You know what’s weird? I announced my new podcast on here this morning. It’s the only place I put the link to Fountain. 49 downloads so far and 21 of them are from fountain. People are clicking through but not coming back to comment. Shows there’s more traffic than engagement.
….or the podcast is crap and they don’t want to hurt my feelings. 🤣 I can take it guys.
How do you like Fountain?
I’m honestly not a fan which I know is an unpopular opinion in the Bitcoin space but I think the UX is clunky and I’ve had trouble getting things linked up right. Happy to be a part of the ecosystem as it grows though. I know they’ll keep improving.
Yeah I considered/am considering moving ours to Fountain, but also not completely convinced it is the right move quite yet. Then again we are fairly random in our topics and guests, which is one of the reasons we are waiting for now. Glad you are here though, and will check out your pod as well.
What’s the podcast? Always glad to hear about podcast NGU.
It’s called Love & Hard Money. I had your buttery voice in my head telling me we need more bitcoin podcasts and I had denied it long enough. It’s a solo podcast focusing on the ethics of hard money. First episode is only 14 minutes on perpetual war financing and how fiat enables it. Next week I’m trying one that’s a little longer.
That’s awesome man. I’ll give it a listen.
Added into the playlist, I can't wait to listen
love me some ETHICS!!!!
Subbed and will check it out tonight on my drive shift. As a trucker, always enjoy finding thought provoking or informative pods to follow.
Nice man! Hope this one gets you thinking. I feel like the topic might be old news for most Bitcoiner’s but it’s my favorite orange pill: what if sound money could reduce forever wars?
Yeah, not new news, but thinking alongside my own views. For a first podcast, I give it a 7-7.5/10. Good subject, speaking clearly and easy to understand, no ums and uhs. Better than I would do, I am sure.
A suggestion though, there is often the sound of your breath at the end of many sentences, I'd assume that is a mixing fix or maybe one of those little screens that people put between their mouth and the mic? Not really sure, and don't want to be negative at all. Looking forward to the next episode.
I'd assume it being you're first time, you were a bit nervous. Like with any new skill... Again though, well done. Room to improve, but no one aces a new skill their first try. Good job, you got off zero unlike so many of us! 👍😁
Dude! That is such good feedback. I really appreciate it and I’ll try to improve on it in future episodes. The second ones already recorded but I’ll sit for the third and try to take some breaks in the recording. I recorded this one standing and found myself oddly out of breath as I was trying to maintain the cadence (even though I’m in reasonably good shape). Probably nerves. My editing skills are crap so I am trying really hard to record in one cut which means no pauses to catch my breath. The fix there is I need to learn to use Descript better. I’m committed to making it better with every recording. Episode 2 has a transcript so that’s a little improvement already.
Thanks for the honest assessment. Genuinely.
Great feedback you are getting. One other tip and an offer, shut down the fans/HVAC etc.. some background noise on the cast like a hum, and consider hanging some blankets in the space to deaden echo. If you want to I would be happy to do a quick edit on your audio to help clean it up, not sure I can do it go-forward but happy to show what can be done. Send me a message if you want to do that, I use Izotope RX11 for audio and can usually get stuff pretty clear. Still really enjoyed it and just keep going! Try to pick a release time frame and stick to that as well. Will really help people to know when to look for the next drop.
That’s a really helpful offer. I’ll message you about the second episode. I’d like to see what’s possible so I don’t have an excuse for being a mouth breather going forward (no one likes that). The first one was recorded in my kitchen so it’s probably the refrigerator you’re hearing. 🤣 I’m building a studio for myself in my basement so it will be quieter when that is done.
Subscribed, don't let me down. Need to see that feed fill up.
Next one is already recorded and edited. It will be out next Tuesday. Im editing the text of the third and reading Fraud Coin as fast as I can to draw some new ideas into it. and 4-5 are already in the planning stage. This will not peter out. I’m committed to weekly releases at a minimum. Thanks for subscribing!
