Video podcasts exist solely as a marketing tool. A celebrity must be visible, they must have their face 'out there'. It must be cut up and turned into digestible (disposable) bites that must have captions because it won't be watched with sound anyway.

When all you want to do is make audio how do you find an audience when algorithms are almost entirely gained towards video and especially faces?

It's been a rough few weeks since losing my Dad but I think things have turned a corner. I'm finally able to bring you the last two episodes of this series of The Sound Of.
Will there be another? Not sure yet but this season is ready to binge.

I didn't know Variety did ragebait.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Income inequality is higher in the US today than it was in 1774, even if you factor in slavery.

Having an argument with my family feels like being followed into a revolving door and coming out second.
Even though I've ended up where I wanted to be when I started, I have the vague lingering feeling that I've done something wrong and they've still come out ahead.

I took up painting again to relax.
I'm never painting one of these bumpy bastards ever again. 90% of the time spent on it was taken up by fixing mistakes I'd made. One tiny slip with the brush and you have to go over another bit again. It was sisyphean.

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

Britain is so far away from being a republic that should a King Ralph style tragedy occur they would just let Edward ascend to the throne and totally rewrite his narrative. You either have a hereditary monarchy or you don't and frankly they're not ready to be without that particular comfort blanket.

I absolutely love horror and weird fiction. Unfortunately I've suffered from nyctophobia and nightmares my whole life. The upshot of this is reading an M.R. James story is like eating ice cream with lactose intolerance: Sometimes you just know you're going to pay for it and carry on regardless.

I have been a fan of musical comedy all my life: Tim Minchin, Tripod, Tom Cardy, Garfunkel & Oates, Eric Idle, even George Formby and Noel Coward.
Despite this I have never seen Flight of the Conchords.

In this special bonus episode, we look at New Zealand’s “fourth most popular comedy-folk duo” and their award-winning HBO show, which centres on Bret and Jemaine’s spectacular failure to take New York by storm.
