Friday livestreams start with a BANG as we work LIVE to demo adding synced lyrics to Spotify.
You know when you listen to a streaming song and there are lyrics, and they scroll with correct timing? That's what we are working on today.
PLUS, be here live so we can chat with you and answer your questions.
BONUS, if everything looks good, we might roll directly into the next episode of The Smile Syndicate Music Hour podcast! If this happens, it will be a miracle of technology and patience.
In the last poll, you said pie was the best, and at The Smile Syndicate, we agree.
For today's poll, which song do you most want to see synced? We will play the song and run through the lyrics with you in detail.
I stitched these together to give you 5-in-1. These videos have been getting up to 2000 views, which is crazy for a small account with only 61 subscribers. We are watching our stats like HAWKS this January to see if our advertising plus TikTok plus a few other targeted efforts will have a noticeable impact on audience.
We also finally fixed our hosting situation, which has been a 3-month long disaster. Our first new hosting option decided to shut down just after we joined them! We are now at Zencastr, and I built a pretty sparkly website to go with it. So things are coming together.
I think we are overdue for a livestream, too. Let’s book one soon!
How has your January been? Let us know about your projects!
We are excited to announce that some big changes are afoot for our Smileton podcast! Jason and I consulted with an expert and came up with an action plan to move the enterprise forward.
We are working on a new show title and podcast graphics, and will start publishing the show on a new podcast feed as well. The Smileton universe will continue as usual, and the show format will continue with slight changes. (You've probably notice a few format experiments in the last couple of weeks!)
There are many benefits to the changes we are making, and we'd love to share these with you in a livestream coming up soon. But in the meantime, watch this progress video as I command an AI to create podcast cover art of a cute small town, in 3D cinematic hyper realistic detail, featuring bright sunshine. How cool is that?!
p.s. Nothing will change around here, except perhaps some graphic changes and maybe a name change, if that's possible. We think the show is going to be called...
Hello, Smileton!
It behooves us to provide a warning about this week's episode. If hooking wires straight up to the fun centres of your brain and turning the juice on to full and zapping yourself straight into the most intense good time you've ever had listening to a podcast then plug on in to this, the latest episode of HELLO, SMILETON.
Miss Elizabeth and Jason are your trusty guides through Smileton, the podcasting capital of the world. Much comedy and musical enjoyment is headed straight your way so brace yourself.
A blast of yoga wisdom from Smileton's most over the top yoga practitioner will hit you full force like an unexpected kick to the solar plexus in the latest A YOGA MOMENT WITH ANGEL.
Smileton is full of things to do and your co-hosts will guide you to some of the most hot of hot spots in town in a brand new AROUND TOWN.
Jason's id, located deep within his fevered brain, seethes and pulsates and produces truth nuggets that rise, unbidden through his subconscious out into the light of day. ...
One is tempted to liken the impact of this, the latest episode of HELLO, SMILETON, to being hit with a Cat 5 entertainment hurricane while standing on the peak of the highest mountain top. One is also tempted to recognize this is drastically understating matters.
Miss Elizabeth and Jason are beaming and proud and why not? They're only delivering the very best in comedy and original music straight from the heart of Smileton, podcasting capital of the world.
On tap today is a vintage double shot: an edition of the SMILETON POLICE BLOTTER that reminds us all that the thin blue line never rests because there's a lot of nutty stuff going on out there and a PAID ADVERTISEMENT that reminds us all that no home décor is complete without lots of spittoons all over the place.
Surely that's enough for one show? Yeah, you'd think so, but we're not done yet. How about a classic LANCE BROCK'S ROCK TALK to fill you with the spirit of rock, rocking and other rock-related concerns.
The holiday ...
Cram this show into your ears and ignite your brain with this high-octane funtime rocket fuel. There's no denying the propulsive energy of the entertainment flying out of this, the latest episode of HELLO, SMILETON.
Miss Elizabeth and Jason are broadcasting from Smileton and their riotous blend of comedy and music has taken the podcasting world by storm.
The mean streets of Smileton have their watcher and Miss Elizabeth reports on the latest from the police scanner in a brand new SMILETON POLICE BLOTTER.
The good people of Smileton have their say and it's sure to leave us vexed and confused. Put on a thick, wool hat and listen to the latest SMILETON COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD.
Throw in a PAID ADVERTISEMENT from Jason's buddy Lance and two songs from Smileton's own THE SMILE SYNDICATE and I'd say this show is more than enough to fill your belly until the next new episode rolls around.
HELLO, SMILETON. If You LIved Here, You'd Be Home Already.

These are more like January temperatures. The time before Christmas usually isn’t this punishing.
Hi Smiletonian! I have been busy updating the Smileton podcast brand everywhere, including here on Locals. Our social media accounts have been switched over, and I have edited the page content here to keep things consistent. My username has changed!
