@biTRACIal @BryanBarletta @arithisandthat @TransistorFM @buzzsprout @podbeancom @getredcircle @spreaker @sounder_fm @libsyn Curious: what terms were you searching? I’ll try to improve those Google searches for next time. 👍

@garrytan Congrats! 🎉 Awesome opportunity.

@clairestamant Great list! Thanks for sharing it. 👍

@iamjeremyenns 💯

@alphacolin Was part of the mistake showing pricing in this way? (Is it better to hide pricing and get them to contact you?)

@JamesCridland @PodcastMovement @Podnews You should do a session at @SoundsProfNews on “real world a/b tests and conversion rates.”

@NICKFRESH @TransistorFM 🙌🕺🏼🔥

@VicVijayakumar @PodcastMovement @tedhosmann @MbyM @HatchEdits 🥰 thx!

@bentoalson @stauffermatt I’m down, anytime.

@GeoffTRoberts 💯

@Tsukio_scoring @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Thanks for listening (and sharing). 🙌

@BlakeThompson @stephenrobles @PodcastMovement @zkahn 🤣

@zkahn @karaswisher @waltmossberg @WSJ @ApplePodcasts I’d never seen this one from 2003 before!

@KateMYoung @ash_shroy @PodcastMovement See you there!

@SamuelLazarus @doubleelvisfm See you there! 👋

@RollosDeMujeres 👋 see you there!

@Podverse Oh no! Hope you make it.

@dohertyjf Hey! 🙌

Next time, I’ll stay for awhile and come for a visit. 😄

@mignano @PodlandNews @JamesCridland @adamcurry @samsethi @m_downey @Podverse The HTTP standard has continued to evolve since its 1.0 introduction in 1992.

HTTP/3 was just published in 2022! That feels like pretty recent innovation.

The protocol itself can stay boring as long as it continues to create the environment where other innovation can emerge.

@mignano @PodlandNews @JamesCridland @adamcurry @samsethi @m_downey @Podverse HTTP is so much more than web browsers though!

Most apps these days use http as the protocol for their API (this drives a ton of innovation).

Feels like you’re artificially narrowing the scope of how most open standards work.

(TCP/IP has also driven a ton of innovation)

@zencastr @bheater @TechCrunch Congrats on the launch! 🎉

@JoelKlettke Terrifying

@jhooks Hahaha. That driveway looks like a lot of strongly-worded letters in your mailbox. 📬😅

@ChaseGiunta @PodcastMovement Uh oh. All I brought was short shorts and tank tops. 😆

@asmartbear Folks often look at pairing back subscriptions in a recession (or look to save money on subscriptions).

Raising prices now could increase churn.

Most SaaS would rather have the LTV than short-term bump in revenue I think.

@sol_orwell @Examinecom That’s definitely worth celebrating 🥳

@ianlandsman Yes! That’s your “Startup Advice with Uncle Ian” booth. 😄

@nbashaw Curious: what are you (or your editor) using to edit the podcast?

@nbashaw Agreed. 👍

@SteveSaretsky So you don't think housing will follow the same trend we're seeing in other sectors?

https://twitter.com/tylertringas/status/1559943002495352832

@JoelKlettke @levelsio 🎯 Exactly.

@andresgutgon @levelsio Sorry. Had to edit for clarity:

@JacobBennett @michaeldyrynda ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

More like "Too hot to handle." 🔥🔥🔥

@ScottTruhlar @JimminyJilickrz Except I lived for decades not valuing money (grew up on a commune, did social work for 10 years, etc).

This isn’t about materialism or the hedonic treadmill: it’s about having the resources to take care of yourself and the people you love.

@JacobBennett catching up on the news: YOU SHAVED YOUR MUSTACHE?

@michaeldyrynda YOU’VE NEVER HAD ROOT BEER?

@JohannBeukes Yup. The trope is overly simplistic in a variety of ways:

$75k in 2010 ≠ $75k in 2022
$75k NYC ≠ $75k in Boise, ID
$75k for family of 1 ≠ $75k family of 4

@MrSimonBennett Generally:

Handbook: https://github.com/TransistorFM/handbook

Internal docs: Google Docs

Project stuff: @useShortcut

Chat: Slack

@drewclemcr8 💯 Same for me:

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1560696789971283968

@AndrewWHacks 🎯 Exactly this.

For most people "more money = more space and opportunity to have the life they want."

@PrestwichMckay Yup. Exactly. The trope is overly simplistic on a variety of fronts:

$75k in 2010 ≠ $75k in 2022
$75k NYC ≠ $75k in Boise, ID
$75k for family of 1 ≠ $75k family of 4

@chrisfosterelli In my original draft, I qualified this by saying "for most people."

In Canada, only the top 10% earn more than $250k /year.

For the vast majority, earning a median of $62,900, doubling their salary would provide a dramatic increase in life satisfaction.

@AndyGCook 🎯 I dig that.

@jackmcdade Love these two.

Meeting interesting people in high-leverage fields is especially potent.

@calebporzio Nice! 🙌

@zkahn @ApplePodcasts These look great!

Doing some research for an article and found this bit of audioblogging (podcasting) history by @baconmeteor from 2004!

@mindsondesign Thanks!

@brennandunn @HelloPalladio @ConvertKit Just purchased it! Excited to try it out!

@jamesbrowning @TransistorFM Love this idea. We talked internally about something similar. 👍

@trymicro @jonbuda Haha.

Back when we first teamed up, we recorded this episode.

@takeitev @TransistorFM Thanks!

@thefirejar I’m just realizing this! I’ve always thought I’d externalities as inherently negative costs imposed on society by businesses.

@noahwbragg @potion_so Congrats! 🎉

@tim_abell 🙌

@candidandcringe @TransistorFM Congrats!

@kwuchu Those look awesome!

@nyseans @elonmusk @shl I think I was stronger than “grow up.”

Elon’s behavior is arrogant, feckless, distracted, and (ultimately) destructive.

He’s not someone we should admire or emulate.

@JordanGal Great post. 👍 Lots to think about there!

@anghollowell @TransistorFM Thanks for spreading the word! 🙌

@MattGiovanisci did u swim tho

@TheOmarZenhom True

Lots of 429s 😅

@marcoarment hey, we just noticed the Ping API and we're starting to use it for our @TransistorFM customers.

Throttling seems aggressive though, what would you suggest for our limits?

@SamHartmannCom @shl @csallen @ChanningAllen Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@dgkeyes @iChris @marcelladotco @jasondoesstuff @noahwbragg @thisiskp_ @ForaLiving_Pod @phuctm97 @connor_lindsey @yongfook @TransistorFM Personally, I’m trying to reduce the number of return flights I take each year.

Used to take 6+ flights.

Goal for 2022 is to reduce it to 3 flights. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1460320712078417920

@iChris @dgkeyes @marcelladotco @jasondoesstuff @noahwbragg @thisiskp_ @ForaLiving_Pod @phuctm97 @connor_lindsey @yongfook @TransistorFM Yup! Feel free to ask questions!

@yongfook Curious: what kind of meeting? (Sales, podcast interview, demo, partnership)

@dennmart @jonbuda Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

@thejonotron Powder. There’s just no feeling like showing up and getting awesome turns. Doesn’t happen too often!

@_joe_stone_ Nice! See you there! 🙌

(It’s my first time going to @PodcastMovement)

@JackEllis Yes.

@RyanBakerSLO @arvidkahl @tibo_maker @ConvertKit @notion @TransistorFM @DescriptApp @Photoshop @hypefury @TweetHunterIO We'd love to have you as a customer. 👍

@RyanBakerSLO @arvidkahl @tibo_maker @ConvertKit @notion @TransistorFM @DescriptApp @Photoshop @hypefury @TweetHunterIO Lots of bootstrappers and indie makers use Transistor for their podcast. 👍

Here's an example of how podcasters are using Dynamic Ad Insertion:

🗣️ "Hey, sign up for our newsletter!"

@CoachBrockArm and @NutritionDiva use @TransistorFM's campaigns feature to dynamically insert new calls-to-action at the beginning of their @ChangeAcPod episodes.

@nbashaw Had to find this poll while listening to your after show!

@ambudge @TransistorFM Thank you! 🙌

@ThinkingTimothy @HelenRyles @jsonperl Definitely under ~10.

The ideal team size feels like 4-6.

@merott @jonbuda @HelenRyles @jsonperl Thanks so much! 🙌

@GeoffTRoberts @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thanks Geoff!

@dohertyjf Thanks! 🙌

@indie_worldwide Thanks for sharing it!

@thisiskp_ @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thank you! 🙌

@philipbrown @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thank you!

@takeitev @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thanks! That means so much to us. 🥰

@CharlieGrinnell 🙌

@connor_lindsey @jonbuda @TransistorFM @buildyoursaas Interesting! This question has come up a few times now.

@iChris @jonbuda @TransistorFM @buildyoursaas Never!

@danshipper 🎯

Social media can be unhealthy (in general, and for productivity) but so can toxic relationships, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, etc…

@coreyhainesco There are! That's a good idea (several people have requested it).

@deanyeong @TransistorFM 🙌

@hopburps @TransistorFM Lol. YES! 🎙️🤝🍺

@kylefox 🤣🤣🤣

@sridatta @iamwil I've just added your show to my list here. 🙌

https://transistor.fm/dev-podcasts/

@KostjaPalovic What about long walks? Do those work for you too?

@valsopi Sometimes it’s gotta be silent, and I’ll go into a flow state.

Other times, it’s nice to have something external (music, podcast) that stimulates thought.

@CasJam That’s a good distinction 👍

@valsopi Music/podcasts or silence; which is better for you?

@philipbrown 🥰

@mattwensing @earthlingworks New categories emerge from a combination of factors:

pre-existing demand for earlier versions (flip phones, PDAs), cultural trends, etc.

My point is that a new category is rarely defined by a single company/founder. They evolve (over time) from a variety of influences.

@AndrewWHacks @earthlingworks Almost every category already exists, but not all of them have strong customer demand/momentum.
