I like to remind first time employees that professional jealousy fades. Eventually, you realise it’s not a competition. Just you, a golf ball, and a career-length crazy golf course. You keep swinging until retirement or death.

@manton Suggestion, on the docs I see 128kbps MP3 audio seems to be the extracted audio format for podcasts. If this was 128kbps Opus it would give better audio fidelity in comparison.
