My podcast recommendation list is up to 130+! I can almost guarantee there'll be something in there for you. galenbeebe.com/podcast-recomm…

@y00ree @meuceph Yes, agreed. The fact that we still generally use one word for all spoken word, most RSS-disseminated audio content is bonkers. It’s the audio equivalent of having one word for all video content, from YouTube to Hollywood.

@meuceph @galenbeebe has talked about this too! And I agree

🧵of some open jobs in the podcast industry in March 2023:

@ahaburchak Thank you! The show I want isn’t on YouTube/the friend I’m listening with doesn’t have spotify premium, but these are super helpful to know about. I hope more apps introduce this feature.

@galenbeebe If it's on YouTube, then you can use this chrome.google.com/webstore/detai… On Spotify support.spotify.com/us/article/rem… Apple Pods doesn't support AFAIK

Is there something like Netflix Party, but for podcasts? I want to listen to a show with someone virtually.

At 5:30 tonight in Seattle, @akasomeguy and I will be reading from our forthcoming books at MadArt Studio. Thank you @Image_Journal and @eerdmansbooks for having us! #AWP23: Come hear some of LESSONS AND CAROLS! (Check the images for a few blurbs + a couple grafs from the book.)

@kristinleong @kcrw @naggarmeister Can. Not. Wait.

there's a scandal behind the story of how the The Lighted Tree came to life and it just be the perfect fit for @kcrw's #radiorace Your Secret's Safe With Me theme 😆🌲🥂 get ready @naggarmeister @galenbeebe sunset.com/recipe/the-lig…

@JohnWest is marrying computer art and classic writing once again. See all the stanzas at beebe-west.com/viz/leaves-of-… 🌾

The gov't doesn’t maintain a comprehensive public database of the mandatory financial disclosures of senior executive-branch officials. So, @WSJ built its own. For months, we pored over 31k filings from 12k senior officials across 50 federal agencies. Here’s what we found.

Someone needs to hire @JohnWest to do this for all podcasts

Listen to this ICYMI episode from @Slate to get more on why Serial didn’t free #AdnanSyed and what I think the @nytimes should add to those original @serial episodes. @SlatePodcasts podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ser…

Hey, it’s me! Thanks for the share @courtneykocak!

Happy bi visibility day! Pay attention to me 🙃

@LauraUbate Thank you for that correction!

@galenbeebe I'm missing the "North American" in it.

This piece basically asks "what happens when podcasting stops producing [blockbuster shows everyone talks about]?" and also, has it stopped? Here's a thread with my thoughts. 1/ vulture.com/2022/09/podcas…

@arithisandthat I did have a bear, but its name was Dot (named after the person who gave it to me, so philosophically close to the naming conventions behind Beary). I also had a stuffed dog named Fluffy. So all in all, remarkably accurate.

@galenbeebe You had a bear and you named it Beary

⭐️Timeline cleanse⭐️ Tell me the color of your childhood bedroom and your favorite subject in school as a kid and I’ll guess your stuffed animal’s name.

A whole great thread, of which this is my favorite tweet

@marulombarda @EscuchaPodcast He seemed to talk exclusively about narrative nonfiction limited series—or at least only took those seriously as blockbuster contenders.

@UncannyRobot Also algo recommendations and what gets attention in the media are (somewhat) separate issues

@galenbeebe Creatively risky shows are hard to promote. Algorithms don't favor content that's off the beaten path. They suggest to you more of what you already like. Shows that get attention in the mainstream media are the ones with household names attached, even if they're not that good.
