Pods Like Us Chronicles — 5th July 2026

This week, Marv brings a re-recorded conversation, two guest-spot clips from other shows, and a full round-up of his week in podcasting.

He opens with an improved re-recording of his chat with Tobiloba Sulaiman, creator of AuTrans, a transcription tool built for African languages like Hausa, Pidgin, and Nigerian dialects. Tobiloba explains how the app grew out of his own struggle transcri...

On Thursday the 2nd of July 2026 Marv spoke with Ana for what was intended to be around five or six minutes for a segment of a Chronicles episode, but it lasted a little bit longer.

He decided instead of portioning off a five to six minute piece of the conversation to include it as a segment of the episode, that he would put out the longer discussion as what will now be episode one of season eleven!

In this bonus episode, host Marv c...

This week Marv did more podcast editing, started writing articles, and more, but as the image shows, has still not got the new show art.

Also this week he eats crow by apologising for a mistake the previous episode about listening times (thanks to Neal Veglio's Podmastery podcast), and received more inspiration from King Crimson's Robert Fripp. He also agreed with Dave Campbell's Substack article about getting more comfortable with ...

It's a little bit more produced than last week's first ever episode of the Chronicles episodes, so I would love to hear what people think of it.

Does it work with the different segments? Are the musical interludes okay, or would a bit of electronica, rock, or something else have worked better? Does it matter?

Technically there are six elements to this episode, and here they are;

In preparation for The Podcast Show in London, I got my portable handheld Tascam recorder out and Louise thought it would be a great idea to test it, so that I know what I'm doing when I get there.

At the beginning Louise is too close to the device, which is why you can hear the air coming out of Louise's mouth interfering with the w...
