What episode-search tools are you working on to help find specific content in the archive?

26:33So I said, go to Philmont, which is this website here, which basically they took about a petabyte of information from YouTube. and they housed it and it's very expensive to do. So this website, if you go to it and you put in office hours and Paul's question about underwater, if you type in underwater and you go to automatic subtitles, it generates this, which is really cool.

26:59So that was about nine clips that it came up with from what they call the auto, see how it says automatic subtitles? And then there's also manual subtitles. So this is a great service, but unfortunately, they only run their run about every six months. So it's not fresh, it's old, like it's stale data. And so what I asked the community to do to see if this would work, so this kind of started as a,

27:25let me just see if it'll work and it kind of exploded off. So I'm staging this right now. If the board approves this part of the website, then it'll be in there. But But an example is we had Opus, who's a sponsor for our shorts. And they're like, well, how many times did you actually say our name on your show? I could just go in here and type in Opus.

27:47And I'm like, hey, 40 times. And here's the exact time that we talked about it. So are they getting value? Absolutely. So there's reasons to have things like this. And so I'm trying to solve a problem. And I know some people are like, what privacy concerns? And I'm like, it's all on Philmont. It's all over there already. So I don't know if I'm going to ditch this project or what,

28:06but I'm trying to do this in service of the community. I don't gain nothing for doing this. This is just trying to take six years of information, 35 million words, throw it up there so that people can search and find stuff. I know Zach in Spokane has reached out to me a couple times like, hey, where's that SRT episode? Can you help me find it?

28:25And I'm like, go to Philmont. And he's like, no, it was a few weeks ago. And I was like, no, good luck. Then you're going to have to go through all the episodes by hand. He's like, I got to show my boss that part that what's important. We're on a gig. And it's like, well, sorry. So this should help speed things up.

28:38So that's been the one that I've been working on. Whether it'll see the light of day, we'll see. Right. Well, I think that's super cool. I mean, the ability to, I've wanted that for years because there have been a few times where I thought I'm like, I remember so-and-so, like I could have sworn they said that one thing or they recommended that one thing.

28:57but you know it's years ago and you can't remember and nothing nothing's indexed so i think that's uh i think that's pretty cool looking forward to seeing how that turns out all right just a reminder if you want to ask this show you can also go to ask office hours dot global that's another way it's another portal into our community that doesn't require

29:16logins very fast you can do that right now by going to office ask office hours dot global and it looks like we've got a QR code right there. Boop! If you just scan that, that will also take you to the right place and you can ask questions to these fine panelists. We've got a great team of people here today to be here and answer those technical production questions,

29:39anything related to audio and video and streaming and all that sort of stuff. All right, Courtney, what do we got next? Another one from Paul Valhus in Austin, Texas. He says, How much does a talker's distance to the wall behind them matter compared to the wall behind the mic? Which side would you treat first? Go ahead, Courtney. Well, it depends on whether you're at the bottom of the pool or in a room.
