🎛️🎙️ 🔗 Scripting News
I need an easy way to do a mini-podcast. An idea that should be said verbally, but it’s short and self-contained, about the length of an untitled blog post, like the one you’re reading now.
💬 Dave Winer
I had the same idea back in 2019 @dave - I even created a 🔗🎙️snicklecast to describe what a 🔗🎙️snicklecast - and why it is.
Never cracked the ‘simple’ part though.
I THINK there is something like this in MicroBlog on a higher tier than I sit at.
🖋️ A Podcast and Transcript of Peter Kafka Talking to Roger Lynch
Roger Lynch reveals that Condé Nast’s survival isn’t about scale or content volume, but about brand authority and direct audience relationships, he suggests that when Google search collapses and AI platforms commodify content, only publishers with deep trust and “taste” that machines can’t replicate will make it.
If you follow me you will know that I don’t always listen to Lenny - but a big fan of his - and when he has a great guest … 🤯 .. 🔗🎙️ Simon Willison is one such great guest.
🔗 You Are Not Crazy - by Rushkoff is an interesting piece.
If you more aural than oral - 🔗🎙️this is the podcast version.
Interesting is not the same as great.
Finally ….
developers will need to focus even more on polish and making an app feel like a finished product
Hopefully that will not only be about Design and Interface, but also navigation and simplicity and all else that drives me nuts with too many apps. (Most if I am honest - some I stick with.)
In December 🔗🎙️Lenny talked with Elena Verna - head of growth at Lovable - and on the way through commented that ‘Minimum Viable Product’ is now table stakes - we need to be building Minimum Loveable Products.
Ok - self serving naming - but it is the same kind of thinking.
I was delighted to be joined on the People First podcast by Ramsey Avery who is the Production Designer for the Amazon series - Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power.
Wonderful conversation that I know you will enjoy.
🔗🎙️ Ramsey Avery - The Lord Of The Rings - The Rings Of Power
Discovered on my test blog from a year ago. (Clearly a space I don’t use a lot!)
A short extract from The Mike Hosking Breakfast show - down in New Zealand featuring Vantaset’s Craig Steele talking about Organisational Productivity - with a specific focus on Performance.
💬 Listening to 🔗🎙️this - Kara and Jesse Armstrong talking about Mountainhead - and this pops up in my Readwise.
SYNCH
🔗🎙️Kafka talking to Jay Graber - an interesting listen - BUT my takeaway as a casual listener was that sites like ‘PinkSky’ are the long awaited ‘seperate instances’ to Bluesky. But no.
There is still not a Bluesky instance that is not on Bluesky.
Disingenuous - or did I mishear?
About Those PE Companies
If you are a regular reader of this blog - you will know that I am no financial expert. I never even played one on TV - BUT - fascinated by it since the people in finance are (too?) often the one that dictate the funds available to do what I think businesses need to do. Today’s topic - PE. Which is NOT the same as VC. Not at all.
Preet talking to Ian Bremmer .. sensible talk.
Christopher Lydon … Tяump a real life Great Gatsby 100 years later❓
Only one third in - and we will get to the Silverlake/WPEngine fracas .. but for now a 🎙️🔗link to Lenny’s podcast and a wise thought.
Side note - no expert on how this is all going to shake out in the courts - but from what I read - I remain on Matt’s side.
There are an increasing number of posts featuring this thinking …
🔗🎙️Trump’s Mafia World Order - Alastair Campbell
🖇️ I think Rushkoff said it best.
I go in and out with 🔗🎙️Hardfork with Casey Newton and Kevin Roose. Topics aside the ‘out’ is often because they both have a habit of moving the tone of their voice up a couple of octaves which truly pierce’s my ear drums.
And just now I realized how much they also remind me of YouTuber 🔗📼 Ryan George — who can be very funny - and equally piercing.
🔗🎙️A Geopolitical Check-Up - Open Source with Christopher Lydon
Short and Excellent.
🔗 🎙️ Rushkoff - Corleone Style Diplomacy - 20 minutes, well worth a listen - a ‘theory of everything’.
