Free expression is far more important than your feelings about any podcaster.

I need some help figuring out how podcast listeners are actually finding new shows! Tell me about how you found your most recent podcast binge:

@adamscrabble In the HBO doc, Q into the storm, the 8 chan guy said Q was Steve Bannon; the documentarian said Q was the 8 chan guy. Even did a cinematic "gottem" moment (did not convince me it was the 8 chan guy.)

You wanna hear something crazy, many people have told me Q was a creation and project of Bannon - and i dont mean they said it recently, they were saying this from the start. I think its pretty well known but not discussed And to be clear, i dont mean flaky nuts, i mean people in finance, journalism, politics both shitlib'ian and conservative.

Snippet from Chris Baron, who curated the list on picking these podcast episodes: "They make me feel connected to people who choose to step up when it really counts — and that's the kind of storytelling I love. There are superheroes out there, and most of the time we never get to hear about them, and celebrate them — but in these podcasts, we can."

It's nice to get a peek at what other people are listening to/avoid getting in a podcast rut. Link to "Wild On the Job Stories" Earbuds collection, curated by Chris Baron and edited by @arithisandthat: newsletter.earbuds.audio/p/5-podcasts-u…

My gosh, all these on the job stories sound absolutely harrowing. Can I handle the tumult? (They also sound perfect for podcasting.) New in the Earbuds newsletter: - trauma nurse at a plane crash - hot lava - sucked into an oil pipeline - a mercenary - dolphins 🔗to eps/post 👇

I'm launching a clinic for podcasters who don't use their good equipment when appearing on someone else's podcast. Especially when promoting their book.

@_dawnmontgomery @edchoice Welcome back to the Red Stick! (Friday fish frys are amazing.)

Yall this is why I love Baton Rouge!!!! We are on a micro-schools tour in the city w/ @edchoice TELL ME WHY we ended up at a school’s fish fry & folks are lined up everywhere. This is sooooo southern to me and it reminds me of the fish fries we used to have in Mississippi.

@RiversidedotFM 👀

We've upgraded Riverside's Co-Creator thumbnail generator in a big way! More control, more "looks like me," and more on brand. Generate better thumbnails, more tailored to you.

@scribemediaco The number one question speakers get before getting hired is: Do you have a book?

Before her book: mostly unpaid, local industry talks. After her book: $5K–$20K speaking engagements. Deb Gabor explains how publishing Branding Is Sex elevated her authority—and her fees. A book doesn’t just share ideas. It changes how the market values you.

@nocontextmemes I understood that reference.

@Protestia This is not a sentence I thought I would be reading today. Good morning.

Crossroads Church board chairman reveals that Brian Tome, who leads one of the largest churches in America, has been suspended pending an investigation that he whipped a congregant in the crotch with a riding crop.

@THEJimHarold Was just discussing this very thing with @MattCundill and @johnnypodcasts this morning. Radio! Ya could have been a contender!

When I worked in radio in 2005 & I told them I was doing this new thing called podcasting some laughed. I don’t hear that laughing anymore. Hmm…

Happy 225 day to Baton Rouge, Louisiana! The Red Stick is blooming.

Lunar New Year meets Mardi Gras this year. Laissez les bons temps rouler! Put a gold fleur de lis on your red envelope.

@realsashastone @mtaibbi @walterkirn Nooooo. Say it ain't so.

. @mtaibbi reporting that @walterkirn is off America This Week but details are not forthcoming. A disagreement over new direction of the site...like literally the greatest podcast of all time has now abruptly ended.

@RiversidedotFM It's either lurk or shout into the void.

@DaveJackson Evergreen advice. Don't build on rented (and impetuous) land!

I feel so bad for Alex. Such a great guy. This is why you don't build on rented land (said the guy on his own Facebook account which I was once kicked off of...)
