Episode notes
How The Podcast Began
- Tom and Dennis started the podcast to support an ABA Tech Show talk and extend their Law Practice Today column into audio.
- They expected a short experiment but continued because their conversational chemistry resonated with listeners.
Old Intro Music Still Makes Them Cringe
- Hosts cringe at dated elements like their original intro music referencing 'Web 2.0' and early DIY production.
- They used AI to generate new theme options but never finalized a replacement.
DIY Production Was Grueling
- Early production was laborious: Dennis edited episodes manually and it took many times the episode length.
- Joining Legal Talk Network professionalized production and removed that burden.
