00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Everybody, let's welcome Abigail.

00:07.000 --> 00:08.000
Hi.

00:08.000 --> 00:10.000
Talking about storytelling.

00:10.000 --> 00:11.000
Storytelling.

00:11.000 --> 00:13.000
Welcome.

00:13.000 --> 00:14.000
Yeah.

00:14.000 --> 00:15.000
And thank you all so much.

00:15.000 --> 00:16.000
Welcome to our talk.

00:16.000 --> 00:18.000
And it is such an honor to be here.

00:18.000 --> 00:20.000
So thank you so much to all the organizers.

00:20.000 --> 00:21.000
Everything that's going on.

00:21.000 --> 00:22.000
This is where I stand.

00:22.000 --> 00:23.000
Thank you.

00:23.000 --> 00:24.000
It's been great.

00:24.000 --> 00:27.000
And you might notice someone's missing from up here.

00:27.000 --> 00:30.000
And is here in spirit actually sounds like he died.

00:30.000 --> 00:31.000
He's very much alive.

00:31.000 --> 00:35.000
And he's here virtually in Matrix answering questions.

00:35.000 --> 00:41.000
So actually during this talk, if you want to ask questions while I'm speaking, you can type it in Matrix.

00:41.000 --> 00:42.000
And Arvin will answer it.

00:42.000 --> 00:46.000
Then at the end, I'll actually open the Matrix and see what questions happened.

00:46.000 --> 00:48.000
Answer, read out his response.

00:48.000 --> 00:49.000
So he's here.

00:49.000 --> 00:50.000
He's presenting with me.

00:50.000 --> 00:54.000
I hope it wasn't too much false advertising with him as a co presenter.

00:54.000 --> 00:55.000
But he's here.

00:55.000 --> 00:58.000
So we miss you, Arvin.

00:58.000 --> 01:04.000
So to kick us off, I spent years working on software that really transformed an entire field of research.

01:04.000 --> 01:09.000
Seattle against the researchers is the worm that's crawling around behind me.

01:09.000 --> 01:11.000
Thousands of them were using worm base.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
And they used this to study, yeah, it's a central data repository for a Seattle against research.

01:15.000 --> 01:20.000
And people would regularly tell me that their work wouldn't exist without worm base.

01:20.000 --> 01:23.000
But when it came time for academic recognition,

01:23.000 --> 01:25.000
it was not there.

01:25.000 --> 01:28.000
The impact of the software was undeniable.

01:28.000 --> 01:31.000
But the system didn't really see that or recognize it.

01:31.000 --> 01:33.000
And I've heard the story again and again for researchers.

01:33.000 --> 01:35.000
I'm sure it's a common story that many of you have heard.

01:35.000 --> 01:44.000
And that's, there's this big disconnect between the impact of the open source software that powers research and the system that's doing recognition.

01:44.000 --> 01:48.000
So worm base does publish papers every release, but it would be such a big lift.

01:48.000 --> 01:52.000
And compared to the number of people that were using it, very few are actually citing it.

01:52.000 --> 01:59.000
So because of problems like this, that's exactly why initiatives like the journal of open source software exist.

01:59.000 --> 02:04.000
Arvin founded this, my lovely virtual presenter.

02:04.000 --> 02:09.000
And really the core idea is to make software papers as easy as possible to write.

02:09.000 --> 02:13.000
So if you have a repository that has a readme, it's really well documented.

02:13.000 --> 02:16.000
It shouldn't take more than an hour to put together submission.

02:16.000 --> 02:19.000
And then once it's there, the reviews, it all happens on GitHub.

02:19.000 --> 02:22.000
So it's really made for developers to make it easy to publish papers.

02:22.000 --> 02:29.000
So you're not going through the whole formatting process or this rigorous review stuff for journals that often don't accept software papers.

02:29.000 --> 02:32.000
So this is a nice easy way to get your paper published.

02:32.000 --> 02:38.000
And then the primary purpose of a jazz paper is to enable citation credit to be given to authors of research software.

02:38.000 --> 02:45.000
And we do have dead cats in the room when the editor is so if you have jazz questions, feel free to ask Dan.

02:45.000 --> 02:48.000
Or in matrix, Arvin will also answer those.

02:48.000 --> 02:51.000
And I was one of the founding editors for jazz.

02:51.000 --> 02:57.000
And the big reason I came back into jazz classes because it's, I just loved how it worked.

02:57.000 --> 02:59.000
It works like an open source project.

02:59.000 --> 03:03.000
So the reviews, use GitHub notification to invite reviewers.

03:03.000 --> 03:04.000
It all happens in the open.

03:04.000 --> 03:08.000
It's all volunteer contributions from the editors and the reviewers.

03:08.000 --> 03:12.000
It's a nice way to work openly and a problem that affects this entire community.

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
There's a lot of chat ops also.

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
It's a very open source.

03:17.000 --> 03:20.000
So the code is MIT license.

03:20.000 --> 03:23.000
So you can see that on the open journals repo or going GitHub.

03:23.000 --> 03:27.000
The papers themselves are CC by license with the author retains the copyright.

03:27.000 --> 03:31.000
And over the past eight years there's been about 3000 papers published.

03:31.000 --> 03:33.000
So it's a lot of stories.

03:33.000 --> 03:36.000
And today I am talking primarily about jazz cast.

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
This wasn't experiment for both Arvin and myself.

03:38.000 --> 03:43.000
So yeah, thousands of papers, thousands of authors each one is a story waiting to be told.

03:43.000 --> 03:44.000
So you publish a podcast.

03:44.000 --> 03:47.000
You can get it in multiple versions.

03:47.000 --> 03:51.000
We have video versions, audio versions on your favorite podcast app.

03:51.000 --> 03:54.000
And just a recap season one.

03:54.000 --> 03:56.000
We had 20 episodes.

03:56.000 --> 03:59.000
And here we focused mainly on the paper.

03:59.000 --> 04:02.000
So we'd ask authors questions about the software that they wrote.

04:03.000 --> 04:07.000
Background of the author is why they wrote the software where they knew to open source.

04:07.000 --> 04:10.000
Which challenges they face, why they decided to publish in jazz.

04:10.000 --> 04:15.000
How that experience was and how people can get involved on their software.

04:15.000 --> 04:18.000
Because most of these were really looking at contributors.

04:18.000 --> 04:21.000
Really looking to build a community of contributors on their software.

04:21.000 --> 04:25.000
And as you're preparing this Arvin actually asked me, was it hard to find guests?

04:25.000 --> 04:26.000
It was actually really easy.

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
There's so many great papers in jazz.

04:28.000 --> 04:31.000
We had above a 50% guest invitation acceptance rate.

04:31.000 --> 04:35.000
I actually don't know if that's normal for podcasts.

04:35.000 --> 04:38.000
It was great for me.

04:38.000 --> 04:42.000
So every month I would just look at the papers that were published over the past month

04:42.000 --> 04:44.000
and then invite a handful of them.

04:44.000 --> 04:47.000
And that was enough to keep going with the podcast.

04:47.000 --> 04:50.000
And yeah, there's a great set of stories here.

04:50.000 --> 04:52.000
And it was a great time.

04:52.000 --> 04:56.000
So what did we learn from this experiment with storytelling?

04:57.000 --> 05:00.000
And first lesson is that jazz cast really helped authors get recognition.

05:00.000 --> 05:05.000
So most of the authors said that having an episode really helped their career.

05:05.000 --> 05:09.000
And I love this quote from one of the guests.

05:09.000 --> 05:13.000
It increased the promotion of our open source code by providing a different channel.

05:13.000 --> 05:15.000
Two conferences or papers.

05:15.000 --> 05:18.000
One other person mentioned that it was part of their annual review.

05:18.000 --> 05:23.000
So it was really nice, like people wanted this kind of recognition on a podcast.

05:24.000 --> 05:29.000
So that was great. And it was a bit of a surprise to us seeing this survey result.

05:29.000 --> 05:34.000
On the next one, I guess really appreciated this opportunity to discuss their research and have this platform.

05:34.000 --> 05:37.000
So I like this quote from one of the guests.

05:37.000 --> 05:39.000
And it was fun idea.

05:39.000 --> 05:42.000
I absolutely found the projects featured very interesting.

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
And the people very much like minded.

05:44.000 --> 05:46.000
I felt that many projects share the heroes journey.

05:46.000 --> 05:49.000
Perhaps being all together can foster more collaboration.

05:49.000 --> 05:53.000
Or spark new ideas with jazz cast as the neighbor for such spark.

05:53.000 --> 05:57.000
So there's this a theme that we saw with the episodes.

05:57.000 --> 06:00.000
It can be quite lonely writing software in this research space.

06:00.000 --> 06:03.000
Oftentimes you feel like you're doing this alone or in a bit of an island.

06:03.000 --> 06:07.000
So could we be more of that glue and bring these people together?

06:07.000 --> 06:09.000
People really wanted that.

06:09.000 --> 06:12.000
And they liked the experience of having a platform to share their research.

06:12.000 --> 06:16.000
So this question is a little bit different than what we're talking about.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
But they had a great experience going on there.

06:19.000 --> 06:20.000
They wanted to come on.

06:20.000 --> 06:22.000
They wanted to talk about their research.

06:22.000 --> 06:26.000
And then here podcasting is a learning curve.

06:26.000 --> 06:28.000
I learned a lot going through this.

06:28.000 --> 06:31.000
So first, the great conversation takes prep.

06:31.000 --> 06:34.000
We would share the questions with authors beforehand.

06:34.000 --> 06:36.000
And they really appreciated that.

06:36.000 --> 06:37.000
So they knew what to expect.

06:37.000 --> 06:42.000
But I will say we started asking the same questions for every paper.

06:42.000 --> 06:46.000
It's just got like a little bit stale for us as hosts.

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
We're asking the same questions again and again.

06:48.000 --> 06:52.000
So we're trying to find that balance between how much prep to have,

06:52.000 --> 06:54.000
while still having an engaging conversation.

06:54.000 --> 06:58.000
We just don't hear the same answers as the same questions every single time.

06:58.000 --> 07:03.000
Spending ten, five to ten minutes just chatting beforehand is really great.

07:03.000 --> 07:06.000
Most of these people is the first time they're on a podcast.

07:06.000 --> 07:09.000
So when they join, I'd make sure that the recording wasn't on.

07:09.000 --> 07:12.000
And I'd explicitly say, hey, we're not recording right now.

07:12.000 --> 07:15.000
So we just get to chat, get to know them, build some report.

07:15.000 --> 07:20.000
And people really enjoyed that so that they didn't feel like jumping straight

07:20.000 --> 07:21.000
into being recorded.

07:21.000 --> 07:24.000
They have to be on right away.

07:24.000 --> 07:27.000
And yes, some authors were more comfortable explaining the work

07:27.000 --> 07:28.000
than others.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
So the prep was really helpful with that.

07:30.000 --> 07:33.000
For the next one, editing, shapes experience.

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
I didn't think it was a lot of hard work I learned.

07:36.000 --> 07:37.000
I don't know if anyone else here.

07:37.000 --> 07:41.000
I know the third one's about time.

07:41.000 --> 07:46.000
But the sensor recording on Zoom and then later removed to squad cast.

07:46.000 --> 07:48.000
Which is another platform for recording.

07:48.000 --> 07:50.000
There was always a little bit of a leg.

07:50.000 --> 07:53.000
And it was difficult to just release the conversation as is.

07:53.000 --> 07:55.000
So you had to do a little bit of editing.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.000
And I tracked a streamline that editing as much as I could.

07:57.000 --> 08:01.000
But it still took me multiple days to get one episode out.

08:01.000 --> 08:02.000
And related to that.

08:02.000 --> 08:05.000
So yeah, podcasting makes takes more time than you think.

08:05.000 --> 08:08.000
We started this podcast when I was on parental leave.

08:08.000 --> 08:11.000
This was my fun like parental leave project.

08:11.000 --> 08:13.000
I'm in Canada.

08:13.000 --> 08:14.000
So you get a year.

08:14.000 --> 08:17.000
So I had time to the baby.

08:17.000 --> 08:21.000
But a lot of this time you're recording while the baby was napping.

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
So it's a little bit suspenseful.

08:23.000 --> 08:25.000
Like is the baby going to wake up before we finish recording?

08:25.000 --> 08:26.000
I don't know.

08:26.000 --> 08:28.000
Usually she kept slept sleeping.

08:28.000 --> 08:30.000
And my husband was there to help.

08:30.000 --> 08:33.000
But it was, yeah, it was quite time constrained.

08:33.000 --> 08:36.000
And now that I'm back on work, we're even more time constrained.

08:36.000 --> 08:40.000
And editing an episode, I found, because I would do it while she was sleeping,

08:40.000 --> 08:42.000
would take like three days.

08:42.000 --> 08:45.000
Even if I had, like, AI do a first pass.

08:45.000 --> 08:47.000
It was still quite a lot of work.

08:47.000 --> 08:50.000
But the part, oh, I forgot to mention it with the editing piece.

08:50.000 --> 08:52.000
The shorts did really, really well.

08:52.000 --> 08:55.000
So we'd normally have a couple hundred listeners, two to three,

08:55.000 --> 08:57.000
between all of our different platforms.

08:57.000 --> 09:01.000
But our shorts would get, like, sometimes thousands of views

09:01.000 --> 09:03.000
that would drive people to that episode.

09:03.000 --> 09:07.000
So I think a learning there was really, like, maybe just make sure

09:07.000 --> 09:09.000
it's, you don't have to edit the whole conversation.

09:09.000 --> 09:11.000
But we'll see.

09:11.000 --> 09:15.000
And we did streamline what we did quite a bit over time.

09:15.000 --> 09:18.000
So things like making sure we had links for recording ready,

09:18.000 --> 09:22.000
getting an intake form that would just automate a lot of things.

09:22.000 --> 09:25.000
But, yeah, we learned a lot there.

09:25.000 --> 09:29.000
So I really love this quote.

09:29.000 --> 09:33.000
It was, yeah, this is my favorite quote from one of our previous guests.

09:33.000 --> 09:36.000
They said there were notice by management, the annual review.

09:36.000 --> 09:39.000
There are notice by international collaborators.

09:39.000 --> 09:43.000
So imagine if every researcher had access to platforms that amplify

09:43.000 --> 09:44.000
their work like this.

09:44.000 --> 09:47.000
Help them gain recognition, form your collaborations,

09:47.000 --> 09:49.000
further their career.

09:49.000 --> 09:52.000
So for this next part, we'll season two.

09:52.000 --> 09:55.000
We're really thinking about how can we iterate on this work

09:55.000 --> 09:56.000
so that we can keep doing this.

09:56.000 --> 10:01.000
We can keep giving this platform to people.

10:01.000 --> 10:03.000
So what's next?

10:03.000 --> 10:05.000
We're just cast season two.

10:05.000 --> 10:07.000
So first up, I'll loosen the format.

10:07.000 --> 10:10.000
So you're not just asking the exact same questions every time.

10:10.000 --> 10:14.000
And maybe switching to segments rather than the same questions.

10:14.000 --> 10:18.000
So that it still helps minimize prep because we found the regularity

10:18.000 --> 10:20.000
helped us keep prep to minimum.

10:20.000 --> 10:24.000
But still keep things as exciting as possible.

10:25.000 --> 10:28.000
Next, explore collaborating.

10:28.000 --> 10:31.000
Collaborations, bringing diverse voices and expertise.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.000
So like when the quotes we had earlier,

10:34.000 --> 10:36.000
could we have more of a panel come on?

10:36.000 --> 10:38.000
Have people talk to each other there?

10:38.000 --> 10:39.000
That might be interesting.

10:39.000 --> 10:41.000
And even taking lessons from Joss,

10:41.000 --> 10:43.000
can we work more like an open source project?

10:43.000 --> 10:46.000
Can other people come on and help us with different aspects

10:46.000 --> 10:48.000
of producing this podcast?

10:48.000 --> 10:49.000
Since this was an experiment,

10:49.000 --> 10:51.000
while I was on leave, a lot of it was done by myself and

10:51.000 --> 10:53.000
the first season, but the second season,

10:53.000 --> 10:56.000
like how can we bring others in and work a bit more openly?

10:56.000 --> 10:59.000
And then the third one, keeping it sustainable.

10:59.000 --> 11:01.000
So how can we keep this fun and lightweight

11:01.000 --> 11:04.000
since I'm no longer in that leave?

11:04.000 --> 11:06.000
And I think what we've landed on is

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
we won't be editing the conversation.

11:08.000 --> 11:10.000
It'll be more of a live stream situation.

11:10.000 --> 11:11.000
But we'll edit shorts.

11:11.000 --> 11:13.000
I think we've got a lot of value in having shorts

11:13.000 --> 11:14.000
just to share around.

11:14.000 --> 11:19.000
So if any of you are considering podcasting or just any media,

11:20.000 --> 11:23.000
long versions are okay, but the shorts,

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
think do really well.

11:25.000 --> 11:28.000
So how can you help?

11:28.000 --> 11:31.000
So you can help us shape season two.

11:31.000 --> 11:33.000
So you do have a listener survey up here.

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
So even if you haven't listened to the podcast,

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
if you're at all interested in participating,

11:37.000 --> 11:39.000
there's a question that asks about that

11:39.000 --> 11:41.000
and you can put in your contact information.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
So we'd love to help build season two with you

11:43.000 --> 11:46.000
if you want to be on the podcast or maybe you really like editing,

11:47.000 --> 11:48.000
editing?

11:48.000 --> 11:49.000
Yeah?

11:49.000 --> 11:52.000
That would be very helpful for me.

11:52.000 --> 11:55.000
You can get involved with Joss.

11:55.000 --> 11:57.000
You can sign up to be a reviewer.

11:57.000 --> 11:58.000
There are always looking for reviewers.

11:58.000 --> 12:00.000
They regularly have calls for new editors.

12:00.000 --> 12:02.000
So you can pay attention to that.

12:02.000 --> 12:04.000
Or you can publish your research software.

12:04.000 --> 12:07.000
It takes less than an hour if you have good documentation.

12:07.000 --> 12:08.000
Nice read me.

12:08.000 --> 12:11.000
And finally, a support opensource and research site

12:11.000 --> 12:12.000
software that you use.

12:12.000 --> 12:15.000
Support maintainers, push recognition.

12:15.000 --> 12:18.000
I know many of you in this room are already doing those things.

12:18.000 --> 12:21.000
So I did want to make lots of time for a Q&A

12:21.000 --> 12:24.000
so that we can get orphans waste there.

12:24.000 --> 12:26.000
But yeah, that's all I have for this part of the talk.

12:26.000 --> 12:28.000
Thank you, everyone.

12:28.000 --> 12:29.000
Thank you.

12:29.000 --> 12:34.000
And I'll open up.

12:34.000 --> 12:39.000
Okay, I don't think.

12:39.000 --> 12:43.000
Oh, did my matrix go over here?

12:44.000 --> 12:47.000
We can see if there's questions in the room.

12:47.000 --> 12:52.000
Why isn't my browser moving to this side?

12:52.000 --> 12:53.000
No.

12:53.000 --> 12:55.000
Are you in presentation on here?

12:55.000 --> 12:57.000
No, it's not.

12:57.000 --> 12:59.000
I don't know what he did.

12:59.000 --> 13:00.000
What if I do this?

13:00.000 --> 13:01.000
I don't know.

13:01.000 --> 13:02.000
I don't know.

13:02.000 --> 13:03.000
It's okay.

13:03.000 --> 13:05.000
Are there questions in the matrix?

13:05.000 --> 13:06.000
Okay.

13:06.000 --> 13:07.000
It's just, oh yeah, I know.

13:07.000 --> 13:09.000
It's just a little green button.

13:09.000 --> 13:11.000
Oh, that's what it is.

13:12.000 --> 13:13.000
Yeah, yeah.

13:13.000 --> 13:15.000
I know who computers were.

13:15.000 --> 13:16.000
Yes, they are.

13:16.000 --> 13:17.000
Okay.

13:17.000 --> 13:19.000
We will ask questions in the room.

13:19.000 --> 13:20.000
I do want to.

13:20.000 --> 13:21.000
There we go.

13:21.000 --> 13:22.000
Okay.

13:22.000 --> 13:23.000
Now I can drag.

13:23.000 --> 13:25.000
This over.

13:25.000 --> 13:26.000
Okay.

13:26.000 --> 13:27.000
Yeah.

13:27.000 --> 13:28.000
So it's a lot of stuff.

13:28.000 --> 13:29.000
So it's software.

13:29.000 --> 13:30.000
Please do.

13:30.000 --> 13:32.000
There is someone in the room typing.

13:32.000 --> 13:33.000
All right.

13:33.000 --> 13:34.000
It's right there.

13:34.000 --> 13:35.000
Sorry.

13:35.000 --> 13:36.000
Cool.

13:36.000 --> 13:37.000
Questions in the room.

13:37.000 --> 13:38.000
Oh, hey.

13:39.000 --> 13:40.000
Really, really cool.

13:40.000 --> 13:41.000
As usual.

13:41.000 --> 13:42.000
I think.

13:42.000 --> 13:43.000
I.

13:43.000 --> 13:44.000
I don't publish software.

13:44.000 --> 13:45.000
I don't.

13:45.000 --> 13:46.000
They're not software.

13:46.000 --> 13:48.000
And I listen to our questions.

13:48.000 --> 13:49.000
If you're day.

13:49.000 --> 13:50.000
Uh, to stay in OSS.

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
It seems like a lot of time.

13:52.000 --> 13:53.000
We're well started.

13:53.000 --> 13:54.000
So divided.

13:54.000 --> 13:55.000
Because we're talking about.

13:55.000 --> 13:56.000
We're sorry.

13:56.000 --> 13:57.000
We're talking about.

13:57.000 --> 13:58.000
We're talking about.

13:58.000 --> 13:59.000
We're trying to talk about.

13:59.000 --> 14:00.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:00.000 --> 14:01.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:01.000 --> 14:03.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:03.000 --> 14:04.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:04.000 --> 14:06.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:06.000 --> 14:07.000
We're trying to talk about.

14:07.000 --> 14:08.000
Coming.

14:08.000 --> 14:09.000
Yeah.

14:09.000 --> 14:10.000
Yeah.

14:10.000 --> 14:11.000
Yeah.

14:11.000 --> 14:12.000
All right.

14:12.000 --> 14:13.000
The idea.

14:13.000 --> 14:14.000
So the question was.

14:14.000 --> 14:16.000
Um, would you consider a crossover.

14:16.000 --> 14:17.000
Episode.

14:17.000 --> 14:19.000
Maybe between sustain OSS and the dress cast.

14:19.000 --> 14:20.000
Uh, Phil, so you don't know.

14:20.000 --> 14:22.000
I am the host on both of those podcasts.

14:22.000 --> 14:26.000
So it would be super easy for me to be on both.

14:26.000 --> 14:27.000
But I agree with you.

14:27.000 --> 14:30.000
Sometimes we have these open source conversations in a bit of a bubble.

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
And these open science conversations elsewhere.

14:32.000 --> 14:33.000
And we definitely need more collaboration.

14:33.000 --> 14:35.000
I was like, yeah, that's definitely something we're thinking about.

14:35.000 --> 14:40.000
Sounds like a good plan.

14:40.000 --> 14:41.000
So it's arvin.

14:41.000 --> 14:44.000
He's definitely here.

14:44.000 --> 14:46.000
There's a question.

14:46.000 --> 14:47.000
Yeah.

14:47.000 --> 14:48.000
Okay.

14:48.000 --> 14:53.000
So the things that you are often interviewing on topics that maybe you were new to.

14:53.000 --> 14:54.000
Yes.

14:54.000 --> 14:55.000
What thing?

14:55.000 --> 14:56.000
I don't know.

14:56.000 --> 15:00.000
How did you navigate or like, can say, learn to obviously not be an expert.

15:00.000 --> 15:03.000
Like, interview them in a way that's, yeah.

15:03.000 --> 15:04.000
Yeah.

15:04.000 --> 15:11.000
So the question was, um, so we're often interviewing people in topics that we're new to.

15:11.000 --> 15:12.000
And it feels that we're new to.

15:12.000 --> 15:13.000
So any tips there?

15:13.000 --> 15:15.000
I'd say I approach it with curiosity.

15:15.000 --> 15:18.000
I think sometimes I would.

15:18.000 --> 15:21.000
I would skim over something if I didn't understand it.

15:21.000 --> 15:25.000
But then I think that didn't lead to, as like, deep of a conversation.

15:25.000 --> 15:29.000
So being curious and like ask, like, when you're unsure, do ask questions.

15:29.000 --> 15:31.000
I think that makes sure you understand what's going on.

15:31.000 --> 15:33.000
And I think that really helps.

15:33.000 --> 15:34.000
Yeah.

15:34.000 --> 15:37.000
That really helps the conversation.

15:37.000 --> 15:38.000
Um, oh, yeah.

15:38.000 --> 15:41.000
And just requires the paper to be written for a generalist audience, which definitely helps.

15:41.000 --> 15:42.000
So yeah.

15:42.000 --> 15:43.000
I definitely agree.

15:43.000 --> 15:44.000
So much so there.

15:44.000 --> 15:45.000
Thanks.

15:45.000 --> 15:46.000
There.

15:46.000 --> 15:49.000
I really interested in the story telling.

15:49.000 --> 15:50.000
Yeah.

15:50.000 --> 15:51.000
Yeah.

15:51.000 --> 15:55.000
Did the researchers define, like, storytelling?

15:55.000 --> 15:57.000
How did they define storytelling?

15:57.000 --> 16:01.000
What was their journey of what, like, food storytelling was maybe before.

16:01.000 --> 16:03.000
So life after the process.

16:03.000 --> 16:04.000
Right.

16:04.000 --> 16:05.000
Yeah.

16:05.000 --> 16:07.000
So did the researchers, like, how did the researchers define storytelling?

16:07.000 --> 16:08.000
What was their journey with it?

16:08.000 --> 16:14.000
I think we tried to push them towards storytelling with our standard questions, which is what got a little bit boring.

16:14.000 --> 16:16.000
Fitting everyone in that same story.

16:16.000 --> 16:19.000
And I think one of the quotes even said, like, everyone's had this heroes journey.

16:19.000 --> 16:22.000
It's like, what was your approach to this?

16:22.000 --> 16:26.000
Um, but I don't want to lose that necessarily with them.

16:26.000 --> 16:27.000
With the season two.

16:27.000 --> 16:29.000
So this is tricky.

16:29.000 --> 16:30.000
Yeah.

16:30.000 --> 16:34.000
So we pushed them towards that, because we wanted to share first origin story.

16:34.000 --> 16:35.000
Why did you start this?

16:35.000 --> 16:38.000
And, like, your purpose in mission with this?

16:38.000 --> 16:40.000
And the next what struggles did you face?

16:40.000 --> 16:42.000
Like, this is what you're trying to get to.

16:42.000 --> 16:43.000
What stopped you?

16:43.000 --> 16:47.000
And then we closed with, like, how can others get involved?

16:47.000 --> 16:48.000
So other people came join.

16:48.000 --> 16:52.000
So we're sort of going through that arc, which I thought was nice.

16:52.000 --> 16:55.000
Um, and I think we can probably still keep, like, an arc going.

16:55.000 --> 17:00.000
But we've probably shouldn't ask the exact same question every single time.

17:00.000 --> 17:01.000
Yeah.

17:01.000 --> 17:03.000
Did Arvin say what Abby said?

17:03.000 --> 17:05.000
Thanks, Arvin.

17:05.000 --> 17:07.000
Yeah, Dan.

17:07.000 --> 17:08.000
Yeah.

17:08.000 --> 17:10.000
Can you um, can you define shorts?

17:10.000 --> 17:11.000
Oh, yeah.

17:11.000 --> 17:12.000
Oh, yeah.

17:12.000 --> 17:15.000
So a little bit about how you chose what would be in them?

17:15.000 --> 17:16.000
Yeah.

17:16.000 --> 17:18.000
So um, can you define shorts?

17:18.000 --> 17:22.000
And talk about what they're, what's, how will you decide what was in them?

17:22.000 --> 17:24.000
I'm a little jet lagged everyone.

17:24.000 --> 17:26.000
So sorry.

17:26.000 --> 17:30.000
Um, so on YouTube, there's a shorts part of it.

17:30.000 --> 17:32.000
I'm not a YouTubers.

17:32.000 --> 17:33.000
Okay.

17:33.000 --> 17:35.000
So there's a regular videos, but then shorts.

17:35.000 --> 17:38.000
On YouTube at least, they have to be less than a minute long.

17:38.000 --> 17:43.000
And we, um, I used to template that would also have the captions up.

17:43.000 --> 17:46.000
So if we had a little clip that was less than a minute long.

17:46.000 --> 17:48.000
So it's nice and tight.

17:48.000 --> 17:49.000
It had captions on.

17:49.000 --> 17:53.000
And it was like an end credit with like the episode number and title.

17:53.000 --> 17:55.000
And just cask is where you find it.

17:55.000 --> 17:58.000
Um, we were able to share that across platform.

17:58.000 --> 18:00.000
So we shared in different parts of social.

18:00.000 --> 18:04.000
And a lot of people tell me like, oh, like you popped up in my feed or I saw this.

18:04.000 --> 18:05.000
I saw that.

18:05.000 --> 18:08.000
We get a lot of traction that way, but they maybe didn't actually listen to the episode.

18:08.000 --> 18:12.000
But it did create a really big funnel for people who wanted to go and listen to that episode.

18:12.000 --> 18:14.000
How did we decide what goes in there?

18:14.000 --> 18:16.000
Um, I was using Descript for editing.

18:16.000 --> 18:19.000
I was thinking about doing more tooling talking about tooling.

18:19.000 --> 18:24.000
But I wasn't sure if this audience would want to hear like which platforms are using.

18:24.000 --> 18:26.000
But Q and A is why we have this.

18:26.000 --> 18:30.000
Um, I'm using Descript which transcribes the video.

18:30.000 --> 18:37.000
Um, but they also have tools where you can say like select five engaging clips that are about a minute long.

18:37.000 --> 18:39.000
And it would auto generate some.

18:39.000 --> 18:42.000
And then I can decide which one I wanted to pick.

18:42.000 --> 18:44.000
Or if I didn't like it, I'd pick my own.

18:44.000 --> 18:45.000
Um, but I would try.

18:45.000 --> 18:50.000
I think the prompt I use is like, um, a clip where all of us were speaking.

18:50.000 --> 18:53.000
And maybe something funny was happening.

18:53.000 --> 18:59.000
And sometimes it was that or sometimes it's something more serious when they're talking about their research and why they're doing it.

18:59.000 --> 19:04.000
Um, but I did find because I was sharing a lot of these clips on my personal social media.

19:04.000 --> 19:06.000
People wanted to see me in it.

19:06.000 --> 19:10.000
And like, when I was sharing things that were other people,

19:10.000 --> 19:14.000
they wasn't as engaging, at least for my personal social media, which made sense.

19:14.000 --> 19:17.000
So I tried to find something where all of us were talking.

19:17.000 --> 19:18.000
Yeah.

19:18.000 --> 19:19.000
Yeah.

19:19.000 --> 19:25.000
Do you see a lot of difference in leadership on the video for audio?

19:25.000 --> 19:28.000
On your track audio.

19:28.000 --> 19:29.000
Yeah.

19:29.000 --> 19:31.000
So do you see a lot of difference between video and audio?

19:31.000 --> 19:34.000
And I'd say what I thought was interesting.

19:34.000 --> 19:36.000
It depended on the episode.

19:36.000 --> 19:38.000
Um, so some episodes would do really well on YouTube.

19:38.000 --> 19:42.000
And others would do really well on like Apple podcast or Spotify.

19:42.000 --> 19:47.000
So I could see the number of downloads on Spotify because we did publish it with Spotify apps.

19:47.000 --> 19:50.000
And then I'd have to add that to what I saw in Apple podcast.

19:50.000 --> 19:53.000
This, it's kind of difficult to find stats for this.

19:53.000 --> 19:57.000
Um, but most of our episodes got roughly the same amount of views,

19:57.000 --> 20:00.000
just like distributed differently between the episodes.

20:00.000 --> 20:04.000
And I think that might be because of the person who is featured in there.

20:04.000 --> 20:06.000
Maybe they shared one or the other link.

20:06.000 --> 20:11.000
But I actually don't know why some of them did really well on platform and not the other.

20:11.000 --> 20:14.000
We should welcome our next speaker.

20:14.000 --> 20:15.000
Okay.

20:15.000 --> 20:16.000
I'm sorry.

20:16.000 --> 20:17.000
Speaker.

20:17.000 --> 20:18.000
Thank you so much.

20:18.000 --> 20:19.000
Thank you.
