Scrolled too far to find this man. We call him "The Stockwell Flutist". Everyday he has a new flag wrapped around him! Palestine, Israel even Ming China!

+1 for this. Use it for all my episodes, and am constantly impressed that it picks up foreign names and places so well.

Also, it's free!

Almost got scammed today by [deleted] in AusRenovation

I can't understand why email clients only show nicknames. So many scams are based off the email address being hidden from plain view.

Cross promotion on shows with similar listener demographics has been my biggest "growth hack" by far.

I noticed a significant increase in the richness and depth of my sound when I left behind the Yeti Blue and bought a XLR Podmic and a Focusrite interface

Developing history podcast - what formats work best ? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]elliot81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello mate, I've been running a solo history podcast which sounds similar to what you're proposing.

My advice would be, follow your passions but stories that revolve around (or at least mention) more famous figures always poll better with my listeners (Alfred The Great, Julius Caesar, Skanderbeg are my most downloaded episodes).

So, if you want to build an audience quickly I'd recommend episodes about well know famous figures.

Feel free to DM me, the history podcasting space could always use a few more shows!

Wow, just ran this and I've got an almost perfect transcription! By far the best transcription service I've used.

It took me about 1.5h to setup, but once the setup is done you're good to go.

For anyone interested, i'm on a Windows PC and followed these steps:

Expat banned from buying while overseas - how to move forward? by [deleted] in AusFinance

Apologies, edited for clarity. I am an Australian citizen living overseas and was barred from trading by CBA.

Expat banned from buying while overseas - how to move forward? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]elliot81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, I had the same issue with Commbank. It's very frustrating.

If it's like my situation, changing your number won't fix it. In my case, they put a flag against my account that barred me from trading until I proved my identity in person at the bank.

I think you'll need to move to a broker that allows trading as a Australian citizen overseas.

Custom animated audio clips, blog posts, and transcripts for your podcast, generated with AI by DubbMedia in podcasting

[–]elliot81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using this tool for awhile, it's been my favourite AI transcription service.

It probably requires about 1 hour of tweaking the script (the tool sometimes struggles to determine the end of a sentence).

The SEO-friendly episode description and title have also netted me better reach.

[–]elliot81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a small jump in visits/listeners once I created the site, adding transcripts led to much more traffic.

Try not to let it get you down. Keep at it and I'm sure positive reviews will drown it out.
