- Oooh, nice. I just saw it, so I heard small pieces of it, but I'll try to listen the whole thing tomorrow! (NM) - Marlowe Jul 12, 21:12
- This was an excellent listen. I did notice a bit of a rough edit at the 78 minute mark - not sure if the podcast platforms let you push out patches -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 20:49 9
  - I'll give it a listen. Thanks! -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 21:14 1
    - Someone forgot to hit SAVE during an edit. I'm not saying who. - Mop Jul 12, 22:52

    - And we cut two stories! -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 21:14 5
      - almost everything I listen to is in the 30-60 minute range. -- nm - mafic Jul 12, 21:38 4
        
        I think we can keep it to 1 hour flat. -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 22:10
        
        Should we break this into two episodes? -- nm - David Jul 12, 21:46 2

        Mop actually sent an incredibly thoughtful planner for the episode today. I just talk too much. So, it's 100% on me. -- nm - David Jul 12, 22:21
- LOL that the great white reference made it in -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:55 2

  - You’re in your head too much. It never even crossed my mind. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:39
  - I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think a listener would complain about a faster talker versus, say, a slow talker. - Mop Jul 12, 19:38
- In the future, everyone is going to have a podcast. Mine will be promptly banned. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 19:03

        David definitely just lost you the Tiktok audience, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 20:03 1
        
        Let's we honest. We lost the TikTok audience after 15 seconds. -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 20:08
        
        I don't think so, because it sounded like the highest of compliments to me. They'd have the good sense not to invest. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:55
- is this on Apple Podcasts as well? -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 18:56 4
  - It looks like Anchor submits to all the platforms but only Spotify immediately approved it. We'll have to wait for the others. -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 21:16
  - This is apparently possible. We will investigate. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:46 1
    - Make it So. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 20:44

  - I wonder whether Golden State has an "all professional sports" trademark kind of thing with Warriors. -- nm - TWuG Jul 12, 18:58 1
    - Maybe they're negotiating with Canada to use the Roughriders -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:00

  - Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:44
- Looks pretty sweet. It takes a lot of work/practice to do this. You need a Colinski. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 19:05 1
  - It would help, yes. Heh. I'm trying to branch out from just photography, so using some of the video tools is good - but audio is hard. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:44
