NYC, here I come!! Podcast Movement, September 17-18, Terminal 5. Presenting "What Happened When Mexico's Largest Radio Network Paid Listeners to Engage With a Daily Podcast." That network is @grupoacir. Not a new format. Not a traditional podcast. A podcast that does things podcasts can't do. Nobody else has this. Twenty years of doing this from Mexico City and this one still feels like a big deal. Come find me! I'd rather argue than network. @PodcastMovement

La Paradoja de Digger: 1. Un magnate intenta controlar el relato de su desastre. 2. Iñarritu y Tom Cruise intentan controlar el relato de las críticas. 3. Y a los TRES, los esperó la realidad afuera de la sala. Dicho eso, me gustó mucho mucho.

Read this and tell me why we shouldn't unleash AI agents to solve the Middle East’s problems. I'm sure they’ll figure out how to achieve peace. (Although we should probably specify that getting rid of us doesn’t count). 80000hours.org/problem-profi…

Hace exactamente 3 años, a esta misma hora, salía en Shark Tank México. Al terminar mi intervención entré a Twitter a leer las reacciones y me encontré mi timeline hablando de alarmas en Israel y de ataques terroristas de Hamás. No dormí nada esa noche. Afortunadamente nadie de mi familia en Israel resultó afectado. Pero para mí, el 7 de octubre de 2023 fue mi filtro: desde ese día sé quiénes son mis amigos. AM ISRAEL HAI.

The best web3 onboarding may be no web3 onboarding at all. We did it. Ask me how.

Nothing beats sweeping the Red Sucks in the playoffs!

So, did I get this right? Military-trained-Israeli-zionist-jew-colonizers beat an Omani National using disproportionate force after they/them allegedly stabbed someone in the cockpit, and that the fight caused the plane to dive more than 10,000 feet, endangering the lives of non-Israeli children and passengers? Is this right?

I came back from @PodcastMovement energized. DIXO took the main stage, and people who attended the keynote told us we brought something truly unique. Thank you to everyone who came, tried the experience and shared their thoughts. I started DIXO in Mexico in 2005. People told me I was early. They were right. At the end of my keynote in New York, I said, "I think I'm early again." But this time, we have a working product, listeners who have used it, and conversations with people across the industry who believe the creator market is ready. What DIXO brings is audience intelligence. It helps podcasters and any content creator understand who is listening, why they listen, and which parts of their content capture the most attention. That understanding grows through participation. Audiences can answer questions, comment and share, earning rewards for getting involved. Creators learn from those actions and use that insight to make content that gives people more reasons to listen and return. It creates a virtuous circle: listeners are rewarded for participating, creators gain insight and reach, and the platform grows alongside them. I heard many conversations in New York about moving podcasting beyond downloads. We've spent years building toward that. Now I'm excited to see how much further we can take it with others who have helped shape this industry. If you make shows, build players, run a hosting company or work on open standards, I'd love to show you what we've built and explore what we could do together. Built from Mexico City.

Ya vieron la luna?

Really missed you NYC.

Rosh Hashanah, año nuevo judío, es el momento para reflexionar, volver a empezar y renovarse. ¡Shana Tova Umetuka! Que este post le llegue a todos los orgullosos 15M de judíos del mundo.

Worth staying up that late.

Qué nivel de tenis!

What a game. Thank you Big Foe. And thank you Michelsen. You will be back.

"Contrata @infinitum", decían, "Es el Checo, wey!", decían, "Dan excelente servicio", decían. "Van en Infinitum", decían. ¡Un dial-up de 1990 iba más rápido!
