#180 – The Mixer Finally Talks

Episode Description

Michael is getting hands-on with the RØDECaster Pro II, and thanks to Sean’s AccessCaster software, the mixer is finally usable without relying on its touchscreen. Michael and Damashe walk through the hardware, routing, multiple-computer setup, smart pads, monitoring, and what accessible third-party software changes about the value of otherwise inaccessible hardware.

The conversation also moves into Michael’s upcoming guide dog training, Apple hardware and the folding iPhone discussion, Siri and podcast transcripts in Earshot, the Technically Working website rebuild, remote mixer control, and Damashe’s experiments using the Drafts MCP connector with Claude.
