Trick or Threat: Keeping Your Podcast and Website Safe This Halloween
Send us feedback/questions via Text It’s Halloween, and the scariest thing on this episode isn’t a costume. Jim is back from Brazil with an urgent warning: a serious PHP zero-day is putting WordPress sites at risk, and he explains why you should patch today or take your site offline. Dave has a deadline of his own: if you ever used Podcorn as a prefix, your podcast could break tomorrow. From there, the guys look at Instagram’s new 90-minute videos and ask who wanted them. They cover how to ru...

Upon Further Review: Taking a Second Look at Your Past Episodes
Send us feedback/questions via Text This week Dave and Jim dig into the messy, human side of podcasting — Jim debuts a brand-new recurring segment where he calls out his own mistakes from past episodes (yes, really), a listener spirals over editing software and begs for a faster workflow, and the guys argue over whether $9 a month is worth switching streaming platforms.

Is Podcast Advertising Doomed?
Send us feedback/questions via Text Adam Curry asked an AI agent to download the latest episode of a popular podcast and remove the ads. Eight minutes later it was done, and it turned out half the file was ads. Dave and Jim react to the clip and ask whether this is the end of podcast advertising or just the next round of an ad-blocking arms race that YouTube has already survived. Then they get practical. Why "cap it at 10%" might be the smartest ad strategy around. Why a $12 book sale beats 2...

He and Jim cover a lot this week. Video Version (unedited) Randy Black plays a before-and-after demo of Auphonic's new Studio Voice beta that turns an echoey 8-year-old Skype call into something that sounds like it came from a treated studio. A new industry stat puts Netflix at number three for podcast consum...

Dave and Jim tackle real live-show disasters this week, plus how to embed your own live stream on your website without touching an RTMP link, why AI keeps butchering your guests' last names, and whether those "automatic clip maker" tools are actually saving you any time (spoiler: maybe not).

Hobbies Cost Money - Quit Wasting Your Time
Send us feedback/questions via Text It's Labor Day weekend, but Dave and Jim aren't taking one off from the AI rabbit hole — this episode covers everything from free (and not-so-free) transcription services to the moment ChatGPT started recommending third-party apps mid-workflow, plus a candid gut-check for the podcaster who's 89 episodes in and wondering if it's time to quit. Throw in Audacity 4's big redesign, a debate over how often you really need to disclose affiliate links, and a war st...
