Send us a textEver caught yourself saying, "I should start a podcast"? You're not alone. But between technical hurdles and fears of speaking into the void, many never take that first step. That's why we've brought in podcast editor extraordinaire Phil Quinn to demystify the entire process.Phil peels back the curtain on what truly matters when launching a podcast—and it's not expensive microphones or technical wizardry. "If you've got a laptop with a camera on it and a pair of AirPods, you can podcast," he reveals. The real challenge? Understanding the time commitment and knowing exactly who you want to reach. With over 4 million podcasts competing for attention, having clear direction makes all the difference between creating another forgotten show and building something meaningful.We dive deep into practical strategies that won't overwhelm beginners, from utilizing "power advocates" to grow your audience organically to leveraging AI tools for content creation. Phil shares his experience working with local businesses for starter sponsorships ($25 per episode) while I offer perspective on how podcasting can indirectly generate income through workshops and consulting opportunities. We also explore the nuts and bolts—recording equipment, hosting platforms like Buzzsprout and SoundCloud, and the importance of owning your content through a dedicated website.Throughout our conversation, one theme emerges repeatedly: authenticity trumps perfection. The moments that resonate most with listeners are rarely the polished sound bites but rather the genuine, unguarded exchanges that make podcasting such a powerful medium. If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting for the "perfect time" to launch your podcast, this episode might just be the gentle nudge you need. Subscribe, share with that friend who's been talking about starting a podcast for years, and let us know what ideas this conversation sparks for you!Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Follow Biz on IG:https://www.instagram.com/jacobbizmorrisTimestamp:1:03 Building a Team vs. Handling it AllBiz emphasizes the benefits of artists building a team from the outset, highlighting that it reduces stress, allows for shared workload, and enables everyone to grow financially as the artist succeeds. He notes that while some artists can do everything themselves, it often leads to burnout.2:36 Artist Mixing Their Own MusicBiz acknowledges that some artists are capable of producing good mixes, especially when they are trying to maintain a specific vibe. However, he believes the majority of artists who mix their own music should stop, as the quality is often not up to par. He attributes this to "demo-it is," where artists become too accustomed to the sound of their self-mixed demos.3:58 Impact of Mix Quality on StreamsBiz explains that a bad mix can lead to a high skip rate on streaming platforms, meaning artists don't get paid if listeners don't make it past 30 seconds. He also points out that poor mix quality can hinder a song from being placed on playlists or accepted by influencers, as it can reflect poorly on their brand.6:26 Defining a Good MixA good mix, according to Biz, translates well across all devices (car, AirPods, Bluetooth speakers) and has no distractions, allowing the listener to fully grasp the artist's vision and emotion. A bad mix often has buried or muddy vocals, excessive reverb, or poor-sounding drums.9:20 Biz's Background and Favorite GenresBiz shares his journey, starting as a recording engineer at 14 and falling in love with mixing after moving to Atlanta in 2012. He has worked with artists like Lrae, David Kushner, and Surfaces. While a majority of his credits are in hip-hop, he enjoys mixing pop music more due to the challenge of achieving a clean, pristine sound.13:09 AI in Mixing and MasteringBiz sees AI mastering as useful for creating better-sounding demos, especially for producers and songwriters pitching songs. However, he believes AI mixing is not yet good. He recounts his past experience with an automated mixing service ("Mixed") which, while successful for some tracks, was ultimately shut down because artists preferred human engineers. He emphasizes that people seek human artists for their unique point of view and taste.allowing artists to submit notes through a dashboard.21:29 Spatial Audio Biz is a fan of Atmos, believing it makes records sound better. He highlights that Apple Music pays 10% higher royalties for songs provided in spatial audio, even if the Atmos version isn't played. He built his studio to support Atmos mixing to help independent artists "play the game" and compete with major labels that have more resources.• 27:50 Responsible AI Training and OwnershipBiz raises questions about how AI song creators acquire their data models, suggesting they might be scraping from DSPs like Spotify and YouTube. He discusses the challenge of creating an AI mixing model due to the need for vast amounts of diverse genre data, which major labels primarily own. He expresses concern that labels might create AI mixing platforms that save them money without necessarily benefiting the artist.38:48 "Too Cheap to be Good" PerceptionBiz addresses the perception that "Get Mixed" is too cheap to offer good quality. He assures that the quality, gear, setup, and studio are the same as his high-end services, but the lower price is due to the streamlined system and convenience. He also acknowledges that some artists find the price too high, leading him to offer discounts.This channel is ran by the founders of No Labels Necessary, Sean "Brandman" Taylor and Jacorey "Kohrey" Barkley.

Apple se enfrenta a la Unión Europea por una serie de normas que podrían cambiar su modelo de negocio. Hoy analizo lo que está en juego para el ecosistema de Apple. La estrategia de Apple: control del ecosistema y blindaje tecnológico Durante más de una década, Apple ha construido un ecosistema cerrado en el que hardware, software y servicios están profundamente integrados. Desde los chips propios hasta sistemas operativos exclusivos, todo está pensado para ofrecer una experiencia fluida… siempre que se utilicen productos de Apple. El emparejamiento automático entre AirPods y iPhones, la sincronización entre Apple Watch y iOS, o las funciones exclusivas de FaceTime y AirDrop, son algunos ejemplos. Las exigencias de la Unión Europea: más competencia, menos monopolio La Unión Europea ha comenzado a aplicar el Digital Markets Act (DMA), una normativa pensada para limitar el poder de las grandes tecnológicas y fomentar la interoperabilidad. En este contexto, Apple está obligada a permitir a otras marcas acceder a funcionalidades que hasta ahora eran exclusivas: desde emparejamientos por Bluetooth y notificaciones, hasta pasarelas de pago. El futuro del ecosistema Apple: ¿adaptarse o enfrentarse a sanciones? Apple tiene dos caminos por delante: adaptarse a las normativas europeas y abrir su sistema, o resistirse y enfrentarse a multas, sanciones y una posible pérdida de reputación. Aunque por ahora ha comenzado a hacer concesiones (como permitir tiendas de apps externas en la UE), cada cambio parece llegar con restricciones que diluyen el espíritu del DMA.

What would you do if your world slowly started going silent—and you didn't know why? This week on Pushing Limits, we bring you the story of Claire, a young student in Utah who began losing her hearing in fifth grade, despite having no family history of disability. When Claire was in fifth grade, she noticed the hearing in her right ear dropped, followed by her left ear. Now entering ninth grade, Claire reflects on her journey of obtaining hearing aids, a cochlear implant, and how she and her mother, Michelle, are learning to navigate a new language, a new identity, and a new understanding of access. Tune in as we ask what her audiologist and ENT did to help her, what made her decide to get a cochlear implant in her right ear, and how she learned to adapt to the cochlear implant. How do mother and daughter feel about learning American Sign Language? This week, Denny Daughters talks to Claire and her mother Michelle to answer all these questions and more. Plus, for a full transcript of the entire program, scroll down. The idea for this episode of Pushing Limits came from Denny's wife, Deah Daughters. This show was hosted, edited, and produced by Denny Daughters. Audio transcription was by Nicole Struthers.   Pushing Limits – Sudden Changes [Opening intro music]   Denny:  Hello, and welcome to Pushing Limits, KPFA's program by and about people with disabilities. We air every Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.  I'm your host, Denny Daughters. Today, I have two guests, Claire and her mother, Michelle. Both live in Utah. Claire will be going into ninth grade this fall. This is her final year of junior high. Claire's mom, dad, and three siblings don't have any disabilities.   In fifth grade, Claire was a typical kid without any disabilities. That year, she lost her hearing. She went from having hearing aids in both ears to having a hearing aid in her left ear and a cochlear implant in her right ear. Welcome to Pushing Limits. Let's start out with a brief introduction from both of you.   Claire:  I'm Claire, and I lost my hearing in fifth grade, so it's been almost four years.   Michelle:  My name's Michelle, and I'm Claire's mom.   Denny:  How many people are in your family?   Claire:  I have two brothers, one sister. I'm the youngest.   Denny:  Do any of your family members have disabilities?   Claire:  No.   Denny:  Do you remember what you were doing when you lost your hearing, and what was it like for you after you lost your hearing?   Claire:  I remember very well. I was just playing Legos, and then it just dropped, and it started ringing, and it never stopped. So, I'd be like, “Mama, it's still in my ear,” and I could still hear out my other ear. It's kind of like a bunch of buzzing or like the ringing in your ears, but also sometimes it'll sound like there's a fly in your ear or something. We would put stuff in my ears trying to get a fly out, because I thought there was a fly in my ear.   Michelle:  She wouldn't believe me that there was no fly in her ear and would ask me to check over and over –   Claire:  Every day.   Michelle:  — because she just felt like there was —   Claire:  It sounded like it.   Michelle:  — a fly, but it was ringing so loud that I was having to yell really loud for her just to be able to hear me.   Claire:  Yeah.   Denny:  When the buzzing in Claire's ears wouldn't go away, it took about a week for them to get in to see her pediatrician, and then it was two weeks after that for them to see the ENT.  Here's Michelle.   Michelle:  It started to ring, and we talked to her pediatrician –   Claire:  Oh, yeah.   Michelle:  — right away.   Claire:  I don't remember that.   Michelle:  And he thought that maybe she had some fluid in her ears, and so we went and got that checked out, and it looked okay, but they put her on a medication in case there was some fluid that they couldn't detect, and then he had us wait.  At that point, when it didn't come back, then he had us go see an ENT.   We got her in pretty quickly. The thing that was tricky is that I started calling around to different ENTs, and no one could get her in.  They were all booked out pretty far, even just a month or two, but I was trying to explain, “She can't hear. I feel like this is kind of an urgent thing.” So, I finally found a place that could get her in, you know, it was a week or two after I called. They weren't pediatric, but it was fine.   They did an audiology test, and then she met with the ENT. They at that point just said – and this was our first doctor appointment – but they said, “Oh, she's going to need hearing aids,” and it just caught me so off guard, because everything up to that point you'd fixed. Right? She gets strep throat, you get medication, you fixed it. For them to just flat-out say, “Oh, she lost her hearing,” it was just shocking to me.  I don't think Claire even knows this, but I cried the whole way home, and she couldn't hear me in the back seat because she couldn't hear, and I was just devastated.   Claire:  Oh, yeah.   Michelle:  So, I came home and started researching more, and I saw that sometimes with sudden hearing loss, steroids would help.  I called my pediatrician that night. He's a friend of ours, and so I called him at 9:00 at night and said, “Would you prescribe some steroids for her to try?” He said, “You need to get in to this one specific ENT as soon as you can,” and I said, “I actually have an appointment with him, but it's not for another month and a half,” and he said, “I will get you in tomorrow.”   The next morning, I got a call from their office, and they got Claire in that day, and they did another audiology test with her, and then they gave her a round of steroids, which did bring her hearing back a little bit.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  But we had to go through all of the motions to see if there was anything that we could do to help with that, and it didn't, and so at that point, they decided the hearing aids would be the best option.   The first time we went in to this office that we're with now, the pediatric audiologist that we're with was on a humanitarian trip, and so they just had her seeing whoever was available at the time for her appointments.  But once we got in with this specific audiologist, she has just been –   Claire:  She was perfect.   Michelle:  — so incredibly amazing.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  I would say that's something that's been amazing with Claire's journey is just how amazing the people have been.  Her audiologist, we've gotten to become really close with.  She's just been amazing.  I couldn't ask for anything better. Her ENT, same thing.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  Just, they've been so good for Claire and done so much and truly cared about her, and it makes such a difference to go through this with that kind of healthcare provider.   Denny:  What were some of the emotions you were going through while all this was going on?   Claire:  I was just confused, because I didn't really know. When I was younger, I thought it was just like silence, so I didn't understand why I just had a ringing in my ear and why I couldn't hear, so I was really just confused. I wasn't really too nervous or anything.   Denny:  How did you feel when you found out first you were going to have hearing aids?   Claire:  I was kind of excited, because I've always wanted to experience stuff like that, and also because I could hear and stuff.   Denny:  Which ear did you lose your hearing in first?   Claire:  It started in the right ear, and then it came to the left, and then they were pretty good. Then my right ear kind of dropped, so then they did a bunch of stuff. They were testing things again, putting me on steroids, trying to see if we could get my right ear up, and then we talked about maybe getting a cochlear implant.   Denny:  Claire, have you ever been around somebody who's deaf before?   Claire:  Yeah.  I've met kids at school.   Michelle:  There was one kid that had hearing aids, but he wasn't really –   Claire:  No, he had two hearing aids, and then this kid with two cochlears and a girl with a hearing aid.   Michelle:  Okay.  But at that time, you didn't really know them.   Claire:  Yeah, and I still don't know them.  Like, I know them, and I knew their names, but it's not like we were friends, and I never really talked to them.   Denny:  Some people in the deaf community feel that it's better to learn American Sign Language, ASL, in order to preserve the deaf culture rather than getting cochlear implants. What are your thoughts on that, Claire?   Claire:  I don't have that many feelings, but I also feel like I tried learning ASL, but I didn't really like doing it, and I felt like it was really hard for me to learn.  Having things like cochlears for kids who might not be able to do it or like – yeah, just not being able to do it or anything.   Denny:  So, for you, learning ASL was difficult?   Claire:  Yeah.  I only tried it for a little bit of time, and then I kind of just stopped.  I know some words and the alphabet, but it's not like I know all of the signs.   Michelle:  Can I share my thoughts on that, too?   Claire:  Yeah, you can share your thoughts.   Denny:  Absolutely.   Michelle:  So, I actually love ASL.  I have always been fascinated with it. When I was little, I took a class during the summer, and I just love it. Anytime we've been anywhere where there's an interpreter that is signing, I just focus on that, and I think it is such a beautiful language. I would still love for Claire and I and other members of our family to learn it, because there are times – for example, we're on the beach, or at night when she's going to bed and she doesn't have her devices on – that I think it would be amazing.   But as we talked about the decision to do a cochlear, we realized that Claire is in a hearing community. She lives in a hearing community. Her family is hearing. Her friends are hearing.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  Her neighbors are hearing. And so, for Claire to be a part of that community, if there's an option where she can still be hearing, that's her community.  I think that would be different if other members of our family were deaf or other people in our community close to us. But because of that, we felt if there's an option for her to be able to still have that, that was what would make her more successful in the community that she's in.   Denny:  Besides giving you steroids, what were some of the other things they tried with your hearing aids?   Claire:  Not only did my hearing aid test, but they did a lot of cochlear tests, and then they would try stuff other than steroids. They turned up my hearing aid, because they can make the sound on hearing aids lower and less volume and a stronger volume.   Denny:  Were the tests hard that they had you do?   Claire:  No. It's kind of stuff like I go in this booth, and it's like, “Repeat this sentence. Repeat these words,” just to see how well I can hear those things, but if I don't hear it, I just say nothing. A lot of them were like, “Say armchair.  Say hot dog, baseball,” really weird, just random words.   Denny:  Michelle, were you there for all the tests?   Michelle:  Yes, I was there for every one of them. She was in the sound booth, and then I was sitting by the audiologist.   Claire:  Because the audiologist has headphones and a microphone, so she can talk to me and hear me, but she couldn't, but she was at least in the office.   Michelle:  And there was a window, so we could see her.   Claire:  Yeah.   Denny:  For two years, the hearing aids helped, and then without warning, the hearing in her right ear suddenly decreased to almost nothing. When you decided to get the cochlear implant, were you presented with other options, or did you feel like this was the only option that you had?   Michelle:  I mean, first it was deciding if you wanted to get a cochlear.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  And it was, “The hearing aid will no longer work.”   Claire:  Well, and we tried steroids again.   Michelle:  Yeah, we did. We went through two different rounds of steroids to see if that would help, but it didn't help enough, so it became we can do a cochlear or not. And then once we chose to do a cochlear, they did present us with a few different companies that do cochlears.   Denny:  Did you ever feel like they were trying to push a certain technology on you?   Michelle:  No, never.   Claire:  No. They were asking us about it, like, “Do you want to try hearing aids?”   Michelle:  They talked about all the pros and cons of both hearing aids –   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  — and the cochlear. I sincerely felt that they had Claire's best interest in mind.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  But the decision very much felt like it was our decision –   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  — and they weren't telling us what we needed to do.   Denny:  Claire talks about the final round of tests she underwent before getting her cochlear.   Claire:  So, there was like a hearing box room for hearing aid and cochlear tests, and they would put me in there to make sure I needed it, and I was telling them afterwards, “I couldn't hear a thing.” I thought it was telling me to do actions, and apparently it was saying sentences or something. I don't even remember it.   Michelle:  Yeah, her audiologist said, “I only had to do that as a formality, but I knew that you wouldn't be able to pass that test,” –   Claire:  Yeah, I couldn't hear anything. I thought it was –   Michelle:  — because she had lost all that hearing in the right ear.   Denny:  How did you feel when you found out you couldn't hear the directions your audiologist was giving you?   Claire:  I wasn't too worried, because I knew that if that didn't work out, I would just have my hearing aid in my one ear and get my cochlear, and I would be able to hear in that ear again with the cochlear. Failing that test would mean I needed the cochlear.   Michelle:  Claire's been very resilient. When we were driving home from that, I wanted to kind of talk with her and say, “How are you feeling? What are your thoughts? Are you okay?” and Claire said, “There's a reason for everything that happens, and there's a reason for this.” I was just amazed at the maturity and the acceptance and the resilience, that she's been able to say, “There's a reason that this is happening,” and she's just gone with it, and she's done so well because of that. She's had such a great attitude.   Denny:  What's the definition of a cochlear implant? A cochlear implant has two parts to it. The processor is surgically inserted. It sits in the inner ear, and it bypasses the damaged cochlea cells. There are some really thin wires that stimulate the cochlear nerve endings. In most cases, they don't physically touch those nerve endings; they just stimulate them. The cochlear nerve endings are attached to the cochlear nerve, which is attached to the brain. The receiver sits outside the skull, collecting sounds in the natural environment. The two components are connected via a magnet.   When they gave you your pre-surgery instructions, do you remember if they said anything besides ‘Don't eat anything after 11 p.m. the night before your surgery'?   Claire:  I don't think so. It was really just like a normal surgery that you would undergo.   Denny:  Were there any scary moments with your surgery?   Claire:  The only scary part for me was if they hit this certain nerve, then I wouldn't be able to move the right side of my face. That's one of the biggest ones. They'll have little things by it so if they get too close with the thing, they'll know.   Michelle:  Yeah. So, to clarify, if they touch that nerve, it will paralyze half of your face, and so during surgery, they have sensors all over your face so that if you get even close to it, the sensor goes off so that the doctor knows that he's getting close to that nerve.   Claire:  Yeah. That was the only part that scared me about the surgery, because I've had other surgeries.   Denny:  The city of Lehi is about 28 miles south of Salt Lake City. Here's Michelle.   Michelle:  Claire was the first child to have a cochlear implant surgery at the new Primary Children's Hospital that they had just opened in Lehi.  So, they got her under anesthesia, and then the doctor realized they didn't have all of the tools that he needed to do it, and so they had to get them from the other hospital in Salt Lake. She ended up being back there double the time, and so they called to give us an update and said, “They haven't started yet.” They didn't go into details at that point, and we were so confused why she had been back in the OR for so long.   Claire:  It was same-day surgery, so I was able to leave after that and go home.  I was excited to go to my bed.   Denny:  The surgery took between five and six hours to complete rather than the usual two or three hours. What was it like for you recovering from the surgery?   Claire:  It was a very long recovery, I'd say. I'd be mainly staying in bed, and people would come visit, and my mom was like, “Come out to the couch.” I didn't really want to walk around too much, because I'd get dizzy and feel nauseous. I was tired a lot of the time, so I didn't really want to talk to people as much, but I still wanted to see them and visit with them.  I mainly just stayed in my room, and I watched shows on my headphones.   I didn't lay on that side of my head for a while, because there was stitches, and it hurt. I would wear clothes that I didn't have to put over my head, like button-ups and stuff, so I didn't have to put anything around that ear. I just laid in bed and rested and had medicine.   Michelle:  It's hard to watch your kid struggle, you know, after surgery, when she was so miserable and she kept saying, “I wish we wouldn't have done this.” That only lasted a couple days, but it hurts to see them go through that.   Claire:  Yeah.   Denny:  How long did it take to recover from your surgery?   Claire:  I want to say like maybe a week or something.   Michelle:  Yeah, maybe. I can't remember exactly.   Claire:  It was like a week or so.   Michelle:  But after a few days, her dizziness was so bad she didn't even want to lift up her head.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  So, her ENT called in a little patch to put behind her ear, and we tried that, and that actually helped quite a bit, too.   Claire:  Yeah.   Michelle:  So, it was probably four days, five days, maybe.   Claire:  Yeah. And also, I have a small goose egg where the magnet is. It's kind of just popped up a little bit where the magnet is, just a little bump on the back of my head.   Michelle:  But the scar from the surgery, you wouldn't even know it's there, it healed up so nicely.   Claire:  Yeah. Michelle:  It's right at the crease of her ear in the back.   Denny:  It's where your ear joins your skull in the very back, right?   Claire:  Yeah.   Denny:  Right. Okay.   Claire:  It's healed up. It took a while for it to be completely healed, I'd say like two months, but now you can barely even see the scar.   Denny:  94.1, KPFA. You're listening to Pushing Limits. I'm your host, Denny Daughters. Today, I'm talking to Claire and Michelle. Claire just finished telling us how she recovered from her cochlear implant surgery a couple years ago when she was in seventh grade.   While recovering from surgery, did you have a lot of schoolwork to make up?   Claire:  I only took off a couple days, and then I was back to school, and my teachers were very accommodating to me.  So, if I missed a test or I had something past due, like I couldn't turn it in, they would accommodate to me and let me do it because I had my surgery.   Michelle:  One of the things that was nice for Claire is a lot of times, people will get two cochlears at the same time, but because Claire had the one and then she has a hearing aid in her other ear, she was still able to hear through all of that process, which was really a nice advantage for her to have.   Claire:  Yeah.   Denny:  What was it like when your audiologist first turned on your cochlear implant?   Claire:  It was weird. It sounded like everyone was a robot. I couldn't hear out of it as well as my hearing aid, that's what I'm trying to say. If my mom talked, I couldn't really understand what she was saying. At night, I'd take out my hearing aid, and she'd cover her mouth and test, like she'd say words to see how well it improved. Eventually, we got to where my mom and dad would switch off saying words, and I wouldn't be able to say it, and now I can be like, “Oh, that's Mom,” “Oh, that's Dad,” “Oh, that's whoever.”   Denny:  Claire talks about when her audiologist turned on and adjusted the cochlear implant.   Claire:  I'd go in, and they would turn it on, and then I'd go in in another week, they'd test me and turn it up a little, and then in another two weeks, turn it up a little, see how well my tolerance for the sound needed to be and how high it should go or how low it should go. Now, we're to the point where it's like every six months, they make sure my hearing aid's not going down and I need another cochlear or anything like that.   Denny:  Claire, in your opinion, what's the possibility of you getting a second cochlear implant in your left ear?   Claire:  Personally, I think it's low, because my left hearing is good. If I take out my cochlear and my hearing aid, I can still hear out of my left ear a little bit. It's not a lot, but I can still hear a little bit.   Michelle:  Because they don't know the cause of her hearing loss, they said there's a chance that it could. Everything was so sporadic with her hearing loss in the first place, they just keep an eye on it, but they have no idea what that will look like.   Denny:  How long did it take for you to start recognizing different voices?   Claire:  Probably like three to four months, I'd say. But overall, for me to fully adjust, I'd say it'd take a year, because I had my year anniversary, and I'm doing a lot better now. Lip reading was a big thing when I downed my hearing aids at first. I'd be like, “What did you say?” I'm like, “Come closer. I need to read your lips.”   Denny:  Are you still pretty good at it?   Claire:  No.  I can still kind of do it, but it's very hard for me to read lips.   Michelle:  I think with the little bit of sound she was getting and the lips together, the combination…   Claire:  Yeah, with the little bit of sound.   Denny:  Did you have any other problems after getting your cochlear implant?   Claire:  It would give me headaches at first, because we got too strong of a magnet. There's different magnet strengths to stick on your head.   Denny:  The part of the cochlear implant that is detachable and sits on the outside of your ear, do they have a waterproof version of that so you can go swimming and take a shower?   Claire: There's no waterproof hearing aids, but there is an aqua kit for my cochlear implant, which I wish there was one for my hearing aid, because again, I can't hear out of my cochlear as well without my hearing aid, so I sometimes won't wear it, but at least I have that option.   Michelle:  And it's more of an option for swimming, not for showering and things.   Claire:  Yeah, not for showers.   Denny:  What was the support like from your friends and family?   Claire:  It's been good. My friends were really worried at first, because they didn't know why I was not at school for a while, because I didn't really tell them. They were supportive and really friendly. They'd write stuff on pieces of paper in school. I couldn't hear the teacher, so I'd ask them after, because we'd have little talks with our little groups with our teacher, and I wouldn't hear her.  So then, I'd ask my neighbor, and they were pretty accommodating in helping me.   And then, my family was super supportive. They adjusted to it. They would write stuff on pieces of paper or whiteboards to talk to me sometimes, or they would help my mom get my attention if she was further away.   Denny:  Have you ever been bullied or teased by other students?   Claire:  No.   Denny:  As we were talking about school, Claire brought up one of the frustrating things she encountered at school before she got her hearing aid.   Claire:  Before I got my hearing aid — because I didn't have it yet, because they had to make the mold and stuff – they'd give me this hearing aid that connected to a microphone so I could hear my teacher, but I couldn't hear anything else other than in that microphone, which got frustrating sometimes, because my teacher didn't know how to turn it off.   We'd go to art, and then I would hear my teacher talking to other teachers instead of my art teacher or whatever. It got frustrating at times, and I didn't like it as much as my hearing aid, but it was very nice of the accommodation, because then I could at least hear my teacher until I got my hearing aid.   Denny:  What kind of accommodations are you receiving?   Claire:  So, I have these two people who my mom can email. They can give me microphones that I can give to my teachers, which I don't like doing as much, but I can hook them up to a cord which go into my computer, so instead of having to wear headphones, which I can't really hear anyway, I just connected that, and then it goes from the computer into my hearing aid. Then they also will come, and if I need new tubing, which is a little thing that connects the ear mold and the electronic part of my hearing aid – like, my old one broke, and we can't get into my main ENT. My mom emailed her, and she came and fixed it for me. So, they'll just really help me with anything I need if they can.   Denny:  Tell me how the microphone connects to the computer and then to your hearing aid.   Claire:  There's a little thing. So, it plugs into the microphone, and then that thing that plugs in the microphone plugs into the computer, so instead of it plugging into my hearing aid, it plugs into the microphone. I can also use that on airplanes and stuff. I have one for at home that I got with my hearing aid, so I can also use that anywhere I really want.   Michelle:  Or if we were at a really busy place, you know, a really busy restaurant that was super loud –   Claire:  I could bring it with me and bring it to my mom –   Michelle:  She could bring it, yeah.   Claire:  — so I could hear her.   Denny:  Do things like music, listening to the radio, or different musical instruments sound any different with the cochlear implant?   Claire:  They sound about the same. My hearing aid, it's using the sound from my ear. It's not from my brain. With my cochlear, it sounds a little bit different, but with my hearing aid, it sounds basically the same.   Denny:  If you're eating something crunchy, like potato chips or carrots, you can still hear the crunch?   Claire:  Yeah. If I'm talking without my hearing aid and cochlear, I can hear myself, but I don't know how loud I am. Sometimes my friends will be like, “You're yelling,” and I just don't know. I don't have that concept of sound if I don't have any hearing aids in or cochlear or whatever.   Denny:  You have to see an audiologist every six months. Do you have to see an ENT, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, as well?   Claire:  No, just my audiologist. If it's like I'm losing my hearing and I need a cochlear or whatever, then we'll go see the ENT, but it's mainly my audiologist.   Michelle:  She just had her six-month checkup. The cochlear side that they tested, she's getting 68% accuracy in what she hears, which can sound not great, but without the cochlear, she would be hearing 0% and understanding 0% in that ear. Literally, when she was tested before in that ear, she understood zero. It's gone from 0 to 68. Every time she goes in, it does seem to increase some. It's not quite as good as her hearing aid ear, but almost hearing at 70% is a lot better than what she is without it.   Denny:  That's great. Claire, how do you feel about your numbers?   Claire:  I feel good about them. And, like, the sentences are really weird. They're like, “The sister-in-law is toxic poison,” so they're hard ones, too. That's one of the ones that I remember, because it was like I got 100% on them. They're weird ones, so sometimes I'm hesitant to say it, too. I can understand a lot better, too, with my hearing aid, which that was just with my cochlear.   Michelle:  With the combination, she actually hears really well.   Claire:  Yeah, with the combination, it's 100% or something. Michelle:  Yeah, or close to.   Claire:  95, 98 or whatever.   Denny:  Are there any activities that you can't do anymore because you have a cochlear implant?   Claire:  I can still swim, but it's kind of hard sometimes. It's good if it's an indoor place, because it's echoey, but sometimes I won't be able to hear them. It's harder if I'm with people, like at the ocean or whatever, because I don't want to wear my aqua kit thing because I'm worried I'm going to lose my cochlear. I can still do everything, but if I have to take off my hearing aid or cochlear, I'd rather not do it as much, because it's sometimes harder for me.   Denny:  When you're in a crowd or a noisy environment, is it hard to distinguish one voice from another?   Claire:  No, I can tell their tone of voice. Sometimes if it's really loud, my hearing aid, if it gets too close to something or something's really loud, it will send out a high-pitched noise. It's feedback. If I'm like at the audiologist's place, there's an elevator, and every time it comes down, it's like my hearing aid will give feedback at that event. It kind of hurts my ears when there's feedback, but I can take out my hearing aid, and I'll be fine.   Denny:  How long does the feedback last?   Claire:  As long as the noise is. So, if the noise is going on for a minute, the feedback's going to be going on for a minute, or if I'm laying against a pillow, it will be giving feedback until I get off the pillow. There's no feedback from my cochlear; it's just my hearing aid.   Denny:  Do you ever use the closed caption option when you watch TV?   Claire:  Not really, only if I don't have my hearing aids in or something. If I'm wanting to go to sleep because I'm getting tired, but I don't want to fall asleep with my hearing aids in — because I take them out, I put away my cochlear, I plug it in, my hearing aids on batteries – if I have my hearing aid and cochlear in, then I can just watch it, and I can still hear it just fine. I might turn it up a little louder, and people will be like, “Claire, we don't need to turn it up more. We need to turn it down more,” but I'm like, I can't hear it as well.   I could also put my microphone by the TV if I wanted to, just by the speaker of my TV, or Chromebook, or whatever I'm watching on. My hearing aid can Bluetooth connect to my iPhone, so it's like I'm having an AirPod or something in my ear, or an earbud. I can watch my TV show on my phone, and I can just hear it. Or like I'm cleaning my room, I can listen to my music while I come into the kitchen to grab something. I can still hear it, even though I'm far away from my room. I usually use Siri.   Michelle:  It reads all of her texts to her, so if she gets a text, it just pops up in her hearing aid.   Claire:  Yeah. So, I go to school, and they don't like us having our phones, so I make it so Siri reads me my text messages, so if it's an emergency, I can be like, “Oh, I need to look at my phone,” which is nice, because then I have it at school.   Denny:  Michelle, have you noticed any differences in Claire since she got the cochlear implant and hearing aid?   Michelle:  It was kind of weird, because she was hearing. There was a few months in there, but it was relatively short compared to someone who hadn't heard and then could hear. It was amazing for her to come home that first day with hearing aids and go, “I can hear my footsteps on the floor. I can hear my cup set down on the table. I can hear an airplane,” and it made me wonder a little bit if maybe her hearing had been fading a little bit before that, and she didn't know. I don't know.   Claire:  I think it did, because I'd do the hearing tests at school that they make you do in elementary. They were saying they were lower than normal.   Michelle:  Yeah, but still in a normal range. The hearing aid is kind of like an instant difference for her. Like, she didn't have them, she puts them in, it's like a microphone so she can hear immediately. The cochlear took about a year to adapt to, and so there was that difference, but when she got the hearing aids and could immediately just hear, we were just so grateful for that, because it was hard for her in this environment to not be able to hear.  I would flash the lights if I was trying to get her attention or different things like that.   Claire:  You still do that.   Denny:  Have you ever forgotten to charge one of your batteries?   Claire:  Actually, recently. I was at school, and it was dying because my battery thing for my cochlear was unplugged all night. I plugged it back in, and then right before I went to babysitting, I just switched it and went over and babysat. My hearing aid is on batteries, so it will let me know when it's low on battery, and then I'll switch it. On my phone, I can also look and be like, okay, I have 20%, so I still have time.   Denny:  Claire, what advice would you give to somebody who's thinking about getting a cochlear implant?   Claire:  I'd say it's a very good option, and even though it's frustrating at times, you just have to keep going with it, because there's going to be people sounding like robots, but if you don't wear it, they're going to keep sounding like robots. If you learn ASL beforehand, it helps, because then you can still talk to people after. There's a learning curve with it, is what I'm trying to say.   Michelle:  I agree. I think that it's definitely scary going into anything unknown. That's normal. It does require a lot of patience. With her hearing aid, it was instant hearing, and with this, it's not, and it does require a lot of patience, but given time, it's definitely been the right choice for Claire. I think part of that is getting the right audiologist and ENT, so I think if you don't feel confident or comfortable with how they're treating your healthcare, it's worth trying someone new.   Claire:  Switching, yeah.   Michelle:  So, that has made such a difference. We've seen that as being a big factor in her journey.   Denny:  I'd like to thank both Claire and Michelle for sharing their story with me and for letting me interview them for this episode of Pushing Limits. I'd also like to thank my wife, Deah Daughters, for coming up with the idea for this show.   Today's show was hosted, edited, and produced by Denny Daughters.

(pronounced Birr Island) This long, slow Devon day, is drawing softly to a close. Looking out to sea, the sky beyond has already fallen velvet black. It's midnight. Scattered lamps shine on Burgh Island. It looks from here more like a dark thicket, afloat on a vast water field. With glow worms, hiding.  The tide's in now. Closed around the island. Encircled it, with rich undulating sound. Filled up the wide sandy beach, for as far as the eye can see, with swirling shallows. Ankle deep. As the sea meets itself coming in across the causeway, it splashes up fingers of crisp white spray.       Some gulls are still aloft. High wheeling, but mostly quiet. Silently weaving between the stars. Riding on the diurnal winds. the off-shore breeze, or land breeze, created by the land-sea temperature contrast that happens at this time of night. * As with all Lento episodes it can take several minutes for your listening brain to properly switch into the soundscape. This one hour segment is from an overnight recording we made in April. The Lento box is perched on a second floor balcony looking straight down the causeway towards Burgh island, which is only about 200 yards from the box. Due to the topography of the beach and how it contours around the island, the sound-shape of the sea is interestingly different to other coastal locations we've captured. The breakers form and gather spatially, often very slowly, with long periods of swirling eddies in between. High tide is reached towards the end of this segment. Moderately strong wind gusts sometimes buffer the microphones. As a recording location it is exposed. We've applied some spot rumble reduction when this happens just to improve the experience for headphone / Airpod listeners.

It's a throwback audio episode with Brendan using his Airpods after finding himself in a travel delay. Nevertheless, Andy is on cloud nine over on Westy Island after Lee Westwood qualified for this month's Open Championship at Royal Portrush. The two reminisce about Westy's t-4 performance and stand-up morals at the 2019 Open before running through the rest of the 2025 qualifiers from overseas. They are particularly chuffed by Richard Teder, a 20-year-old from Estonia who holed out for eagle in a playoff to secure his spot at Portrush. Andy wonders if Dick Teder is the first player in a new generation of golfers - the Rory (Sabbatini) generation. LIV's 2026 schedule was leaked and the league won't make a stop in the United States until mid-May. Brendan and Andy run through the dates and the travel plans needed to play at majors throughout the world, such as going from Spain to Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. From there, it's time for some lock-hammer-fire picks for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. The "Champion House" is back and is sure to be catnip for the entirety of the week. It's the strongest field in tournament history and there's no better example of that than Rickie Fowler returning to the Quad Cities for the first time since 2010. Andy shares a little 2010 time capsule to contextualize how long its been since Rickie played the Deere and gets Brendan to sing along to some Ke$ha on a Tuesday afternoon. In news, Adam Schupak reported that numerous PGA Tour legends are unhappy that they've been cut out of the new equity program coming as part of the PGA Tour Enterprises company. 36 former players will receive money based on a "career points" system that prioritized PGA Tour wins and starts, leaving European stars like Tony Jacklin and Nick Faldo on the outside looking in. They are, predictably, unhappy and voiced their displeasure to Golfweek, leading to a lengthy discussion from Andy and Brendan.

Apple se enfrenta a la Unión Europea por una serie de normas que podrían cambiar su modelo de negocio. Hoy analizo lo que está en juego para el ecosistema de Apple.La estrategia de Apple: control del ecosistema y blindaje tecnológico Durante más de una década, Apple ha construido un ecosistema cerrado en el que hardware, software y servicios están profundamente integrados. Desde los chips propios hasta sistemas operativos exclusivos, todo está pensado para ofrecer una experiencia fluida… siempre que se utilicen productos de Apple. El emparejamiento automático entre AirPods y iPhones, la sincronización entre Apple Watch y iOS, o las funciones exclusivas de FaceTime y AirDrop, son algunos ejemplos.Las exigencias de la Unión Europea: más competencia, menos monopolio La Unión Europea ha comenzado a aplicar el Digital Markets Act (DMA), una normativa pensada para limitar el poder de las grandes tecnológicas y fomentar la interoperabilidad. En este contexto, Apple está obligada a permitir a otras marcas acceder a funcionalidades que hasta ahora eran exclusivas: desde emparejamientos por Bluetooth y notificaciones, hasta pasarelas de pago.El futuro del ecosistema Apple: ¿adaptarse o enfrentarse a sanciones? Apple tiene dos caminos por delante: adaptarse a las normativas europeas y abrir su sistema, o resistirse y enfrentarse a multas, sanciones y una posible pérdida de reputación.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we're back from a big family trip and giving our official Charleston recap: hotel ratings, travel highlights, and our new favorite parenting moment. OK, quick disclaimer if you're new here (hi!) — this episode is a little chaotic. We do start with a 5-minute deep dive into women's haircuts (??) and I was in kind of a flat mood for the first 15 minutes… but I came around and honestly this might be our most fun episode yet. (Also yes, we filmed in bed.) We talk about why Tate would rather play with an AirPods case than an actual toy, share updates from hotel life (Suite Life of Bubber), and fill you in on our wood floor drama back home. In Bicker of the Week, it's Booking.com vs. booking direct (and for the record, I think I'm up 2-0 on Harrison). In Things We DMed Each Other, we're talking landline phones for kids, ChatGPT brain scans (@Harrison should have been studied), and whether self-driving cars are actually safer than humans??? WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

Sometimes I have a free hour or two, and my favorite activity is to put in my AirPods, listen to a podcast, and walk. It feels so free and renewing, and sometimes it's where I come up with my best ideas for this podcast. Recently, I was listening to This American Life, Suddenly! A Mirror! and a story in it made me think - how many of us are living our lives defined by past experiences that have encoded us with SHAME? Too many, I presume. Join me for a conversation which may just wake you up to some automatic thought patterns and self-definitions that are no longer serving you. In your TMS recovery, it can make all the difference.

For 15 years, I gave myself every excuse not to run.Wrong shoes.Wrong gear.Too tired.Too cold.My feet hurt.You name it - I said it. And I believed it.Until one morning in Crete. I'm at this beautiful outdoor gym. No water. No socks. No Netflix. A total act of God that my AirPods even connected.I hit play and on comes Lynyrd Skynyrd. “Gimme Three Steps.”I start walking. Then jogging.Then running.And I couldn't stop. I didn't stop.The cadence. The breathing. The eye of the tiger look in my eye.WOW. I felt like myself again.That strong, focused, determined version of me I didn't even realize had gone missing.And once I found her - oh, she was BACK.And it felt so. damn. good.This episode is about that moment. The one where you remember who you are. The one where something clicks and suddenly, all the excuses lose their power.Because she's not gone, she's simply waiting. Waiting for you to reclaim that part of you.And this kind of reconnection is available to anyone.Including you.If there's a version of you that's been lost…If there's a dream or habit or instinct you've been putting off…It's time to start paying attention.The signs are there.It's up to you what you do with them.

We're more connected than ever — but is our tech making us healthier, or quietly harming us? In this episode of The Extra Scoop, we're joined by physicist and cancer researcher Dr David Robert Grimes to unpack what the science really says about technology and our health — from EMFs and mobile phones to AirPods, microwaves, AI, and the platforms that shape our daily lives. Dr Grimes explores why viral misinformation spreads so easily, how social media is rewiring our emotional responses, and why he compares today's tech giants to the tobacco industry. We also dig into the long-term risks of algorithm-driven platforms and ask whether fear around radiation and devices is rooted in real science — or modern health anxiety. This is a conversation that cuts through the noise, challenges fear-based narratives, and empowers you to think more critically in a digital-first world. In This Episode, We Cover: Whether phones, AirPods and microwaves pose any physical health risks What the research says about EMFs and 5G The rise of misinformation — and why social media may be the new tobacco The long-term impact of AI and algorithm-driven tech on learning and mental health The real cost of constant outrage and viral content Simple ways to spot health misinformation and protect your wellbeing online How to stay informed without falling into fear About the Guest:Dr David Robert Grimes is a physicist, cancer researcher and science writer with a PhD in medical physics. His work focuses on misinformation, public health and science communication. He writes for The Guardian, The Irish Times and BBC Future, and is the author of The Irrational Ape, which explores why we believe falsehoods — and how to think more clearly in a world of misinformation.

Apple spent 90 minutes talking about the future of its software, and we're pretty sure only said the word "Siri" once. Nilay and David are joined by The Verge's Victoria Song and Allison Johnson, both of whom were with Nilay at the keynote, to talk about all the news of the day. They talk about the Liquid Glass design language, and why Apple decided to redesign all its software. They talk about Spotlight on the Mac, the new multitasking features on the iPad, the typing indicators on the iPhone, Workout Buddy on the Watch, personas on the Vision Pro, and everything else that Apple announced — or, in a few cases, pointedly didn't announce — on stage. We're just starting to try out some of this software, and it's all likely to change a lot before it hits your devices this fall. And we'll have lots of thoughts along the way.
