Episode notes
Make The Podcast Fun, Not A Job
- Do treat the podcast as a place to have fun, not as onerous work tied to metrics or expectations.
- Avoid overthinking edits and marketing; lean on listeners to share if they like it.
Focus Patreon On Live Streams
- Do keep monthly live Patreon streams and cut the weekly Patreon extras that feel like shouting into the void.
- Focus paid-community efforts on interaction that feels valuable and rewarding.
Boat Naps Remind John Of Chemo Naps
- John recounts a whale-watching trip where cold and seasickness made the outing miserable until a crew member recognized him.
- He notes boat naps and chemo naps share a similar forced, miserable quality.
