Audio narration in Micro.blog manton.org

@manton Sounds fantastic. Looking forward to trying it out on one of my rare longer posts. 😁

@Miraz Thanks!

@manton How cool! I’ve been noodling on implementing something like this for a while. Ideally I could include auto-narration with my voice (via Personal Voice?) for every post, but swap out for a human recording for “special” posts. This gets the foundation right. Thanks for building it!

@manton This looks great, thanks for the new feature!

@manton That's awesome!

@manton What a fantastic feature. Looking forward to trying this out.

@manton whoa! thanks for adding more features. :)

@manton Looking forward to themes integrating this amazing feature.

@manton This is a great new feature. I can see a use for this for one of my non-profits.

@manton fun to see this. Some Airchat vibes. 😁

@manton hi Manton. Do I understand correctly that all audio narration audios will be mixed in with podcast audios, in the podcast RSS feed?

@manton That is wonderful. Absolutely love the feature. It'll be refreshing to hear people's voices along with the text that they'll write. :)

@aeryn That's correct. Do you think it should be an option? In my case, my blog is not normally a podcast so having a special feed is nice. But I can see how many that wouldn't always be good.

@manton @aeryn I'm assuming this only applies to the blog containing the narrated post, and wouldn't show up in a podcast feed if it was hosted separately?

@manton I’ve got 3 blogs on MB. One of which features a podcast. On that one I wouldn’t want short audios mixed in. But then I might not use the feature on that blog. On another I am thinking I might like to use the feature but not sure I want to syndicate it as a podcast specifically. I think I would like the idea of it being optional. But tbh not even sure how that would affect me because I don’t know yet 🤷‍♀️ sorry for vagueness

@pimoore I would like to know this too. @manton I think I’m slightly confused if I would want to mix short form audio with longform. And how potential listeners might respond. I like the idea of audio recordings in posts but not having them show up on a podcast app. Hmm. Not sure I really understand

@aeryn I should have clarified that each blog will have its own podcast feed, so if your podcast is already separate, you might not need to do anything except not link to the podcast feed for your other blogs. But we could also have a plug-in for better control over this.

@pimoore Yep, that’s right.

@manton brilliant I had done this type of thing a couple of times manually as I have premium account using the upload feature. Will be figuring out how to use proper feature more often for sure.
