One Take. No Edits. Ten Minutes. Every Day.
The Joke Talk Yell Write Podcast Today podcast is now available for all subscribers. One take-no edits-ten minutes-every day.
I love talking shit. I love making people laugh. I love making people think. I love talking into microphones. This is what I was doing for a living long before anyone asked me to write books, television shows, films, or 1200 word rants about sandwiches and colonialism on the internet.
Talking into microphones is also how I write; it’s a big part of my process these days. I’ve been talking into my recorder, phone, and laptop and using the transcripts for new standup material, to work out ideas for pieces here on Substack, and for reflections and pontifications for the book I’m writing. It’s helpful for me to riff, reflect, rant, and talk the words I have trouble getting onto the page.
I was doing a lot of writing, talking, and recording, in the last few months, and I thought it’d be wise for me to use some of that work here. My idea to offer the daily podcast to the paid members of my Substack was a bit of a risk and an experiment. I wasn’t sure folks would want to hear from me all that often, but I tried it anyway. Since publishing the daily podcast here the numbers don’t lie, paid members aren’t all that interested in listening to a daily podcast, which is cool, no hard feelings here.
Paid members are the life blood of this work. The support of paid memberships allow me to take the time out of my day from being a stay at home dad and part time part time creative, to sit and write and create and work on the things that matter most to me. I am grateful to each of the paid members that have been able to support this work with their hard earned cash. My good heart and mind go to each of you (them). For paid members who were promised an exclusive paid members podcast, you’ll still get that; it just won’t be daily. You’ll receive bonus content and extra episodes of the show.
So.
I’m enjoying the daily podcast more than I thought I would. It’s good for my brain. It encourages me to sit in my office and take time for myself and my work. I’ve developed some solid material while recording the show. I’ve added some of the material to my writing and riffs and ponderings.
Today I’m announcing that the daily podcast will go out to every member of my Substack, whether you have a paid membership or a free membership. My goal is to make work that people care about, whether reading or listening or watching. The journey on that road continues today!
HOW TO RECEIVE THE PODCAST
I WILL NOT BE PUBLISHING THE DAILY PODCAST TO YOUR EMAIL DAILY. I PROMISE.
I don’t want to inundate your email with my Substack posts, I don’t think I’m cool with that. So, I’ll drop a weekly podcast roundup into your inbox every Saturday. In that post, you’ll get the podcast episodes from the week that was. This way you won’t get daily posts from me.
Here’s the best way to receive the podcast:
The show will be posted here on Substack, but it will not be pushed to email every day. Honestly, get the Substack app to receive everything. The app is an incredible asset to readers and followers of writers on Substack.
The podcast will be available here on Substack, if you use the website you can find it here by searching Joke Talk Yell Write Podcast Today.
Visit joketalkyellwrite.com. This will send you to my Substack. Everything I post will be found over there.
Add the podcast RSS feed to your favourite podcast app. Read more about how to do it HERE.
Do nothing. You’ll get an email from me every Saturday that collects the podcast posts from the week. You’ll be able to hear everything there.
