> For some reason I tend to gravitate towards jobs where I'm at my best when nobody knows I did anything at all.

Yes, this is perfectly said. It's exactly how I feel and what I strive for. I think most folks would be surprised if they listened to a before / after even if all that was done was occasionally remove filler content and mouth noises. It's like that one business analogy iceberg picture with "success" being the 10% that's above water and the other 90% is buried with all sorts of things you never hear about.

> Some of this is selfishly motivated btw, I've been following your podcast since the spring and don't want it to go offline lol

That really means a lot and I'm happy to hear you like the show but unless a big pile of money falls from the sky to afford hiring a dedicated editor and human reviewed transcripts then I have to pull the plug. I've already been feeling this way for 3-4 months but tried to power through it. I've reached the point of feeling resentment and disgust just thinking about opening my editing tool of choice and it's taking its toll. It sucks because I would love to record the show until the day I die but these are the cards I'm dealt and I have to choose sanity over suffering at this point.

There's no middle ground due to the last half of my previous reply.

Sorry to hear that man. You did it once, quite well in fact, so you could always do it again if the opportunity strikes. Hopefully we'll figure out a way to make it simpler for this kind of thing to sustain itself. Until then I'm glad there's no ambiguity at the number one priority, health and well being.

It's all good. That feeling was very much compartmentalized to just the editing bits of the podcast. Maybe one day it'll work its way out to being doable.

I posted a new episode today since I still have 6 unedited episodes left, I figured I would release them once a month until they run out. I'll also be posting a "what's happening with the podcast?" video on YouTube tomorrow.
