    #40: The Flower Child
    Ripoff Report is one of the original complaint websites. It’s basically the work of one person, a man whom the internet describes as a kind of mythical villain, a Keyser Söze who wields power from behind his janky website. Reply All producer Sruthi Pinnamaneni visits his bunker.

    #53: In the Desert
    Strangers keep coming to Mike and Christina’s house looking for their stolen cell phones. Nobody knows why. We travel to Atlanta to find out what’s going on, in our thorniest Super Tech Support yet.

    #56: Zardulu
    The rats are not what they seem.

    #68: Vampire Rules
    It’s an old story. Two people date, they break up, they both go on Tinder. And on Tinder, one of them stumbles across an incredibly creepy photo, taken inside the apartment they used to share.

    #76: Lost in a Cab
    Liz lost her camera in a cab, so she went to the New York City Taxi website to submit it to their lost and found database. At least, that's what she thought she did. Alex investigates and finds a big business behind the success of a suspicious little website.

    #79: Boy in Photo
    Who was Wayne?

    #83: Voyage Into Pizzagate
    A conspiracy theory, a pizza related map, and a website fighting for its very soul.

    #104: The Case of the Phantom Caller
    A woman in New Jersey is getting strange phone calls to her office from unknown numbers. Every time she picks up, she finds herself eavesdropping on the life of a different stranger. Unsure what else to do, she calls in Super Tech Support.

    #130: The Snapchat Thief
    This week, a new Super Tech Support: after Lizzie's Snapchat gets hacked, things start getting really creepy. Alex investigates.

    but really it's a show with a remarkable hitrate, I'd say about a solid 90% of the episodes are worth listening to, I actually just finished the entire archive today

    Brad: Also Apex apparently scrapes a bunch of data off of your PC
    Will Smith: ... like what games you have installed?
    Brad: I didn't dig too deep into the article...

    I know it's gauche to rag on Brad these days, but for fucks sake Brad, maybe actually READ the news for the news segment you host? Especially if you're going to make a statement like that?

    Phantom Caller was brilliant. So creepy

    I also loved Long Distance and The Bitcoin Hunter. I'm still working my way through the archive, it's a lot, and so far I think I've only had one episode I didn't get interested in.

    Also editing podcasts doesn't seem so bad

    The hard part will be editing out weird pauses and stuff... If I even bother with that for episode 0

    It's a bit of a blunt force solution, but after noise removal I use Truncate Silence to change any silence longer than 0.5 seconds down to 0.4 seconds

    As a listener, I'd rather the pauses stay in than this. The unnatural speed-talk effect is a huge turn-off for me.

    tip that took me too long to learn, if you’re editing out an “um” or a part of a sentence, highlight part you just cut and use “crossfade clips” in Audacity, it will make the cut MUCH cleaner and often almost invisible

    theres definitely a length that Just Too Long, but I try to leave in most natural pauses

    my rule of thumb is to chop silences when they exceed 2 seconds unless there’s a good reason not to

    Yeah absolutely, trimming silence is an important editing step, but it's important (to me) for it to still sound like a natural conversation and to get that you gotta do it manually.

    The length recommended to me originally was 0.3, but I found that too fast

    About half a second, give or take, feels juuust about right... but a big part of that is probably down to biases built up through exposure (and I do take the time to edit in silences where there were longer ones)

    Our podcast has a lot of 5+ second silences, though

    Yeah given the nature of the show that makes sense. And, like, I get it--trimming silences manually can incredibly time-consuming and probably not worth it for what you gain, especially when you're doing it as a hobby rather than a paid job

    It'd be different if we were all in the same room; most of what the Truncate Silence does, for me, is compensate for lag in Skype chats and the bits where we're all gathering our thoughts or mis-reading when we expect other parties to talk (we sit in anticipatory silence at least as often as we accidentally talk over each other)

    I think part of it, for me, is most of the editing I've done has been either on shows where there's a lot of cross-talk--kind of the opposite scenario of yours, which means a lot of manually shifting bits around so that voices aren't overlapping--or on solo audio, in which case controlling the pacing is really important to keeping it engaging. And I'm bad at pacing naturally, so I gotta put in the work in post.

    I went to a Protomen show a few years ago and the DJ at the venue before the show was playing a bunch of classic rock which everyone was ignoring

    Bowie, nothing, Queen, yawn, Zepellin, eh

    but then they started playing Come On Eileen, and slowly you could hear people start to sing along

    and after about a minute everyone was losing their shit

    and then the DJ, RIGHT before the second chorus, cut the song off

    and I have NEVER heard a more anguished cry in my life
