A week in the life of a zinester: new blogpost about my adventures at the local Anarchist Bookfair (at the request of Catmothcrow ❤️), reading & making zines, spotting little free libraries + a mini-tour with my band Lavender Witch (I'll add more photos of those concerts asap).

@davidhooper Tour / New song diary or liner notes
All right, I think I figured it out.
The newsletter includes liner notes, and the script that I write out for the podcast. It also includes pictures and any relevant text and stories.
The podcast includes the scripted newsletter liner notes along with bonus stories and tangents that frequently happen with audio.
Patreon includes concert videos, song downloads, and concert recordings.
Oh! And if I’m able to actually put together a music video, they can be a public video component. I won’t hold my breath on that one.
Finally, there is Promotion. That’s where I write short descriptive text that promotes the podcast and newsletter. I mix it with some photos and video snippets.
I like it!
I am currently working on my next podcast that comes out in the new year. This sounds like a good structure to make that happen.
Thanks a million David !
