I’ve been experimenting for months on different ways to convert podcast content into a form I can use in Frankie. I’ve found several solutions, but along the way, I’ve left the resulting file tree in absolute chaos. I’ve got files in a dozen directories and an equal number of formats. There are fragments of scripts and clips and tools scattered throughout the hierarchy like bodies left to rot on a medieval battlefield, but there’s also no consistency, little documentation, and worse, still no definitive process.

Well it’s time to loot those bodies, gather the useful bits into a proper plan, and bury whatever is left.

FrankenTongues began with some very specific features in mind - features that I couldn’t find in other tools - and it’s taken a while to get here, but today was the day I finally got to play with two of the biggest.

There are times when implementing a new feature seems daunting - when the perceived difficulty of the task at hand hangs so ominously over your future-view that you seriously question whether you’ve got the stamina to get through it. But today I heard the sweet sound of success, literally, and can finally breathe a little easier.
