Transcripts

Marc:

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

Marc:

So I wanted to get some quick feedback.

Marc:

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

Marc:

Got a ton of podcasts.

Marc:

And I want to get them back online.

Marc:

Over the years feeds have changed.

Marc:

Podcasting platforms have changed.

Marc:

It used to be really hard back in.

Marc:

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

Marc:

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

Marc:

episodes that still make sense.

Marc:

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

Marc:

be honest in the fitness industry.

Marc:

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

Marc:

It doesn't matter.

Marc:

It's still good information.

Marc:

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

Marc:

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

Marc:

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

Marc:

Listen over the years that may have somehow pick this feet

Marc:

up, back in apple podcasts.

Marc:

I have no freaking idea.

Marc:

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

Marc:

cool to be able to do this.

Marc:

Especially now that media creation is so easy.

Marc:

It's just gone.

Marc:

Haywire.

Marc:

I mean, anyway.

Marc:

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

Marc:

Is this podcast going to be useful to you?

Marc:

Do you, would you prefer a real voice?

Marc:

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?

Nancy:

What about having some Ai guests like, Nancy?

Nancy:

Okay this is way too cool now.

Elevenlabs:

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

Elevenlabs:

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

Elevenlabs:

And frankly, this voice sounds deeper and potentially how I

Elevenlabs:

should sound, but don't, geez.

Nancy:

Do you want a combination?

Nancy:

Is it just fun and cool.

Nancy:

I'm interested in that also.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

Like if you have something to say.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

that did a recording and published it out.

Nancy:

And only let you do five minutes.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

don't need an hour of you talking about.

Nancy:

How to eat less calories.

Nancy:

So that's it just quick feedback.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

or directions that they want to go.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

At just ask mark.com.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

you can always put podcast in the subject.

Nancy:

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

Nancy:

Uh, you know, keep calm and carry on.
