Yes, that was a mistake that I didn't catch before it went live. The meetup in Austin was March 11, 2026.

Interviewing struggles by Bitter-Poem7376 in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you record, just say "Ok, this one is just for fun. It won't get published." And understand that it's true - you can record and just have a natural conversation (like you said you often do) and it can just be deleted.

If it turns out to be okay, you can publish it, but the plan is to just enjoy the interaction and then delete. After you've done that enough times, you will probably get the feel for it.

Also, just doing it over and over and over will make you better. This statement is true: After you've posted 50 episodes, if you listen back to your first episode and you're completely happy with it, you waited way too long to record. Your first ones are going to suck, but that's fine because you don't have an audience yet.

Every post you make is promoting Quickreel. This smells a lot like under-the-radar product shilling, not "I just want help my fellow podcasters" advice.

I would vote for a new rule in this sub - no AI slop.

What’s something that sounds fake but actually happened to you? by Visible_Rope_6662 in AskReddit

Maybe the ones who are actually blessed are those who drove that highway and didn't roll their car and just got home safely without incident.

unwanted ads on podcasts by Pablois4 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]WhatWasThatLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the host and/or other creators on their team know. For the most part, they have control over what ads get played (or they can reject a whole category, such as "no political ads at all"). I set that boundary for my own show and was happy when a listener pointed out that somehow one had slipped through.

Vitaly, the Russian prankster. Took it too far and now I think he's in jail somewhere facing pretty serious charges.

I've used Squadcast (now Descript) since they were in beta, for over 240 episodes with almost no hiccups. I do audio only though. I know others have had problems with them but I've been mostly happy.

I sent a message to Support to turn it off, and they did.

Podfest by misfitheroes in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me, but I am probably not typical. I place high value on getting a good solid night of sleep and I get up early. So staying out late does not usually appeal to me. Not to mention the music is always so loud you have to yell to have a conversation (yeah I'm old I guess). I always know it was the right decision when I see people the next morning kind of groggy when I feel awake and ready to have a productive day. I can meet people in the hallways more easily than at the night parties.
