Instead of a podcast, why not just try going live once in a while. No commitment. You can just do it when you are moved to share something. I think you have enough on your plate, right? Keep the lives short. People have no attention spans.

I enjoy your piece each day. It's interesting, clean, easy to get through quickly, and thoughtful. A podcast is a different animal. The podcasts I listen to have teams of people dedicated to creating content. Do you have time for that. Do you have a "media voice"? I'm not poo-pooing your idea, just encouraging you to consider the effort needed to do this successfully.

I enjoy reading. Listening to a podcast is too slow. The only “podcast” I’ve ever enjoyed was the first Serial about Adnon, which was a compelling, well told story and I happened to be driving a lot at the time.

loved the movie 'A League of Their Own' but only today learned of the feud...

and I don't know what I was reading in 2007 but the Amanda Knox story never caught my attention. I get Hulu so will watch it...

the rules of the theater - might should include those w/ every ticket sold...

going thru the being short article makes me cringe!!!! my ex was absolutely prejudiced against a lot, including short men. I, personally, find it sad that people, male & female, feel the need to have surgery to try to perfect themselves. I can understand after something like disfigurement after burns, etc., but just to "look like Barbie"... or even to take 10 yrs off. Nah, age gracefully...

Hunger in Paradise... hey, all of those socialists, & wanting to spread the wealth, & hatred towards the rich --- “If people on Nantucket are unable to get the food they need, I think it’s the decision point at which a lot of people say, ‘Maybe this isn’t for us,’ and they decide to leave. This could be teachers, first responders, multigeneration family-business operators who just say it’s too hard to make it, and we should find another place to build a life.” And with so many people on waiting lists and federal funding disappearing, that decision point may be coming sooner than anyone wants to admit ... so no more Paradise, no more vacationers... turn it into a socialist island, call it Cuba II. &/or raise minimum wage to $40/hr, then word will spread, many more will move there, building will increase, till more little apartments are needed... then can reverse the trend, tear down the mansions, build lots of little high rise apts... till the minimum wage folks can't afford to pay for the influx of others coming in --- oopsie, tables get turned, California, here we come....

Used to listen to podcasts when I was commuting two hours a day. Now I just don’t have any interest, or the ability to sit for an hour and listen. I do catch the odd one on YouTube, but they are usually 15 minutes or less. I did get value out of the ones I listened to, but not enough ny more to make it worth paying for the privilege.
