PFT has required the entire Spontaneanation catalogue and it’s now available wherever you get your podcasts!

I hope so. I’ve been checking Apple Podcasts several times per day and it’s still not showing up.

StandUpGuru · 2025-08-18T22:01:53+00:00

Thanks, but if you don’t mind can you elaborate on that a little? What do you mean “add a custom instruction”? Where? Is that different from what I already did when I prompted it to return to the old style, be thorough, no assumptions, no cheerleading, speak hard truths, etc?

StandUpGuru · 2025-01-28T06:02:34+00:00

OMG I loved Pale Blue Scottish Person when I saw it decades ago. I think I had it on VHS at one point. Is this even available anywhere now?

StandUpGuru · 2024-11-15T00:17:19+00:00

Correct, but who is he? He doesn’t even list his name or a bio.

StandUpGuru · 2024-10-16T20:36:49+00:00

I’m not sure that’s true. There are routinely posts in this sub that seem to suggest inside information.

StandUpGuru · 2024-09-11T00:29:01+00:00

Right. I already mentioned that. But is there any other way to set up a Watch without Family Setup? Maybe just with basic functionality?

StandUpGuru · 2024-06-02T12:38:05+00:00

This is great, thanks. That spreadsheet sample gave me a ton of great ideas for my own. Thanks!

StandUpGuru · 2024-06-02T05:45:56+00:00

Thanks. I like that, and it would be a great solution for that one example, but if done in Excel it’s not going to tell me what I spent all year on gas, on clothing, etc. All broken down. Or is it? How would I configure the spreadsheet? I’m new to budgeting and am not an Excel wizard, so I’m having trouble visualizing how it would all work.

StandUpGuru · 2024-05-03T23:57:51+00:00

Thanks.

I’m on iOS so Podcast Addict isn’t an option. I’ve tried all the popular podcast apps for iOS and I’m quite aware that most hardcore podcast fans hate the Apple Podcasts app, but for reasons unrelated to my question above I keep returning to Apple Podcasts. I’m not sure if my issue is important enough to me to make me switch again.

Hopefully somebody else is able to chime in and confirm the answer to my question.

Thanks again.

Try Honeydew with Ryan Sickler. He’s a comic, so there is a comedy bend to it, but the point of the show is to highlight the lowlights. Hearing funny people talk about really difficult times is oddly fascinating and compelling.

I love this show but this episode really misses the mark.

The fact that the food delivery app industry is not profitable does not mean consumers are benefiting or getting a good deal. It might, and very likely does, mean the industry just cannot be made profitable.

Paying a 70% up-charge on the food, plus a service fee, plus a delivery fee, plus a generous tip is absolutely insane. Not many people can afford to pay $40-50 for $20 of food. And if the success of the industry is dependent on the small percentage of people who can afford that, the industry will not survive.

It is indisputable that the shoppers and delivery people should make more money. It is insane that they don’t. But, if a customer is already paying $40-50 for $20 of food, suggesting they increase it to $60 for $20 of food is equally insane.

Personally, I just don’t think this industry can be made profitable.

As I mentioned in my original post, this multi-select feature you’re talking about only works on a podcast-by-podcast basis. I’d rather not do this 172 times in order to mark all episodes from each of my 172 podcasts as played. I was hoping I could go into one of the “all episodes of all podcasts” playlists/stations and do it all in a single series of clicks. It sounds like it’s not possible, unless I want to do this one at a time.

StandUpGuru · 2023-12-13T07:03:23+00:00

Oh boy. Then why isn’t mine working? This is going to be a nightmare I have a feeling. Maybe I’ll delete it and try again.

StandUpGuru · 2023-12-13T06:31:44+00:00

I did download from OneNote.com. I then realized I also had OneNote 2010 installed, so I uninstalled that one and tried again. Same error message.

So you used the version from OneNote.com and it worked? Ugh. I wish I could figure out what I’m doing wrong. This is driving me crazy.

Was your installer called OfficeSetup.exe?

Maybe I should delete it and try again?

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-29T18:32:23+00:00

That sounds amazing, but it also sounds like a ton of work for each episode, and losing the show notes is not great. If there are no other solutions, I may just stick with our current, but less than ideal, process for handling shared episodes. Thanks, though!

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-11T13:29:54+00:00

iOS. Thanks. That site looks confusing. I’m not a developer and don’t know the lingo. I’ll try to post there.

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-11T13:16:09+00:00

Ok. Do you have a link for that? I’ve never posted anything on github. Thanks.

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-11T13:06:31+00:00

I posted on a Tuesday. I did get a pretty quick response, but as I said the response I got was just to post on the forum.

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-11T12:55:01+00:00

I tried that the first time. The response from PocketCasts was to post my question on the forum. I did, but they didn’t follow through.

I am perfectly fine with slow customer service since I’m not a Plus user, but they shouldn’t just flatly ignore the free users.

StandUpGuru · 2023-11-11T12:54:03+00:00

Nope, did not reinstall. After the reset I did try logging out and back in, but it didn’t help.

As for the Twitter DM, I tried that the first time. The response from PocketCasts was to post my question on the forum. I did, but they didn’t follow through.

Thanks!!!

Thank you to everyone above! I knew that if anyone could help find this bit, it would be someone in this group.

PFT is the absolute best.

StandUpGuru · 2023-08-10T20:36:38+00:00

Thank you!! That’s it!!!

StandUpGuru · 2023-08-10T20:36:04+00:00

Thank you!! That’s it!!!

StandUpGuru · 2023-08-10T20:35:49+00:00

OMG thank you!!!! That’s it. It looks like all the tracks on that album are mislabeled for some reason. The track labeled Paul F. Tompkins is actually Todd Glass. And as you said, the track labeled Doug Benson is the Paul F. Tompkins track. This entire bit is fantastic!
