| <p>I listen to a fair number of podcasts. The <a href="https://atp.fm/">Accidental Tech | ||
| Podcast</a> is my favorite by a mile.</p> | ||
| <p>It's the one that I look forward to every week. It comes out on | ||
| Thursdays, often right when I'm leaving work. It's a sign that | ||
| the weekend is right around the corner.</p> | ||
| <p>I'll get some of the reasons why out of the way quickly, the reasons | ||
| particular to me and my tastes.</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>The topic, the world of technology and all things around it, | ||
| is right in my wheelhouse. It's my profession, but also my hobby. | ||
| That's what got me in the door. If this stuff isn't your thing, | ||
| then this podcast won't be either.</li> | ||
| <li>They talk a lot about Apple products and that ecosystem, which | ||
| where I spend my personal time.</li> | ||
| <li>But they also cover a lot of issues that touch on the world of | ||
| technology: business, law &amp; politics, companies, social media. | ||
| I like their descriptions, their take, their rants.</li> | ||
| <li>They end up talking a lot about personal tech too. Like how to | ||
| manage family photos and backups. The hard, fussy stuff that ends | ||
| up taking up so much of our lives. For example, what's the best | ||
| way to help parents deal with passwords. Hard stuff!</li> | ||
| <li>I especially like tech-adjacent topics like home audio/video, | ||
| home automation, and gaming.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <p>But what I appreciate more than the content of ATP are the | ||
| hosts and the care and they take to produce a good show.</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>They are <strong>friends</strong>. It's nice hanging out with people | ||
| who like each other. It's kind of like we have permission | ||
| to eavesdrop and be a part of that.</li> | ||
| <li>They're not afraid to discuss <strong>their lives</strong>. | ||
| Stuff like families and work/life stress. | ||
| This is good stuff for me because I'm in that the same life | ||
| situation as them, middle-aged tech dads. | ||
| But bringing their whole selves | ||
| to the show is a bit of vulnerability that I appreciate.</li> | ||
| <li>ATP is <strong>exceptionally well produced</strong>. I didn't | ||
| appreciate this until I'd heard so many other podcasts that | ||
| are produced terribly, with bad recordings or poorly mixed. | ||
| Usually you have to turn to the corporate, fancy | ||
| podcasts, but they also have lots of ads and are | ||
| usually different kinds of shows.</li> | ||
| <li>And the show is so <strong>well edited</strong>. They edit it without | ||
| losing any of the content or the pacing, and sparing us all the | ||
| awkward "um where were we" and technical futzing.</li> | ||
| <li>They <strong>don't talk over each other</strong>. Part of this is discipline, | ||
| part of this is just politeness. But also now that I've listened | ||
| to the pre-edit "bootleg" a couple of times, I've come to appreciate | ||
| how much of this is also fixed in the edit. Nice job Marco.</li> | ||
| <li>They are <strong>respectful</strong>. They don't put people down, they aren't | ||
| mean. When they kid each other it's in good fun.</li> | ||
| <li>When (rarely) they wade into social justice or | ||
| world events, they do so respectfully and thoughtfully. | ||
| They understand that as three three cis-gendered white guys, | ||
| it's good to have views to share, but also right to listen | ||
| and help others.</li> | ||
| <li>Their show is <strong>reliable</strong>. It's great that they keep to a | ||
| regular format schedule. It fits into the rest of your life | ||
| and becomes something you count on.</li> | ||
| <li>Finally, some small things: Yay for proper use of | ||
| <strong>chapter markers</strong>, hardly anybody else does. And I like their | ||
| their occasional forays into <strong>car talk</strong>, just because I like car | ||
| stuff too.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <p>Although they joke about how much of the show is devoted to feedback, | ||
| it's one of my favorite parts. It shows that they listen and are | ||
| learning. And they share that learning with all of us. A recent | ||
| example was six minutes or so into <a href="https://atp.fm/570">Episode 570</a> when I learned | ||
| how home power battery systems, when full, signal this by changing | ||
| <em>the frequency of AC power</em> as a signal to solar panels to back off. | ||
| Fascinating!</p> | ||
| <p>I like the members-only specials. It's OK with me that these are only | ||
| available to members. | ||
| I like how candid they've been talking about ad revenue drying up | ||
| recently and they could use the extra revenue channel. these | ||
| episodes are a nice way to reward members. They've managed to | ||
| do these without compromising the core show.</p> | ||
| <p>The best thing they ever did on ATP was getting a sponsor to send John | ||
| toasters to review. And <a href="https://www.caseyliss.com/2015/9/10/siracusa-on-toasters">review he did</a>! I didn't appreciate how | ||
| many bad toasters there are, and how they can be bad for so many | ||
| reasons. My favorite reason was poor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/knobfeel">knob feel</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>Nice work <a href="https://hypercritical.co/">John</a>, <a href="https://marco.org/">Marco</a>, and <a href="https://caseyliss.com/">Casey</a>. | ||
| Please keep it up for a long, long time.</p></description><guid>https://sef.kloninger.com/posts/atp/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Feb 2024 01:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss> |
