What's a good podcast or YouTube channel to follow about OpenClaw that is NOT all like, "Steal my secrets to make massive money online with no money down!"?
Also, absolutely no AI-slop content!
#Podcasts beat AM/FM talk radio in listening time!
Here's what this means, and why you should embrace a niche in #podcasting.

Here's a preview of a simple #WordPress plugin I'm making. It will 1-click copy your page/post headings to plain text, markdown, or HTML.
Perfect for you and other #podcasters to paste into PodChapters to instantly turn your post outline into #podcast chapters!

I'm using OpenClaw to filter my LinkedIn connection requests and having it report every "professional podcast promoter" as a scammer and blocking them.
Yes, I realize this is bordering on breaking the space-time continuum, but I made sure to not give OpenClaw that access.
I've decided to go back to simple email marketing templates that look like mostly plain text.
When I thought critically about the emails I receive, I realized I tend to value the ones more that look like normal emails, even though I _know_ they're newsletters (complete with required footer info).
I'm giving OpenClaw another try. I was up until 4am setting it up!
Despite its horrible docs, I finally got 3 agents in Slack making separate threads per topic/session.
I have yet to make million of dollars like everyone else talking about OpenClaw. 🤣
Share your million-dollar techniques!
"… the absence of pictures in a narrative audio podcast is not a negative, it's not a handicap. … It means that we are other than, we are different from. And in fact, using sound only … is very liberating in many ways, both … imaginative possibilities and … what you don't have to worry about."
You'd think a tool built to us AI to save time would be a lot easier and—here's a radical idea—maybe use some of that same AI to help the setup process!
Send help!
I'm giving OpenClaw a try, but the setup process is horrendous. Instructions contradict themselves, terminologies are mixed, and it presents JSON code for copying and pasting—but the CLI frames the code in ASCII characters that must be painstakingly removed to be valid JSON!
Theo is a great example of this on his YouTube channel for developers (youtube.com/@t3dotgg). His sponsors are almost always dev-related and he explains the benefits extremely well. Thus, I'm a happy customer of Posthog, Greptile, Clerk, and Convex because of Theo's relevant promotions of them!
#Podcasters, when you get a sponsor that perfectly fits your content and your audience, your audience will probably faithfully watch or listen to your ads—sometimes just because they want to catch tips on using the product better!
Is YouTube about to break the one page I actually used (despite its many flaws)?
Today on the YouTube "Subscriptions" page, they have an algorithmically populated "Most relevant" section above the chronological list of videos.
Yuck.
When should you AVOID #podcast episode numbers?

This is why #podcasting is supreme for _keeping_ an audience and controlling your own platform!

Anyone saying that Apple Podcasts is adding support for video #podcasts doesn't know what they're talking about.
Apple has supported video #podcasts since iTunes 4.9 first supported "#podcasting" in 2005.
When should you use episode numbers with your #podcast?
My #podcasting advice has changed since 12 years ago!

I'm back from #Podfest26 in Orlando. This is now my favorite #podcasting conference, and I'd like to share some thoughts!

I feel like a mom today in the #Cincinnati area:
"I just cleared the driveway! Can you keep the snow off it for just 10 minutes‽"

Check out these 6 unexpected #podcasting workflow upgrades!
None of these upgrades are explicitly podcasting tools or yet more AI, but they do benefit several parts of your #podcast workflow.

I made a major life-changing decision:
I moved my wallet from my right pocket to my left pocket.
Post office boxes require an investment, but they could be worth it for your #podcast and unlock a new, exciting way to engage your audience!

What disappoints me more than receiving connection/friend/message requests coming from "Podcast Promoters" is seeing how many mutual connections we have on those platforms.
