My Podcast Experiment

16 Oct 2026

I just completed my second week of my podcasting experiment on micro.blog. I’m not sure why this seemed like a good idea, but it’s been an interesting experiment. I started my first recording with “I don’t know why you’re listening to this…” and it’s been a suitable title so far.

Basically I take a few minutes in the morning Monday - Friday, pick a topic, and record basically off-the-cuff for no more than 5 minutes. I do one very quick editing pass to cut out the most egregious “um”s and false-starts, then I upload and publish.

Does the world really need 4 minutes of me talking every morning? Doubtful. And yet it probably hasn’t needed my thoughts in text on the internet since 1999 and that hasn’t stopped me. I’ll see how long it continues to feel like a good idea, but it’s a low-weight effort in the mornings and has been fun to try.

I don’t have any stats on listens, and frankly that’s just fine. I know I have at least a couple people listening because they’ve emailed me or mentioned it in person. (If you want emails when I post something you can sign up for them on chrishubbs.com.) If you want to add my podcast to your podcast player, the feed isn’t linked anywhere obviously yet but it is https://chrishubbs.com/podcast.xml.
