The Strange Emotional Power of Burned CDs

Enjoying the show? Support it here. Before streaming playlists, there were burned CDs. Carefully curated collections of songs, handwritten track lists, homemade cover art, and hours spent deciding exactly what came next. In Episode 3 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores why burned CDs became so much more than a way to listen to music. They were expressions of identity, creativity, friendship, and sometimes even love. From Napster downloads and LimeWire mishaps to the emotional labour of creating the perfect mix, this episode looks at how music discovery used to feel slower, more personal, and more meaningful. Why do people still remember burned CDs so fondly decades later? And what happens when convenience replaces effort? Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t.

The Podcasting Gods Were Not Done With Us

Rob Walch and Elsie Escobar reunite to host together for the first time in 159 days! They look back at their own "episode 28" milestones from 2005 to 2014 and share stories from other creators who found their rhythm at the same point in their journey. The conversation covers the launch of HLS video support in Apple Podcasts. Rob explains how this adaptive streaming works, why it matters for listeners who switch between audio and video, and why you might not need it yet if you are an audio-first creator. You will also hear about Rob’s time at SXSW in Austin, including his experience with Tesla's robotaxis and the growing influence of the city on the podcast industry. Finally, Elsie tries to break down the engineering behind Marco Arment’s new transcription system for Overcast and why it is a win for listeners. Guest contributors & insight in this episode: Danny Brown (Five Random Questions), Carolyn Kiel (Beyond Six Seconds), Stacey Sims (Diabetes Connections), Kristen Sundin Brandt (Cycling Together), and Steve Stewart (SteveStewart.me).

OpenAI TBPN Acquisition: Comms Strategy, Spotify AI Playlists & Summer House!

OpenAI recently acquired TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network). Rob and Elsie discuss the relationship between Sam Altman and TBPN’s John Coogan, the network's high production value, and what it means for OpenAI’s public-facing brand as they head toward an expected IPO. Elsie takes a moment to celebrate Frank Racioppi’s recent Forbes piece, giving him his well-deserved flowers for his thoughtful advocacy and committed support of the independent community. While the article is titled "There's A War Of Independents In Podcasting," Elsie highlights how Frank successfully name-checks the creators and shows that mainstream media often ignores. She suggests that while the "war" framing reflects the struggle against celebrity-driven network dominance, the real story is the robustness of middle-tier creators who are building sustainable, profitable businesses on their own terms. Finally, the episode looks at Spotify’s rollout of AI-prompted playlists for podcasts and the ongoing friction of cumbersome guest intake forms.

Artifacts — Official Trailer

Remember Winamp skins? Burned CDs? AIM away messages? The Dreamcast? Those weird little corners of the internet that somehow felt more human than everything online today? Maybe we don’t actually miss the technology. Maybe we miss how it made us feel. Artifacts is a podcast about forgotten platforms, dead gadgets, old internet culture, creative communities, and the strange emotional connection we still have to them. But this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s about why these things mattered. Why people still defend the Zune. Why some gamers are still obsessed with the Dreamcast. Why old forums felt more personal than social media. Why podcasting used to feel smaller… and maybe more exciting. Every episode starts with an artifact. And then follows the story underneath it. The people. The feeling. The moment in time. And what it says about who we are now. Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn't. I’m Danny Brown. And this is Artifacts.

In The White Waterfall

Imagine being behind a waterfall, as the water pours down and the froth collects at the bottom of the falls. The peaceful noise of the flow.

The Journey to Where We Are

Life takes us on many twists and turns. Some, we control, some, we have zero input on whatsoever. Some turns are full of hope, opportunities, moments that turn into memories. Some are full of desperation, and a reminder of the unfairness that life can throw at us any time. Like the friends I have that are impacted by cancer at the minute, and may be fighting a losing battle, no matter how hard they push back. These twists and turns make us question the validity of living life well. After all, if we live life to the best we can, and be the best we can, yet still be struck down by something as devastating as cancer… Why bother? Why live life well at all, if that’s our reward? Except… that’s not our reward. Our reward is continuing to live, and enjoy, and be happy, and bring happiness to others. Because that’s what defines us. That’s what makes us who we are, as I discuss on this week's show. Topics on the menu include How not to pronounce Glenmorangie :)How small decisions can make big changesHow leaps of faith can change livesWhy we should look at our life as a reward Settle back for a chat about fate, destiny, what we can and can't control, and why we shouldn't worry about the stuff outside our control.

The Boy Who Sneezed and Blew His Nose Off

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was a curious and adventurous child, but he had one peculiar habit: whenever he sneezed, he would blow his nose with incredible force. One day, as Timmy was exploring the woods behind his house, he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but the tickle was too strong. He let out a massive sneeze and, to his surprise, his nose flew right off his face and into a nearby bush. Listen in to today's episode to find out what happened.

Breaking Through the Noise: How Indie Podcasts Can Shine

What transforms a hidden gem of a podcast into a smash hit? In this episode, we delve into the critical challenges indie podcasters face: findability and fundability. These two intertwined hurdles often determine a show's success or obscurity. We also highlight the financial barriers, such as costly award entry fees and the steep price of outsourcing, which can amount to $12,000 annually. Solutions like curated discovery on platforms like Goodpods and potential streaming models for steady income are explored. And we emphasize the need for innovative approaches to ensure that quality content can rise to the top and reach its intended audience. Takeaways: Many indie podcasters face the dual challenges of findability and fundability, crucial for success. Findability isn't just about being on platforms like Apple or Spotify, but about discoverability by the right listeners. Fundability provides resources for better production and marketing, helping podcasts become more discoverable. Outsourcing basics can cost indie podcasters up to $12,000 a year, highlighting financial challenges. Platforms like Goodpods are attempting to level the playing field for independent creators through curated discovery. The podcasting industry could benefit from streaming payment models similar to those used in the music industry. Listeners play a crucial role in supporting indie podcasts by seeking them out and sharing them with others.

Why You Should Listen to A Downsized Life

A Downsized Life shares our journey as we look to live a simpler life, away from the everyday stresses of living in a big city, and all that entails. Join us as we share lessons learned, successes earned, and everything in-between. You'll hear from myself and my wife Jaclyn, as we take the plunge and move three hours north of our old home, friends, and more, and how we adapt (or don't). You'll also hear from our two young kids occasionally, and what the move and new life means to them - the ups, the downs, the somewhere in the middle. While we may not have all the answers, we promise we'll give our honest feedback and thoughts about making this move yourself, and hopefully help you along the way.
