I’m probably setting up myself for a lot of work but I’m getting ready to start a podcast where I read and publish audio versions of many of my blog posts.
Several reasons:
- Accessibility. Many people need or prefer audio over text.
- Distribution. People in general do not knowingly subscribe to RSS feeds anymore. But they do when it’s a podcast. Maybe it can help as a reminder to read the blog as well.
- Love the podcast format and I guess it’s nice to have a channel ready for any scenario where I want to get some random thoughts out there in response to current events, and not necessarily related to design.
- Interesting stuff happens when I read my posts. I emphasise things when I read, making them more noticeable as audio. I also catch written mistakes. If I can manage to record audio before publishing the post, all posts will gain from it.
Also, it’s also actually two podcasts. Haha. One for the English blog and one for the Swedish blog.
And this is of course on top of @uxpodcast 😅
