Last week I got to attend a lecture from someone I admire a great deal: Mac King, the longest-running 1-person show in Vegas history (20 years and counting) and the greatest comedy magician to have ever done it. I learned the secret to keeping your show fresh

I try to do as much as I can up front now, since I am doing so many webinars - I wanted the live to sound as much like the edited as possible. But I do a few odds and ends in Izotope RX for clicks/de-essing.

Pre-tariff podcast equipment upgrade. If you do your podcast with Airpods as your mic, you don't want me on your show.

Really thrilled to be back on the keynote stage at Evolutions this year - I've got some powerful new data in my back pocket, and really hoping to bring the thunder (only happens when it's raining). And Sounds Profitable partners - I will see you in our partner lounge!

I've been in polling for decades and I am not sure I've seen a crazier graph.
You don't know ANYTHING about Zelensky other than what your news source tells you. I used to be able to tell you through policy what defined D vs. R. Doesn't work anymore.
Here's a hint: I don't think Zelensky changed.

Paradise has been amazing all season, but this week's episode is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen, no joke. It takes a thing that is hinted at, talked about, and referenced all season and finally SHOWS it in all its harrowing detail. This show, and its fine cast, are doing the WORK.

Before his license to kill - he had a license to HURT. Jacob Elordi stars in a limited 8-episode series: LIL' BOND. Watch LIL' BOND solve capers at Scotland's most exclusive boarding school and even FIND LOVE. He may not have a license to kill, but this summer, LIL' BOND is KILLING IT

Finally getting around to moving a bunch of music files off of a 12 year-old hard drive to a new SSD, and so far it has taken more than a day. Man, how did we even live in 2013. Oh, I forgot

The only thing that is inaccurate about this is the "money saved" stat because I can assure you I was not a cheap date.
