So with the upcoming UK general election I got inspired to make a fun little toy:

https://github.com/twitchy-ears/2024-uk-general-election-bingo

Basically its some PHP that generates very simple/awful web pages with a CSV file as a data source (yeah it should be an SQLite DB or just statically generated data - I know) to act as random bingo cards to play along with the election, cross them off as they lose their seats :)

Okay, so, podcasts are great but sometimes I prefer to read instead of listen. 🤔

So what if – hear me out – there was a thing like podcasts, but for text! 🤯

It would still be distributed via RSS, you could still follow them and automagically pull them to your device. But instead of audio, there would be text. ✏️

👉 We could call them: textcasts!

And get this: I already have one! It was super easy to set up, actually. You can find it here:

@rysiek but would you include awkwardly worded sponsorship adverts as obvious inserts halfway through each "episode" (script?) of your textcast?

@rysiek I mean that's very effective but there's something I find charming about some of the absolutely cheesy wooden reading of adverts in podcasts and I was wondering how best to replicate this level of "Oh look I want to talk about my favourite <checks notes> toothpaste <checks notes> Colgate which <checks notes> always helps keep my teeth in good shape" its just like absolute chefs kiss levels of - someone paid for this? Does it work???
