Okay, we're rolling. Welcome back to the how to Podcast series. It's Dave with you. I hope you're doing well. I say that all the time, but I really do mean it. I hope you're doing well. I had a podcasting friend, Sir Joshua Hess, podcaster, extraordinary new show. Oh, that's a Fact. Is the name of his show. He sent me an email with another tool. This guy scours the Internet and all the corners of the web for anything to do with podcasting. He is like a, a mad collector of podcasting knowledge, tools, advice, contacts, shows about podcasting. And the beautiful thing is he pops by our meetups, which makes us all happy. So excited to check out a new app that he's been playing with and he's like, Dave, check it out. So I'm gonna talk about here on the show, explain it to you and give you a little bit of what it said about one of my shows, episode 599, and give you my feedback on what I think of this little app. So, Joshua, thank you. So in honor of Josh and his new podcast. Oh, that's a fact. Here's a little clip from the show. Because you know, why not? Let's put it in here. And I'd love for everyone who follows this show, everybody who has ever pressed, played on this podcast, anytime in now, in the future, in the past, to go over and check out Josh's show.

So there you go. Little taste of Joshua show. I added the clapping because I want to cheer him on. Good job, Joshua. Yeah. Oh, that's a fact in the show notes. Definitely go check it out. And love for you to go support another new podcaster. Yeah. Okay. So this is a tool that Joshua sent to me and what I'll do is I'm actually going to read off the output from the tool as it evaluated my podcast, my episode of the how to Podcast series, so you can kind of get a sense of what it looks like. It's also in the show notes so you can read along and have all that fun. So I'm going to include all this and I just, I love what this site is all about. So it's Wave Pod. It goes on the top of the screen on the left. The address for this website. All links in the show notes is pod.wave co and how it brands itself here on the website. It says it is 100 free by Wave AI podcast summaries in your inbox. Subscribe to your favorite podcasts and get AI summaries in your inbox within minutes of release. Faster than listening at 2x speed. Interesting. It says join thousands getting instant summaries at this point in recording 259,436 episodes processed. It's free forever. No credit card. Unsubscribe anytime. There's three steps. Pick your shows, browse, trending podcast, or search for your favorites, which is nice. We track thousands second subscribe for free. One click to follow any show. We'll track new episodes automatically. And number three, get instant summaries. Receive AI summaries by email within minutes of an episode release. And they have a whole bunch of podcasts you can look at as examples. And what's interesting is they show how many people are subscribing in the top right corner for each of the album artwork. How many people are subscribing to that specific show. This is, this is interesting. There's a lot of big shows here and some small subscriber counts. So this is relatively new. And yeah, you can go in and get your own. So this is quite interesting. So I'm going to sign up now and kind of take you through the dashboard as a new user. So once you create an account, it takes you to a screen for you to pick whatever platform you want to use. If you're a Windows person, an Apple person, whether you want to use your phone, you Want to use a desktop gives you a whole variety of different things you can pick from. So I'm just. I do most of my editing and most of my time on the computer. I'm very rarely on my phone doing any of that. So I'm. I went with the desktop for Windows. That's what I use. While I'm waiting for this to download, the one thing I'm a little bit questioning is as when the AI tool pulls the information from my podcast episode, if it counts as a stat, an analytic, a download, a listen, however you want to word it, because it seems like it's a bypassing us listening to podcasts. So the idea of creating my show is that it connects with humans. The fact that a bot is going in and pulling out all my information and giving a summary so that you don't have to listen to the episode kind of defeats the purpose of a podcast. So I'm a little bit. I'll be cautious about that. I'm gonna do some more research on that as we go here. But that would be one of my only things at the beginning is I make podcasts for people, not AI. So it's a bonus if an AI thing will pick it up like this Will do. But my podcasts are made for people, so that's my main focus. So that's one thing I'm just thinking about in the moment. So I've downloaded it, installed it on my desktop, so I have it right on there. So I can use this anytime. It says I can use it for other things besides podcasts as well, and it'll give me some reasonable things I do. So I do zoom meetings, I do pre calls, I do coaching calls. I do a ton of different things where I'd love to have like a summary or some key points that I can pull out from conversations I have with other people. It says on the website, too, that it's kind of like an. One of those bot AI note takers, except it's less intrusive when I have people on my. On my zoom calls and their AI tool wants access and come in and then they want to come in. The moment I accept their tool, it starts recording. And they come in the room going over recording. I'm like, yeah, your tool turned on the recording, not me. So, yeah, anyways, I don't. I'm not a big fan of some of those otter tools and stuff. They really seem to be intrusive and kind of annoying. So I usually when somebody comes in the room and they have. I see the AI tool wants to be let in. And I see the guest. I don't let the AI tool in. I just. I've stopped letting them in. I only let the people in. So. Because again, why be annoying? So anyways, so I have opened it up. It looks like a little notepad thing where you hit record gives you a chance to pick where you're picking from. So I can see my voice being picked up by Wave AI in a little window and I'm recording this at the same time. So let's talk a little bit more. I want to go through and I'll tell you what this says when we're done. I want to go through what Joshua sent me because this is really interesting, the feedback. It was episode 599 for the podcast that was captured and Joshua ran it through here. And again, thank you, Joshua. I love when you find these tools and send them off. I appreciate it. So it gives me the title of the show, My name is the Host, the date the episode went out, the main theme and purpose. And again, you can go listen to 599. I'd love for you to go back. It's a great episode about your bubble and all that fun stuff. The main theme and purpose of the episode, it says. In this episode, Dave Campbell explores the complex relationship between freedom of speech, personal beliefs, and the concept of living in a bubble within the world of podcasting. He argues that while podcasting serves as a valuable last frontier for open and respectful discourse, it also brings significant responsibility for words and their consequences. Campbell. I've not been called Campbell often, but Campbell challenges podcasters to break out of their ideological bubbles, encourage diverse conversations, and approach content creation with mindfulness and care. Well, there you go. That was my intent. I'm glad that it picked up on that. It breaks down next to key discussion points and insights, and it lists these out. And what I love is it gives timestamps, too. So if you look in the notes for this episode, you'll see what I'm talking about. The first one was the unique power of podcasting to foster dialogue. Podcasting bridges divides. And then it pulls a quote from what I said in the audio podcast. A podcast is an open door into someone else's world. And that's that time stop. One time stamp, one minute, one second. And. And then Dave emphasizes that podcasts allow hosts and listeners to engage with perspectives they would likely never encounter otherwise. Yep. And then the next one was safe space for respectful disagreement. And in quotes. We can agree to disagree, but there's always A healthy back and forth. There's no name calling, there's no hatred, there's no belittling of others in podcasting. And that's at the 2 minute and 13 second mark. Awesome. One thing I do with my clients is I'm always looking for quotes like pulling quotable quotes out, making up graphics or whatever to post to social. This is really going to help. And then the second section, insight that it brings out is the dangers of bubbles and eco chambers, echo chambers as well. Self selection into ideological bubbles. People pick their bubble and then they live inside their bubble. Only the people who think like them are allowed inside. And that's a 4 minute and 16 seconds. Content reflects the host worldview. The group starts to sound like the host. Like that's influence. That's at five minute and one second. So we can see the timestamps are going along here. I won't read every one of these. See them in the. In this, in the notes. It also goes to the third section where the. The responsibility that comes with influence. It gives. Again, more quotes and more timestamps. Number four is the mindfulness and accountability and content creation. These aren't from my show notes, by the way. I don't have these written out in this format. So it's not just grabbing my show notes, it's actually ingesting and pulling from the audio content. That's interesting. So there's more points there, more timestamps, which I appreciate. And then five, the challenge to podcasters. Again, main points, timestamps. Great. And six, finding your own voice as a podcaster. Main points, timestamps. And then it gives me another section here called notable quotes and memorable moments on bubbles and growth. And here's the quote. If you have a show, let's say it's a political show and you only bring people on your political show who live in your bubble. Who is the show for? Question mark. That's at 13 minutes and 16 seconds. Interesting. Now, these aren't in numerical order because the Next one's from 9 minutes and 28 seconds into the content. Here it pulls about my social media and responsibility part. There's a section about podcasting and influence. Call to action on finding your voice, community advice on being a work in progress. And then the other thing I like at the end here, it talks about the. The key timestamps for key segments. So all the way from 37 seconds in all the way to 23 minutes and 46 seconds, it breaks down the entire section. Those are really good. That's what I would put into my YouTube for sure exactly the way that is, because that's going to be really good for YouTube. It talks about the tone and language of my show to that's interesting. It says Dave maintains an open, humble and conversational tone throughout. He stresses and that his reflections are not meant to divide or preach, but to encourage thoughtful, kind and constructive engagement within and beyond one's own worldview. Summary takeaways are also listed there as well. So there's a lot of great information here, a great snapshot of the episode. I hope, and I hope Joshua feels the same. I hope this isn't a replacement to actually going and listening to the show and interacting as a community member, because that defeats the purpose of a podcast. But if this is a tool that can pull this out of audio, not my show notes out of the audio. Wow, that's. This is what we've been looking for. Because I didn't have to provide a transcript and the service had to give it back to me. It did all this on its own. So I'm quite interested in this because there's a lot of things that I can use with the output of this, beyond it simply being an email in my inbox. Something to think about. So I stopped the recording on the tool that was listening while I was just doing that whole big section for you to see what it gives me. And yeah, so that was running off to the side and it's giving me my own version of everything that I just did there. So this should be interesting. So I'm going to open it up and let's see here what it gives me. So as expected, it did exactly what it did for the email that Joshua sent to me. It did for that little recording I just did with you. It summarized everything, broke it up in similar categories, did exactly what I talked about, even pulled out the YouTube comment that I made in addition to what I was reading to you. So very accurate. Same format, overview, main topics discussed, breaking them all out in sections, additional reflections and actionable insights, key dates and figures, a conclusion. And it did all of that just listening to me talk to you. So if you want to get ahead of this, what my suggestion would be to use this free tool. I'm not paying for this. To use this free tool. Turn this on if you're recording from your desktop and have it running while you're doing your thing, because it's listening to you record your podcast. Right now I'm recording into Audacity. So I'm focused on Audacity. But in minimized in the background was that Note tool basically listening to me. And that would be the key foundation of my show Notes be the key foundation of my timestamps for YouTube. It could give me lots of great information and pull out all the quotable points that I would be having to go back and listen to later. I can just pull it right from the recording, during the recording, immediately. And again, this is free, so how long is free? I don't know. But my gosh, what a great tool for a podcaster trying to do multiple things at the same time to save you money and to save you time. Well, this is, this is really good, Joshua. I'm glad you sent this to me. So going back to the main page for this at Wave Co is the main page for this. I'll have links for everything for you in the notes. But Wave Co, you can download this for your iPhone, you can download this for Android, have a bunch of different people that are trusting this product and using this. Yeah, it's, it's interesting. Record, transcribe and share. It's basically what it does. It's, it's pretty straightforward. Catch every conversation, capture your online meetings, live discussions and phone calls. We'll securely store them so that you can come back and take a look whenever you need them. Find everything. Wave accurately summarizes and privately stores your conversations. Access to any word or sentence with the chat feature. So you can actually talk to the AI tool about your content. And Wave goes beyond note taking. It includes smart tools like meeting integrations, background recording and file imports built to make life easier, not just work. You can chat with Wave. Yeah, it's got some high ratings for people who've downloaded lots of reviews. And they have some simple pricing as well. They have pricing plans, they have a weekly plan, they have a monthly plan and they have an annual plan. But there is a free trial for all of us to try out and it takes you through all of the frequent questions and yeah, Wave catch every word is how they brand it and it looks really interesting. So Joshua, again, thank you so much for sending this over. I love all these new tools. I love listening and learning about these tools and then when I find them, come share them with you. So there you go. Wave Co is the main site for everything for Wave and then going in we can look at the podcasting one specifically at Wave Pod. And this is your AI. So that one is pod. Wave Co is the one specific for podcasts. And I would definitely go encourage you go check it out, use your phone, use your computer, whatever you got and go try Triopod Wav Co. Thanks to Joshua, by the way, for all this, because I had no idea about this at all. So Joshua is my reporter on the street. Thanks, Joshua. So what tools are you using to transcribe your show? Turn them into show notes, get timestamps interested to hear what you're using. If you're not using Wave Co, what, what's, what tool are you using? Let me know@howtopodcast ca because you know Joshua's gonna find another one probably this week. So I'll be back with more from Joshua. I'm trying to get him on the show Joshua so we can talk more about his journey as a podcast as well and reach out, follow his show. I know he'd love for you to follow and give him a rating and review and feedback. He's eager to grow as a podcaster, so anything we can do to help him, I think that's what we owe to each other, right? We're here's family. We're not pod pals. We're family because we care for each other. We're not random, we're not transactional. We're family. We stick with each other. Like episode 599 where I talk about getting out of your bubble. Even if sometimes we don't totally agree or see eye to eye, we're still got this thing in common called humanity. And two podcasting. So let's support each other. Let's help each other grow our shows. And again, if you find a cool tool, let me know. Send me a message@howtopodcast.ca you email me, leave me a speak pipe. Come on the show. I'd love to have you on the show. So if Wavepod is listening. Hello. Come on the show. Let's talk more about what you're doing and how you're doing it and your goals for the future. Again, WavePod Wave Co in the show notes and I'd love for you to go check it out. Give me your feedback, let me know. Thanks for being here. Hey, it's Dave. Thank you for sticking around to the end. This is where we do our call to action or pathway to engagement as I like to call it. And here's what's interesting. I've been doing this podcast for years now, hosting meetups, helping podcasters, editing for people, doing a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. And I, when we have people who follow the show, reach out to me and say, Dave, guess what? I'm like what they said. I just hired my first consultant I'm going to go work with them and help me with my podcast. And I kind of go, wait a minute. You what? They're like, yeah, yeah, I found a podcast consultant and they're going to help me with my show. It's hard to pretend to be happy. Why? Because I want to work with you. I like, wait a minute. Like Dave, you know, the guy Dave who's been doing the how to Podcast series and eight other podcasts, and the guy that's been with you the whole time, and we've done meetups, we've done time together, we've spent time together. And you've hired somebody else. Now maybe I'm not your person. That's okay. I'm totally fine with that. By the way, keep coming back. I love having you here, but if you're like, well, I didn't hire you because you don't have anything like that, do you? And I do, and I have been for a long time, and I don't talk about it enough, apparently, because people are going to other people looking for things that Dave does. So in the spirit of Dave and in the spirit of making better connections with you, I do have personal coaching in podcasting. I have podcast community. I have all of the resources. I have all of the background, the history in podcasting and the love for you as a fellow podcaster. If you're looking for a podcast coach, somebody who can walk with you, somebody who cares about you, someone who is your challenger, your cheerleader, and your coach. Because even though I've said on the show you can't be all three, I think I am. And I want to help you. So. HowtoPodcast ca, please, before you go searching anywhere else, come to where we started and where we met first. Right here. I'd love to help you. HowToPodcast CA. Come reach out to me. I want to talk to you. Thanks. Okay, so you're still here. I love it. That's great. This is extra bonus stuff for people who stick around, people just like you. So everybody else is gone. They have no idea what we're talking about, so we can talk about anything we want. My question from a podcaster recently was around the idea of how to deal with ghosting like ghosts. This is a haunted podcast. What are we doing, Dave? Dealing with people who ghost you. I have several file folders full of people who have ghosted this show and other shows. They've come through the process, they've reached out to me, there's contact information, and then they just disappear. Now it can be frustrating to invest time in somebody who just walks away and leaves you sitting there by yourself. That's a bad date, right? That's not a good experience. Those are the ones you, you stand, you tend to remember most. You tend to forget the great and you always remember the worst. So I've had some pretty bad experiences over the last six, seven years with people who just, they're just not good at follow up. They're not good at showing up. And I sit here and I wait for them to come to a recording or a pre chat. Remember I work nights so I'm saying no to sleep, to sit on my computer and be ready for you. And when you don't show up because it's inconvenient or you forgot, my mind is flashing back with tons of people, most people from their car for some reason, I don't know. That's an indicator, I think a common trait for people who don't show up. People tend to show up in their car anyways. When people ghost you. I try to always be thoughtful of the person because I don't know what's happening in their world. Anything could have happened, right. I don't want to be, think negative and think of the worst case scenario but at the same time I don't want to just be upset with them and, and just spout off at them and be angry with them because I at the same time have done it to other people again. Because I work nights, I set my alarm clock for like 11am because I just got home at 7am and I sleep through it. I wake up at 2 in the afternoon and go, my heart sinks. I go to my email. It's like where the, where are you? Some other words. I'm like, you, you're supposed to be here. I'm like, I know, but I slept through and it's because I worked all night and I, I tried, I really did. And, and I, I kick myself. And I always kind of put myself into the place of my potential guest. They might be kicking themself because they messed up and they feel guilty. They, they, they just leave, they just hide because they feel like they disappointed me because they didn't show up or whatever. And I just kind of always lean towards the best possible solution. I do reach out. I send emails. I, I contact them. Hey, looks like we missed each other. Apologies for that if it was on my end, but can we. Here's my calendar link. Let's meet again when you have time. Still would love to have you on the show. Appreciate what you do and that you have time for me and your busy day. Let me know if we can get together in the future. Happy to do this. Take care. Hope to talk soon. Something like that. Always lean to the positive. If you become focused on the negative, it's going to eat you up over time and you're going to be a little bit more cautious around people and you're going to miss opportunities because you're a little bit too jaded. So don't be jaded. Be kind. In everything we do, be kind. That's what Bill Monty would say from his podcast over there, Tales from South Florida and all those great podcasts he does is so good. Bill Monty's guy for getting older and all kinds of good stuff. He's a good guy. Go check him out. But he always talks about at the end of his show be kind. And I think as podcasters we can just be kind. Be Bill Monty, everybody. Be kind. There you go. Take care.
