[Speaker 0] Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is Mike, and
[Speaker 0] this is cup of Traverse City for November
[Speaker 0] twenty seventh twenty twenty five. And then it's
[Speaker 0] Thanksgiving, so hopefully, the snow isn't gonna slow
[Speaker 0] you down today and all that good stuff.
[Speaker 0] Anyway, this is a quick, another test episode
[Speaker 0] per se, but a little bit of listener
[Speaker 0] education. If you're listening to this on the
[Speaker 0] website or on a website, there's better ways
[Speaker 0] of getting it. If you scroll down on
[Speaker 0] the website oh, the website is cup of
[Speaker 0] travers city dot com or actually it forwards
[Speaker 0] to podcast dot show slash c o t
[Speaker 0] c. Either way, you get to the same
[Speaker 0] place and you'll notice there's a big thing
[Speaker 0] underneath the header that says follow this podcast.
[Speaker 0] Of course, there's Apple. There's Spotify. There's Android.
[Speaker 0] If you're on Android phone and have a
[Speaker 0] podcast app, hit that. There's a little email
[Speaker 0] sign. Now I don't want you to sign
[Speaker 0] up for an email list. This is not
[Speaker 0] an email list. This is a subscribe by
[Speaker 0] email. And what that does is it sends
[Speaker 0] you an email when I put out an
[Speaker 0] episode. And then it gives you a link
[Speaker 0] to the episode where you can play it
[Speaker 0] in your browser. You know, that's what a
[Speaker 0] lot of people do. They get into work.
[Speaker 0] They click on something and listen to it
[Speaker 0] while they're drinking their coffee. That's the, idea
[Speaker 0] here anyway. Of course, timing might be a
[Speaker 0] little weird because, you know, podcasting isn't instant.
[Speaker 0] I intend on putting these out somewhere around
[Speaker 0] eight o'clock in the morning, East Coast time,
[Speaker 0] Traverse City time. But, if it doesn't come
[Speaker 0] through right away, then yeah. Sorry about that.
[Speaker 0] Now if you want to and you wanna
[Speaker 0] experiment a little bit, there's a a thing
[Speaker 0] out there called pod ping, and, you know,
[Speaker 0] don't need to know that. But if you
[Speaker 0] scroll all the way to the bottom of
[Speaker 0] the website at, cup of travers city dot
[Speaker 0] com, and you'll see there's a couple links
[Speaker 0] there. One's for my Mike Dell's world show,
[Speaker 0] which I'm sure some of you are familiar
[Speaker 0] with. That's my regular show that I do
[Speaker 0] once in a while. And then, below that's
[Speaker 0] another link to modern podcast apps. And if
[Speaker 0] you use any of these apps, it will
[Speaker 0] instantly or nearly instantly update, using a a
[Speaker 0] thing called pod ping. Make sure pod ping
[Speaker 0] is in, well, I guess you don't have
[Speaker 0] to. The ones I recommend if you're on
[Speaker 0] Android is podcast guru. If you're on iOS,
[Speaker 0] you know, iPhone, Podverse is good. Castomatic is
[Speaker 0] good. Void fountain, it's a little weird. Podcast
[Speaker 0] addict, for Android is pretty good, but this
[Speaker 0] is a list of apps that will update
[Speaker 0] nearly instantly. Now if you scroll way down
[Speaker 0] towards the bottom, you'll see that Apple is
[Speaker 0] listed here somewhere. Oh, it actually isn't that
[Speaker 0] far away. But Apple generally doesn't update instantly.
[Speaker 0] Although the one I put out yesterday did
[Speaker 0] instantly update on Apple. So maybe they're using
[Speaker 0] Podpeng and not telling us. But, anyway, you
[Speaker 0] know, subscribe, follow, you know, subscribe is it
[Speaker 0] was the word prior to everybody saying follow.
[Speaker 0] But, you know, no no money involved. Just,
[Speaker 0] subscribe or follow the show on whatever your
[Speaker 0] app of choice is, but some of them
[Speaker 0] will update quicker than others. Spotify takes a
[Speaker 0] while. In fact, you let's see here. It's
[Speaker 0] probably not even updated yet. Well, unless you're
[Speaker 0] listening to it on it. But, anyway, Spotify
[Speaker 0] does take a little bit longer. Apple's pretty
[Speaker 0] quick now. I I don't know if that's
[Speaker 0] gonna be the case all the time, but
[Speaker 0] I do know that, you know, fountain or
[Speaker 0] not fountain well, fountain will too, but, you
[Speaker 0] know, Podverse, Podcast Guru, Cast o Matic, you
[Speaker 0] know, those those three are pretty good, and
[Speaker 0] podcast addict, if you're on the Android platform,
[Speaker 0] is pretty good to update quickly. And, you
[Speaker 0] know, something like this, little, news and local
[Speaker 0] information, we call this hyperlocal. And, again, I
[Speaker 0] appreciate you listening and, pass the word. You
[Speaker 0] know, once I get going on this, it'll
[Speaker 0] be, you know, daily and be some, you
[Speaker 0] know, actionable things. Of course, I'm gonna cover
[Speaker 0] the weather, cover some, you know, cover some
[Speaker 0] of the bigger news stories or give my
[Speaker 0] opinion about something or maybe just something fun
[Speaker 0] to do. Haven't really worked out the format
[Speaker 0] yet, but, wanna keep it under five minutes.
[Speaker 0] Although I've gone over five minutes on this
[Speaker 0] one, so we'll call this one an episode.
[Speaker 0] And, we'll catch you on Monday, December first
[Speaker 0] twenty twenty five for the first official episode
