I love that illustration & also really enjoyed listening to this on a walk. Great message to do things for ourselves, screw what other ppl are doing.

Is the voice over stuff hard to do?

Thanks, Louie!

The voice over stuff is simple, IMO. But that's probably just because I do almost nothing to polish it. I just talk to a microphone and use Audacity to cut out background noises and coughs. Stuff like that. Then, I just upload the exported audio file to Substack which is like 2 mouse clicks.

Someone recommended that I try Adobe Podcast, which is an AI tool that can supposedly "enhance speech" for any audio file you upload to their service. My personal experience has been that the AI tends to muffle my voice, which makes my speech harder to hear. So, I stopped doing that, which simplified my "process" even more.

"Keep it simple" at its best. lol

So, yeah, I'm not doing much more than what you do when you talk to a camera, except that I don't have a camera. :)

Great illustration! Also a real life example for those that ride public transit in NYC 😂

Thanks, Su Hawn!

Have you ever taken public transit while traveling in a foreign country? There's an adventure!
