Headliner PodPod : No Chaos?

>> Nicholas: Howdy, everyone. My name's Nicholas, and welcome to the headliner pod pod. We're a show about podcasts, featuring podcasts by podcasters that's hosted by people who help podcasters with their podcasting. On each episode, a few of us folks over at Headliner sit down to play a game that centers around listening to randomly selected clips from over 500 podcast submissions we've gotten from podcasters. Why? Well, in order to find what we call Pod Zero,

here are the rules. Each lucky contestant will hear a 62nd podcast clip. Theyll then need to pick the correct podcast title from a lineup of three choices before being shown the artwork for the show.

Before we get the show on the road, though, lets say hi to each of our contestants for today, starting with Max. >> Max: Sup, everybody? >> Nicholas: Great, great enthusiasm. Yeah. yo, it's about that time to bring forth the podcast and the rhyme. Next up, we have Jesse. Nobody getting the marky mark joke, right? Love it. Nope. >> Max: Did not get it.

>> Nicholas: Yeah, it's good vibrations, guys. Prateek knows, and we also, speaking of critique, we also have critique here. >> Max: Hey, everyone. >> Nicholas: As well as Elissa as our producer. >> Elissa: Hi. >> Nicholas: I feel like I just, like, gave pivotal information into my dysfunction when I mentioned Marky Mark, and nobody got that. It's fine. Mark Wahlberg won't listen to this. Anyway. Anyway, Elissa, word on the street is you have a podcast clip for us.

>> Elissa: I do also. Hi, Jesse. I don't know that we said Jesse. >> Nicholas: Did we say no, we said Jesse. >> Kristy: I think we did. >> Nicholas: Yeah, we did. >> Elissa: Oh, hello. >> Kristy: Anyway, just in case. >> Elissa: Well, then everybody got left out. >> Nicholas: I believe in good vibrations. So I introduce everybody, and that's that. Once again, murky Mark and the funky bunch. Whatever. >> Max: Just. It's fine.

>> Elissa: anyways, as a podcaster,

using data to inform your decisions is crucial to the success of your show. By analyzing your podcast data, you can better understand your audience and tailor your content to their preferences and behavior. If you're looking for an easy way to check your data, especially on social media and on the web, try visiting the headliner dashboard. It comes free with your account. Visit dashboard headliner app to get started.

>> Nicholas: There you have it. Check out our super cool dashboard, which does all sorts of dashboardy things. And with that out of the way, let's just dive right into the game, shall we? Starting with Max. >> Max: Let's go years

for me. >> Elissa: Yes. >> Speaker E: Which is a very different ethos from the thirties and especially the 1930s in the depression, when people were coming together to help themselves and support each other through this terrible time. And I also think often in difficult times, people have to make a decision about. Especially people coming up out of poverty, especially people struggling for a new life. You have to decide how much is about you

and how much you're part of a community. I mean, I think that's the conflict between Leo and Miriam, certainly. Yes. You see Miriam struggling with that. You give us. Miriam's character is altruistic. Does she does it for her family unselfishly. >> Nicholas: Okay, there was our clip. And, Max, here are your options. Number one, and I do apologize if I get this wrong, because it's been a gajillion years since I've taken a latin class, because I've never taken one,

disauratum. Number two, storytelling plus pod. And number three, it's all Latin to me. >> Max: So go with the Latin one, because. Why not? >> Nicholas: Well, there is a pronunciation component now, Max, so you'll need to say the word disarrato. >> Max: Is that what you say? >> Nicholas: Yeah, disarratum. >> Max: Disarratum. >> Nicholas: Yeah. Okay. >> Max: Definitely go with that. >> Nicholas: Yeah, yeah. It sounds just. It's got that. That spice

on it. so, yes, disaratum is correct. Good on you. And, this is from the episode across Seward park with Gail Lerman, NYC, I think. There you go. >> Max: Yeah. >> Nicholas: Representing. >> Max: Oh, now. Yeah. Gotta figure out what's happening to Seward park. Seriously? >> Nicholas: Yeah, yeah. You got it. >> Max: Now I listen to all the NYC podcasts Bowery boys. Shout out to Bowery boys. They were once a headliner user. I don't know if they still use us,

but one of my favorite podcasts. There you go. We'll be up there, too. >> Nicholas: And here's a little bit about the show to help you decide if they'll be one of your regular shows. Disarratum is a latin word meaning things that are desired as essential. The Disarratum podcast celebrates storytelling as an essential thing, the art of telling and the journey of listening.

Join me, audiobook narrator Theresa Bakken and my wordsmith friends, for new episodes every Friday, showcasing the talents of authors and narrators listen to conversations with writers and scenes from their audiobooks. >> Max: So, this is about a book or something, I guess. A book about Seward park, not a new podcast, but this book. >> Nicholas: Yeah, I think this episode is about something in Seward park, which means you'll need to listen to this episode to find out. You know what?

>> Max: I'm gonna. I'm m gonna. Yeah, I'll report back. >> Nicholas: Okay. Yeah. I was gonna say, can you do, like, a 500 word essay about it for me. Just get debriefing. >> Max: I will. I will do that. It might be AI generated, but I will. >> Nicholas: I was about to say I'm gonna check for AI, Max, so you can check. >> Max: It's probably going to tell you. >> Kristy: You'll find it. >> Max: Yeah, you will find it. Don't even check. I'll

save you the trouble. It is AI. >> Nicholas: Okay. Okay. Yeah. Thank you for that. Those three clicks, really, that would have cost me a lot. >> Max: I also have not read it, so I'm just going to go generate it, send it over to you and who knows what it's going to say. >> Nicholas: It's just going to give me like a 500 word essay summary of the movie magnolia instead of this one about Seward park. >> Max: Always hallucinating.

>> Nicholas: Yeah, it's always hallucinating. It's just something about it. Anyway, very cool stuff. Also cool artwork, just like super clean episode specific stuff. And then they just have the branding at the bottom for the show, which you love jumping on over. Let's go with Jesse for our next contestant, shall we? >> Kristy: We shall.

>> Speaker F: Charles flicked his screen back on, and instantly muted the displays of the others, most of whom had, ah, paused their participation in a similar fashion as they stepped away to deal with other matters. He left Vincent's channel open and Casey rejoined. It's just. He began, turning to Margaret. Can I be honest with you? Going upstairs is going to be dangerous. Even if the enviro suits keep people alive, we have to fix the oxygen levels. There's going to be a lot

of risk. Yes, there's hope, and we've got to cling to that, but that doesn't mean we're in the clear. Whoever we select for that initial team could be going on a suicide mission. And if we send no one, said Marguerite, we'll all be headed there. There will probably be very little food, said Charles. In fact, that's quite likely. >> Nicholas: Okay, here are your options, Jesse. Number one,

untold tales. Number two, tall tales. And number three, titillating tales. This was definitely for Christy at some point, wasn't it? >> Elissa: I don't know. Could be. >> Nicholas: It would have been if I were in charge. >> Elissa: I could have made them. I could have not made them. Who's to say? >> Kristy: It really got me by the tail on this one. But I. I. I feel like this man is a little too serious to have a podcast with the word titillating in it.

>> Nicholas: You want me to swap that one out for you, Jesse? Would that help? >> Kristy: It would duck tales. >> Nicholas: Moving on. >> Kristy: Tall tales. You know I love some. Alliteration but I'm going to go untold tales. I, feel like the t sounds, there's three of them there, some good percussion, so we're going to go with number one. >> Nicholas: Okay. Untold tales it is good.

Anya, you are totally right. And just want to compliment the artwork really quickly because we got some cool. It looks like episode specific art done in this kind of like watercolor y concept art style. I don't know, I just think it's cool. It kind of reminds me of Ralph McQuarrie, if anyone knows who that is. And yeah, neat. This was from episode 117, sanctuary. And here's a bit about the show, authored and led by doctor J. A. Robinson, technologist and author, and narrated by Elissa del

Toro Schaffner. The Untold Tales audio anthologies is a collection of original science fiction short stories of the highest caliber. Perfect for your commute or unexpected downtime. These bite sized audio dramas come in different flavors and highlight the works of new authors. Victorian Sci-Fi parallel realities, cautionary tales, horror, time travel. Each episode of Untold Tales is an independent short story drenched in the luscious promises of danger, technology, love, hope, discovery, and

mystery. So there you have it. Cool stuff all around. I'm actually starting to get into reading Sci-Fi, like in short stories and stuff. I've been going through a bunch of, like, old stories, so I am going to be adding this to my list and I will be chat gpting essays about it to just send. I'm just going to send you guys these essays at random. >> Elissa: I thought you were going to stop at reading. Like, I'm just getting into reading.

>> Nicholas: I was like, no, I'm like an insane. I read way too much. yeah, I'm reading the dictionary. I'm halfway through the a's. It's a slow burn, but it's getting good. It's getting, shall I say, awesome, a word I don't know the meaning of yet because I didn't get that far. Good. Yeah. Thank you. >> Max: Deep cut. >> Nicholas: Yeah. So cool stuff. I'm actually going to bookmark this for later. Jumping on over. Let's go with critique next. >> Max: Let's do it.

>> Speaker F: It's like, if your confidence is low, tell

me you don't know. Be very certain. I only want that very high confidence level. I mean, certainly the work I did with image recognition, if you weren't coming into the high eighties, low nineties and higher than that, then you were overfitted. But then you didn't know what it was. But the other factor is the engineering part. Right. So I think in many cases, what we're seeing is sometimes the response

is only good as the prompt to it. right. So if I just say, help me build a presentation, what are you going to? I can't get ten different answers ten different times. >> Nicholas: Right. >> Speaker F: But if I say, help me build a presentation that you've seen Bob Warren work done, on SQL server performance troubleshooting. Obviously, I'm going to get a more precise response from

that. So I think you've seen the same thing. So what we're trying to do with these rag patterns is you do very specific things with the data that you already have, like a search within your database or something. Then you augment that with the question with the prompt from the customer to the model. >> Nicholas: All right, here are your choices. Number one, it talk, and more.

Number two, run as radio. And number three, Powershell pod. >> Max: Let's go the Powershell one. >> Nicholas: Okay. Powershell pod is unfortunately incorrect. Yeah, so sorry, I do want to call out, I didn't get the title of this. It is run as radio. I didn't get it until I, like, while I was listening as admin, I'm. >> Max: Pretty sure it's like, it's all.

>> Nicholas: Yeah. Ah, well, I just got like a flash of light in my head and I just imagined Windows 98 with the run as command specifically. And I was like, oh, that's the title. I get it. It's a good title. >> Max: Yeah, it's a good title. >> Nicholas: Really good title. And this is from the episode SQL server and AI with Mao's maze and Bob ward. I'm assuming they're talking about AI because otherwise they would be talking about someone named Al.

And that doesn't seem very it adjacent. >> Max: It was actually a pretty good clip. It's, similar to stuff that we're even looking at on our side internally for like our promo pack generation. It's pretty relevant, actually. Yeah. >> Nicholas: Well, there you go. So unfortunately, product team, you guys were pitching a perfect game until this. But it sounds like we're three for three with like, one of us actually wanting to continue listening to these podcasts.

So. Hey, that's neat. Just an observation. Let's, see if that continues with the next one where you guys all team up, you all cover your eyes, and we just go at it as a group. >> Speaker G: And so, like, when they win all the games, they get any wish they want, and there's no limit to the wishes. What the girl was explaining, she's like, so I'm guessing everybody who wins gets a wish or when you win, you can get however many wishes you want in them as you can think of, in that moment.

I don't know yet, but m I've been special for a few episodes. I watched this one, so it's like brave caesars. >> Nicholas: I don't know. I don't know. >> Speaker G: They haven't got to the games yet. Like, the first game they played was like a memory game, but like, they. The twist they added was like, the cards

didn't stay in the same place. Like, if you ever played memory where you gotta, like, flip over one card, then find the match, but like, the cards are, like, revolving around them, so they gotta be like, oh, that one, that one, that one. You gotta memorize, like, the revolutions of the cards instead of like. >> Speaker F: That's crazy. >> Speaker G: Yeah, it was, it was. It was like, I was like, okay, y'all just over complicated. A real simple game. But I mean.

I mean, it's real simple. You got like 16 cards, but like, how many cards did they have? It was like, s***, like 60 or something like that. It was a bunch of. >> Nicholas: All right, there was your clip, and here are your choices. Number one,

black geek energy. Number two, big, big energy with Elissa Stevens. And number three, chala. Pod challah. >> Max: These are good options. I like big, big energy. I like the last one too. I don't even know what was it. Challah. Pod chala. >> Nicholas: Pod chala. >> Max: Good one. >> Nicholas: It's a deep cut, but not really. >> Max: I don't know where it's cutting from, but I like the sound of it. >> Nicholas: Okay, do you need me to explain it? Because I can.

>> Max: Sure, yeah, that would help. >> Nicholas: So cha la head challah is the theme song to Dragon Ball Z, the anime from the eighties through the nineties. So cha la pod chala. Is that. But podcast, I think it's. >> Max: I like that one a lot, but I think it's number one because. >> Max: I don't think you guys would have written that title. I don't think you guys came up with black geek energy. >> Nicholas: You don't know.

>> Max: I mean, I just feel like you wouldn't bring race into, like, a ringer. >> Elissa: Could be a typo. Could very well be a typo. >> Nicholas: It's true. >> Max: I agree with Max's reasoning. >> Nicholas: M. It could be a case of spontaneous dyslexia on my part. >> Max: Let's go with number one. >> Nicholas: Okay. Number one it is. Black geek energy. Y'all are correct. >> Max: There you go.

>> Nicholas: And, yeah, no, I had that thought, like, when we were building to this one where I was like, I'd be very disappointed if you guys got this one wrong. >> Max: Like, I mean, I just feel like, I don't know, it seemed it would be, seemed like a weird one to come up with. >> Nicholas: Yeah. >> Max: The other one was good, though. The Chala Pachalov.

>> Nicholas: Thank you. Yes, that was my inclusion because I saw this one was about anime, and I was like, well, I feel like I should put an anime reference in here somewhere, you know? Anyway, this is from the episode what spring 2024 anime are we watching? Here's our description. Join Jared, DeMarcus, and Laurenta as we discuss everything from comics to video games, anime to movies and more. We keep it real and fun, bringing our

unique perspectives to the world of geekdom. If youre a black geek looking for a community where you could be yourself, share your passion for all things geeky, and have a good laugh along the way, then the black Geek energy is the podcast for you. Join us and lets geek out together. So there you go. I don't know how many of you guys watch anime. I don't really, but yeah, cool stuff all around. >> Max: That's surprising, really, you're into. I would have guessed anime was in the mix.

>> Nicholas: I actually, I do get that a lot. There are animes I like, but I don't actually go out of my way to watch anime. >> Max: Like, I do watch at least ten animes a week. Not an anime connoisseur. >> Nicholas: I'm not an anime connoisseur. I only have every episode of Cowboy Bebop memorized and committed to memory. >> Max: That would make sense. >> Nicholas: You know, I'm humble like that. >> Max: Hm.

>> Nicholas: So, no, yeah. Cool stuff all around, though, for sure. And on that note, thanks for playing, everybody. you got so close to a perfect game, but no cigar. And yeah, we'll just see what happens next time, I guess. Thanks to everyone for listening too. And yeah, bye.
