Well . . . as I slooowly come back out into public following a long quarantine period (although I've been active on Twitter), I make decisions about the future.
1. The podcast has ended; the blog will live on. In the beginning, podcasting was fun and communal. You could share, connect, and be entertained. Now the corporations have moved in, and there are too many choices out there. It's monetized in a way is wasn't 15 years ago. And it's highly produced and many shows are slick. There are some nice holdouts from the past . . . but not me.
2. My blog is meant to titillate while also informing. I want to share things that interest me. I want to encourage people to support the creators I review. I see my purpose as educational and promotional in nature. Not by promoting myself, but by promoting the writers and artists who contribute so much.
3. Have I featured your work and you object? PLEASE let me know for immediate removal. And please, also, accept my apology.
Now, you're homework assignment is to go read Small Favors by the playfully talented Colleen Coover! (The above panel is from her Small Favors Collection.)
