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.
#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.
#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?
I remember neither the piece of content nor the context but I did love when Rorie called someone out on that recently: "Did you read beyond the headline?"

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.

Oh hell yes this weeks punch up the jam is gonna be a great one.
The hard part will be editing out weird pauses and stuff... If I even bother with that for episode 0
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

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.
theres definitely a length that Just Too Long, but I try to leave in most natural pauses
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’m 100% with Jeff on this bombcast, that Quake 2 video is the only thing that is making me consider one of those new video cards.
I saw an episode of Real Sex when I was a teen and it had people extolling the virtues of glass dildos because you could chill them and warm them and then put them in you in quick succession for a titillating shock.
One of my managers in college described to me that she once filled a condom up with water, attached it to the ceiling of her freezer, and then froze it.

I like it more than they do but it's easily the worst season and Stars is SO much better

I didnt even know jordan had a baby!
and named him Darien!
But flstudio mobile is complicated and I'm not that good at music.
Someone just like give me ideas on some notes to use /chord progression of something?
This works pretty good actually! At least for a super simple little silly jingle.
I made one of the synths sound like a phaser too so that's fun.
I spent way longer than I'd like trying to figure out what this was an acronym for before realizing it's chords

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

I think not having David around to shut him up just lets him go Super Saiyan
weird, I dont get that vibe like, at all
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
One of my managers in college described to me that she once filled a condom up with water, attached it to the ceiling of her freezer, and then froze it.
She later used it for... Well, you can imagine.
She would not recommend it at all.
