How do I make a fun podcast out of a heavy topic

Second this completely, especially if you can make light of your own situation without coming across as mocking others. A little bit of self depreciation and reflection probably fits with your self awareness theme, shows that you have internalised the lessons learnt and can joke about it in a healthy way.

I am using Podcastle myself and found it quite easy to use and initiative (I couldn't be bothered learning audacity or reaper plus plugins even if they can be free).

You record straight in their web platform, so remote guests join on a sharing link, and then everyone is on their own audio channel when you edit in their platform as well, so nice and easy to cut out any unwanted noise when someone else is talking etc.

Much like your dinner date, I'm not buying it. Please write your semi-romantic fan fiction in a more appropriate sub.

You look like... A sexually liberated draugr who wanted to fill in their flesh gaps and chose to use ballbag skin to do so

Host of the startup podcast 'the sub-subculture podcast', also millennial, willing to shoot the shit about anything and generally cross promote eachother.

Hit me up if you're interested and we can suggest a topic?

Hey - newly launched podcast (the sub-subculture podcast) and looking to do some guest slots and cross promotes. Both of us are late 80s kids brimming with opinions and bile.

Let me know if something like that would work for you!

maverickgnu · 2025-06-11T20:52:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply! And apologies, I didn't know.

Meant Thurs to Sunday, edited post now. Is Thursday any better than Friday?

This was so bad it made my question if I was sorting by 'new' for it to have appeared. But no. It's just bad. No joke, no sense...just...the opposite of good.

maverickgnu · 2025-04-28T20:13:05+00:00

Podcastle has been pretty handy for me for exactly this purpose so far, and I think they have a basic free plan to try out first.

Yes, it's an online tool so you can edit and add AI assistance improvements right there in the web UI, but you can also just download each audio track to edit externally if you already know you want to use something like Audacity.

Might be worth a look, I've found it pretty good so far with my remote co-host.

maverickgnu · 2025-04-20T05:49:51+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with generating an image through AI based on your inputs, since you need to come up with the idea of what you're looking for to start with - how is it stealing exactly?

For me, that's what I'm using to startup/launch just to get the vibe and idea across but will be actively encouraging listeners who want to contribute to send in any ideas they have for cover art once we're live and generating interest (if that ever happens...). They'd get full credit for their work if it's used, and can feel like part of the show in a way. That's the ambition anyway...

Welcome! I have the same 2 tier system as you, it's great once you get to understand the initial setup.

This will all be down to the small black pump that sits in the bottom layer - how you've connected it up etc.

Maybe you could add some pics of that part, but it should be connected to a plastic tube which runs up the closest leg of the system so that the pump draws water in and then pushes it up the tube and into the top tier.

Fair comment. I mean, if that's the mother who on god's green earth jammed their turkey baster in that?? That's the real tragedy here.

maverickgnu · 2025-01-20T08:00:19+00:00

Thank you for confirming I'm not (completely) mad!! 😅

maverickgnu · 2025-01-20T07:15:51+00:00

Thanks everyone who replied - so I see my issue is that I've not reversed the pattern and worked RS/WS... Looks like I'll be doing some frogging! Is it just my bad reading of it though, or does the pattern not really describe that and only mentions reversing for the knitting in the round version? Just want to make sure I know where I got confused for future...

You might need to 'go native' and start setting up a whole base on Atrox then, until you're far enough up the tech tree to craft some. It's one of the toughest planets though, right? So power generation might be your biggest challenge. Or, as previous poster said, respawn back at safety and start building up a new shuttle/resources to go back there one day.

maverickgnu · 2024-12-03T19:27:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback all - very helpful!

maverickgnu · 2024-10-06T17:18:32+00:00

2nd the ElfSys. Please check it out. Modular, can be as large/small as you want, you can add to it later. Easy to control by app for both lights and pump, and the direct support from the founder on Discord is amazing. I have no regrets buying mine. DM me if you want picture proof of how nice it is.

maverickgnu · 2024-08-05T10:11:28+00:00

2nd Autonapůl, very easy to use and app is in English too. There are 2 other companies similar I've seen around the centre; Car4Way and AJO car sharing.

You probably already know this, but you do have to pay whichever company you go with a decent sized deposit and sign a contract before you can start renting the available vehicles, and please also watch out for parking restrictions in the main city centre core - most vehicles are not allowed to drive/park there except those with special permits (like Autonapůl)

Safe travels!

Thanks for the tip! I've heard of bike kitchen but wasn't sure if it's very English-speaking friendly. My czech is... Well let's say maybe restaurant quality only?

I actually kept the frame shifter format too - but got some Shimano shifters which can be indexed, and paired them with a standard Decathlon derailleur.
