you could listen to previous episodes while recording that week's episode

I listened to the whole thing. I posted my podcast on YouTube by using iMovie to add a random image as the video. It didn't take long to make the video, but compressing and upload took a long time.

This is a great look inside the mind of anyone making a podcast. Like a podcast's podcast. It is very enjoyable to listen to. I'll probably fall asleep to it. I hate scripts.

this podcast literally changed the way i think, about details. great failure of a podcast, tao!

epic preamble...still listening/hoping to get to the "About My Writing" part(s) soon

Became aware of the drone in the background at this point.

OXFORD, MS / NYC — Nico Walker is the author of the novel Cherry (Knopf, 2018). He was born in Georgia and grew up in Las Vegas and Cleveland. He served as a medic in the Iraq war. And worked with the late Gian DiTrapano on Cherry while in prison in the mid 2010s. Here is a recent piece he wrote on Gian: https://www.bookforum.com/culture/giancarlo-ditrapano-1974-2021-24463

COLLEGE PARK MD — Jordan Castro is the editor of New York Tyrant Magazine and the author of The Novelist, forthcoming from Soft Skull in 2022. 

We spoke this past Sunday, 13 June 2021, at his spot in Maryland after I drove down from NYC to hang with him a couple days. Jordan and I got especially close over the past couple months after losing our friend, the editor and publisher Gian DiTrapano. Jordan also helped me a lot in the aftermath of the passing my girlfriend, the writer Kyra Baldwin, not long before the passing of Gian this past March.

Episode 1 of Two Hour Podcast About My Writing

This podcast began with a tweet where I said "A podcast that costs money in which I talk about my own writing for 2 hours nonstop without a plan 3x/week & devoting no other time to this". Since then, I've changed the details. This is now a free 60-120 minute podcast every Monday night focused only on my own writing (http://www.taolin.info/page/2) and I'm only spending 2 hours per week on this.

569 - Terence McKenna: "Searching for a Bias-less Media"

573 - Terence McKenna: "Countdown Into Complexity" - Part 1

Welcome to In The Lyme Light: a show about...well...Lyme Disease. In the Lyme Light aims to bring humor and knowledge to an otherwise somber topic with biweekly expert interviews that include, yes, the "heavy" stuff, but also everything in between that is meant to make your day a little bit brighter. Hosted by fellow Lymie and alpaca lover Alex Moresco I hope you enjoy listening in as much as I enjoy talking.

In our seventh episode of In The Lymelight, Alex sat down with Ana Saldamando, a fellow Lyme warrior in remission that is a writer, uplifter, and the founder behind Lyme Gets Better: “The place for living proof that you can get your life back (from the tick who stole it.”  Ana and I chatted about losing friends due to our lives with limitations, finding friends who we feel are soul mates, dating  with Lyme disease and the importance of staying positive and why she founded Lyme Gets Better.

Sayer Ji is a prominent holistic health researcher and the founder of one of the largest alternative health websites, greenmedinfo.com. We talk first and foremost about the coronavirus and the multiple fear narratives surrounding it, then venture into some other controversial topics: body ecology and the "virome," vaccines, internet censorship, science and its limitations, biological transmutation of elements, water bubble cavitation, and my favorite topic of late, ideological polarization and peace.

Sayer Ji: Beyond the Coronavirus (E45)

NAPLES — Giancarlo DiTrapano is the founder, editor, and publisher of New York Tyrant. The magazine initially, starting in 2005. And then of Tyrant Books, starting in 2010. I spoke with him in his apartment in Naples two days ago, before flying back to the states yesterday. After flying out there 11 days ago. He wrote for Vice for a minute during the early tens and has ran the workshop Mors Tua Vita Mea, with the writer Chelsea Hodson, in Sezze, Italy since 2015. He grew up in Charleston, West Virginia and spent many years in New York City before moving out to Italy five years ago. We talk about how he came into the game with the magazine and the imprint, what he’s psyched about writing-wise now, a whole bunch of stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed ripping this convo and running it back.
