More comprehensive show notes on the flarum forum. Enjoy this federated, self-hosted foss podcast about DIY and learning. Looking forward to expanding it to include more DIY, hardware and other sorts of projects like cooking and music. Added mixing through Stereotool, run off my old Pi.

    No offense, but this literally talked about nothing at all. The last half is just some ideas that don’t follow a cogent line from one thing to the next.

    You should try writing a script about a topic, and sticking to it . Especially if you don’t feel comfortable about speaking off-the-cuff facts about what you’re delivering. It connotes a lack of understanding and knowledge about a subject.

    Ask yourself when speaking about something: if a listener took something away from this speech, what would it be? Then write for that prompt.

        I hope it’s alright that I add to this a little.

        What draws me to podcasts are the topics that are talked about but what gets me to stay is the host(s). I heard in your first episode that you do masonry and landscaping. I’d love to hear more about who you are and how you ended up selfhosting. How did a masonry worker find themselves this deep in tech? Thats super interesting. (Please don’t take that the wrong way, I work in construction yet here I am)

        The 3 episodes you have could totally be split up into multiple episodes if you slow down and thoroughly talk about each topic and how they related to your situation.

        You tend to give some hypothetical problems that your listeners might be trying to solve with a few solutions but I want to know what problems you had, how you solved it, and how you might have iterated on that solution and made it better. And in the next episode, what did you tackle next? I want to hear your journey episodically 🙂

        Anyway, I’m subscribed. Good luck
