five years worth of work coming out in the same week sure is something. An academic book about race in Les Mis fandom, a playable audio drama/game about Blade and a musical about Asian Pirates. Sums me up pretty well, I suppose!

i use spotify a lot (60k mins last year). This morning I transfered everything to qobuz & a podcast app. some songs didn't make the transfer, there are less features, i've lost my podcast listen history, some of my fav bands are now only on bandcamp. but convenience comes at a cost ya know
I did it. I did it! I finally dumped Spotify!!
I started here www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete... (TY @bcmerchant.bsky.social!!)
Then used soundiiz.com for free to transfer EVERYthing to www.qobuz.com/us-en/, where they pay artists a lot more, don't support ICE, & HAVE BETTER SOUND QUALITY.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

I firmly believe that there should be a Year Without Shakespeare in which every Shakespeare play in every theater's calendar is replaced by new work from a local playwright. I think that would be good for both theater and society.

But I'm ALSO mad because it's swallowed up most of Audible's commissioning budget, so there are less audio stories being commissioned
