We attempt to walk through our podcasting process before we drift off into dreamland and through to tech talk.

In short, our podcasts are recorded remotely, and we talk and screenshare over Zoom (previously Discord). We publish with Simplecast. Geoff records on a microphone, Georgie records on her iPhone using Voice Memos. Geoff puts the audio clips together in Audacity (the audacity!), and we use Otter to transcribe our episodes, which are later refined by Georgie. Simplecast also helps us create audio clip snippets to share on social media.

Things we discussed:

  • Zoom (we’d be surprised if you don’t know of this already!)
  • Discord
  • Samson Q2U (Geoff's mic)
  • Anchor fm by Spotify
  • Simplecast (what we use to publish our pod, which costs a small fee per year)
  • Otter.ai (what we use for transcripts, which Georgie later edits—we choose to pay a small price for features)
  • Apple Fitness+ (plus)
  • Apple keynote transitions (video)
  • What does it mean to dream
