    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) – A Perspective Review

    The Night Sky has always held wonder. Stars in every conceivable corner. Flickers of light that not everyone can explain. The potential of there being something OTHER - than "US" out there. The concepts and sights make the mind reel. When I as 12, I SAW my first alien - albeit on a silver screen but - there - it - was.

    The New Olympic Policy on Protection of the Female — Discussing Differences in Sex Differentiation (DSD)

    If Editing Your Podcast Takes a LONG TIME, You’re Doing it WRONG!

    Editing takes as long as it takes - or DOES IT? There's a discussion/fight/war going on between those that think that Podcast Editing is not only easy, but can be completed in no time at all. Even the most-advanced AI-driven programs can't make the impossible happen and what often comes with the appearance of the impossible, is the disappearance of the fundamentals of Podcasting in general. What kind of value do YOU bring to those you give as a Podcaster or what kind of scope of work are you delivering as a Podcast Editor? What will YOU offer in the comments section or via the short webform in response? All of that and more will be shared inside this episode of the Podcast Gauntlet where we Throw-Down, Discuss, Rise & Shine in Podcasting! The ultimate success for every podcaster – is FEEDBACK!

Help The Podcast Gauntlet Grow!   The Shownotes for this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: https://youtu.be/-rGHcHxEEJs?si=0b1zqrAEEdOU9piB Timestamps for this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: 00:00 - Managing tight deadlines for weekly episode releases 03:25 - Editing challenges and maintaining quality for 24 podcast 07:16 - Time variations in video editing process 11:45 - Balancing efficient editing with host performance challenges 14:15 - Editing style changes and episode workflow 16:42 - Balancing workload, client expectations, and pricing 21:18 - Engaging with Audience on Podcast Editing Basics Questions Answered Inside this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: The "10-Minute" Fallacy: Why do you think new podcasters or clients often underestimate the time required for editing? How can an editor effectively manage these expectations? Efficiency vs. Artistry: Mike mentions that if editing takes a long time, you might be "doing it wrong," but then pivots to the need for "otherworldly" quality. Where is the line between being inefficient and being a perfectionist? The Weekly Grind: Mike highlights the benefits of a weekly schedule for accountability. Does a strict, frequent deadline improve the quality of a podcast, or does it lead to burnout? Audience Expectations: The hosts mention "instant reprisal" from listeners when content was late. In the modern era of "on-demand" media, is a consistent release schedule still as vital as it was 20 years ago? Raw vs. Produced: Bryan mentions the "hit record, hit stop, hit publish" workflow. For what types of podcasts is this "raw" style acceptable, and when is it a disservice to the listener? The "24 Podcast" Case Study: Using the example of a TV-fan podcast, how does the "shelf-life" of the subject matter dictate the speed at which you must edit? Value Proposition: Mike states that the goal is to make something "unlike anything else you can get somewhere else." What specific editing techniques (sound design, tight pacing, etc.) contribute most to that feeling of uniqueness? The Cost of Quality: If high-quality editing requires a 4:1 or 5:1 time ratio (hours of editing per hour of audio), how should independent creators prioritize their limited time? Evolution of Tools: The transcript mentions built-in "publish" buttons in modern tools. Do these technological shortcuts help or hinder the development of a podcaster’s "ear" for quality? The Editor’s Philosophy: Both hosts are "podcast editing-centric." How does being a professional editor change your perspective on listening to other people’s podcasts?

    Want Podcast Success? Try Spelling the Guest’s Name Wrong

    Regardless of the deadline, no matter what lurks in the day to day scheduling, we must always be vigilant to ensure that EVERYTHING is PERFECT inside our programing episodes... until it it isn't and then? It's time to just DEAL WITH IT and step boldly forward. You too have likely made a mistake (whether it be leaving a track you didn't mean to, spelling something errantly or - there are so many pitfalls in the land of content creation...) that could have cost or DID cost you dearly and we want to know ALL ABOUT IT. It's time to venture into the land of Podcaster Debriefs where - for whatever reason, it all goes WRONG. This time - it's misspellings and misidentification of arriving dignitaries. What will YOU offer in the comments section or via the short webform in response? All of that and more will be shared inside this episode of the Podcast Gauntlet where we Throw-Down, Discuss, Rise & Shine in Podcasting! The ultimate success for every podcaster – is FEEDBACK! Be sure to take just a few minutes to tell the hosts of this podcast what YOU think over at Apple Podcasts! It takes only a few minutes but helps the hosts of this program pave the way to future greatness! Not an Apple Podcasts user? No problem!

Help The Podcast Gauntlet Grow!   The Shownotes for this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: https://youtu.be/h30iG5uJ6to Timestamps for this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: 00:00 "The word 'that' consistently autocorrects wrong on my phone, becoming a unique identifier for my text messages." 05:35 Mistakes in episode content led to unnoticed errors in announcements and text, requiring video rerendering. 07:31 Mistakes prompt process improvements, ensuring errors aren't repeated, especially in unfamiliar scenarios. 12:02 I likely benefited from working overnight when fewer people noticed, and I plan to integrate another program into this show that aligns with audience interest. 13:31 Pilot recounts plane crashes, blending expertise and storytelling to engage and caution listeners. 19:27 "Reflect on a time before 24/7 digital access and share your thoughts on the Dewey Decimal System at podcastgauntlet.com." 20:26 Mistakes are inevitable; learn from them, recover, and keep striving.   Questions Answered Inside this Episode of The Podcast Gauntlet: Why do you think the misspelling of a guest’s name is such a big deal in podcasting, and what can it communicate to both guests and listeners? Mike Wilkerson describes the feeling when he realized the mistake as a “life’s pause button” moment. Have you experienced similar moments in your work, and how did you handle them? The episode discusses the importance of process improvements after making mistakes. What systems or checklists do you use to avoid repeating similar errors? How do you balance speed and attention to detail when producing content, especially under tight deadlines? Mike Wilkerson and his co-host touch on the influence of AI tools in content creation. How much should podcasters trust technology versus their own review process? The concept of a “podcaster debrief” is introduced as a way to share lessons learned from mistakes. What value do you see in sharing behind-the-scenes errors publicly? In what ways can mishaps, like uploading an episode with the wrong information, impact a podcast’s reputation and listener trust? The hosts talk about adapting and adding steps to their process after making mistakes. How can podcasters create a culture of continuous improvement on their teams? The episode includes personal stories of spelling errors across different fields. Why do you think name accuracy matters so much, even outside of podcasting? Mike Wilkerson concludes that “we’re all going to make mistakes.” How can embracing this mindset foster growth and resilience in creative fields like podcasting?

The memory of my Mom being in a Chuck Norris movie. Back in the early 80's my Mom was an extra, in the elevated train and news press corps scene inside of The Code of Silence - starring Chuck Norris.

Brian Banning - Crisis Negotiator mentions the Good Guys hostage rescue as a pivotal event for his department. How do major incidents like this shape departmental policies and team composition? What role do personal connections and shared experiences (e.g., knowing the same people, similar backgrounds) play in building rapport during a negotiation, based on Brian Banning - Crisis Negotiator's stories? Discuss the importance of "face-saving" strategies for subjects during negotiations. In what ways did Brian Banning - Crisis Negotiator use these techniques successfully? How does misinformation or withheld intelligence (such as the Idaho case) impact the outcome of crisis negotiations? Brian Banning - Crisis Negotiator talks about the importance of mentorship and ongoing skill development. What systems or structures can law enforcement agencies put in place to encourage this kind of growth? Reflect on the “force multiplier” effect of training others that Brian Banning - Crisis Negotiator describes. Why is this especially significant in the negotiation field?

    Revisionist Sports Medicine: Turf Toe

    We are closing out our miniseries where we pay tribute to one of my favorite podcasts, Revisionist History, hosted by the well-known author Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell describes Revisionist History as a podcast about things overlooked and misunderstood. There are many injuries or problems we see in the office or on the sidelines that patients, parents, coaches, and even health care professionals give a generic label or diagnosis. In some situations, it may be correct, but often things get lumped into a simple category which may lead to things not being treated or managed most effectively. This is episode 11 of this series I am affectionately calling “Revisionist Sports Medicine”, a series about things in Pediatric Sports Medicine overlooked or misunderstood.   Connect with The Host!
