Let's start over.. again..
A recidivist creators guide to not learning from last time
I beg your ongoing indulgence..
This the THIRD time I have tried to make Substack work.
The reasons for this are varied and multifacetitious, but I believe I’m being frank and reasonable when describing the current state of the world as a big bucket of suck.
So in that modern way, let’s skip over the facts and details to get right around the heart of the matter.
This site exists to support a podcast no-one is listening to ..but which keeps winning awards and platforms keep trying to kill.
Honestly, any normal person would have taken the hint by now. Like when Spotify disassembled the back-end, the BBC ripped off the format, or when thieves stole my laptop, hard-drives, mics and headphones etc..
But those people are quitters! And I am apparently not smart enough to join the dots.
Welcome to ‘Interconnector’, a show about joining the do..
LOOK, the main thing is I’ve managed to dredge it up from Hades and get it back online in a form people can still listen to with the music intact.
..via Playlists.
What does this mean?
It means I can probably never monetise it and recoup the cost of making the show.
It’s essentially the nicheiest thing in the niche shop and they still have to phone it in.
In normal podcast land, you’d subscribe to the show and be notified when new episodes squirm their way into the world - but that won’t work here.
Instead, apart from stalking me, the only way to know about the emission of a new episode is to follow this Substack.
This is where I will post about new episodes and when I’ve added them to the playlists.
And because monetisation is off the table, you can try to convince your wealthiest friends to sign up for a paid subscription. I would never expect you to do that, you’re cool, do the free one, but your rich friends? Yeah, sign them up, they won’t even notice.
There is no hope in hell of me releasing a new episode every week. I’ve tried that, failed, beat myself up and did I mention having all my things stolen?
This show is destined to fail.
Whatever spacial freewheeling entity that exists between the molecules of our reality, for whatever reason, doesn’t want this show to exist and endeavours to thwart me at every turn.
The best any of us can hope for is that THIS TIME I manage to get a few more episodes out into the world before the next calamity strikes.
So subscribe, tell a friend, enjoy the show and for gawd’s sake don’t jinx it.
