Agreed, though I combine using Little Snitch with Radio Silence: https://radiosilenceapp.com Little Snitch is great for when I want hyper granular control of a specific app's network permissions while Radio Silence gives me a super quick way to just block EVERYTHING for a particular app right away without even opening it the first time. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

Forgot to mention Radio Silence (commercial), seen by many as an easier introduction vs Little Snitch. Source: over 1 year ago

Sorry for the late reply. I use Lulu which should be enough, but I also simultaneously use Radio Silence to be safe. Source: almost 2 years ago

Little Snitch (LS) is considered by many to be the gold standard. The aforementioned Lulu has a good reputation. The app Hands Off! Appears to be no longer developed (site offline). Then there's Radio Silence that may well fit your needs. Finally, one or more apps by Murus may be of interest but AFAIK these are not easy to configure and may be overkill for the average Mac user.

This is a side project, and publishing one episode every week is challenging. Primarily if you target an evergreen strategy and not a news podcast.

There are some things like https://auphonic.com/, you can download and a file in, toss in most free audio programs and easily remedy majority of things for free. At that point would just contact the creator. Source: about 1 year ago

I generally use auphonic.com for noise removal and leveling. You get two hours of free processing a month. Source: about 1 year ago

Audacity is fine to edit with. The learning curve can be frustrating but you’ll get there. Learn noise reduction and amplify (to reduce breath sounds). Auphonic covers a multitude of recording sins and is worth the $10 or so you might may for the online credits every couple months. Good luck! Source: about 1 year ago

Upload recording to auphonic.com for automated processing (volume leveling -> pretty clean audio, speech recognition -> subtitles). - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
