🎙️ Oooh thanks @ChrisLawley@mastodon.social for this Shortcuts tip! I’d wondered if you could open web apps with it somehow.
🎙️ This episode of the Severance podcast might be one of the best episodes of any podcast I’ve ever heard. They got Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard on to talk about an episode — they’re superfans of the show — and I’ve never wanted to be friends with anyone more than I want to be friends with them. 🤣
🎙️ Dammit @biff@zeppelin.flights, how did you get me to tear up just listening to you talk about Logan, which I haven’t seen in years. What a powerful film. (@Gte@mastodon.social calling back to Logan “dying with his heart in his hands” really got me.) 🥹🫡
I should probably start listening to Zane Lowe’s show on Apple Music, because I always love artist interviews when I happen across them. This one with Maggie Rogers on NPR Fresh Air was short, sweet, and wonderful. Hard to believe she’s my age. 🎙️ overcast.fm
🆕📝 Overcast Podcast Listening Stats for 2024
I waited till the end of the year to share my total stats. It's...a lot of hours. 😳 🎙️
🎙️ Having heard you say how much you wanted to be a parent someday, I couldn’t be more excited for you, @imyke@myke.social (and Adina). I’ve loved hearing all the baby talk. It really has been quite the year! 🥹 Good luck! 🤞 overcast.fm/+AADAvLi-…
🎙️ One of the best explainers for the three types of fun I’ve heard to date. And I like what he says at the end; it’s in type 3 that you really grow. dirtbagdiaries.com
🆕📝 ‘Dictate a Note’ is my new favorite shortcut (and that’s saying something)
I'm dictating ideas and tasks left and right, with gloves on, while hiking, without looking. Nothing escapes me! 🎙️
🎙️ I snorted so hard it hurt. Thanks @rebound@hachyderm.io. 🤣 overcast.fm/+AADe1njn…
🎙️ On an episode of one of my new favorite podcasts, The Sharp End, from about five years ago, I heard a shout-out to someone I know in real life! Another local climber and hiker, Matt Baer, apparently won a climbing helmet giveaway back then. Makes the world feel a little smaller, in a good way.
Hold up, gotta go pre-order some AirPods. I’m so intrigued by their no-ear-tips-but-still-noise-cancelation magic. 🎧
Oh boy, we’re hardly out of follow-up, and @connected@relayfm.social is already way off the rails. 😂 Gonna be a great one! 🎙️
I promise you’re not ready for the utter madness that is this very real training video from Waffle House where they show how they’ve made a new “written language” of sorts with food and condiment packets to represent every possible variation of their menu.
The joys of a decade+ friendship are quips like this on @atpfm@mastodon.social. 🤣 🎙️

🎙️ Thanks @coreint for the reminder that big goals can start small — even ones that you used to be pretty good at so now it feels silly to start over. I did 5 push-ups this morning and will do at least 5 before I go downstairs each morning. 💪
🎙️ Ooh I do like this thesis of Robert Caro’s (of The Power Broker fame):
Power doesn’t corrupt, power reveals.
Question for the peanut gallery: when using emoji as hashtags (tagmoji) to categorize a post, should they be at the beginning of the post or the end?
🎙️ Very much enjoyed this episode of Scriptnotes with Christopher Nolan. I’ve never read a movie script and know very little about film-making. Still, his thoughts on how a script should come together and translate onto the screen are fascinating. Great interview by @johnaugust@mastodon.art!
Things feel a little better in the world after a long-overdue airing of the grievances about the Apple TV interface from @hotdogsladies@mastodon.social and @siracusa@mastodon.social on RecDiffs. It’d sure been feeling off-kilter over here. 🎙️
Just some wildly diabolical stuff you aren’t taught about the United States' pro-Nazi bits in the lead up to our involvement in WW2. 🎙️
You know, I hadn’t considered that when you allow people to say and follow terrible things on your ad-driven platform, almost by necessity will ads be served up next to that terrible content for those users. As Ben says, it does put ad-supported (vs. subscriber-only) networks in a pickle. 🎙️
Holy smokes, the lengths the Planet Earth crew went to for getting both the shot and to take care not to disturb the critters nor their habitats are jaw-dropping and heartwarming. 🎙️
