Today I launched my third podcast! "This Machine Belongs To" is a micro fiction horror following a journal, a machine, and those compelled to create. Big thanks to my friend and writer of the show @MattSpaziani for helping me bring this idea to life! Links below:

Sad day for artists of all kinds. Don't know where we will form our next community but we'll update when we know. You could join our @FailedCrits discord as a stop gap. I'll be spending time soon removing all media posts to protect our artists and ourselves.

With the changes to Twitter TOS we will likely be pulling down our podcast twitters @FailedCrits and @HalfwitHistory. I advise all content creators of any media to do the same as all content uploaded to the site will be legally considered public domain and feed CEO's AI company.

Holiday gifts you can give to a podcaster you love — without even asking them — that I guarantee they'll appreciate: - A review on @ApplePodcasts - A rating on @Spotify - An email of appreciation - Telling a friend about their show Happy happy holidays, podcast creators!

Fun Fact: Spotify accounts for 46% of our audience, so this is probably a good representation of our overall growth! Would love if other directories did a wrap up
