Astonishing! Listening to the #WritingExcuses State of the Podcast about their upcoming start of host-read advertising.

I completely understand their need for some more revenue to support the podcast. But they are starting to run ads just when other podcasts are finding that ad revenue is drying up.

This is especially true for host-read ads (see recent TWIT and Relay.FM podcasts). Timing may be off for WritingExcuses.

I was catching up on old Writing Excuses podcasts (I'm way behind) and the homework for one episode on poetry was to come up with a line from a novel or short story that really speaks to you and use it as the basis for a poem.

The only line I could come up with was, "Do you just. Hate. Trash cans!?"

Wanted to add that The Dresden Files is a good addition for supernatural detective fiction.

I think I’m developing a #podcast problem. I’ve had people yapping in my ears all day, no breaks. Even blasted it while I was in the shower.

Today I’m mostly listening to #Sawbones (comedy/info about medical history, the latest eps: anthrax, farts, RSV, 3 great eps about pirate medicine 🏴‍☠️) and #RichRoll (ultra-athlete interviews people - plant-based, self-improvement, misc content)...

Might do #Ologies, #QDropped, #DuolingoFrench and #WritingExcuses next…

Really enjoying the latest #WritingExcuses series, “Eight Embodied Episodes About Disability”
