Wonderful! podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
Everyone can use a bit more optimism in these pandemic times; this podcast features Rachel and Griffin McElroy talking about things they enjoy. It’s such a cheerful podcast. (See also the related site wonderful.fyi.)
Pod4Ham podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
A fascinating podcast about the musical Hamilton, where each episode features different groups of interesting people talking about a single track from the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
Upgrade podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
An excellent Apple-focused podcast, that talks about hardware, software, services, and related topics. Topical today, they have excellent discussion of WWDC announcements.
With the addition of the recent ATP, Upgrade+, and Connected Plus subscriptions, I’m now paying over $100 per month for podcast & blog memberships. Which while a lot, is worth it to me for all the hours of entertainment they provide. And in several cases, bonus content like after-shows, unedited shows, or no ads. I wish more of my favorite podcasts offered such options, especially no ads. 💵📡
For completeness, one more example of supporting things I believe in and enjoy: I also joined the new Accidental Tech Podcast membership program. 💵
Release Notes podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
An excellent weekly podcast about the business side of indie development: “inspiration, design, marketing, business, trends, and tools – everything but the code”.
I admit, I usually skip podcast ads that I’ve heard lots of times before, but I rewound Upgrade 295 to listen to the Fully spot, and was glad I did; a fascinating story. Visiting their site, interested to see they’re Portland-based, too.
Listening to the Release Notes podcast, I was sad to hear @DazeEnd and @joec say they don’t plan to hold another conference this year (and possibly ever); I really enjoyed attending last year. But I totally understand their reasoning.
I sell my Dejal Time Out app via a supporter model, and like to help support other creators that I enjoy.
I’m a supporter / patron / member of several podcasts, including (in alphabetic order):
I typically go for the $10/month or annual equivalent level, where available (I do prefer annual). There are lots of podcasts that don’t have memberships that I’d support if they did, including the Accidental Tech Podcast and The Talk Show; I contribute to those by buying their merch.
Check out those podcasts if they sound interesting, and please consider helping to support them if you enjoy their work.
(Sometime I plan to do a series of posts on the podcasts that I enjoy, if that sounds interesting.)
Congratulations to Stephen and Myke of Relay FM on their five year anniversary! My favo(u)rite podcast network; I listen to numerous of their shows, and am a member (highly recommended, if only for all the bonus content).
