On BlueSky, people are posting twenty book covers of the books that impacted their lives, without any explanation or illumination of their importance. So I'm doing a podcast to accompany my choices.

Passed a major milestone today: I uploaded my first test audio file to ACX—The Amazon platform for audiobooks—and it passed! I was so nervous; the technical requirements are rigid and unyielding. So ... I'm including the reading of "Straight Facts About Flapping" here.
Listen and learn about Flapping, grasshopper.

I remember, as a child in the fifties, the Republicans screaming about the Communist threat and the arch-enemy Russia. Reagan called Russia the evil empire. We now have a Russian asset heading into the White House and the Republican party has metastasized into a coalition of grifters and Trump sycophants, all of whom seem to be sucking on Putin's tit, or something.

My Next Career: Voice-over and Audiobook Reader

Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
I had a revelation the other day about how I could make money. Any number of people have told me over the years I should do voice-over work. For whatever reason, I poo-pooed the idea. And then I was researching how to produce an audiobook of my own book, "The Rise & Fall of the HoneyBun Empire" and found this website where I could hire voice talent and it just hit me: "Hey I could do that!"
Better late than never.

Still processing the loss. I truly didn't see it coming. Of course I live in the SF Bay Area bubble. But how we could elect a convicted rapist and felon to the office of the presidency is beyond me.

The best music podcast I have ever heard. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I'm very happy he's only 2/5 of the way through his exhaustive and fascinating history of the popular music and the world of the second half of the twentieth century.

Still a demo, but I think the strings and oboe parts are keepers! Enjoy.
