đ§ Listened to: H.I. #59: Consumed by Donkey Kong â Hello Internet
Brady and Grey discusses follow up from their previous discussion on Guns, Germs and Steel and while the discussion itself is interesting, I think the main point can be found around the 39:50 mark.
If you here about a persons opinion and arguments and want to argue against them, make sure to go back to the source and check that the person actually thinks and argues what youâve been told he/she is arguing. Donât argue against someone elseâs straw man of a person.

24 september, 2018 09:43Before I started to logg my podcast listening on my blog my âsystemâ for keeping track of important episodes and their content was to screen shot Overcast whenever I listened to something particularly interesting. I will use some of those screenshots to back-fill some data.

24 september, 2018 09:47@johnjohnston Thanks! Let me know if the posts gets so frequent that they feel like noise. I don’t want to fill my micro.blog timeline with unnecessary stuff.

24 september, 2018 09:53Itâs interesting to see someone else tracking what theyâre listening to. I try to include the .mp3 or other audio files in my post with proper markup to create a faux-cast of sorts that others can subscribe to. Somewhat like reading.am, I find that discovery of podcasts by seeing what others are actually listening to is far more valuable than what they simply say theyâre listening to.
Iâm hoping that podcast apps like Overcast by @marco might support technology like webmention and micropub in the future to make some of this stuff a bit easier as well as more valuable.

24 september, 2018 10:31@c Thanks for your reply Chris! The way you are doing the tracking has been one of the main inspirations for me. I will probably also follow your example and create a ”faux-cast”, but I just want to make sure everything else around the tracking works first.
Also, I’m glad you’ve approach @marco about this. Have you gotten any response?

24 september, 2018 11:15@MrHenko @c If only more podcasts would make it easier to share via Huffduffer, that would become my de facto faux-cast.
MrHenko
24 september, 2018 11:23@jeremycherfas Yes, that would be a good solution.

24 september, 2018 12:06@MrHenko @c In fact an extension to the Overcast share sheet, or maybe even a workflow, would be a useful thing.

24 september, 2018 12:08@jeremycherfas Indeed, a workflow in the workflow app is what I’m using to manually do this after completing an episode.

24 september, 2018 21:27@MrHenko I’m not sure he’s seen it, but it’s there for he or others to take advantage of if they wish. We’ll see what comes of it. In the erstwhile, like @jeremycherfas, I’m relying heavily on Huffduffer.

25 september, 2018 14:28@c Seems like a good idea. I’m tweaking my Workflow workflow (or my Shortcuts shortcut?) and that also seems to be a fairly simple solution.
The upside of having something that requires user interaction is that, at least to me, it also encoruages adding some comments as well. I think it has made me pay more attention to what I listen to, at least for the 30 hours or so that I’ve had it working. :)
