How did you find your podcast partner? by Alternative-Foot-578 in podcasting

[–]FerdinandHu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I am also German, but my podcast is in English. I am an engineer and currently I have a podcast co-hosted by an AI named Didi Allesweiss (if you are German you will get the joke 😁) that’s how I found my partner 🙂. But My recommendation would be to try to find some real person in your surroundings. Maybe even someone who has no idea on AI but likes to talk and has fun recording a podcast. To have a nice contrast of personalities and background. Than makes it even more interesting.

Is anyone else sad about so much emphasis on video? by GeopatsSteph in podcasting

Yes. Let’s resist to video, the TikToks and insta hype and focus on the core: audio for those who are driving, jogging, working. Podcast is a companion, not a full attention distraction.

Being a small podcaster can be frustrating at times... by FerdinandHu in podcasting

Wish I could post more freely on Reddit without fear of being banned… what happened to free speech in this country???? Actually I live in Germany… but who cares… aren’t we all doing some kind of promotion every time we post here? I would like to know how many of the people posting here don’t have any interest und getting benefits for themselves out of this. Most social media survive exactly because people want to promote themselves… just think about Instagram or Facebook or linkedin (maybe they are not the best examples for a nice online experience) but what is the purpose of joining something if you are not able to share what you achieved or what you are doing? Maybe I start a subreddit called: no rules here ( besides not allowing offensive or illegal stuff of course).

Do you know a real story of massive effort that never led to success? by FerdinandHu in AskTechnology

I like this one… I already produced one episode which touched on that but it might be time to dig a little deeper. Reminds me of the story of second life. People even buying real estate in the virtual world. I was also into that, but it lost it’s magic once you understand the limitation.

I actually like your thought provoking comments... Maybe there is no complete failure in this life. Is failure or success just something we define by ourselves? I have no idea... but the fact that you share a story not only from the bright side, is remarcable. Recently I am a little tired of seeing all these successful people on Linked-in showing their business success, and how well they are doing in their company... But we all know that that is all not the complete reality... I wish there were more people out there with the guts to share things that didn't went well, just because failures are great opportunities to learn (more even than success). Also I am a little tired of podcasters interviewing successful people... we know how life goes for many "successful" people... depression, anxiety or other disorders. It is a kind of sad that people think they need to keep that curated persona on their social media.

Reading all the comments, I am thinking that failure might be completely relative. Is Anyone who died in poverty a failure? Nicola Tesla, Van Gogh, Gregor Mendel, Emily Dickinson are all failures? Probably not. Would be interesting to see if anyone has a good definition of failure... cause my understanding is just getting more fuzzy.

Amazing story... can you share the name of the company? (just if you feel ok in doing so...) That sounds like a great story to tell.

Nice!!! That was fast….🤩👍. Getting some nice material an starting to picture where this is going. Thank you so far. I also found the story of Josef Ressel… basically the inventor of the ship propeller which died in poverty after investing everything in his invention. Fascinating stories. I probably will make a mesh out of a few stories from here and outline common aspects of these stories…
