Question about the business of podcasting:

I listen (irregularly) to Writing Excuses. Great discussion. Lately it seems to be at least 50% ads, and hasn't always been.

My feed comes from feeds.redcircle.com.

I don't begrudge them an income from the podcast (really), but with 50%+ ads, I wonder: is redcircle adding these ads? Are the hosts? (They voice a few of them but not most.) Do the hosts provide the podcast audio complete with ads to a syndicator who then publishes it on several different sites?

How does this work?

The #writingexcuses podcast is doing a close reading series, highlighting specific books that shine in specific areas (voice, worldbuilding, etc)

As often happens, it has me wondering what it would look like to apply that to code. 🤔

Interesting (short) #Podcast from #WritingExcuses

"In our first episode of 2024, we interviewed author and physician Abraham Verghese, who most recently published "The Covenant of Water." We talked with #Verghese about how to convey technical information in fiction."

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”
