Looks an interesting piece of kit, but I'm waiting to hear actual sound samples of the AI tool in use, to see how it affects voices when running lots of real-time processing.

People can't even afford to buy food basics for their kids, but sure, let's splurge $800 at a multi-millionaire's restaurant. 🙄

I ate at Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' new steakhouse, 1587 Prime. Our $800 dinner felt like more than just a meal.

Weird to see a podcast app support chapters, and chapter images are visible on the chapters themselves, but the main player doesn't update the artwork to the chapter artwork. 🤔
