🎛️ Snicklecasts
Snicklecasts are short form podcasts (by definition - 30 seconds or less). I will come back later and add a link to ‘why Snicklecasts’ and the exact definition. The majority of Snicklecasts are personally generated. There are some that are simply an extract from a Podcast. If that is the case - you will also see the 🎛️ Snicklecast ‘cross categorised’ with 🎙️Podcast.
🎛️ My second ever ‘Snicklecast’ was in 🖇️ March, 2019 and in it I defined a Snicklecast - and explained how 30 seconds came to be the maximum length of a Snicklecast.
Last night, the YouTube ‘algo’ served me 🔗📼 this last night … a short video of the street known as The Shambles in York … England.
I set the start of the video at 2 minutes and 5 seconds - just before the narrator referenced the ‘many’ Snickleways just around The Shambles.
The Coffee Yard - referenced in the Snicklecast in 2019 is not one of them. The map shows their relative positions.
If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
🎛️🎙️ 🔗 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.
🎛️🎙️ About ’That’ Film
I wrote about it back in mid July. 🖇️ Smelt fishy then. Still smells fishy.
Kafka’s podcast goes ‘off piste’ - but well worth it as it explores what exactly was/is going on with the movie - that’s in part one. In part two - the ‘other side’.

🎛️🎙️ The Future Of Income
Over the years I have used different words, different ‘lenses’, different ‘glasses’, ‘filters’ - but it all comes down to this.
And too quickly I am told that ‘UBI’ is not the solution, to which I point out that I never said it was. Delighted to hear David Wood making exactly the same point. He goes on …
what is happening is not business as usual.
I agree.

🎛️🎙️ How will YOU be remembered?
I have been struggling with a newsletter recently. Unlike the podcast - it isn’t about suicide, but rather - how people are remembered after death. (If you know the movie Coco - it relates. If you think about tombstones - it relates.) The 30 second clip gets to the nub.

A good listen … if these 30 seconds don’t inspire you to listen to the rest … well … then don’t.

🎛️🎙️ Kafka Talking With Professor Emily M. Bender
.. amongst others, but the clip is Bender talking.
It’s been a good series. Not down in the weeds - but neither a ‘duh’ podcast - of which there seem to be many.

🎛️🎙️ Bitcoin is Still The Future of Payments
🔗 Calling It Now: Elon Musk’s Micropayments Gambit Will Flop Big Time
Though Musk and Twitter aren’t specifically called out, it is clear that Lightspark’s David Marcus agrees - mainly because Micropayments can’t work while we continue to organize our payments as we do.
You should really listen to the whole thing, but this snippet particularly pertains to the MicroPayment comment above.
🎛️🎙️ Whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander
13 seconds that neatly encapsulates the People First challenge. Maybe AI will finally push open the flood gates

Experimenting with clipping out of Overcast. (Side note - Jessica Lessin is the founder and Editor In Chief of ‘The Information’.)

🎛️🎙️ Micropayments. Have their time finally come?
I don’t know - and I sure can’t tell from this podcast - but David Marcus sounds confident.

🎛️🎙️ Embrace The Future
The excerpt is not the main thrust of the podcast, but neatly summarizes the problem of rejecting, rather than embracing, what is clearly something that is part of the future.

🎛️ A couple of revised posts on the blog.
🖇️🎛️ Will Arnett doesn’t like the word content either.
🖇️🎛️ Why my term ‘English Progressive’ might make sense in musical genres. {🚧 BROKEN - SORRY}
Opening up a new category on the blog that I call ‘🖇️ snippets’.
More refinement might yet occur.
🎛️🎙️ English Progressive Redux
🔗 Andrew Hickey’s ‘500 Songs’ includes a good and interesting summary of why the UK and US musicians who ‘arrived’ in the 60s sounded so different, emerging, he argues, from significant social differences and country histories.
What do you think?

🎛️🎙️ That ‘Content’ word again.
You might have read my 🔗 many posts about ‘content’ .. and my singular objection to that word. Turns out I am not the only one. Will Arnett waxes lyrical about that exact issue on Smartless.

🎛️ A Snicklecast: Work-Life Balance … The Unsolvable Equation
Working towards work-life balance solves the wrong problem really well.
But I realised something else last night …
