Hello. Welcome to Daily's for Friday, February 12. It's currently minus 15 degrees. Feels like minus 25 degrees with the wind chill, but this is not a weather podcast. This episode of Daily ish brought to you by FeedPress.

It is much appreciated and very much, I'm very grateful for the folks who do support me there and continue to do so and the post folks who've, stopped for whatever reason.
Speaker 1:I'm still grateful for their support. One thing we've done, just quickly mentioned with with the Patreon supporters, I've messaged all of them, to let them know, but, there's a Slack channel. I don't think I've mentioned this on the podcast. A Slack channel or Slack group that we've set up for anybody who supports any show on good stuff in any sort of way. They're welcome to join a special sort of listener and host supported Slack group.
Speaker 1:And so, shows like a good more the morning show and three guys for questions and Daily ish. And as others come on board, they'll be welcome to as well. But listeners and supporters of those shows are welcome to join our special Slack group. You just we just need your email address. So if you're interested and you're a supporter, through Patreon or like other if you just mail me money, I guess, too, you can get in access that way as well.
Speaker 1:And it's fun group. We just started actually a Minecraft server for the Patreon listeners as well. So if you're into Minecraft and wanna join a fun group of nerds playing some Minecraft on a server together, you're welcome to do so. Let me know if you have questions about that. My family is gone, and I oh, before I even I mean, go further, I need to apologize for the last what is it?
Speaker 1:Two days now that I didn't record a podcast? Terrible. Awful. I'm this has been a bad week. But I'm getting one in here by the wire on Friday.
Speaker 1:Family's gone gone to visit, my brother-in-law, Chris, who I occasionally do a podcast with, Lost in Lemon, and, not to visit him, really, he's inconsequential probably is because they're going to actually visit new niece and sister and my sister-in-law and stuff. I stayed behind because I've taken as you may have heard, in this podcast, I was in Mexico and have taken a lot of days off, lately, and so needed to just get kinda caught up on work. And so I'm living the dream, which means I'm currently eating nachos and enjoying an adult beverage at 10:48PM on a Friday night, which is probably exactly what I'd be doing if my family was here. The difference is, you know, I can I can work all weekend as much as I want? So that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Also, I can potentially sleep in, but my body has been come pretty attuned to waking up at 06:30 no matter what is going on in the world, no matter what time I go to bed because that's when our kids jump on us. And so we'll see. I'll I'll maybe report back if I think of it. Maybe I'll do some weekend podcasting in light of the lack this week. There's one thing I wanna encourage you to check out if you're at all curious about podcasting, but even especially if you're not, don't even worry about the podcasting sort of label, is a interesting little app called Anchor, a n c h o r, like the boat anchor.
Speaker 1:Anchor.fm is their website. It's iOS only, like iPhone, iPad only, right now so far, but it I'm sure it's they'll have an Android version soon. You can kinda think of it as like Instagram for podcasting. It's kind of a silly label to, like, say it's this for that, but it kinda helps like it's it's where you could do audio stuff without having to worry about too much production and you just talk into your phone. And you can actually use and listen to it as if you're talking on the phone, like making a phone call.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's a notification from Anchor actually. Speak of a devil. And so anyways, I've been post posting little thoughts on there as well as other folks folks from Good Stuff, Aaron Goodwin especially here, host of the new show on Good Stuff called three Guys, three Questions, which you should check out, good stuff. Fm/3g3q. He's been posting little thought thoughts and comments on there a lot and random folks who I don't it's it isn't really connected to your sort of Twitter, Facebook feeds in in any real meaningful way.
Speaker 1:And so it's kind of like different folks I'm meeting and so and and are interacting with on there. So it's kind of fun. We'll see if the novelty wears off of, like, listening to audio. It takes work. Right?
Speaker 1:And you have to be somewhere that you can listen or somewhere that you can record. It's not like posting a tweet or an Instagram picture or whatever. But anyways, I'll just play you this clip from someone named Ingrid, which I think is your real name.
Speaker 2:Okay. First of all, did you just mention Google Wave? Like, that is a pretty nice callback. And I think okay. I'm gonna do everything you just said, but I'm also gonna start a podcast so that I play, yeah, everything that you just said through my podcast.
Speaker 2:And yeah. And then if we can all just end up on Google Wave, that, the Internet will break, but my heart will not.
Speaker 1:So I don't know who is. I'm gonna turn off notifications now. I I don't know who Ingrid is, but she sounds pretty chill, pretty fun, and, interesting, and hopefully she'll start a podcast. Maybe it could get a host on good stuff. Who knows?
Speaker 1:But anyways, what's interesting is just the the voices and the thoughts and the things that are being shared on there that it's it's in like very personal. Right? It's audio. It's it's the person's voice so you there's no faking it and and you can't even be anonymous, really. I guess you have to sign up with either a Twitter account or a login.
Speaker 1:So I guess you could be anonymous, but it is, like, your voice that people are gonna hear. So I'm short of, like, running it through some voice recorder thing and changing your voice. Anyways, all that to say, you can basically record a two minute up to a two minute, sort of they call them waves, which goes with the Anchor, Nautical theme, etcetera. Get it? Two minutes sort of post or comment or whatever, and and then people can reply to your thing only in audio form as well.
Speaker 1:So it's not like there's comments or anything like that. You can either like someone's, wave or you reply with your own audio. And people don't have to go and listen to everybody's audio, obviously, and you can skip around and sort of scrub through somebody's audio. But it's only a minute long. It's not that long.
Speaker 1:And, and so it's been kind of interesting just to play with. And it's almost I I've been thinking about, like, I help people get started with podcasting and do editing for people with podcasting. It's kind of almost like a way to try out podcasting very cheaply and just getting used to the idea of your voice going out there and having other people hear it. And are you okay with that? And or does that make you, like, get hot sweats And not like the Nacho hot sweats, but like the, like, nervous hot sweats or cold sweats, I guess.
Speaker 1:Sweats of some sort. And it's, yeah, very frictionless, friction free, pretty easy to get signed up. It has an amazing, actually, for what it is, an amazing onboarding experience. Like, a sign up experience is so good. One of the best I've ever seen for an app, in my opinion, to get you onboard and using the app.
Speaker 1:And so I'd really encourage you to check it out. I'll put a link in the show notes to the the app, and I think I can link, yeah, I can link to my account profile or maybe one of my anchors or waves or whatever on there, as well. So I'm gonna now go play fire watch for the rest of the weekend because I have no vehicle, and it's cold outside, so suck at winter.
