Aubrey Gordon is amazing and also has a podcast with Michael Hobbs who is a journalist for the Huffington Post called Maintenance phase.

Here's a link.

Or just search for Maintenance Phase on your podcast app.

Everyone knows it's that time of year when many people feel compelled to set goals to alter their body and restrict their food. The pressure to be thin is everywhere---it's the water we swim in. If you want to take care of your body, I hope this is the year you learn more about weight-neutral approaches to health! The Health At Every Size movement and books by fat activist Aubrey Gordon are great places to start!

In case you weren't excited enough for the second half of The Kingmaker Histories series two, we have officially locked in Jonny Sims for a future episode. It's an extremely funny script, and he has done a fantastic job with the material. We are very, very excited to share it with you in the new year.

In a stunning coincidence perhaps only matched by the sheer surreality of the Destiel canon/Georgia election flip debacle of 2020, during the call where Meg and Addison were reviewing the audio they both were made aware that Henry Kissinger was dead.

And if you, dear dash scroller, didn't know that he was dead, now you do. You're welcome.

Binge listening Till Death Do Us Blart is like listening to a very slow hostage situation unfold.

I tried to write a novel. Not once. Not twice. But about 12 times. Here's how that would play out: 1. I sit down and knock out 10 pages 2. I share it with someone 3. They say "It's goooood" like it's not good 4. I ask for critical feedback 5. They say, "Well....the plot just moves so quickly. So much happens in the first few pages it doesn't feel natural." So I'd write more drafts. I'd try to stretch out the story. I would add dialogue that I tried to make interesting but thought was boring. I would try including environment and character descriptions that felt unnecessary, (why not just let people imagine what they want?) Anyways, I gave up trying to write because in my mind, I wasn't a fiction writer. Maybe I could write a phonebook or something. But then I made a fiction podcast, and I waited for the same feedback about the fast moving plot, but guess what??? Podcasts aren't novels. The thing that made my novels suck became one of the things that made Desert Skies work. I've received some criticism since the show started, but one thing I don't receive regular complaints about is being overly-descriptive or longwinded. In fact, the opposite. It moves fast enough that it keeps peoples attention. I always felt I had a knack for telling stories but spent years beating myself up because I couldn't put those stories into novel form. The problem wasn't me. The problem was the tool I was trying to use. All that to say: If, in your innermost parts you may know that you're a storyteller but you just can't write a book, don't give up right away. You can always do things to get better and there's a lot of good resources. But if you do that for a while and novel writing just isn't your thing, try making a podcast, or creating a comic, or a poem, or a play, or a tv script. You might know you're an artist but suck at painting. Try making a glass mosaic, or miniatures, or try charcoal portraits, or embroider or collage. You might know you're a singer, but opera just isn't working out. Why not yodel? I could keep listing out examples, but the point is this. Trust your intuitions when it comes to your creative abilities, but don't inhibit yourself by becoming dogmatic about which medium you can use to express that creativity. Don't be afraid to try something new. Don't be afraid to make something new. You might just find the art form that fits the gift you knew you always had, and what it is might surprise you

Okay now I'm curious- I try to recommend fewer shows that I think are pretty well known these days, but I wonder if most of them are as well known as I think. Here's my list and my question, remember it's heard of not even necessarily listened to:

The Magnus Archives, The White Vault, Wooden Overcoats, The Bright Sessions, Welcome to Nightvale, The Black Tapes, Wolf 359, Video Palace, I Am In Eskew, Archive 81, Two Princes, Midnight Burger, Brimstone Valley Mall, Woe.Begone, Malevolent, Ars Paradoxica, Eos 10, King Falls AM, The Adventure Zone

Hey all, been an intense few days, and realised I haven't actually posted here about the fact the crowdfunder for The Magnus Archives RPG by the incredible Monte Cook Games is live RIGHT NOW.

It's going amazingly well, far beyond what we could have predicted, and I'm so excited by it. It looks amazing and I'm so psyched to see how Monte and the team bring the Archives to the tabletop. As someone who's been roleplaying since the 90s, Monte's work has obviously been a big feature in my gaming life, so you'll have to forgive me if there's a slight fanboyish tinge to how I talk about the project!

Check it out here!

We're four days away from our MTO finale; It's the end and we could use some help getting eyes and ears pointed our way. All the basic info about the show is below - could you help us by sharing, suggesting, recommending us to your friends and followers?

*****

MOONBASE THETA, OUT

Is our queer emotional anti-capitalist sci-fi audio series with deep, engaging, diverse characters and a captivating storyline. We've told our story for 5 years, growing from one voice to over 50, from simple narration to an expansive tale that's about to reach the end.

You can find MTO in any podcast app or on our website.

*****

"It is 2098. The Moonbase program has been determined unprofitable. The last base, Theta, is twenty weeks from being decommissioned. Most of the crew is in stasis awaiting retrieval. Five remain – Roger Bragado-Fischer, Nessa Cheong, Ashwini Ray, Michell L’Anglois, and Wilder.

Join the crew of Moonbase Theta as they reach out to share the beauty, the isolation and frustration, the love and enmity, the humour, and the tragedy, as all count down to the operation's end ... and what comes after."

Humbly going to slide our lil sci-fi dramedy podcast onto your radar, Crash of the Mellifera.

"What could be more relaxing than a space cruise hosted by Apis Industries? Nothing, of course! Join loyal cruise director AI "Worker B" and the less enthusiastic Captain Arthur Winnipeg as they investigate mysterious malfunctions, pacify the increasingly unhappy guests, and tick slowly towards their voyage's sudden, violent end. Who knows? Maybe they'll even survive!"

Have a fantastic day, you're doing amazing work out there.

I always approve of Bee related puns and I do love a foreshadowing title especially considering the initial tone. It looks very cool thanks for sharing!

Okay so with only six days left in our S2 crowdfund, I’m making a promise that I may come to regret… if we can hit £2k (that’s a little under £400 away) before the end of the campaign, I will share the DEEPLY embarrassing Magnus Archives fan episode I made in 2021. (I cannot stress enough how embarrassing my Jon voice is. Even if I am a little proud of my Martin and Tim voices. But I do what I must, for the crowdfund)

[hooklineandpodcast]

We're back! Now that Twitter is even more dying and finding casting calls and help wanted ads can be a pain, I'm resurrecting my Helped Wanted Ads page.

Anyone can submit a casting call, classifieds ad, help wanted ad, etc. for free. I accept or reject submissions at my discretion, but unless there's something I find egregious, it'll get posted.

Please send me any casting calls/etc. you see!
