This week on @theWeeklyListen, I talk about The Dear Hunter, with a favorite track of mine, The Old Haunt.

I’d love to hear what people think of the song.

These turned out even more adorable than expected.

Notes on the workflow for @theweeklylisten: Recorded with iPhone using Shure MV88. Edited in Ferrite on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Show notes composed in Drafts. Published with Wavelength. No Mac involved. Micro.blog handles all hosting and publishing to the feed. Super simple. This has to be the easiest way to get a podcast going. Thanks to @manton on making this all just work.

I finally managed to get my microcast going. Read about @theweeklylisten here. 🎵🎙

The Weekly Listen - a Microcast

All the pieces finally came together for my microcast. Special thanks to @apulianas for helping me with the concept.

It’s called the Weekly Listen. Every week, I’ll talk about a track I’m listening to from my music library. Links will be in the show notes to Spotify and Apple Music so you can check out the music for yourself. Then, we can discuss here on micro.blog.

Subscribe in iTunes or your podcatcher of choice, and follow @theweeklylisten.

The first episode talks about one of my all-time favorites: East Coast Raser, by Big Big Train.

Didn’t need to let me know that one. But okay.

Do Not Drink This Water Sign.

I am really enjoying editing audio on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Ferrite. People who think a touch-based OS is not suited for professional tasks baffle me. Sure, not all professions lend themselves to touch, but creative work? It’s a no-brainer.

Concrete floor with cracks.

Brick wall.

Really happy with how these transitions are shaping up. Now I just have to actually figure out what I want in the views themselves.

Light, hanging from ceiling of a coffee shop, with blurred view of city street in background.

Whatever else happens today, there’s a new Big Big Train album to listen to, so I’m going to have at least an hour and fourteen minutes of bliss.

I realize I’ve been totally crap about adding appropriate alt text to my pics on Micro.blog. Fortunately, I’m able to go back and remedy that after the fact. Editing post ability, FTW.
