Hey, it's Marc of just ask marc.com.

So I wanted to get some quick feedback.

I want to make sure that what I'm doing here is actually going to be useful.

Got a ton of podcasts.

And I want to get them back online.

Over the years feeds have changed.

Podcasting platforms have changed.

It used to be really hard back in.

2007 when I started now, it's just too damn easy.

So I want to get a lot of the old stuff that I have out archived

episodes that still make sense.

And I want to do some new stuff as it becomes more relevant, but I'll

be honest in the fitness industry.

Uh, it's not a lot of new ways to do a bench press.

It doesn't matter.

It's still good information.

Uh, it sucks that it's just sitting on a hard drive and not going anywhere,

especially if it's potentially could help someone who hasn't heard it before.

And I know that there's potentially a lot of listeners who've.

Listen over the years that may have somehow pick this feet

up, back in apple podcasts.

I have no freaking idea.

But it is an interesting concept and it's a pretty wild and pretty

cool to be able to do this.

Especially now that media creation is so easy.

It's just gone.

Haywire.

I mean, anyway.

So, what I'm doing is I'm just looking for some quick feedback here.

Is this podcast going to be useful to you?

Do you, would you prefer a real voice?

Do you prefer AI train voices?

Is this voice something that you could listen too, for a short podcast?

Or are we getting carried away now?

What about having some Ai guests like, Nancy?

Okay this is way too cool now.

Of course I could use 11 labs, which is nice, but it's

expensive and maybe only Arnold can afford to do that long-term.

And frankly, this voice sounds deeper and potentially how I

should sound, but don't, geez.

Do you want a combination?

Is it just fun and cool.

I'm interested in that also.

The length, you know, five minutes, 20 minutes, I guess it matters.

Like if you have something to say.

Then you take as much time as you need to say it.

But when I first started this podcast, it was basically calling into a phone line

that did a recording and published it out.

And only let you do five minutes.

And that took off really well because it forces you to get to the point.

Whereas some of these podcasts I listened to, or like an hour, and I'm just,

don't need an hour of you talking about.

How to eat less calories.

So that's it just quick feedback.

Want to know if anybody out there has anything that they want to say

or directions that they want to go.

You can always send a message to mark M a R C.

At just ask mark.com.

I do actually read them, so have spam in there, but I do read the legit ones and

you can always put podcast in the subject.

If you want to get my attention, otherwise I'm going to just.

Uh, you know, keep calm and carry on.
