When the Linux Matters podcast went independent, co-host Martin Wimpress faced a classic problem: three hosts, three different home studios, three different microphones, and absolutely no post-production team. Instead of hiring an audio engineer, Martin built one with software.
Introducing Jivetalking: an automated software audio producer written in Go. Jivetalking turns raw, imperfect microphone recordings into broadcast-quality audio with just a single command -- and zero configuration required.
In this talk, Martin breaks down how he bridged 50 years of analog studio history with modern digital signal processing (DSP), static FFmpeg integration, and adaptive heuristics to achieve flawless, consistent podcast audio every single time.
🌍 Ubuntu Summit 26.04 is a showcase for the innovative and the ambitious.
