Consistency Makes It Easier and More Fun

Hockey is back and I’m still feeling chilled after being at the rink, especially with the gray, foggy weather. But this is not a weather podcast. I’m genuinely enjoying recording, publishing, and even editing every day, and the repetition has made it easier to turn on the mic and find things to talk about.

Dan Ryan on Cautious AI Usage, and How Helping Brings Hope

I talk with Dan Ryan, a software developer who also volunteers in digital equity work in Chattanooga, about using AI cautiously, political manipulation via social media data and AI-generated personalization (including podcast intros), a smart-home setup using Home Assistant, and how Dan finds hope for the future in the midst of all the things going on in the world today.

Petty Grievances: Canadian Banking Edition

I’m venting about Canadian banking frustrations, especially with CIBC business banking and TD’s Visa site. I spent hours on the phone with CIBC for a simple request, got bounced between numbers without direct transfers, and was hung up on while they looked up my account. After paying monthly business fees since starting my freelancing account in 2008, it’s been extremely frustrating to get decent support, especially as branches disappear in favor of poor online/phone experiences.

My Never Ending Search for a To-Do List System (and Why It’s Probably Me)

I talk about my ongoing struggle to find a to-do list/CRM system that actually sticks for both client work and home life. Looking back, I found a 2014 episode where I was dealing with the same problem and using Trello and Todoist. Now I’m experimenting with Finalist. Finalist looks great and helps roll unfinished tasks forward, but it also tries to be a journal/planner, which can feel like too much.

Low Energy Vibes for Monday (But With a Cool Story)

I missed recording on Sunday because I felt low-energy and uninspired. I’m trying not to beat myself up, and this year-long daily project helps me keep going even when I don’t feel inspired. A cool highlight that came out of doing this show was Transistor.fm’s customer service after a listener contacted them with an interesting request.

I enjoy a variety of podcast themes—film, music, comedy, politics, etc. and they’re all entertaining in different ways, but when I want an actual slice of life, I turn to Daily(isn). Host Chris Enns shares everything from family funnies to tech talk, and sometimes even brings his guitar. His honest approach and willingness to share whatever is on his mind—no matter how personal—will make you feel better about your life no matter what kind of day you’re having.

I listen to Dailyish most mornings while making breakfast for my family and I really enjoy Chris's musings, updates, and ideas.

This show is short, sweet, digestible, and thoughtful. Chris Enns muses each day on various topics. I always look forward to seeing his take on things.
Nice length

its safe anymore

Liking the sound of his voice. Looked for news of any device mergers for mobile listening. Harder to accept the podcasts that are too short on my device generally. Prefer clean lyrics and less tech jargon. Cute and short.
