Apple Enters the Video Podcast Wars
I’m a huge fan of podcasts. Watching them is one of the main methods I use to learn. Whenever I’m trying to learn about a topic, I find the most knowledgeable and credible people (i.e., they’ve had outsize success) in that field and listen to them being interviewed on podcasts. Like many, I started off on Apple Podcasts, but over the last few years I’ve been consuming podcasts via YouTube. I don’t watch the videos, really; I just listen. But YouTube’s search and discovery algorithm makes it many times easier to find relevant podcasts. Combine that with the fact that most podcasts (even audio-only ones) can be found on YouTube, and it became hard to stick with Apple Podcasts.
Today, the battle for podcast dominance heated up a bit. Apple announced that its Podcasts app will start supporting video in addition to audio podcasts (see here). This likely isn’t enough to get me to switch back to Apple for podcasts, but it signals the importance of podcasts to Apple and how video is becoming a dominant part of the podcasting landscape.
I’m curious to see what other changes (if any) Apple makes to its Podcasts app. YouTube has shown how lucrative placing ads in videos can be, and I imagine Apple wants in on this revenue source—especially when you consider that they pretty much invented the podcast space.
Want Honest Feedback? Ask ChatGPT This
I use AI daily, and for most of 2025, I used ChatGPT as my main AI tool. This week, a friend asked me if I wanted some candid feedback. A look in the mirror, so to speak, with the reflection generated by AI’s understanding of me. I love getting candid, raw feedback, so I said yes.
They told me to run this prompt in ChatGPT: “Be blunt and honest with me and tell me what I need to change for 2026.”
Using the 5.2 model, I did. Even though ChatGPT doesn’t have full context about me because I don’t run everything I’m thinking or doing through the platform, it still gave me a thorough, thought-provoking response. It got me thinking, which I enjoyed.
If you’re a ChatGPT user and you’re curious about what it thinks you should change about yourself, run this prompt. It’s fun!
Blog Pages Are No Longer Freezing While Loading
Some pages of specific blog posts weren’t loading correctly. In fact, some pages weren’t loading at all or were only partially loading. As a result, the page would freeze on some desktop and mobile browsers. My friend looked into this, found the root cause of the problem, and fixed it. As of now, all blog post pages should load quickly on all devices.
If you’re still seeing this issue (or any other issue), please let me know so I can fix it.
