    Can You Still Make It as an Audio-Only Podcaster?

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. Can you still grow a podcast without video? With so much attention being given to video podcasting, it's easy to feel like every creator needs cameras, lighting, and a YouTube strategy just to compete. But is that really true? If you've been wondering whether audio-only podcasting still has a future, this episode is for you.

    Why We Miss AIM Away Messages

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. Before status updates, before social media profiles, and before we carried the internet in our pockets, there were away messages. A few lines of text attached to a screen name. And somehow, they mattered. In Episode 4 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores how AIM away messages became one of the earliest forms of online self-expression. From song lyrics and inside jokes to cryptic messages aimed at one specific person, away messages gave people a small but meaningful way to tell the world who they were. But this isn't really a story about instant messaging. It's a story about identity, connection, and a version of the internet that felt smaller, slower, and more personal. Why do people still remember away messages decades later? And what do they reveal about the way we communicated before algorithms, influencers, and personal brands became part of everyday life? Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t. Get involvedIf you enjoy Artifacts, you can support it with either a one-off tip, or become a monthly Archivist.

    Reverb and Echo Aren't the Same Thing

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. Reverb and echo are often used as if they mean the same thing, but they're actually very different audio issues. In this episode of One Minute Podcast Tips, I explain the difference between reverb and echo, why understanding that difference matters for podcasters, and how each one can affect the quality of your recordings. You'll also learn some simple ways to reduce unwanted room sound, improve vocal clarity, and make your podcast sound more professional without spending money on new gear. If you've ever listened back to your recordings and wondered why they sound distant, hollow, or "roomy", this episode is for you.

    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.

    Why Old Internet Forums Felt More Human

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. Before social media feeds, algorithms, and endless scrolling, the internet felt different. Smaller. Messier. More personal. In Episode 2 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores the strange emotional connection people still have to old internet forums - from recognizable usernames and chaotic communities to forum signatures, inside jokes, and the feeling of belonging to tiny digital neighbourhoods. Why did these spaces feel so human? And what did we lose when the internet became optimized for performance, visibility, and engagement instead of connection? From niche communities and message boards to the emotional texture of the early web, this episode explores why people still miss an internet that was slower, weirder, and more personal.

    The Dreamcast Wasn’t Supposed to Matter This Much

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. The Dreamcast failed. At least, that’s the official version of the story. Released on 9/9/99, Sega’s final console lasted only a few short years before disappearing from store shelves forever. But decades later, people still talk about the Dreamcast with a kind of emotional reverence usually reserved for much bigger success stories. So why does it still matter so much? In the first episode of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores how the Dreamcast became more than just a game console - it became a symbol of optimism, experimentation, creativity, and a version of the future that never fully arrived. From Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi to online gaming over dial-up and the strange emotional power of failed technology, this episode explores why some artifacts stay with us long after they disappear.

  7. Your Podcast Call to Action Might Be Too Broad

    Your Podcast Call to Action Might Be Too Broad

    Enjoying the show? Support it here. One thing that’s really easy to overcomplicate in podcasting is your call to action. Because a lot of podcasters feel like they need to ask listeners to do everything at the end of an episode. The problem is, when you ask for too much, people usually do nothing.
