Podcasting is an open platform, you don't need approval from Spotify, Apple, Facebook, Google or journalists to do a podcast. But that'll change quickly if it's seen that all podcasts emanate from big companies.#
Joe Rogan, if he had any guts, would give Spotify back their money and go back to podcasting and say whatever the fuck he wants. #
Brain trust query: I reported a problem with my Mac keyboard configuration, now I can't do screen captures. As I do more searching on each of these problems what's implicated in both cases is a problem of corrupt plists. I don't know very much about these files, but I do understand what they're for. It's possible I did something that blew out some of these files. I've started a thread to ask for help getting to the bottom of this.#
On the news lots about Joe Rogan and Spotify. They used the term podcast over and over. These are radio shows, not podcasts. When you sign an exclusive deal, it's no longer a podcast. Of course they don't care. But if you ever say they're not journalists they get hysterical.#
Lots of great advice from Jake Savin about getting studio monitors set up for listening in my work space. I once had Meyer Sound monitors in my work space when I lived in the valley. I think it's time to get some good sound in my mountainside workspace now. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
