Have you ever wondered, what does a podcast librarian do? It's okay, @weird_work did, too. And luckily, they recorded the conversation for you to hear! radiopublic.com/weird-work-8…

2022! New personal project! More physical book reading, spurred by my local @ltlfreelibrary book finds. This thread (and #LFL52in22) will keep track of my project & my reading throughout the year. Why more (physical) books? So happy you asked: maayanplaut.com/post/6722182…

#LFL52in22: My Year-long Reading Challenge

For a kid who grew up in a room double-insulated with double-stacked bookshelves lining every wall, who came downstairs for the weekend with a stack of books and read them all, who was constantly...

Have I read Holes three times this year, once of which was out loud to my friends? Yes. Does that say everything you need to know about how I feel about this book? Probably. I love the interwoven storylines that pop in at exactly the right time! It’s so good! #LFL52in22 38/52

Me Before You tackles a tough moral question: who is life for? When we live, is it for us, for others, both? I got unexpectedly all caught up in this book, so much so that I didn’t realize I was crying at the end. #LFL52in22 39/52

Read the whole thing, cause it’s Rose and it’s good and there are eels BUT from the midpoint on is the essay version of the excellent keynote Rose gave at #mpc2022 about endings! It is thoughtful and beautiful and I think about it weekly.

There's a reason I'm on the board of @hubspokeaudio: there have to be alternatives to big podcasting, and there is a cost to being indie that can't be overlooked. H&S folks are working together to think, explore, and model success for independent creators. transom.org/2022/an-indie-au…

Sketch note from @roseveleth’s keynote on endings at #mpc2022 Highlights: can’t go anywhere if you don’t start, but equally important to think about how things end! Doesn’t need to go forever, it is okay to wrap, not from a stressor but just because. It’s brave. Celebrate it!
Hand drawn and written sketch notes from a closing keynote about endings. Standouts: success = sustain itself, make forever (ahh!), how do you know when to end? What are the good reasons to make a show: fun, lucrative, expansive which sums up to Do!! Can we reframe endings as a celebration, a party?

Sketch notes from What All Creators Can Learn from TTRPGs with @El_Silvero @Randwiches @JW_Cartwright @taylordotbiz at #mpc2022 Highlights: TTRPGs are mirroring what’s going on in podcasting, RSS is resistance, indie is everything, game mechanics are the tools to make a show
Hand written and drawn sketch notes from What All Creators can Learn from TTRPGs. Standouts: who gets to play? Anyone can play! Are we having fun? Corporatization is a threat, RSS = resistance. Create your own rules to tell the story you want. Game mechanics are tools to make the show. This isn’t a game, it’s a structural device.

Hand written and drawn notes from Stuff No One Tells You about Running a Podcast Company. Standout quotes: use corporate work to benefit biz, learn how to break the rule, no one knows what they doing, dream of small empires of silly shit, peer networks and support.
