Here's what the global 24/7 podcast activity looks like. Just built podscape.fm: a real-time globe showing new episodes as they're released worldwide. Powered by the Podscan Firehose API. Every conversation transcribed. Every insight captured. The data never stops.

Kinda glad I chose revenue, social reach, shipping, and solopreneurship as the pillars of my founder journey.

It occasionally hits me that the „You wouldn’t download a car“ anti-piracy ad was just as serious as „frontier LLMs couldn’t possibly be trained without copyrighted materials“ is now.

I've never seen anyone NOT be successful with this kind of rage bait :D

Do you use Twitter with the intention to make money?

The em–dash —you know, this little guy— is currently understood to be s surefire way to detect AI output. But since AI trains the people who use it just as much as they train the AI, I have a feeling that soon, it’ll be a popular way to write. It’s feel normal. (Again.)

Best part of working from home: when a very small bunny jumps into your basement office window well and you get to rescue it. And meanwhile, Claude Code is working hard 🤣

Voice cloning is horrifying for every creator out there. The more we make public, the more an AI can be trained on it. And all of a sudden, we lose reputational control over what people hear "us" say. Affordable voiceprinting and tracking is needed.

Ha! Podscan just told me that Ian Landsman talked about our customer service chats inside Podscan on the @mostlytechpod show :D Besides Podscan telling me I'm mentioned less than 10min after the ep came out (🥰), here's a question: how available is TOO available for support?

Serious question: What do you do while you wait for Claude Code to finish?

When you start a business — hopefully by picking an audience you really want to empower — know that this is going to be a multi-year commitment. Be ready to identify with the business for a long time.

There’s this amazing physician that uses Podscan to get all transcript of 100 or so expert medical podcasts in one field, puts them into o3, generates super-accurate newsletters, and sells them to doctors who don’t have time to listen. So much value in podcasts.

And then, there are days when a $500/month customer churns. It's ups and downs, all day, every day.
