@rufuspollock I'm working through creating a podcast using the Joseph Henrich recordings. You mentioned you wanted to make this into a series .... I've downloaded both conversations (one titled Podcast, one Culturology Part II) onto the Gdrive.

From our conversation my understanding is that these recordings will be divided up and a new series created. Three questions:

• [ ] Will both the Podcast and Culturology recordings be used in the same series?
• [ ] Should I decide on where to divide them (or you)?
• [ ] Do you have a title for the series?

[rufuspollock]

From our conversation my understanding is that these recordings will be divided up and a new series created. Three questions:

First, i think i reflected on this at the end of our last meeting and you could relisten to the recording there as quite useful i think in giving context.

• Will both the Podcast and Culturology recordings be used in the same series? ✅2023-07-28 yes this is one series.
• Should I decide on where to divide them (or you)? ✅2023-07-28 see comments below
• Do you have a title for the series? ✅2023-07-28 "Cultural Evolution: An Introduction" (or "Cultural Evolution: A new discipline is born" if you want something more dramatic.

Series:

• Episode 1 (original podcast): "Culturology and Cultural Evolution: The Birth of a Major New Field"
• Episode 2: "Homo Sapiens: The Cultural Species" (first new recording)
• Episode 3: "Cultural Evolution: Culture, Cultural Evolution and the Scaling of Societies" (part 1 of the second new recording)
• Episode 4: "Cultural Evolution: Implications and what's next" (part 2 of the second new recording)

Note: if we kept things easy we could just have episode 3 and 4 together as one big 3h recording and go with that.

[laurenwigmore]

@nathenf would you be able to review the Spotify podcast and the YouTube video and let me know if they're all OK as per previous ones. The draft podcast page has also been done minus the src link in the Podcast Folder - title Homo-sapiens-the-cultural-species Blog post created for the series in Blog<08<30: cultural-evolution-a-new-discipline-is-born-series

Questions -

• [ ] shall we publish all 3 episodes together? or is it best to stagger them?
• [ ] we will create a learn page for these episodes, but do we need to do anything else on the podcast page for this series?
• [ ] I have created a blog post for the series (instead of individual posts for the next 3 episodes)

[laurenwigmore]

• [ ] Create a learn page for all 4 episodes #568

[rufuspollock]

@laurenwigmore what's the timeline on this? I'd like to share this 😄

@laurenwigmore what's the timeline on this? I'd like to share this 😄

@rufuspollock I've asked Nathen to do a quick review as these were the first podcasts I have done, but basically everything is ready to go live. I do still need to do the Learn page for this though and potentially tweak the blog post - as it was mentioned the copy on the blog was too descriptive and would work better as the copy for the Learn page. But to answer your question I will release and make all amends by mid next week (if not before).

@laurenwigmore I've made some notes on the PR and here are some additional notes:

• On Spotify the thumbnails are the black of Web3 episodes rather than the usual yellow ones (that you've used for the Youtube) - As a side note actually a review of the thumbnails should be done as I can see Jamie Bristow is incorrect and Jefferey Martin ones are incomplete (no outline box)
• Once the learn page is complete, again link to this in the Spotify notes
• I would also add "For a full transcript and further information about the episode please visit [insert podcast page here]"
• On youtube again I would link to the learn page and individual podcast pages for the transcript
• Be sure to go back and edit episode 1 as well to align the copy and add in links to the learn page and podcast

[nathenf]

@laurenwigmore otherwise FANTASTIC 🎉

[nathenf]

@laurenwigmore is this complete and ready to close?

[laurenwigmore]

@nathenf I just need to update the thumbnails on Spotify still - I missed this previously. So will action this week and then close.

[laurenwigmore]

FIXED. Completed, all published.
